Great professor! I'm sad he had to leave halfway through the semester due to illness. To make matters worse, we got that jerk of a teacher, Spooner. It's like night and day... before the class was awesome and now Spooner makes it terrible. Oh well. Get well professor!

Comment:
This was my LEAST favorite class I've taken at BU so far. Beatty is very arrogant, and he is dismissive of other people's opinions. He cannot teach either. He writes notes on the board that are next to useless when it comes to preparing for his exams which are very difficult. He also gives you a false sense of security. Take Chang.

Comment:
Very good professor but very unfair with grades. According to his "curves", I would have gotten a A- but at the end of the course he came up with a new course and I ended up with a B. I was one point away from a B+ and he wouldn't raise my grade. Hope he learns from that mistake

Sign up for Professor Beatty's section! 8 AM is worth it. He is brilliant and very experienced. Class can be very entertaining and at the same time challenging because you get a chance to offer your own opinions and rationale. Speak up in class because it might be able to move your grade up if you're between two grades. Take online book quizzes.

Prof. Beatty might be the best professor I've ever had. He is incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic in the classroom. The reading/assignments are not overbearing at all, and the tests were very fair. Going to class is definitely to your benefit, but it is quite entertaining anyway. Definitely take a class with Prof. Beatty if you can.

Beatty is THE BEST! His class can seem like a courtroom, which is so much fun. Loves to hear from students and doesn't just ramble on and on. 1 midterm, a paper (u can work w/ a partner), and a final. Not exactly a hard class. Just go to class and pay attention!

Hands down the best law professor, and arguably the best professor in the whole university. He knows his stuff, makes it interesting, challenges everyone, and lets you think for yourself. He is just fabulous. Exams were very fair and the paper is actually fun to do. Participate in class, DO THE READING, and you will do great.

An incredible professor. Makes the subject of law incredibly interesting and very relevent. Lots of great class discussions. There are only 3 grades, but he's generous with participation which can boost your grade. This class confirmed that I want to go into law.

Basically, if you are taking Intro to Law at BU, make sure you take it with Beatty. He has a general passion for the law, will make you interested in it, will help you out with legal advice and make the class really interesting. Awsome teacher.

Beatty was the worst professor I ever had at BU. Here is why: You don't get 66% of your grade until the semester is over. He picks favorites who will make your stomach cringe (usually the BU girl who has memorized every bag since '88), hardest law class.

Too sarcastic for me. Doesn't give grades so you have NO clue how your doing in the class. Easy though. Take him. Only a paper, midterm, and final.

Beatty is hilarious - makes law so much fun and intriguing - I think everyone in his class wants to become a lawyer now. He's very helpful, clear, smart, and easy going. Also very liberal.

Professor Beatty was one of the best professors I had at BU! He was intelligent, but not stuck up. He was helpful and engouraging. I thought it was great how he always made sure to include everyone in discussions.
