Comment:

passes around sheet of paper for attendance. Only graded on midterm and final (135 true or false questions). 3 hour class but you can leave. never used the textbook besides studying for the two exams. Lectures for the whole class. has no website or slides or anything so the only way you know whats going on is if you go to class and take notes.

Comment:

This class is hard. It is 3 hours long and your final grade is decided by the midterm/final. Attendance is taken but not counted toward your grade but you should show because if you don't you will fail miserably. Suprunowicz is a nice guy and all and know what hes saying but as a professor I would not recommend him, his teaching isn't great.

Comment:

The only thing you're graded on is a midterm, final and attendance. He doesn't show slides in class or have them online. Class is 3hours of taking notes from him speaking. The two tests are veryyy long but all multiple choice. Take Paul Morgan instead

Comment:

The lectures are pretty boring but they're really important for the tests. He's a really cool guy, but his tests are the only thing he grades! There's only 2 tests, the midterm and the final. He grades it on a curve based on percentiles which is nice. Make sure to read and study for the test, because again, THAT'S ALL HE GRADES.

Comment:

The class structure is really simple. There is a textbook, oral lectures, and 2 exams with 100 true/false questions each. He does take attendance so it's not like one can skip class. Going thoroughly over the book and listening in class should be more than enough for at least an A-.

Let me be real with you all. Mike s a great professor, and I managed to get an A in his class. This is because I studied my ass off, and it paid off. Listen, he's a great professor but he isn't for quitters, he's for the students who want to challenge themselves and learn. If youre not one of those students, don't take the class...

Only 2 Exams -115 question -T/F , Funny professor that tries his best to teach , Must read textbook to pass exams and go to lectures so if the reading doesn't make sense MAYBE he will make it make better sense

There is only 2 test for the whole semester but your grade is relative according to the rest of the class which means there is a curve.

Loved Mike's class! The three hours goes pretty fast as the topic is interesting and Mike did a really good job of keeping it upbeat. Two 150 question tests, completely fair if you study and has a decent curve.

Best professor I've had yet. Going to three hour long lectures was worth it because Mike is a great professor and makes the class fun. I learned a lot.

pretty simple class. no powerpoints and he barely writes down notes. 95% of the time he just talks so prepare to listen or read the textbook. 2 tests 130 questions only true or false. pretty fair class most of the material is common sense. i barely went to class or read the textbook becsuse it was too pricey. B- grade.

Just lectures, writes no notes, tends to ramble. Two exams 100 true or false questions. You are not allowed to ask any clarification questions about the exam, so if you don't understand a question or a question doesn't make sense, he won't help you. Take another professor his exams are hard and hes not a good teacher at all. I didn't learn much.

Great professor, Difficult tests. He gave only two with 130 true or false questions. You really have to read the textbook and his office hours are at his law practice in troy, kinda complicated.

Comment:

Suprunowicz is the man! Very important to do the reading. Two tests all semester, that's it. No homework. Tests are medium/hard difficulty, but it is imperative you study/read the material well to do well on the tests. Highly recommend, entertaining teacher. Knows law inside and out, will make 3 hour class fly!

So funny and made sure to fit in as much information as possible for each class without overwhelming us. I wish i had more of an interest in being a lawyer because I would definitely take more of his classes!

No review sheets at all your only hope is to THOROUGHLY study the textbook, don't just study the definitions cause it was pointless. He does go over concepts in class but it's not interesting at all.

Comment:

I seriously don't understand why this man doesn't have as much recognition as Paul Morgan Jr. He is a great professor! I even considered law school after this course. This material isn't easy. You have to pay attention and study. CONSIDERATION, CONSIDERATION, CONSIDERATION! you will hear that word almost every class.
