More Law Facul-Tea

#MoreLawFaculTea1634 A primer for all the incoming 1B’s out there

#MoreLawFaculTea1633 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AM_IR0BeuWBlU8fqei8EITh9aNNjP3mCrMeImrof78c/edit?usp=sharing To save you time here’s the TL;DR ... 1) there has been a substantial increase in the number of people with EAAs. From 9% in 2021 to almost 30% this year. Among final-year Law students, it’s now almost 39% who recieve EEAs. 2) almost every recorded decision when applying for a EAA is an approval. (98.4-99.5% approval rate) 3) extra writing time has become basically synonymous with EAAs. Almost everyone with any form of arrangement this year got additional writing time (96%) 4) there is no evidence that EAAs result in better grades. In fact those with EAAs tend to perform worse than those without. 5) this does not mean that individuals are not abusing the system. There is no evidence for this, similarly, there is no evidence refuting it. 6) the data tells us how students with EAAs actually performed compared with students without EAAs, but it cannot tell us how those EAA students would have performed without their arrangements. It does not prove that EAAs don’t provide an advantage. An individual may still be abusing the system and have it not show, because the counterfactual- how they would have performed but for the arrangement- is not observed in the data. its just not something that general cohort level data can show. If you are going to read the full report everything important is typed in bold. Have fun. Xoxo

#MoreLawFaculTea1632 #MoreLawFaculTea1628 I think the implication they were trying to make was that certain colleges have a culture of pushing students into trying to get adjustments, through their dos, tutors, or even other students. If there’s significantly more than average numbers students at one particular college with adjustments, that suggests that the college is involved, even if indirectly.

#MoreLawFaculTea1631 #MoreLawFaculTea1627 Labour Law is goated. Great lecturers, amazing supervisors (and most colleges get to pick which supervisor through moodle), and easily the most useful subject you will study - literally you and everyone you know will be employed and will need this law. It is heavy, but it all makes sense by the end, and there is a good selection of problem questions and essay questions. It was by far the best paper I took. I cannot recommend it enough.

#MoreLawFaculTea1630 Admin or cpe?? Help!

#MoreLawFaculTea1629 Ho Ho Ho, Santa’s coming early this year, with the gift of statistical analysis. The university has now responded and provided me with the exam access arrangement data for the law tripos since 2020. Analysis incoming.

#MoreLawFaculTea1628 Re- #MoreLawFaculTea1616 ADRC recommends/approves reasonable adjustments (incl. extra time), Colleges have no role in it. do check the facts #MoreLawFaculTea1590 I did my exams at College. It was literally one-on-one invgilation, unsure what you meant by "less strictly invigilated" but thats probably not true.

#MoreLawFaculTea1627 I'm really conflicted between choosing labour or jurisprudence and was wondering if anyone can offer any advice on either xx

#MoreLawFaculTea1626 so... who is doing legal history next year #therealones

#MoreLawFaculTea1625 I have now submitted a series of FOI requests to the law faculty and the University of Cambridge regarding exam arrangements and will get back to you with some data asap. Xx
