Be sure to do the homework and practice IRAC format. He does give examples to study with for each exam. Slower to respond to E-mails than I would have preferred (especially for an online class).

Decent amount of work but it is manageable, He has 3 tests and drops one of them, plus a fourth test that you cant drop and is semi-cumulative and all multiple choice, His lectures are interesting and I enjoyed his class.

hes a great guy, teaches the material well, however, there is a workkk load.. i mean work load. hw is due by midnight, he gives u about half a day to a full day to do it. tests are insanelyyyyy hard, even if you study, you will not do as you expect. he does allow you to drop one exam grade usually the lowest. this class felt like a 5 units class.

Comment:

The class seemed intimidating at first, but as it went along it was definitely manageable. There is a lot of information to learn but at least it is interesting. He is not the easiest grader so you'll have to put effort in every assignment in order to get a good grade.

Comment:

Law is a tough course. Prof Waldon cares about the success of his students and makes, what could be a very boring subject, interesting, applicable, and understandable. He demands good work and on-time assignments, but I took a hybrid class and attendance isn't mandatory, however I highly recommend it. Great person and great teacher as well.

Comment:

Tests are essay questions. Given that the teacher is an expert in international business, it's hard to please him with your answers. I can honestly say that his expertise and knowledge is great, but a bit much when trying to teach a beginners course in international business. He didn't work with me on my overall grade. I was 15 points away from a C

Comment:

It is very difficult to get a good grade in his class. He doesn't respond to emails very often and does not make the tests easy at all. He lectures on things that are not on the exam. If you are taking his hybrid class be ready to get a C. Very difficult professor and would not recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

If you are expecting an instructor that will communicate with you I'd go elsewhere. He primarily lectures off power points that we aren't allowed to have (different publisher) so you have no form of studying. Tests are long for amount of time given. Website you have to pay for hardly works and he doesn't offer any help troubleshooting.

He's a great guy, however doesn't keep grades up to date and doesn't respond to emails. I understand he teaches a ton of classes, but he has time to post homeworks, but not grades. What is nice though, is he posts lectures on Blackboard. Take his class at your own risk!

Hard but great teacher. Demanding but very professional. No nonsense teacher if you are there to learn he is in your corner and pushing you to succeed. You follow his syllabus you will get it, if you don't you will be lost the entire semester. Ask questions, take notes, do all the required work, attend each class, get help from him if you need.

Horrible teacher!! this class has absolutely zero communication between teacher and student. He teaches over like 5 classes so grades always come in late. everything including tests are in class on the computer so it feels like an online class. Everything IRAC format but does not teach IRAC and everything besides tests is full or 0 credit.

I don't know why these ratings are so high. He was a horrible teacher. He makes it impossible to keep up with the material He rambles for 3-4 days wasting time on the syllabus then come test time the last three chapters your on your own. Each test was about 10 chapters and only an hour to finish more than half the class rushed threw it!

Comment:

Do not take this class hybrid or online! The homework, quizzes and supplements is far more work than in any other class. He wants IRAC for all homework but the text books asks for general answer's so to figure out the IRAQ can sometimes be challenging and long. This class should be 5 units with all the homework he gives out.
