I study a lot more for them because they're much more interesting than easy ones. Of course the amount of studying I do for idiotic gen-ed classes is pretty much constant, no matter how hard the class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-1109201999037570952005-02-23T15:39:00.000-08:002005-02-23T15:39:00.000-08:00There's a difference between grades and torts, tho...There's a difference between grades and torts, though. If you fail a class then you've failed, and it doesn't matter how much you fail by. Failing by a wide margin is no worse than barely failing. But if you fail to meet tort standards, it still does matter how much you fail by. If you fail by a lot, you are likely to have more cases against you, and you may also be likely to have to pay more damages in each case. Every potential lawsuit is like a different class, so there is reason to keep your level of care up as long as there are some lawsuits that you could prevent.Blarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654557196171228300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829599.post-1109125923703376832005-02-22T18:32:00.000-08:002005-02-22T18:32:00.000-08:00I thought that was an interesting comparison.I thought that was an interesting comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
