Should just read book and go to class only on test days. He is hard to follow in lecture, and distracting even if you try to pay attention.

Comment:
Class was very boring, but he was a very helpful teacher. Hard to take note, but if you listen you get a good idea of test material. Let's you give in class presentations of cases from the book for extra points. Pretty much just memorizing definitions. Pretty good class.

This man is too much...I'm glad no one else has to take him. He is always 15-20 minutes late to class and is hard to listen to talk. He teaches right from the book so as much as people say but UNotes use the book with them

Def. would recommend him, but he's retiring after this semester...if he doesn't though, buy U-notes and study those hard. Also, I'd recommend being the note taker for U-notes for this class...EVERYONE buys them, you'll make tons of money :) easy to make a B little more effort and you can make an A

Comment:
Dr. Smith is hilarious. He runs in his class, moves around the room as he is teaching and addresses you "Nice Class." Sign up to present one of the cases discussed in class and he will boost your grade up as high as he sees fit. You don't have to attend the class at all, but the amount of information to prepare for in the tests is pretty daunting.

I had him for business law. He is an animated storyteller that made us laugh. Don't buy the book. Buy U-Notes, and go to class to write down extra bits of information not mentioned in the notes. I had about a 75% attendance & made an A in the class. Review all your old tests before the final exam as old questions will be on there.

Great teacher! Does not care if you go to class but if you do it will be worth it. You can make a B just from the U-Notes but you will probably have to go to class for an A.

it's hard to make yourself go to class but very beneficial to...the examples and applications he uses in class are on the test and tests require very minimal studying if you've been there

I thought Dr Smith was hilarious when i went to class, which was rare. Buy the Unotes and MEMORIZE them for each test and you should pull a B. He also lets you do a case at the end for one point extra added on. O and if you stay long enough when you take a test he starts giving you hints to the questions. So take your time

Comment:
His lectures can seem to be all over the place, so be sure to get the Unotes whether you go to class or not. Old grading scale 92+ is A) makes it hard to get an A, but a B is possible if you put in the effort. Only 2 tests and final. Tests are 40 Q's, half of which T/F, so you can only miss 3 on each to have an A. Do the case for extra credit! Good

He is crazy and will talk your ear off. Buy the Unotes, don't ever go to class. Study the Unotes like its a final for two days and you'll do great, oh and ask questions during the test.

This class is terrible. If you have to take Business Law find someone else. Yes he goes by the unotes but his tests are all over the place that you have no idea what to study. He did switch back to the 10 point grading scale this semester but that didn't help me unfortunately.

Get the UNOTES and study them. He uses the same notes every year practically and the tests can be a little tricky with the true and false, but ive been to class a total of 4 times and I have a 91 average before the final. Class is by far the most boring class ever, but its a for sure B class and maybe an A with some effort.

Can get by w/o using book, but UNotes are REQUIRED. Tests are t/f and m/c. Not too difficult if you study the notes. Lectures are pointless, slow, and confusing.

Uses the old grading system, need 92 for A, 83 for B, etc. "Lectures" are incoherent ramblings about key terms, skips around so hard to follow. Stops class when someone gets their phone out EVERY TIME, followed by 3 min. talk on how he's trying to do a good job for us, "nice class." uNotes are a must.

This is the worst class ever. If you take it make sure u get Unotes.. and don't even try to go to class because you won't understand a word he says. Plus his grading scale suks... I studied weeks in advance for his test even read every single chapter and still ended up with a C in his class because of his grading scale. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Comment:
BORING! Actually expects students to sit through 75mins of reading the Titles, Subtitles, and Keyterms of every chapter. Thanks, but I can read the Table of Contents and Chapter Summaries on my own time. Good News: If you're interested in law, the material is interesting and tests are pretty simple.
