Comment:

Saunders is a great professor, he cares about his students. He does take the time to discuss in his office hours what you're missing. Funny professor. If you're looking to someday go to Law School this is a gr8 course to take because it's structured just like a law class. Extremely difficult. Must be analytical. Graded all off tests/participation.

Comment:

If you want to do well in this class, do ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT he offers. It's a lot of work. Reading, listening to audio lectures, doing briefs, participate in online chats, etc. I did average wise on tests but better than class average. Each test covers a lot of info, so don't expect to do well no matter how much you study. Again, DO EXTRA CREDIT!

He posts online lectures and does live chat discussions. However the average grade for the midterm+final was 50%. He says he will curve, but you won't see your curve or know where you place until grades are finalized and put into system. This is a time consuming class; you really have to understand the material to get a good grade. Not easy at all.

So many students dont ask questions, when professor Saunders will answer them. Test are tough but real life situations, so if you fail.. Failure Always Involves Learning. Stick with the class, and ask questions expecting to learn international trade laws. Keep up with the reading, a lot can pass by missing a class session. Good structured agenda.

Would definitely recommend his class. Three non-cumulative midterms. Read the assigned pages ahead of class and pay attention in class and you'll get an A.

He is one of the best law professor i've had at CSUN. Though I am a mkt major, I took BLAW 450 as an elective. Best decision i ever made. Not only was it interesting but it was also a breeze. Do all the readings ahead of class and listen to lectures and you will be fine. Take good notes since test are open. Read each question carefully!

Final grade consist of 3 exams 30pt each, and 10pt participation, no extra credits. His exams are ridicuously hard for non-blaw majors. 1 hr to answer mc questions and write 3-5pg IRAQ format answers. Class avg per exam is around 15 out of 30, so yeah.

So helpful during after hours. Very engaging in class and passionate. Makes scenarios in class then uses it on the test so show up and take notes! Grade was dependant on two tests, one paper, participation and was curved. Learned so much and would take for every BLAW course if I could. Make sure you understand concepts bc tests are challenging.

This class was fun and very easy(if you don't skip class, read the textbook before class and do the case briefs). He is very strict with his grading tho but once you come prepared you will be fine. Class is full of fun discussions so just get involve and get participation points. I got an A in the class so yeah you can too if you put in the effort

I read these reviews before taking his class and I thought, it might not be so bad. I was wrong. The lectures aren't too bad but his grading is terrible. 3 exams (MC and IRAQ essay questions), 30pts each and 10pts for participation. Avg on each test was about 15-18pt range and he curves at the end. Very very tough! I felt like I studied and got NW.

Professor Saunders is amazing. Read the textbooks and do the case briefs before class. If you do that lectures will be amazing and you will find the materials to be straight forward and easy. Business Law is always fun regardless of the professor so I don't why most people on here are saying it boring and am not even a business law major

He is very bad professor when he comes to grading . He has a lot of case study assignment that it does not help to improve your grade. His presentation is nothing and this class is wasting time. Hard hard hard class

Solid dude. Very easy going, friendly, and helpful. Took BLAW 280 and it was not easy, but very fun. Make sure you go to every class and always do the reading. Your effort is critical and you must make sure you understand these concepts to pass. Grade curve was absolutely necessary. Highest score on midterm was a C.

The tests are very hard and you have to care don't grammar mistake because he point off for a little bit and bring your GPA low. every week you have a lot of cases to read because he asks you every week. The class is boring and students wish to finish the class time. in general BLAW 308 is not interesting and he makes more boring.....

One of my favorite professors I have ever taken. Extremely helpful during office hours. He is very clear during lectures and you learn a lot. Tests are extremely hard. You really have to study, show up to class having read the chapter, completed the case briefs & always participate! Take him! really learn a lot if you're willing to work hard.
