Amazing Prof. Teachers the material to his students and actually cares about the material unlike so many other profs. Such a great teacher and awesome to learn from. Be ready to take notes every class, but they are all very useful. Answers questions perfectly. If you do not understand something he will explain it until you understand it. The best.

The best professor I have ever had! He is so funny and gives amazing examples and makes things really easy to understand. He also will tell you how important it is to do the weekly reading so you dont waste time on a section that is pointless.

Good humour to keep his students engaged. Not much feedback, though. I wish there was on-line practice material for his class, but he is old-school and not computer-savvy. A tad disorganized, but he is clear about what is important to study.

Gerry is my favourite professor at the university, hands down. Very enthusiastic and passionate about his work and keeps you entertained throughout every lecture. Really smart guy always making me laugh, loved his demeanour. The class itself requires heavy studying as law is no easy endeavour, but Gerry made it super fun. Thank you Gerry.

He's an excellent professor and is able to keep his lectures somewhat interesting and fun. He knows the stuff well (practicing lawyer) and is straightforward about everything. This helps when it comes to the quiz, midterm, and final.

Comment:

Gerry's entertaining lectures are interesting and he uses humour to connect class content with real-life scenarios. You only have to study what he writes on the board, and if you do, you will be well prepared for the quiz and exams (so don't skip). I primarily studied with flashcards containing definitions and examples and I ended up doing well.

Comment:

One of my favourite profs I've had at UFV! The class is all lecture, but Gerry knows exactly what he's talking about and makes his lectures funny and engaging. As long as you attend every class and take diligent notes it's fairly easy. I recommend voice recording the lectures to go back and review before exams, as they are all written.

Comment:

Gerry has taught this course about 1 million times and you can tell. He very clearly outlines what you need to know, gets through it efficiently and with some humour. Take notes in class and don't skip, your grade relies on the tests which are based on what he writes on the board. Make up situations to remember laws.

Comment:

Gerry is a fantastic professor. His lectures are not only hilarious but completely relevant and relatable. If you don't show up to class and don't take notes, you will not pass. This is one of the best courses I have taken at UFV. Gerry has been teaching this course for 20 years plus and recite any part of his course verbatim.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. He is one of the only teachers I have had that makes all 3 hours interesting and bearable. His stories are hilarious and help when it comes to studying. All tests are written, but if you study, they shouldnt be hard. The midterm is the hardest thing you will do in the course. Overall, amazing teacher!

Comment:

Gerry is the most amazing professor. He is hilarious and his stories that he tells in class really help when it comes to studying/writing tests. He makes the class go by quickly and is approachable. Tests are hard, so study for them, and read the chapters he tells you to. Sad to be out of his class!

Comment:

One of the best Business Professors at UFV hands down. I took this as an evening class (I typically fall asleep during these ones) and Gerry made the long lectures engaging. Read the book, study moderately and you should be able to get an easy A. He has some of the most hilarious yet relevant stories.

Best prof. Takes a potentially boring class and makes it awesome. Tests are based only on in-class material. If you study hard you can really nail them. Not much homework, readings are mostly optional. Seriously, take this guy if you can.

By far the best prof I have ever had. Tests are hard but if you study enough you will do well. I would take the class again just to listen to his lectures. You're the man Gerald.
