Rolston comes to class with 10-14 pages of tyoped notes for his lecture and will read right off of them. This can make it hard to keep up with his pace. If you stop him and ask questions he has no problem stopping his lecture, answering the questions, or going back to repeat some information, but you have to be willing to speak up. If no one says anything he will continue going through his lecture. The readings are not really bad. You do no thave to read the entire opinion of all the cases. Just make sure you know the case name and why it is important. He will also let you know that during the lecture. The whole class is graded on a midterm and a final. He gives you a study guide that has a list or terms and possible essay questions. If you spend time studying the guide then you will get a good grade. There will not be anything on the test that is not on that guide. Overall, I would say his class is pretty easy, just make sure you go to class, and bring a voice recorder and you will be fine. Several students and I all recevied As or A+s and we all just focused on the study guides for the test.
