Academic mode
Student and faculty profiles
Personalise Academic Mode around the way you study, teach, assess, and research
Your academic profile supplies context to Study Tools so you do not have to re-enter the same background in every session. Open Settings → Student Profile or Settings → Faculty Profile after enabling Academic Mode.
Student profile#
Add only the context that helps your work:
- About you — law school, year, bar jurisdiction, target bar date, and preparation course.
- Learning style — choose a Socratic approach that pushes back on weak reasoning or an explanation-first approach followed by questions.
- Subjects — record strong, weak, and frequently avoided subjects.
- Current classes — add course names, exam formats, and syllabus progress for cold-call preparation, outlines, and exam analysis.
- Bar preparation — identify weaker objective and essay subjects and your available study time.
- Outline preferences — choose the format and level of detail you want Outline Builder to follow.
Faculty profile#
Faculty can tailor Academic Mode with:
- Institution, department, academic title, primary jurisdiction, and office hours.
- Courses taught, teaching style, and assessment formats.
- Research interests and publication areas.
- Casebooks, syllabi, current projects, and other source context.
Changing roles#
Open Settings, select the role shown beneath Academic Mode, and choose the other profile. Your existing academic work remains available; the selected profile changes the context used for future academic sessions.
Keep the profile useful#
Update classes and assessment formats at the start of a term. Review weaker subjects and available study time as exams approach. For faculty, refresh course and research context when teaching assignments or projects change.
Profile details guide personalisation but do not replace the source material attached to a session. Add the relevant judgment, notes, syllabus, or past paper when accuracy depends on it.
