AWESOME PROFESSOR His class are tough be expected to read and analyze the material because the questions on mid terms and final exams are not going to directly jump out at you unless you actually read read the material. He is a honest person and he is understandable unlike some professors so just be honest with him and you will do fine

Awesome Professor. I loved his approach to teaching. We did have a surprise group project which was not on the syllabus but I liked that he graded on individual contributions because some people were just terrible. He was great wit answering questions and clarifying topics and he participated in the forums along with the students. I'd take him.

Comment:

Took him back in the early 90's for English Legal History (2 courses) and one other I forget at the time. Loved the classes at the time, got some of my best undergrad work out of me. Then again, his courses inspired my ill-fated (and short lived) law school career, so not sure if I should recommend him or not.

Smart, helpful and fair professor. Don't expect to be entertained, but those are some tough subjects to make interesting.

His class is boring. but how can anyone make English Law interesting? Especially during the 16 and 1700 class. his test are diffcult so are his papers. but he does give you a clear direction of where to go.

Sawyer taught some and had us in study groups some. He was very lax about attendance. Grading seemed fair. We had papers but no tests in History of English Law from 16__ to 17__.

Comment:

He's very knowledgeable but all over the place. It didnt' help that he wrote the book. The only real study group I had in undergrad, and that was so we could teach the material to ourselves. He's smart, but I don't feel like he can convey the material. His tests are also difficult, but fair.

Comment:

The class I took with him was Christian History, and Dr. Sawyer did a great job of hitting the main points and keeping class discussion on track. There was a fair bit of reading, a few short papers, one big paper, and no tests! Sawyer's a cool guy, very knowledgeable and a thinker. He does talk quietly, so ask him to repeat if you didn't hear.

Comment:

Nice guy, class was boring (I took it for a filler; not a law student. Might have been the problem). Very helpful and candid with his students. Course was just boring - mostly reading ye olde English Lawe records - like Shakespeare without the drama. Very dry. Cool guy though.
