How to make use of your NCA notes

on


Here's a tip regarding the use of notes, specifically related to administrative law. There are various versions of notes available, especially for administrative law, but I'd like to offer some advice on using these materials, including my own.

  1. For certain courses like admin law, the syllabus aligns with how the examiners want your answers structured. Therefore, be cautious when using notes from students who took the course at a Canadian law school. The content may not be incorrect, but the organization of the notes could confuse you during the exam. Additionally, using cases that the examiner is unfamiliar with poses a risk.


  3. Avoid bringing in multiple sets of notes created by different people into the exam. This will only lead to confusion. You can use various people's notes to compile your own comprehensive set, but having more sets than necessary during the exam is not advisable. Time is limited, and efficiency is key during these exams.



  5. The best approach is to create your own notes for the exams. Allocate at least 4 weeks to prepare your notes. If you opt to purchase notes from someone else, ensure you receive numerous references. Be cautious when purchasing notes from unknown sources; red flags should be raised if you're uncertain about the author's credibility.

In my classes, many students have brought notes they bought elsewhere. In some cases, these notes were incomplete, and in others, they were outright inaccurate. If you decide to purchase notes, seeking the cheapest option might end up costing you more in the long run.
