Spurgeon's online session is not too bad. You just have to be committed to take his course which is known for having a pretty lengthy video lectures and exams with critical thinking.

Listen to his lectures and take notes. He points out specific things that may be on quiz/test. His notes are good to study for the test. He gives good real case examples a lot of ones he was a part of so this makes the lectures very interesting.

Great professor. There are two hour-long lectures that are necessary to listen to each week to pass the quizzes. Questions come straight from the lectures and notes. The lectures are super interesting so the hour goes by quickly.

Great lectures, pay attention to the small stuff, it will be on the quiz. You won't know your final grade until the last exam. Do the weekly work, study for the exams and you will be fine. He is a good lecturer.

1 homework assignment a week and all the answers are in the notes. There are 2, 1 hour lectures that you HAVE to watch each week to do well on the quizzes right after. I tried skipping a lecture once and went straight to the quiz and failed it. Ever since, I watch the lectures from start to finish and have gotten nothing less than 8/10. Great prof.

I look forward to his lectures because I find the subject interesting. He constantly brings in real experiences that he has had as an attorney. My advise is don't skip the video lectures as the quiz after each one is very specific to what he has said and take very good detailed notes for the tests. Pay attention and it'll be an easy A.

Mr. Spurgeon is one of my favorite professors at WSU. All online, 2 lectures a week that you have to listen too and take good notes. Both lectures are each about an hour long. He is very clear about what he wants from you and as long as you do the work then you'll pass his class. No textbook.

Very interesting class. Professor is extremely clear. Be prepared to watch two lectures each week, usually around an hour each, as well as an easy assignment and two short quizzes after the videos. Every point counts in this class. Exams are very difficult and will really make you think, so it is important that you take good notes and prepare.

Best professor at WSU. Extremely interesting lectures and even though it's an online course, he makes it as much like a real class as possible. I actually looked forward to listening to the lectures and doing the work for this class. As long as you watch the videos, you will get a fine grade.

Lectures are awesome. I had evening class after work when it's usually a bit more difficult to focus, but he kept it interesting. Great in-class discussions. No textbook either! He writes his own notes - much better reading. Had him in undergrad also.

The best professor I've ever had. His experience really shines through in the way he creates his custom materials and lectures for class. I found tests and quizzes to be difficult, as the choices all seem viable. Lectures are always interesting and thought provoking. You will gain a new perspective on the world and law in general. Great class.

He has lots of experience in law which means he has a lot of stories to tell and they help keep the lectures interesting. Quizzes and tests are super easy as long as you take good notes and actually listen to the lectures. Unlimited takes on the weekly assignments (free points.) Learned a ton from this class and I felt like all of it was relevant

Larry Spurgeon is a very intelligent professor. Although his Business Law class was online, it was significantly better than other online classes because you can listen to him talk and follow along with the power point at the same time. It's like being in class. He is also a very helpful teacher. Recommend him.

AWESOME!! Could not ask for a nicer, more intelligent professor. He genuinely cares about the students and wants everyone to do well. He will further explain anything that you don't understand (which is very little), and is just a great guy. Also has awesome stories and makes you want to be a lawyer. Take as many classes as you can from him!

He is an Awesome teacher! Very Helpful & nice. He made me SO interested in this topic. He expects you to pay attention in class. (If you need to text or use a computer do it in the hall.) 10 quizzes with lowest score dropped. 3 tests (MC, TF, & fill-in-the-blank.) Do not need the book. Love this teacher.
