With this enhanced focus on skills, we are in the process of producing teaching materials to enhance both the current skills courses as well as skills components for doctrinal courses. We also will connect with other colleagues in the field to include their new NextGen focused innovative simulations and teaching aids so that we can all enhance our teaching to best prepare our students for the NextGen bar exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"tb-heading\" data-toolset-blocks-heading=\"3a94a5f5ac99f0c5642cb0af3ba9a028\" data-last-update=\"1.4\">NextGen Information Assessments <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we all are still learning about the format and questions in the NextGen Bar Exam, one way to approach assessments is to revise current questions into ones that capture the integrated, skills focus of the NextGen Bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"post_first wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/dri-skills-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1003\/2024\/12\/NextGen-Style-MPT-Assignment-Instructions-and-Master-Document-with-Answers.pdf\">NextGen-Style MPT Assignment (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/dri-skills-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1003\/2024\/12\/In-Re-Peterson-Engineering-Consultants-MPT.pdf\">MPT-2: In re Peterson Engineering Consultants (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/dri-skills-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1003\/2024\/12\/In-Re-Peterson-Engineering-Consultants-Point-Sheet.pdf\">MPT-2: In re Peterson Engineering Consultants &#8211; Point Sheet (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/dri-skills-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1003\/2024\/12\/Rubric-PEC-Assignment.pdf\">Peterson Engineering Consultants Assignment Rubric (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:2rem\">NextGen Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This multi-phase exercise, designed by Jim Coben, is an end of first semester skills activity to reinforce key concepts for the NextGen Bar Exam.

There is also a NextGen Bar Exam Integrated Question Set based on the Master File.
