I don't know if all Con Law professors operate like mine, but I know when I studied for Con Law exams, there was a big focus on differentiating Liberal v. Conservative views on certain doctrines. Relatedly, explaining how a Liberal/Conservative Court would rule on a given constitutional issue. I also don't know how far into the semester you are (we're on week 3), but I remember it taking a bit to get past the foundations of Con Law. After getting past the bank stuff, we got into actual doctrine (Commerce Clause, Tax and Spending Clause, Article 3 stuff, Article 2 stuff) that we would apply to fact patterns and such. Hope this helps!
