"...how would you help that person do better than you did?"

Andrew, do you mean "do better" only in terms of grades? quality/amount of knowledge gained? overall experience (including social life)? or all of the above?

I sometimes feel that linear comments interrupt dialog. Thus, multiple comment boxes. Perhaps to correlate with multiple suggestions?

Get hold of secondary sources: i.e., data that a person has interpreted and reduced. (Is the quality of the secondary source then a function of the quality of the reducer? Infinite regress? -- no. Think about it.)

In other words, don't rely on casebooks and lectures for your learning. Rely on "outlines" of your professor's class, and "case-briefs" of your professor's casebook, that other students have put together. Your goal is to accumulate and collate the outlines, using the skill described in the previous paragraph.

I plan to elaborate on this more soon. Sorry to disappoint.
