Cool dude, lots of humorous anecdotes in class. If you make sure to know book definitions for his tests and take decent notes, you will be fine...

Dr. Sparks is a lot of fun and he makes the material click. He practiced law for a number of years, so he is generally able to incorporate examples from the real world into his lectures, which is cool.

Comment:

Dr. Sparks the man. He has a dry sense of humor, but is hilarious at the same time. He will answer any question you have about the material, and loves to help his students do well in his class. He uses the Socratic method in the class, which really makes the discussion of the cases worth coming to class. Great class!

What? A self-impressed individual. Please spend more time preparing for class. The law is not static.

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Sparks! His dry sense of humor cracked me up, but I also learned a ton. It's not an easy class, but it's worth it.

Class is very interesting and you learn the stuff really well. I've greatly enjoyed having him. As far as the person who made the negative comments, he doesn't even teach that class, what's your problem?
