[music playing] It may be smaller than some of the lecture
halls in undergrad, but this is probably one of our largest classrooms. You can see there
are seats for probably about 80 or 90 students. That is because, as a first year law student,
everyone takes the same core fundamental classes. We're talking torts, contracts, civil procedure,
and a host of others like property, constitutional law, and so forth. Those main classes, because
everyone has to take them, are going to have larger numbers of students in them. So those
will be classes where you'll see anywhere from 60 to about 80 students in a classroom,
and you can see that's exactly why these rooms are as big as they are.
--But by your second and third year, you have the opportunity to take smaller seminar courses.
So this is a good example of what one of the seminar course rooms would look like. It's
usually going to be a smaller amount of students. Most seminars are anywhere from 18 to 25 students
or so. --This is like an average class. The students
are still getting some help, which is nice, after class.
--Yeah. --That's one thing about the professors, is
they'll tend to stay as long as you want them to, and answer questions after every class.
I've never really known a professor to just give the lecture and then walk right out.
They'll stay and they'll help you. And they also have office hours scheduled for the week
as well, that you can go in and speak with them. They're really hands-on, which I think
is kind of a good approach, because you're learning a whole new system of thinking. You
want to have someone there who can guide you through and help you with it.
