Comment:

Prof. Graham is an excellent Prof who really knows her stuff! Constitutional law is a tough class for anyone but I believe her method of teaching can help any type of learner. She uses charts, videos, and repeats important points throughout the class that will later help you in the final exam. Also gives option to do work for extra credit!

Comment:

Professor Graham designs her class around developing your writing with an eye toward the final. I appreciated her longer slideshows that step-by-step worked through the legal issues. The amount of preparation and reading isn't for everyone, but as someone who really enjoys Constitutional Law, Professor Graham covered a lot of material.

Comment:

Had Graham for Constitutional Law. She was filling in and did not have a TA. Conlaw is not her area of expertise and it showed. Her slide shows are at least 100 slides each (which she does provide) but the rate at which she progresses through the slides it is impossible to take complete notes. Be ready to teach yourself.

I had the pleasure of having Professor graham teach one of my classes this semester. She showed up with boundless enthusiasm for the material, and constantly inspired me to succeed in all aspects of study, both in the classroom and in the broader world of law. Her exams were short and effective, and I enjoyed her teaching. A bit too orange though.

Comment:

This class is so interesting. You'll leave knowing so much about International Human Rights and the politics associated with it. After leaving the class I am much more interested and aware of what is going on around the world and I find myself reading the news more often. Professor Graham is very passionate and wants you to learn.

Graham was great. She did her best to explain topics as clearly as possible. Powerpoints are full of questions, but pay attention to what she says in class. Final caught everyone off guard, but if you knew your stuff you were fine.

Really enjoyed the class and Graham was always extremely helpful. Not abundantly available, but enough that you could find her. Midterm wasn't too bad, but Final was HARD. Be prepared to talk about everything you learned during the semester.

Comment:

Powerpoints are a mess. Find a solid outline from an upperclassman and do her hypos. Commercial outlines won't help much. Nice enough lady - be prepared to be cold called out of the blue. She has a call sheet but uses it sporadically.

Comment:

Professor Graham was an enthusiastic teacher and her enthusiasm spread to the class. I had her last year and am just taking the time now to pay respect to a few good teachers. She made property law interesting. Very friendly and down to earth professor who doesn't have a chip on her shoulder like some of the others. Great teacher and great person.

Comment:

I got a bad grade, but I don't understand why. Her lectures were energetic and she loved her subject, but her grading was arbitrary. She looked at my mid-term and said that it "obviously was't a C," but wouldn't do anything about it. What does that mean? Is law school grading arbitrary? That's how I feel about it anyway. I won't take her again.

Comment:

i will never take another class with graham again. completely disorganized, and doesn't seem interested in property. not to mention her obnoxious daily comments on how we should have our outlines finished/should say goodbye to loved ones until may. she does not like to answer email, even though she is not very available otherwise.

Comment:

most enthusiastic and one of the best lookin profs at suffolk. Overall-great teacher, but sometimes speaks so quickly its hard to understand. LEARN THE POLICY, thats what she wants. So when you are bored listening to people have hypothetical debates, note down whats goin on. Use the power points and especially the text on the bottom)

Comment:

Prof Graham is very nice and clearly knows a lot about Property. But her lectures are tough to follow. It's not uncommon to come into class having read the book with an understanding of the material, but then to walk out confused. Use the book to study and be careful with her powerpoints as they are full of questions with few answers accompanying

Comment:

Professor Graham is a highly effective instructor who is passionate about the subject matter that she teaches. While her PowerPoints leave much to be desired (disorganized and WAY too long), she conveys the major points well during class and the exam covers important areas of the course without being overly difficult.
