Try your hand at those portions of past midterm and final exams dealing with subject matter jurisdiction. Additionally, I reserve the option to administer unannounced closed-book quizzes at the commencement of each class. Finally, I may assign the class a particular practice exam or other exercise to answer at home. The answers will be turned in for my review and comment. Rather the numerical grade and my comments will give you an idea of your level of progress in the course in comparison to other students.
