Midterm Madness

For the first time at law school, I’ve given a midterm exam (or an “assessment exercise” in eduspeak).   My 1L Contracts students lost of day of instruction and I lost Fall Break.   Many years ago I had a surprise “pop” midterm my first semester of law school but never another.  Nor have I heard that other law schools are offering midterms.

Students seemed generally appreciative but other than anecdotally, I don’t know how to evaluate whether my midterm will have helped students on my final exam, much less on exam in other classes.
