Funny guy, makes it easy for you. The class is lecture heavy with alot of real world examples and stories about his personal life. For better or worse, he is one of the most well-known professors at Bentley.

Comment:

Professor Missirian is an interesting guy. He tells the best stories in class, but don't just sit there and laugh. Take good notes. There's only two tests, but both are mostly on classroom notes and very tricky. Read questions carefully! Definitely go to office hours. Missirian responds to emails very fast. Overall, really amazing teacher.

Comment:

Missirian is a living legend. Class is always engaging and interesting, and Missirian describes the law in a very clear way through examples. A 4.0 is very hard but a 3.7 is possible. Take him if you want to know the law. Trust me he will teach you how to be unboxable.

Comment:

Prof. Missirian was not a good teacher in my opinion. He often did not respond to students's emails, questions, or request and did not explain well the materials or did not cover all the materials that he should have. He ended classes usually early without much teaching and he did not seem to care much about students's learning. Very disappointing.

Comment:

He can teach the material and be funny at the same time. Not many professors can accomplish that. You have to show up to class and read the textbook if you want to do well. Exams are true/false, one writing assignment (depending on class average) for extra-credit. He was also forgiving when I was going through some rough patches, which is a major +

Comment:

Prof. Missirian is one of the most amazing professors at Bentley. He goes above and beyond for his students, ensuring that those who come to him for help are given all of the help that they need and more. He inspired me to pursue law after taking the course and helped to get me the resources I need. I plan to take him again in the Fall.

Comment:

His lectures are engaging and interesting. You are graded on 2 tests, all true and false, as well as a final that is true false plus an essay. There is also one paper at the end of the semester which is key to your grade. Very hard to get a 4.0, but 3.7 is doable.

One of the best professors at Bentley. If you take notes during class and go to his office hours, you can easily get a 3.7/4.0. He makes law really interesting with his good jokes, and stories. Would definitely take again if i could.. TAKE HIM!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this class. He makes the lectures really entertaining. If you miss class often, you definitely won't do well on the exams because all questions are based on his lectures. The entire grade is based on 2 exams, all T/F questions and a final which is T/F and an essay. 4.0 is basically impossible, but a 3.3 or 3.7 is attainable.

Great great guy! Classes are fun and interesting. With that said, this was my worst class. I did not do much work so that was nice, but his tests are hard. His test are T/F, but HARD. If you don't know a law perfectly, his questions will be 99% right but the right answer will be false, has to be 100% right, so you should study a lot!

Comment:

He's by far my favorite professor at Bentley, he has a way of explaining things that make them incredibly easy to understand and remember. If you miss his class you probably wont understand the material, but if you go to every class and listen, you'll pass easily and quite possibly learn to love law as well.

Very smart. He knows his stuff for sure. Is a good teacher. Is incredibly specific when grading. Class is way too difficult for what it should be at Bentley. Compared to other GB110 classes this one is ridiculously hard. Avoid him just to save your grade. You will learn a lot if you pay attention but unless you work ur ass off ur grade will suffer.

Great Professor - Interesting lectures. But he is tricky. If you take him for law you need to ignore your heart while taking exams. Because he will tug on the heart strings to make you want to move one way when the answer is the other way.

Avoid at all costs. Worst t/f online tests. Unhelpful. I think he does not genuinely care about his students. You cannot even ask questions in class he will probably ignore you when you raise your hand most of the time.

Skip the average comment below and go to 4/23/2015. Missirian is an incredible professor and his lectures are amazing. This is one of the few classes you will look forward to going to based on his real stories! Class is structured well and if you take notes and focus on what he is trying to trip you on the exam, you will be fine

Really smart guy but horrible class. He claims evry word in a definition is important and yet there is no consistency between what he says and the book definitions. Test questions r unfair, full of grammar and punctuation errors to the point where his sentences r not even english. Don't take. Hard af, no law class at Bentley should be this hard.

I absolutely love Missirian. All of you turd who gave him bad ratings is because you didn't actually pay attention. He gives two 30 T or F exams, and one 60 question final. If you just take notes, listen, and hear his awesome stories, you will do fine. Also just put in around 2 or 3 hours of study per test, and you will be good. Take it.
