Let's conduct a thought experiment. "If someone you loved were entering as a 1L in September of 2008, how would you help that person do better than you did?"

>		You empathize with a professor by paraphrasing, into your own words, his chosen language -- the syllabus and lecture -- the "primary sources". You define how your peers empathize with a professor by paraphrasing, into your own words, their own paraphrases of the primary sources -- the language of your study group (present classmates) or multiple G-drive outlines (past classmates) -- the "secondary sources."
 LESSON 1: DO NOT attempt to empathize with the professor privately; empathy is a relative term, a social construct, a function of the curve. Define a student empathizing with the professor in terms of how your peers empathize with your professor. All your learning is from your peers.
