In addition to the Dean's Fellow Study Groups, the Academic Achievement Program provides students with an array of ways to prepare for and complete law school examinations. The Academic Achievement Program offers:
Exam Advice from the Director, Professors and Dean's Fellows: The Academic Achievement Program has recorded essential advice (in both video and written formats) from the perspectives of the Academic Achievement Program director, professors and current and former Dean's Fellows on law school study strategies and test taking tips.
The Exam Workshop Series: These workshops offer students intensive exam prep sessions, facilitated by a Dean's Fellow, which focus on developing critical thinking, analytical, issue-spotting, organizational and writing skills.
Lunchtime Workshops: Attend a lunchtime workshop or visit the Academic Achievement Program's collection of videos and presentations from past workshops on everything from a professor's perspective on exam taking to how to write a case note.
Midterm Help: This section provides information for students on immediate steps to take in order to learn from the midterm practice exam experience and to better prepare for the fall semester final examinations.
