Each fall I teach Legal Analysis and Methods (“Methods”), a required class for students who have been placed on academic probation or warning. When planning the class, I try to pause and reflect about what the last few months have been like for these students. They came to a new school, entered a new learning environment, worked hard for months, paid a lot of money, sacrificed time with friends and family, and at the end of the year were told (in the form of low grades) that they needed to do better, to do more, to do something differently. That’s tough! . . .
