Had him for both Business Law 1 and 2. His exams can be tricky but if you go to class and take notes, many of his questions are similar to the examples he uses in class.

Comment:
I would go to class to better understand the cases, but otherwise he just goes through the chapters in the textbook. Uses some funny examples, especially on his tests. The first two aren't bad, but the non-cumulative final was tough. All multiple choice this semester (Fall 2014). Definitely learned a lot about business law.

Overall, I would give Pollack a good rating. Class attendance is very important to do well. Most of the exam questions come straight from examples he uses in the class. The exams are not very difficult.

Comment:
He's very helpful, but his tests are close to impossible, and he knows this. He tells you up front that the multiple choice questions are choose the "best" answer, meaning two are correct, but one is better. -___-

Intelligent and well-versed - tries to add humor to a dry subject - tests have questions that come out of left field - oral case studies all semester!

hes a good professor. explains things well, good class examples, and tries to make a little humor while covering an extremely boring topic. Better than other law prof.

Alot of material is covered. Lecture is pretty boring. Be sure to read. Topics that are barely touched upon in class will appear on exams.

Comment:
Lectures are pointless. Memorize the book. Final is hard, and its not cumulative!!! Seems like a nice guy, but he talks way too much. The material could be covered in half the time it takes for him to cover it.

Very unclear at times. Seems like he's a nice man but some questions on the test come from no where. Pretty easy B, but hard to get an A.

Comment:
Can get really off topic and boring. Tries to be funny sometimes but really isn't. His exams are relatively fair, but can be tricky because there isn't always a clear cut answer. Go to class to listen to cases and take some notes. Not too bad.
