No, I dont hate you. Mainly because we take Civ Pro I in the second semester, and the CP II 3rd semester. The only thing that sucks about my current professor is that he taught the material completely backwards. He taught us pleadings first instead of PJ and SMJ material. Joinder was smack in the middle of the semester, and then we had to go through that material again after PJ and SMJ so we can have a better grasp of the material. Every other professor is doing it the opposite way. So we'll see after finals how well his "method" worked.

My professor actually taught us pleadings first as well; I like the way she's taught things so far. I had heard that the order is reversed most places, but it seems to be working out for my class. I figure as long as we get to all the material, the order isn't so important to me.

Plus, the order has worked well; we went from pleadings to Due Process to Jurisdiction, and it's made a lot of sense that way.

We learn remedies before consideration and bargaining, not sure if thats a localized thing or not.

You're talking contracts, right? We learned consideration first. My contracts professor is awesome, so I'm just going to trust that he's leading us in the right direction.

ExamSoft is compatible with Macs, that's the only one I know about.
