Very clear, organised, and systematic teaching of facts and concepts. Great for all students (major and non-major). Encouraging, kind, and just as a professor as well as an individual as long as you are too.

Straightforward with tests & grading (midterm & final, non-cumulative). Summarises contents very well, raises efficient examples, and goes through selective textbook questions to reflect concepts and expectations. Very respectful to students and carries empathy from being a law student once. Also willing to help/brief students who missed classes.

Comment:
I had Professor Spillane for the first time he taught undergraduate in 20 years and he was one of the best professor I had. Never gives homework and tests are under an hour, never cumulative. Class usually ended early but its good to show up because sometimes he skips a chapter or gives info that will be on the test.

Great Professor, easy class. Exams are reflective of material covered in class. No projects, no hw. Two exams. Explains very clearly, and makes difficult subjects simple to understand.

He cares about his students and respect everyone. The class is not hard. Be careful when you take the exams. He gives partial credits on problems, but you might not get A if you do one problem incorrect.

He made this course pretty easy. One final and one midterm. No homework at all. You do not need extra hours to study except in the last few days before exams. Follow him in class and you will do fine.He really respcts others.

Professor Spillane is the best! I did not do well in midterm but did well in the final. I end up with an A. He explains materials really clearly. If I did not take his course, business law will be a real challenge for me since english is not my first language.I learned a lot from this course and it helped me a lot when preparing for CPA exams.

He is popular since he is generous with curve to students. As for the class, I can say probably you will learn very little. His tests have 10 T/F questions, 2 points each, and 4 problems, 20 points each. Although he gives partial credits on problems, you cannot get high grade if you do one problem incorrect.

It was nice having with Professor Spillane in my TAX612. Remarkably, he made a hard tax course surprisingly easy. Respects his students a lot. Very clear on what is going to be on the test. He is by far my most favorite professor at Pace. Take him. Do not hesitate!

Simply the best professor at Pace. Has a great sense of humor, gives crystal clear notes, and is very respectful towards his students. You'll learn plenty in his class. Midterm & final both based strictly out of his notes. Don't think twice about taking a class with him. Professor Spillane rocks, period!

This is one all around great guy, there's no better way to say it. A couple of exams which aren't very difficult. Take notes, he doesn't lecture for his health. He doesn't demand anything else, he's a laid back guy and it was a pleasure to have him for a semester. Don't think twice about registering with this guy.

He took over my law class after Professor Fox had to leave due to an illness. Professor Spillane is a kind professor and gives pretty simple exams consisting of true/false question and 2 short essays. He is kind of a boring professor, but he is worth taking.

I loved him, explaines very well, tests are streight forward. You have to memorize lots of rules but the cases are similar to problems he covers in class. Midterm + final 20 T/F + 2 essays, final easier because essays had only 1 question. He is very nice always answers e-mails with questions. Not a hard class
