Comment:
"Queen Daphyne" is one of my favorite professors at JMU. She gives real life examples in class, extra credit for each test (DO IT), and makes the effort to learn your name and care about you. Homework takes forever, but it boosts your grade, and read every word of the book, because that's what her tests are based on. DON'T FORGET TO DO MINDTAP.

Such a sweet and fun lady, kept us laughing all the time! This class is so easy but you do have to keep up with the reading to know what is up. Do the homework because she will call on you in class at least once.

Comment:
Her contracts, sales and transactions class this semester wasn't terribly difficult, but she just could not teach to save her life. Compounded with her entitled attitude, I just could not see any point to showing up to her class for reasons other than homework collection and quizzes. Tests weren't too hard, but just don't count on learning in class

Comment:
She has a very arrogant vibe about her. the final is extremely hard because she makes it completely cumulative. unlike other professors, the only final exam review she gave was the previous power points that were basically just portions of the text book. Which has nothing to do with the actual hypothetical questions the tests where based on.

Professor Thomas is The 218 professor. She is knowledgeable and understanding. You'll have to read the text and her lectures + PPTs only cover the high points of what you need to know. Don't forget to do the HW. Take her if you can. There's sometimes EC and she is not as stingy with points as many. 218 does warrant some memorization but it's ok.

Really funny and I liked going to class. You really have to read the textbook because she only covers about 25% of the material that you need to know for the tests. Lots of extra credit to bump up your test scores.

She is the best! Makes the class really interesting and is so awesome while doing it. Loved going to class with her. She is a hard grader and her tests are extremely hard if you do not read the textbook and understand the concepts.

Queen Daphyne is a great teacher. She really cares about her students. She sets the class up so that you are pretty much guaranteed a B with minimal work. 4 tests and three video projects given over the semester that count as a test. So she basically gives you a free A for a test. She is a funny lady and one of the better blaw teachers. Take her.

Firstly, I loathe business law, but Dr. Thomas is a solid professor. Most of the lectures were her going over case studies and challenging us to think about what principle of law applies where. Pop quizzes annoyed me. Tests are very difficult so READ READ READ. She also experimented here and there with the honors section. Not a bad choice.

Queen Daphyne is an extremely nice lady, however, if you want to succeed in this class you have to teach yourself everything. You have to read every chapter before the test and really know it. She goes over hypotheticals in class the whole time and doesn't really teach. She will curve tests and give you points for going to office hours.

If you're an athlete, DEFINITELY TAKE HER. She will love you. If you're not, you've got to work hard. Read the book, do the homework (it actually helps get practice for tests), and you have to go to class.

Professor Thomas, or Queen as she likes to be called is an excellent professor. She is very passionate about what she teachers and knows her stuff. Make sure you read the text, or you will be lost when taking exams. There is hw and it takes forever but it is graded on completion. I highly recommend!

Isn't objective in her grading; will change your grade depending on how much she likes you. Don't bother doing the homework if it's for extra credit, you only get 1 point each (class is out of 1000 points), and it takes about 2-3 hours for each one. Tests are hard. I got an A-

If youre a football player....you're basically guaranteed a good grade. This class is hard and you have to keep up with reading the book bc she's ALL over the place in class. Many ppl think she can be unfair at times... Final was 80 T/F questions...

Prof Thomas was my favorite professor this semester. The class isnt easy and the subject matter can be dry at times but an A is possible if you keep up with the reading and take notes on each chapter. Thomas curves and gave generous extra credit. The final was open notes.

Awesome professor, very interesting and helpful. The tests are very hard, but she curves a good deal and gives extra credit. Can't skip class, and it can get boring, but overall very good. The final is online, open book, I got an A on it and an A overall. Take this class.

Comment:
Don't take her. The way the course is laid out is not transparent at all -- what she is going to do from one day to the next is completely unpredictable. Has an ego that can be difficult to deal with. If you READ THE BOOK you will do just fine, probably get an A. But you HAVE to READ. And not just skim the vocab.
