Comment:

This class is a straight lecture for the duration of the period. He rambles on and it becomes very hard to sit still and pay attention. However, the quizzes are very easy, he provides you with a study guide that basically ends up being the quiz. There is one case study assignment that he gives you in advance and then there is a final project.

Comment:

There was not that many assignments in this class. There was one assignment for the whole semester and it was to watch a particular campaign of your choosing and present the outcome to the class. It was an easy class if you like politics.

The class is very boring. There are four quizzes, a case brief and a project. All you need to do is to study the study guides he gives in class and memorize it.

Comment:

The class is boring. The quizzes are 60% of your grade. Memorize the study guides he gives before each quiz and you will do fine. Overall the class was alright. Communication students have to take this class and he realizes not everyone likes law. For those people who enjoy law or looking for a career in law take this class. You will learn a lot.

Class was sometimes boring due to material but he's a funny guy who gives study guides and makes quizzes really easy if you study. Laid back attitude and he's overall just a really nice guy who is willing to listen to you if you have a problem.

I loooove Gardner! Although "academically" speaking he may not be the best professor - he teaches more with his experience and his stories.

Comment:

he is an awesome guy. his humor is dry at times, but he takes nothing too seriously. the answers to the test were word-for-word in our notes and he gave us a study guide for each one. we had two presentation projects. no final!
