Need help prepping for exams? Professor Beane encourages breezeway discussions
Professor Dorothea Beane met with students to help them prepare for their civil procedure exam in an unusual setting this week.
Professor Dorothea Beane.
On a warm Wednesday afternoon, Professor Beane met with more than a dozen students in the breezeway outside the Sebring Courtroom. The students peppered her with questions to prepare for her exam.
Professor Beane explained that the breezeway setting provides a relaxed, approachable atmosphere where students can freely ask questions. Beane, who has taught at Stetson for more than two decades, said that crossing the threshold of a professor’s office can be intimidating to some students, and the outdoor setting offers a neutral alternative where discussions can take place.
She offered “office hours” to students daily during exam week in her outdoor office, which has become a popular spot for dynamic legal discussions.
