I don't think that's too much to ask, frankly.

It would seem that a difference in testing procedures would not mean a difference in material-- the difference exists in evaluation and not material. I would also like to note that despite your attempt to distinguish yourself from the so-called "Kollege students," you prove that you are inherently the same-- a bunch of whiney brats who want canceled class, easy exams, and lots of extra credit. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do some research to determine the true keys to victory in the Battle of Waterloo. PS: F-minus for you.

Commissioner,

I was making an observation about the empirical nature of the exam, and not the subjective characteristics that your weed-addled “Kollege” students complain about down there at ol’ FSU (Motto:Sure beats working!).

Just goes to show you that even Justice Stevens can get one right. I believe this is founded on the judicial precedent of "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then." "The ABA requires that evening courses be “materially similar” to those of day courses. Our Property mid-term in December was 2 hours long and our final is 4 hours long. Full time students are only subjected to a 4 hour exam for the same number of credits. Is a 50% increase in exam time “materially similar”?" As a teacher, I find this amusing. Evidently, our highly qualified, distinguished law students are no different from my jackasstic, unqualified undergraduate students-- nothing but a bunch of whiny clowns. Quit complaining and take the test... and no, there isn't any additional extra credit you can do... and yes, this will be on the test. "Does the purchase of Wm. J. Wrigley Co. by Mars Foods portend the arrival of M&M flavored chewing gum?" Let's hope so! “Is there anything stranger than when Stevens is joined by Roberts and Kennedy in supporting a law requiring photo ID for voting?”
