Comment:
He just talks for 2 hours straight. Its hard to be able to copy everything he says because he goes so quick and there is nothing on the board to copy off of if you miss what he said. Occasionally gives out sheets with some notes on them. If you do bad on one test you will most likely fail because it's based off 2 tests and an optional final. No HW

Comment:
Prof. Herskovitz is a solid choice for a professor, especially in something as hard as Law. 2 tests, optional final, ALL notes are verbal, and many handouts which contain a lot of notes as well. In all seriousness, if you come in, sit down, and write down all of the notes he gives, and use them to study, you'll pass. Textbook really isn't necessary

Comment:
This was by far the hardest class I ever took and I almost failed. I barely passed with a C. But it doesnt help that this professor is by far the worst. He just sits there and lectures for 2 hours. No review for exams and theyre extremely hard. Im beyond grateful that I even got a C.

Comment:
Don't take him unless you're willing to read the entire textbook and teach yourself every lesson because he sure doesn't know how to. More than half of my class failed the first test and his advice was to drop the course. He only gives 2 tests and the 3rd is optional. He doesn't give any hw, take home assignments, extra credit and doesn't curve

Dont let all the comments in this professor influence you. The class is very informative and he gives out lots of handouts which is really appreciated. He likes to see participation, study the handouts and take good notes and youll do well. He doesnt like phones but come on its a lecture its just respectful to listen. Definitely take him!

Worst class I ever took in my life. Such a boring professor. Didn't learn a single thing, its a sign in sheet. Only two test and one finale. The finale isn't mandatory. Doesn't do review sheets, homework is only reading chapters text book not needed.

I took him in the fall of 2017. His lectures are really boring and I had him for a morning class so I was half asleep half of the time. Your grade consists of 2-3 exams, a midterm and a final which is optional. No homework or class work so the margin for error is narrow. I wouldnt recommend him

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He literally reads off his papers for 2 hours straight and doesn't explains anything clearly. Class has been cancelled far too much and we're still expected to take his midterms and finals. Everyone failed while 1 person had a D.

Take another professor. Attendance doesn't even matter. Your grade relies on an exam. This girl in my class showed up the first month, took the first 2 exams and final. And got an A. I showed up every day but didn't do so well on the test because it was insanely hard. Boom. D. So avoid him if you can't than good luck.

Very dull lectures where he reads off of papers for 2 hours. Consistently over a half an hour late and expects you to wait. Your grade is determined by 66 to 99 multiple choice questions, which can be anything from the hours of lecture and hundreds of textbook pages.

AMAZING PROFESSOR! I was turned off by the other comments, but I'm glad I stuck with him! Explains everything clearly, and if you missed anything he will go back for you. Final is optional, and exams are examples straight from lecture. Always be present, and pay attention. Overall law is hard, but he makes it fun!! TAKING HIM AGAIN FOR BUS260!!

Probably the worst professor I ever had. He did not care about his students. Basically sat down and lectures for the whole semester. He's an old fart.

Do NOT take this class. Professor does not teach a thing. For 2 hours he reads from his notes and expects you to write down everything he says. I bought the textbook and we barely used it. This class will put you to sleep for sure. Do not expect to learn anything.

Very, very dull and mandatory lectures. Exams consist of material from dozens of handouts given during lectures, as well as chapters from the textbook. Class is graded based on either 2 exams, or collectively through the 2 exams for 25% and the cumulative final for 50% of the final grade.

Honestly I don't know how I did so well in class. His voice puts you to sleep!! The test are everything he talks about just remember the examples he gives in class! No homework ever just two tests and if you do well then no final for you. All he does is talk for 2 hours, just dictates notes so be ready to be bored

Comment:
He isn't the easiest of professors but the way he explains his example is exactly word for word on the test. I'm not sure how much easier anyone would like it, you have to pay attention and have to read the book. He doesn't give home and gives handouts, which you must read they are exactly the same on the test.

Great Professor. He explains everything so clear, im not into law but he got my interest on everything. He makes his own handouts for you to study from. just pay attention in his class. he gives the same examples on the exam just like he explains them. LOVED HIM!! Gave everyone an extra 25 points on one of the exams. The final is optional. :D

Comment:
HORRIBLE. He does NOT explain anything, he just reads off of papers he has. He gives handouts that don't help. Talks with his hands up all the time in the most monotone voice. He teaches definitions and basics but gives tests on examples that make no sense. Don't take him!
