Ok, so I finally watched all 40 minutes of it.

It was slightly staged, but generally speaking, that's what a class is like.  you have 20-30 pages of reading for each class.  Depending on who the teacher is, anywhere from 1-4 people get called on during class and are expected to know the material as thoroughly as John (Mr. D'Ambrisio) knew it for the 20 minutes in which he was the focal point of the video.  Some teachers ask for volunteers, but the majority will just call on you at random.

Some funny behind the scenes things:

First and foremost, I can't stress enough that class is 90 minutes, and that was a 40 minute video.  There was a lot cut out, 4 or 5 people got called that day.

They filmed two separate sections (taught by the same teacher) and cut in footage of the other section.  I could easily tell because of the faces I saw in the scenes, but it was pretty easy to tell because our room was much brighter, almost a washed-out look, and in the other section the room was darker, more yellow-ish. 

While John was answering questions, the guy next to him was grabbing his leg under the table and trying to make him laugh on camera.

The professor sent out an email to the entire class the night before outlining exactly what we'd be talking about, for the sake of making the class run smoothly on camera and specifically said "Don't ask questions about note #3 on page [whatever], and then one kid asked the question.  I'm surprised it made it into the video, but when the kid asked it, if you looked closely, you could see the people around him all kind of hang their heads in embarrassment.

The opening scene with the teacher walking in and setting up was filmed after the class was over.

That was not our normal classroom.  They chose the newest room in the law school to use for the marketing piece.

If you look at the laptop screens, when they pan around the room, you can see Facebook, espn.com, Instant Messenger or some kind of website in every shot.
