me: "you'll see"

even if the law school profs want files in ms word (which says a lot), still do all of the work in google docs so that i can have a copy that shows timestamps/whatnot. i've been in key shared ms files/projects that lost substantial changes (not just mine), so developed workflow for this anyway

as this is my 2nd time attending grad school & was well-aware of false positives, i over-cite to the point where i annoy the profs. lolz. well, paraphrasing is also plagiarism w/o citation...so if your test/exercises/assignment questions are to paraphrase results, citations are students best defense

it would be understandable in the classes where there are a mix of future lawyer students and not-future-lawyer students.
less understandable when a class is for not-future-lawyer students bc you can't use those credits for a JD.

also, de ja vu on some profs feedback. when i was an undergrad, had to remind profs that wasn't going for phd.
didn't think i'd have to remind profs that i have zero intention of being a lawyer.
think they mixed me up with someone else in class.
