I know I'm the annoying student that goes to office hours to bother my oh-so-busy law profs from their momentous, life-changing legal research. But it was pretty tough to take Prof. Contract's criticism that my questions are "too vague" and sound like I haven't "thought about the material." In other words, he thinks my questions are dumb and show no thought. I'm used to profs who enjoy teaching and warmly comfort us by saying there are no dumb questions.
Goodness, I graduated from the same elite undergrad Prof. Contracts came from. I know for a fact that I'm better than what he perceives me to be. But how do I convey that? How do I rephrase my questions to sound intelligent? Or is this airhead really me? I admit, I'm a self-conscious, insecure student who needs superficial validation. Even a fake check and chocolate cake prize for writing the funniest demand letter from my LWR TA was enough to make me happy that night. It compensated somewhat for the unhappy grade I got in the LWR memo.
