Comment:

VERY hard class, but you learn so much that's relevant for everyday life. She is super willing to help people outside of class. There's 4 tests and one paper, and they're all pretty hard, but if you listen to her lectures (no powerpoint - she just talks), and study those, you should be fine

Comment:

I had Boone for Biz 2000. I didn't read the book except to read the examples it provided in the chapters. She pulls directly from those examples for the test. Other than that, just study the notes. Interesting material, but you must pay attention to the lecture! She is very intelligent and knows a lot of information! Cool lady.

Comment:

While this professor enjoys teaching at SLU, she is a very poor professor. Her methods of teaching are not beneficial to students and if you basically want to teach yourself the class, I wouldn't recommend. Her tests are hard and although I dedicated a lot of time to studying, I still didn't receive the grade to show for that.

Comment:

it's basically a law class. Tests are entirely unpractical application situations, no terms and definition. Used examples straight from the lecture on the essay with key terms and she gave me a 25%. She doesn't try to relate the material to people's specific fields. Especially in my 8 am class, she doesn't seem like she wants to be there.

Comment:

She is very nice and clearly loves her job teaching law at SLU, however I did not agree with her teaching method. With a class as heavily designed on definable concepts like this one, she would not write definitions. She loves talking about law, but not very good at teaching it in a way that students fully understand

Professor Boone is awesome, go to her office hours to get to know her. If you are willing to study and take detailed notes in lectures you will do fine. Follow her instructions on the exams and papers. Do the extra credit service learning because it counts for a test grade. I learned a ton from this class, it challenged me but was worth it.

Comment:

Boone's classes are boring but she provides examples that make it easier for students to understand. I never looked forward to this class, but I didn't hate it. I guess in retrospect, I did learn quite a bit. If you study for the tests, you'll do fine. Meh.

Even if you show up everyday to her 8AM, she won't remember you. She will not round up your grade. Easy paper but then 4 or so tests that will most likely break your grade. However, her course always had interesting cases

Tough, but good teacher. Her lectures can be long, so pay attention and check your notes with someone else's. Make sure to read the book and take good notes. Study by making sure you understand what is said and done. Exams are tricky and quite difficult. Go to office hours post exam to figure out what you got wrong.

Professor Boone is one of the best teachers at SLU. She expects a lot out of her students, but at the end you will find that you learned a lot in her class. I highly recommend!

She was my favorite teacher while attending SLU. Go to class and take notes in order to pass. Don't buy book. Great sense of humor.

Comment:

Took Boone for Biz Law 1 & 2. Incredibly knowledgeable professor, who cares about her students understanding the lecture/material. She is very funny/sarcastic. Her style is straight lecture - no powerpoints, no written notes on the board - don't let that deter you. Her tests can be difficult - lots of theory application, which is good but hard!

One of the best courses I have taken. Don't second guess taking this course. If you're willing to put the effort in, you will find yourself learning more than you could ever imagine in such a short period and will do well. Highly recommend taking this course.

Comment:

She is a working patent and trademark attorney, so she is very knowledgeable. Does a good job explaining the material to people who have no previous knowledge of it. Lectures can get dull at times, but she does her best to keep people intersted by telling many examples. There are 4 tests that are tough but no cumulative final, and one 6 page paper.

Comment:

I came into this class dreading it. I had no interest in anything that had to do with law. Now that the semester is over I'm planning on taking another one of her classes. It's a tough class but she makes it extremely interesting and you learn a lot. Ran into an alumni who had taken her years ago and he even remembered how great a teacher she was.

Comment:

This was one of the best classes I've taken at SLU. Went in with little interest and ended up learning lots of useful info. If you're willing to attend every class and take good notes (which is easy since her lectures are so engaging), chances are that you'll do well and enjoy the class. Everything was straightforward; no busy work.

Comment:

Best professor I've ever had. She knows her stuff. You must attend class every day because it is a lecture based class. If you can do the service learning project. Tests are hard but on the papers she just gives out A's. I would take her again any day! Book is unnecessary if you go to class.

She is the sweetest most helpful teacher ever! Do the service learning project (don't be intimidated, paper is an easy A). Read her example papers, go to office hours to look at old exams so you can familiarize yourself with her testing style (exams can be challenging). Learned a lot, worked hard for an A. Best law class!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

to quibble with someone earlier... Boone is not a patent lawyer, she is a trademark lawyer. and her questions are not badly worded, they just make you think.

Comment:

This subject was dry for me already. This class requires you to listen the whole period so go to every class if you want to get this material. If you're interested in the content of this course, you'll be fine. If you're not, you better become its number 1 fan. If you're looking for an easy grade, please avoid her.
