Comment:
Difficult to follow. if you don't understand a concept ASK, he will repeat. Goes through problems really fast so make sure you work on the problems beforehand, it makes a real difference. He likes to talk so the lectures are a monologue. Some of his stories are interesting, though. Keeps the class to the last minute of session, sometimes overtime.

Comment:
I would not have earned an MBA in Accounting, if I had not been a student in several of his classes. Knows the subject area, upside down, interesting, witty. His exams are no joke, open book, or not, you better take him serious and study. If you want to learn Accounting, Taxation, and Business Law; he is the man.

Comment:
really hard to follow & understand him. boring class. attendance is not mandatory. exams are open book open laptop but the questions are tricky. u need to read the material before exam. I'd say, THE BOOK IS UR PROFESSOR so rely on it instead of the prof cz he will never care abt u, he will nt even knw if ur his student!

It is difficult to gauge what material will be tested upon for the mid-term and final. This is doubly true for the final. Exams are in short-answer format.

Comment:
Professor Sampson is a very knowledgeable professor. He goes over all the problems in the back of the chapter. He is very hard to follow and his exams are a little tough. Also, he doesn't get to know students too well. If you speak with him after class a lot he'll get to know you and he'll make sure you do well in the class.

Comment:
Business Law- really thought that he was a good teacher. His lectures aren't very creative, but he has a lot to cover and does it. His midterms and finals aren't that hard if you are in class. I wouldn't suggest taking him in the morning.

Boring, Boring, Boring... 90% of your grade is the midterm and final; it's all about memorizaion. Talk to him after the term and he may raise your grade...

Comment:
The tests cover WAY too much detailed information. He talks really fast. He's not sympathetic, he thinks we're all graduate law students--when we're not. But he is nice as a person, and has funny stories to tell.
