So what you guys are saying is, if you can scam the right outline, then you don't have to do anything beyond read that outline a few times, make a checklist from it, and do a few practice exams.  Am I reading this correctly?

well theoretically yes.  but it better be a damned good outline. 

::looks at mu::

i mean the other thing is, the readings and classes can inform you of subtleties that you may be able to use that you would not be able to glean from the outlines.

Here's a plan:

1.  Go to class for the first time in my life (living with girl who will kick my ass if I don't).
2.  Do skim readings except when prof points out something is absolutely key or if it looks interesting.
3.  Outline from skims.
4.  Compare outline to others being circulated.
5.  Fill in gaps.
6.  Do practice exams with outlines.
7.  Work out strategy checklist based on practice exams.
8.  Get pwn3d on exams.


Thoughts?

if you do #8 i will fly out there and kick your ass after your girl is done kicking your ass.  

the rest of the stuff looks good.  remember, do NOT fall behind.  work STEADILY.

swibbles is pissing me off.

... ::makes new checklist::

(x) going to get beer
( ) drinking
( ) posting drunken snark

brb.

what?  why?

Halfie and those whose type he is can safely be classified as grody. Yes, I'm feeling charitable.

so...  you're into grody.  got it.

why am i harassing you?  i don't even KNOW you.

damned finals.

Yeah, I like nerdphanie.  At first I thought the Hamilton question was douchey, but once I found out it was her, I thought it was funny. 

i've found that even the best people sometimes come off the wrong way (and sometimes it's just how you perceive what they're doing based on what you had for dinner the night before).  that's why i try not to draw conclusions about people's characters until i've got a large enough collection of data points to make sure there's not a really high probability of sampling error.

Damn, I was just about to type this. 

it doesn't matter.  we're all the same person.

grody?
