Hello Paige,

About your research challenges...  Does your school have Westlaw and Lexis Nexis representatives?  They might be able to give you one-on-one coaching.

Hi! 

I’m a 1L who needs tips in research and writing! I also use JAWS. 

My class is structured that we do a writing exercise in small teams - usually in the form of a timed exercise or game like a puzzle or crossword. I have been given alternate assignments, but it doesn’t translate well to group work. 

For citations, we do another crossword to unlock a quiz. (I do an alternate assignment), and take a quiz in D2L. We have three tries, but the quiz does not tell you what you specifically did wrong in the citation, only that the entire question is wrong. The research portion of the class has been no better…

I feel like I’m not being given enough feedback in class to learn over time, and the group work has only added stress. I’ve voiced my concerns to my school multiple times to no avail, and I’m nervous, since I have part 2 of the class in the spring - if I pass part 1!

Thanks everyone!!

Paige
