Comment:

Everything is a joke with him or some sort of witty humor. The hardest part is that he gives you the readings, but does not give dates for them. I believe he does this so he isn't beholden to a schedule, but it does make it hard to keep up with the class. The lecture is extremely drawn-out and dumbed down to the point that it leaves you confusing.

So funny while still making us work hard and actually learn. One of the least challenging classes to keep up with because his slides and notes are so great.

Clear and to the point, pay attention and you wont have any trouble. The clicker questions really help ensure you're on the right track.

I took this Professor at Pace University for Tax 311. Great Professor! Although, his quizzes were long but he then allowed us to do take home quizzes mid way through the semester. Really understandable. 10/10 recommend!!

If Manny was driving recklessly down Faunce Corner Road, he would swerve to avoid Professor Cleary since he's beast.

Comment:

I wish Prof. Cleary could instruct some of the other faculty as how teaching is done. Along with Prof. Clifford, the BEST instructor at UMASSLaw. Thank you Sir!(Hope I didnt go OFFTRACK)I would have given him a 5.0....but I can't say he is EASY. The material is tricky, but he is a consummate professional.

Lord Cleary can only be described as indescribably intelligent when it comes to the voluminous commercial code. His teaching style keeps you interested. Take good notes, he tests you on what he teaches...
