Comment:

World's greatest professor, but this was his last semester. He could inspire anyone in that room to become a law student. He is so hilarious and wise and leaves you clinging to every word he speaks. I never knew the law could be so interesting! noncumulative exams, no homework besides a few cases, and chance for 10 points extra credit at the end.

The best professor I've ever had. Three exams in total, non-cumulative. He asks you to record the lecture so you have the chance to listen to it later on. It's been really helpful. Easy exams as long as you study. Two pages paper for visiting courthouse as an extra credit. Hilarious and everything. Can't find the right word to describe. Love him!!!

Take him before he retires. One of the best professor in UH Manoa. There are 3 exams throughout the course and attendance is required if he calls on you. Textbook is needed. He gives you extra credit if you go to court and write a 2 page essay about your experience. You will learn a lot.

LOVE HIM! I would totally recommend Cost to anyone who needs to take this class. He is so funny and entertaining which is needed in a Law class. He is clear and helpful. You need the book incase he calls on you. You get points for participation, so raise your hand and answer his questions. Tests are a little tricky but he helps to get you ready.

Comment:

Cost is an amazing professor. If you have the chance, 100% TAKE HIS CLASS! I thought this subject was going to be horribly boring but he makes everything so clear and interesting that its impossible not to learn the material if you just show up to class. Don't really need to read the book, but definitely go to class

Comment:

Cost is the only BLAW professor at UH, but it totally makes sense why UH only has one. This guy knows his law really well, and is actually able to teach it pretty well. Tons of great stories compliment his lectures and he turns a boring subject into a lecture that you look forward to. Tests are easy if you study and go to class and participate.

Comment:

Go to class everyday because the exam is based on his lectures and he gives away answers. BLAW is a very dense subject, but Cost makes it very easy to understand. Grade is based on attendance (answering 2 questions in class), 2 midterms, and the final. Do the extra credit that he offers. It is a whole letter grade boost.I would highly recommend him

His exams are really easy if you listen to class. I thought learning about law was going to be boring but he made it really fun. A must take class at UHM even if you're not in the business program.

He actually makes law fun! He explains everything in life terms and funny situations that you actually want to hear! He is very clear. No homework, except for underlining some cases in the book. While the class is easy, there are three exams that you MUST study for! And take a lot of notes! Extremely important!

Makes class interesting. However, you must attend class and pay attention. It is helpful to tape record his lectures and listen back to them before the exam because he mentions many of the questions for the exam during lecture. If you want a good grade, you need to study!! Offers extra credit for 10 pts on your lowest exam score.

Comment:

Awesome professor. Always has great stories to help you remember the material. FYI: The course is challenging. You WILL need a tape recorder, and you WILL need to go to class so you can get attendance points. These points are 10% of your grade. Lastly, the professor drives a red corvette with the license plate "Viagra" How Awesome is that?!?

Great teacher! If you want an A though, you really got to get your head around basic law. Other than that - you'll most likely get a B or B+ in his class (no minus grades). Offers a grade point extra credit if you go to court and write a 3 page paper. He looks like he loves what he does! It's obvious and he keeps you up in class.
