Comment:

Professor Bjorke is a decent professor. Shes a firm believer in no laptops/phones in sight. You dont really have homework. Lectures a lot & sometimes get a little boring. She knows the material very well. One great thing about her is that she would give you the exact parts of chapters to study for on exams! Overall, decent class. Nothing fancy.

Comment:

Mrs. Bjorke really cares about what she does. Yes, her class can be boring but they can also be very interesting. Her tests are True and False (which is very hard), multiple choice, and a short answer. Read the textbook and go to class and you will do just fine.

Comment:

She is an okay professor. Her lectures are very boring and you won't learn anything from them. The book teaches me more. You need to be in class because she has pop-up assignments that are worth a majority of your grade. The tests are hard, I recommend studying a week in advance. This is one of my hardest classes at WSU so far.

Comment:

Dr. Bjorke is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is so smart and knows so much and brings it down to an introductory level. Her lectures are really helpful, and showing up is mandatory because she gives points for in-class assignments. Her tests aren't too bad and she makes her class fun with real-life legal examples.

We were her first group teaching this elective to & it was fun. Easy going vibe thro/out the sem. I would recommend taking this Consumer Law class. It was an informative class (& book) b/c these laws affect all of us. Her tests are alot like her other classes, wrote a big research paper & presentation. Still a really fun class. Good BUSA elective

Shes a really good teacher. Read the material before class, she goes fast & doesnt hold your hand throughout the semester, so read & come prepared. She makes law interesting. I never thought I would like the class, and it has become a favorite. Her tests are pretty hard, so study for more than a couple hours. Go to lecture! pop quizzes & EC points

Awesome teacher! she really knows the subject matter and tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests. She offers extra credit and points for just being in class on random days. Would highly recommend taking her

Comment:

She is a great teacher! I wouldn't buy the book, though. If you buy the study guide and sit next to someone in class who has the book (which you rarely use in class anyway) you will be fine. Before the tests she goes through the study guide and crosses out a lot of the information, so students are aware of what information they need to know.

Great professor. Knows what she is teaching and is very clear. It is easy to get extra credit if you attend class and do the assignments in class. As long as you study for the tests, it should be an easy A or B.

Awesome professor! Law can be very confusing, but she tries to explain it in more understandable terms. Uses many real-life examples, as she used to be a lawyer. Offers a lot of ec and full credit on in-class assignments as long as you are present. Study guide was extremely helpful when preparing for the tests. Will definitely take her again!

Awesome professor. She offers a lot of EC, make sure you take it. Tests are straight from the book and study guide. I would reccommend buying the SG it was very helpful. Study, and do the EC and you will receive an A.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks she's so great. She's easier than Gernader, but shes not that easy. I read the chapters and studied a lot for every test, but I could never get better than a C. She's not very friendly either.
