Comment:

He is an amazing teacher. I actually learned a lot. His class is 4 exams and 6 surprise quizzes. No hw. He gives you all of the past exams for you to study from. STUDY THOSE PAST EXAMS! Go to his office hours if you need help. His class is beyond easy if you actually put effort and try you will pass. You don't need the book at all. No extra credit.

grade only based on 4 exams and 6 surprise quizzes. exams are meant to trick you and he gives quizzes when attendance is low. makes weird jokes to get your attention. dont buy book. study lecture BEFORE class, take notes during, and review weekly, you'll pass. cumulative final so just learn it when he goes over it, don't wait until week of exam.

Don't be fooled by the good reviews. He is extremely rude and makes his exams very difficult. He does not explain concepts very well and makes fun of you for not understanding the material.

Comment:

Professor Smith is a great lecturer. He makes material that could be dry, entertaining with examples from his professional experiences in law. This class is graded solely on 3 tests and pop quizzes. He provides you with the lecture slides and practice tests, all you need to do is study and ask him for clarification to pass. Don't need the textbook.

Comment:

This class is an easy A, he makes it so that you can miss a significant amount of points and still get an A. As long as you are attending class for the quizzes and averaging an 80%-85% every test you'll have an A in the course. I got an A in the course without the curve even! STUDY THE POWERPOINTS!

Comment:

I loved Smith and his lectures. He makes a very boring subject very intersting and understandable. There is only 3 exams and one final, and also 4 pop quizes to encourage you to come to class. You don't need the textbook because everything that was on the exam was on the powerpoints, got an A without a textbook. Highly recommend Smith!

3 exams, 4 pop quizzes &cumulative final. His exams are not the easiest but tests how well you know the subject. Lectures are super interesting! To the recent reviews begging to change the grading scale when he already kindly adjusted it.. you just need to study smart not just study hard. Textbook not needed. Best advice is to copy all examples!

Comment:

I swear, me and my "study buddy" group have studied so hard for ALL OF THE EXAMS that even we stayed up until at least midnight to prepare SO HARD for all of the exams. However my group only received 100-107 out of 190 points. This is frustrating. It's the last lower-division business class we need to pass and take our concentration classes soon!

Professor Smith, Please Curve The Grading Scale So That We Can Pass. You Realize That We Are All Hard Workers So We Deserve A Passing Grade Of A C Or Better! Thank You, Beloved Teacher!

Comment:

Theres a lot of material for business law and Prof. Smith does a good job at lecturing. Hes definitely knowledgeable about law and made it as organized as possible. This class isnt easy but its business law so there is a lot important info. The tests are all scenarios and his practice exams help to give an idea of what hell put on the exams.

Half of the entire class is going to fail (lower than 70% average on all tests/quizzes) this semester, and I'm telling you that this is not going to be good news. If you're reading this, Professor Smith, I protest that you alter the traditional grading scale to a curved grading scale (C 40%, B 60%, A 80%) after finals, please! So we can pass!

Comment:

Spends each lecture going off on tangents and borderline inappropriate comments. Writes his own tests and PowerPoints that are riddled with grammatical errors. Just show up to class for the 4 pop quizzes and learn the material yourself from PowerPoints and reading.

Failed this course with another professor. Throughout the semester he said he would never curve grades, but he rounded off my 79% to a B. He was easier than my other professor who seemed to not teach. Plus his example stories are fun to hear.

Comment:

Thought this class would be a lot easier than it is tbh. He is a good professor though I would say. The only thing is he goes off topic so much. He is entertaining to listen to with his heavy sarcasm but I would lose track of the lecture due to it. The tests are difficult make sure you study well for them. He gives 4 pop quizes so make sure you go!

Comment:

By far the best law professor at CSUF. All law classes at CSUF are difficult, but professor Smith makes law really applicable and realistic. All law exams at CSUF are difficult. If Smith is teaching any law classes at CSUF besides 445, take him. Attend his office hours and you should do fine in any of his classes.

Comment:

Professor Smith is a good professor. Attend his office hours. Gives out 10 written assignments and only grades 1 of them. Look over the study guide, it is a helpful tool. Law is considered a difficult subject. Out of all the law professors at CSUF, Professor Smith is the least annoying compared to the rest of the faculty who teaches law.

Comment:

write down all of the examples he gives in class, even if they sound too corny. those are on the exams. He doesn't assign homework so you have very little wiggle room to mess up on test, which are not easy. The reason he rubbed me the wrong way is for his constant racist jokes which were more insulting than funny.

Tests are of moderate difficulty but Smith is hilarious. Pop quizzes are easy points. Just read the slides to past the tests. Def. would take Smith again in another class if I attend this school again.
