Comment:

Professor O'Connor taught the online BLAW101 class. Was pretty easy if you read the lectures. There are at least 5 opportunities for extra. Extra credit was available for every exam. I never used the book because the tests were based off the lectures.

Comment:

Professor still didnt have any grades posted halfway through the class. When everyone says that on here, believe them. It's so frustrating not knowing where you stand in the gradebook. Tests and quizzes are riddled with typos making them super hard to read and questions have more than one right answer. Go to him for help and he makesyou feel stupid

Comment:

Took BLAW101 might as well just taught the class myself. At least someone would be teaching it then! RARELY RESPONDS TO EMAILS. Worst part? He is the department chair If he IS a hard worker, it definitely doesn't show through his online classes. Hasn't graded any written work yet, it is past midterm. Best advice is to choose a different professor.

Comment:

Took this class because a friend said it was easy, where halfway through the 8-week course he didn't put any grades in. Then turns out i was failing the class. Tests and quizzes were written poorly. Very confusing tests. In my opinion, if you want to teach a class, actually teach. If you arent gonna teach, dont teach.

Loved him! He was available and would reply to emails, he gave good feedback, but your grade will be based on the level of effort you put in this class. You will need to read the sections and make sure you are posting on time and replying to others. I learned some new things and can't wait to take BLAW102 w/him! He made me want to pursue law.

I took an online law class, and he was absolutely awful. Ignored mine (and my peers) emails, took 3 months to grade anything, and never explained anything in depth. without a doubt the worst class i have ever taken. not recommended.

Comment:

Professor O'Conner appears to be a super nice guy, but unfortunately my experience with his online course was fairly poor. He would always say to email or call him with questions, but would never respond in time. He really needs to review his tests and quizzes because they are very poorly written. I Don't recommend taking him online.

Prof. O'Connor makes himself available and offers help every chapter. He is an awesome asset to JJC, if you don't pass, then you just didn't want to!

Comment:

This was an online class. From the very beginning, he didn't even post material until after the initial start date of the class. He always posted to email/call him with questions but doesn't respond. I pay privately for classes and was very disappointed. Quizzes had typos and were confusing. Honestly the worst experience I've had so far at JJC.

Comment:

Never responded to my emails, all options on the tests were all borderline the right answer making it very difficult considering you didn't really know what as going to be on the test. He'd just tell you to read a chapter and you read a short lecture then get a test. I don't know what he is like in class, but online he was absolutely awful.

I took his online course. Just about the worst online professor I've had. Lectures were clear but the quizzes were extremely confusing. Lot of typos in quizzes, the questions are actually very poorly written which made it hard to understand. Didn't grade the essays till after the semester so I had no idea whether I was going to pass or fail.

never updated grades, never replied to emails. questions each quiz were very broad and each answer was partially correct. You can expect to do everything on your own and teach yourself the class.

Comment:

Mr oconnor is a very knowledgable teacher. Because he was a lawyer he answers pretty much any question you can think of even if it's off topic. Lectures are long but they all make sense when put together, and he gives real like examples so the information is clearer

Comment:

Professor O'Connor gives great lectures, unfortunately, it turns into a "what if ____" question and answer session from the students who can't grasp the broad scope of the material. The tests are poorly written and confusing. The professor sometimes makes mistakes with grades (sometimes to your favor), so make sure you check up on them. No book use

I love Mr. O'Connor. He is extremely supportive in the class and Is willing to help you if you need help. Also, If you're interested in pursuing law school, he's the man you want to talk too.

I took this professor this semester thinking he would be able to be more direct each week for assignments. Instead its the opposite and Im trying to figure out what do to because he i not detailed orientated as i thought but a class is a class and this one is not easy for me. I will try my best to understand where and when to do his assignments.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIM. No consistent weekly schedule, never replies to e-mails, cannot use iCampus properly, never puts in grades, and quiz questions are very confusing. The only assignments we ever had were quizzes, discussion boards, and tests. He never graded anything so you didn't know your actual grade ever. He's very frazzled.
