Megan Needham’s LSAT Prep Course (May-July 2021) Instructor: Megan Woodhouse Needham, J.D., [megan.m.needham@gmail.com](megan.m.needham@gmail.com), Bio: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-woodhouse-needham-10859315/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-woodhouse-needham-10859315/) Meeting Times: This is a fully online course. Recorded videos will be posted in Google Drive for you to complete before our live meetings. The live meetings will primarily be opportunities for students to ask questions about the week’s assignments. They are highly recommended, but not required. I encourage you to attend at least one, if not both, of the weekly live meetings (orthe full two-hour meeting during the summer months) . Zoom meetings will be held at the following times: - May 3rd-May 28th, Mondays 4-5 p.m. (PDT) and Wednesdays 6-7 p.m. (PDT) - Break May 31st-June 11th - June 15th-July 6th, Tuesdays 5-7 p.m. (PDT) Course Goals: This course will help you prepare for and improve your score on the Law School Admissions Test by teaching the skills required to correctly answer reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and analytical reasoning questions. Teaching methods will emphasize how the skills tested on the LSAT are used in law school and legal practice. This course is designed to be small so that each student can receive personalized attention. We will follow the outline in the syllabus, but we also have the flexibility to adapt and cover certain topics in more detail depending on student questions. I am on your team, and my goal is to help you perform your absolute best on the LSAT. My most dedicated students continue to study for the LSAT after taking this course (or any other course) . LSAT prep courses generally serve as an introduction to the LSAT that help you home in on the skills you need to improve. The advantage of this small, personalized course is that I can help you identify areas you need to work on more and then provide you with additional tools to achieve your goals. Required Texts: The Official LSAT SuperPrep II: The Champion of LSAT Preparation (Check here for purchasing options: [https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-prep/prep-books-ebooks](https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-prep/prep-books-ebooks)) Official LSAT Prep Plus (purchase here through LSAC: [https://www.lsac.org/lsat/prep](https://www.lsac.org/lsat/prep)). You will create a Law Hub account and this one-year plan (cost $99) will give you access to online versions of over 90 previous LSAT exams. These exams will be the source for the vast majority of the assignments for this course. LSAC has changed its licensing structure to require all LSAT prep course students working with any company purchase this service.
