Impressions on First Day of Class

Had our first class today! The professor was nice, but class moved more slowly than I thought it would, and nothing anyone said, including the professor, gave me a "wow!" moment.

Lots of people volunteered to answer questions. Class dynamics was very good -- much better than I imagined. Questions the prof asked weren't that hard though, and at times it was a little boring. No one in the first class, though, dared to play Solitaire or surf the Internet. I predict that it will be at least the third week before people begin to do that.

The cases seemed a lot more interesting when we read them than when we discussed them. I actually kind of enjoyed reading the cases, but class was still a bit mundane. Don't know, perhaps it was just a weird dynamic the first day.

Seats they assigned us were absurdly small -- couldn't fit my laptop, the casebook, and my binder all on there. Kept on bumping into people next to me.
