My handwriting is pretty impenetrable. I can read it though.

But, no scanner!

shnoz, that's pretty cool.

There was that old meme a while back that claimed that some scientists had discovered that people pay attention to the presence of letters but read words as wholes, and so therefore as long as you write a word with the correct first and last letters, all the letters in between can be whatever order you want. Of course this "discovery" was written in this very way and, indeed, was perfectly readable.

I wonder if the "word-images" are so hard-coded in your brain that this wouldn't work for you?

One of the only refreshing things about law school is that every test is completely open book, because any other way of taking a test is utterly retarded.

Especially when such a huge part of law is research in the first place. Any lawyer is always going to have all the materials available that he needs. The only exception is during oral argument. I keep saying we should have oral exams.

I was going to say that I would think they would test this, but I guess since not every person that gets a law degree is going to be a trial lawyer it isn't entirely necessary.

I guess, but I think oral examinations should be a much larger part of education in general. They're certainly far more useful for assessing a student's knowledge than locking them in a room with a pencil for an hour.

Truth: oral communication skills are always useful.

Oral exams aren't "presentations" in the vacuous corporatespeak sense of the word. They're simply the ability to have on-point conversations with someone who is actively not going to let you bullshit through something. They're dialogues.

At any rate, I was speaking more about liberal education - you know, the education everyone is supposed to get before their vocational training, in grammar school.
