Comment:

He writes his own textbooks. Please read all pages & remember all quotes and who said them as he will be asking questions like this on his quizzes. You are graded on 3 quizzes, 2 midterms and a final-which is 5 essays. Makes you do 2-5 case briefs a week but does not grades them. Take notes and write anything you know in your essays.

Comment:

If you are a Law And Justice Major i reccommend taking him one of the brightest and most experienced professor i've met my college tenure. Pay attention in class and take notes all of the information you need is in his books. A very tough grader but, as long as you study you should be fine. Yes he caused me stress this semester but great experience

Comment:

I had Davey for Law & Human Rights last year and just had him for Senior Seminar (by choice). LHR has case studies (easy), 2 midterms and 3 quizzes. But SrSem was only two tests and a paper that he didn't put much emphasis on. If you take notes exactly how he says them in class and give as much of that back to him on the tests, you're golden.

Davey is awesome!!!! I recommend him to everyone who has to take Law and Human Rights. I love his lectures. You MUST read his book. He literally quotes stuff straight from his book. ALL BLUE BOOK TESTS. If you pay attention you will pass. He is very smart and love what he has to say. If you have the opportunity, definitely take him

Comment:

He's one of the hardest professors I have ever had at the two schools I attended. I did not pass his class but he will teach you what you need to learn. He made the law interesting to learn and his tests are simple if you understand the material. He doesn't change the style of how he tests you so after the first see what questions he asks.

Comment:

The only problem that I had after taking Law and Human Rights with Dr. Davey was the feeling that most of my professors did not compare to his quality of teaching. Prepare before each class, pay attention, and review material before quizzes and exams. It doesn't take hours upon hours. If you can do those three things, you'll do well.

Comment:

Lectures the whole entire course. He doesn't create a power point and rarely writes on the board. So you need to be fully attentive at all times. He gives only blue book tests which normally is eh but he's a very hard grader. If you take this course expect to work your ass off and not even do that well tbh

Comment:

This professor does not care about students at all. His classes are lecture heavy and there's lots of homework. I would not refer anyone to take his class. As he showed me from the beginning that he does not care whether his students understand the material or not. He is not accessible after the class. I wouldn't take his class if it were free!

Comment:

He is, by far, the best professor I have had yet. Also, he is the most difficult. This is because he expects the most out of every student. He is a fountain of information and I loved sitting through his lectures. I found that three hours flew by when listening to him. Please take him, you will not regret it in the end if you are a hard worker.

Class is very challenging, but do not avoid him because of this. He is extremely smart and interesting. Definitely read the book because he wrote it. If you do this, and pay attention in class, you will succeed. The tests are mostly essays, but he basically tells you what he wants you to write.

TAKE THIS CLASS! Don't run away from Davey by taking this class with a different prof. He is the man. Very witty and honestly the smartest prof I've had in my four years of college. Regurgitate what he says in class on the essay tests and you will do well. He wrote the book; READ it SEVERAL times and quote him in your essays and you'll be solid.

Terrible professor, he grades ridiculously hard and doesn't care whether or not the whole class is failing. Brags about kids that have had to take his class three times to pass. If you don't have to take this class don't do it.

Comment:

Hands down, one of the best I have ever learned from. Actually expects you to be literate, able to figure things out, and well be actual college material. It's not hard if you do the reading and the work and comprehend it. The people who say he is just too hard and difficult are lazy, stupid, and should not even be in school.

I took this class in Spring 2013. I did horrendous on my first quiz but only because I was extremely unprepared. If you put the work in and listen, the class is easier than everyone whines about. Take notes, listen, read the materials and you will do fine. It is a 400 level course, I guess people come unprepared!

Really tough class, everything is based on a curve in the end. Do what he says and you should pas, takes a lot of work to do this though. He wrote the book for the class so you really need to read it and know it. Hardest class I have ever taken.

Davey will push you to your limit. It is a upper level course, and you should expect work from it. Do not take the class lightly. He is a very smart man, hard to talk to sometimes, but make yourself known and show you care/try, and he will notice. You basically get a F or an A in the class. I recommend it, I learned a lot.
