Comment:

She weeds out the weak in the first 2 weeks with a harsh persona but eventually makes it worth your while. Gives "Mcevoy dollars" which is about participation and gets added onto your final grade. Also has jeopardy before midterm and final which can add 10 total points onto final grade. 1 midterm, 1 take-home final and 1 final paper on a book.

Comment:

Has been teaching law for many years and definitely knows what she's talking about. Grades are made up of either 1 midterm and a final paper, or 1 midterm and 2 papers. Make sure you start studying for the midterm as soon as possible. Lectures were fun and she has a great sense of humor. Attendance is required but its worth it to attend.

She is witty, dry sense of humor and keeps the classroom alive!!! Attendance is big but it is well worth going because the lectures are very conversational, interesting, and always bring out many laughs. Totally worth taking her

Comment:

McEvoy is very intimidating when you first get into the class, but she is great. She has a dry sense of humor and is willing to clarify any questions you may have. She's been doing this for a long time and definitely likes to do it her way, but go to class and participate and youll be fine. 1 midterm, 2 papers.

Comment:

Super dry sense of humor, but she's hilarious. Go to every class, participate at least once each time, and you'll get a B doing maybe 3 hours of work all semester. This lady is awesome.

Comment:

Really funny teacher. Gets down to business, but recites ridiculous law cases. Only 2 grades are class participation (40%) and final paper (60%). I have not received my paper, so I hope my grade does not change my feelings about her!!

Comment:

Don't take her. Waste of time class that ignores the entire ethics component in favor of the law component. Takes forever to grade your final paper, and gives everyone a B regardless. Ruined my 4.0.

Comment:

Shar is such a funny person..this is a must take if you are a CPA candidate. Attendance is mandatory, but it is well worth it. I have more fun in this class than in any of my other classes. We debate ridiculous law cases and she says the funniest things. You will probably get a 70 on the midterm, but participation earns you points on your final avg

Comment:

had her 3 times would take again, ended the sem. with over 20 extra pionts to my final grade meaning that i could have failed the final and the midterm and still pulled an a. I spent all of 3 hours outside the class each sem. Got all A, and learned a lot of relevent info. She also knows a lot, so if you have any leagel questions shes got answers.

Comment:

Extremely anal...she will not except typed papers!!! Everything has to be handwritten in blue books for her to even look at it. Not a hard class but just annoying. However, she does show up to every class with a FRESH shape up!

The best professors I've ever had at Fairfield. The class is half dictation then half discussion. Midterm, Paper, and Final. Extra Credit points. She is fair and lacks favoritism. Take her if you get a chance, absolutely wonderful!!!

The worst professor in the business school. She is completely unprofessional, and utterly boring. I would recommend avoiding her classes at all costs.

I thought she was really fair on her exams. I liked not having to do readings, just make sure and take really good notes. I'm taking her again, because she made law more interesting than I thought it would be.

Comment:

Covers lots of material (she is an attorney and a Ph.D.). She reads from notes but only because she is being thorough. She breaks up the reading with legal cases, videos and 2 jeopardy games (to aid in studying). You will learn a lot. I loved this course!!

I don't know what you all are talking about - McEvoy is GREAT! Lots of notes, but they're all on the test - participation boosts your grade a lot, and shes very helpful.
