  • Easy course. Finished with an 85. Was the only first year in that class, as it was filled with 3rd years and 4th years. Skipped lectures but read the textbook. Prof was fine but stopped going to the lectures because it was 3 hours on a wed night at DC, and the prof would cough into the mic every 10 seconds, which made the class unbearable. Midterm and exam assignment are very simple, you get a certain amount of case studies and you write around 500+ words on the case, the problems, and how you propose a solution. Did both midterm/exam assignments with 6 hours before the due date and scored top of the class. There was a small curve for both. If you don't go to the lectures make sure you read…

  • I took this with Darren Charters in Fall 2020. We had to buy a subscription to this website for participation, weekly quizzes, two assignments, and a final exam. Make sure to get the textbook, because the online modules are essentially useless. The weekly quizzes (and final exam) are application-based (you're given a scenario and need to apply the appropriate law).

  • Robert Timberg was AN AMAZING PROF as long as you actually reach out and talk to him he will answer all of your questions and give you feedback on assignments and quizzes that you have handed in. I found this class to be very informative but make sure that you go to class - even if you just sit there you'll learn something and know what will be on the exams bc he doesn't talk about everything in the textbook

  • 2 tests, final, and one assignment! Super interesting legal view on the business world! Course work can get tedious but the content is pretty great and wish they offered more courses like this. Textbook is quite expensive but worth buying as it explains the content really well! Tests are based off both lectures and textbook (not that bad since Timberg tries really hard to engage his students with personal stories and humour).
