After an hour of me explaining to the tuition student how to approach hypothetical questions, complete with a full sample answer written by me:
Me : I repeat again. For hypothetical questions, you need to deal with the Issue, Rule, Application and Conclusion. You repeat this for every single legal issue in the question until there are no more legal issues. Like the example I just wrote. Now, what is the first thing you need to deal with in this hypothetical question?
3 minutes elapses...
Student: I thinking.
Me: Think faster.
Student: I don't know where to write.
Me: Brudder, write on paper. Where you want to write?
Student: I need to absorb.
Me: Frog! The first thing is the issue. The approach is issue, rule, application, conclusion. It's like being a factory worker you know. You go to a factory and you are told to press buttons I R A C repeatedly. So you press I R A C press I R A C press press press press press press until you cannot press anymore. Then you go home. What's so difficult?
