general IQ, but specifically your natural aptitude for law.
Obviously, you have more control over Factor #1. If you work hard enough,

word your prof says. In the long run the productivity you gain from not
surfing, IM'ing, blogging, mine-sweeping, offering study advice on BBS, etc,
will far outweigh the loss. | D**********s

发帖数: 3888 | 5 If you insist on taking notes on laptop, you don't really need to practice
anything new. Taking notes is just typing into Word (although I use OneNote)
