If you are looking to take BLR, not as a WI, I would highly suggest Epstein regardless of the time of the class. He lectures with powerpoints during class times and keeps the class well engaged. He often makes stupid yet funny jokes about the material and it sticks in your head. Around 7 quizzes with 2-3 exams which are pretty easy if you study.

My favorite professor so far at CMU. He is always willing to answer questions, keeps class interesting, keeps you updated on your class grade even though he doesn't use Blackboard, and offers many take home quizzes to help you out. Make sure to pay attention in class, but you won't have any trouble with his engaging and funny lectures. Awesome guy!

Unreal professor, very willing to engage, makes students feel as if they all rank in the top percent. Relates many topics from class to outside real life circumstances, despite subject matter being slightly monotonous, makes lectures engaging and fun, never a dull moment, highly knowledgable.

Professor Epstein was the best professor I have ever had in my college career. Professor Epstein is a great guy who cares about each student. You need to study for his class but he makes it very clear on what is on each quiz and exam. The book is not necessary so do not buy it! Take Professor Epstein if you can you won't regret it.

Class is not mandatory and all slides with information are put on blackboard. Exams are easy but make sure you study the reviews and go to the review class periods to get an A. Super easy class and lectures are entertaining, great professor.

I have taken Professor Epstein for business law, contract law, and sports law and he is by far the best professor I have ever taken. He provides every opportunity for students to understand the information and succeed. He doesnt require a textbook or attendance. His lectures are more entertaining than any other lecture I have been too.

Although his class can be boring, he is a fun professor. As long as you study a day or two before the exam you will do fine in this class. His quizzes are open note as well.

I took sports law with him a few years ago. Great professor, really knowledgeable about all things law. Offers a very unique perspective on sports law due to his other work at CMU. He's funny, accessible, makes good powerpoints, and gives out candy in most classes. Highly recommend any class he teaches

I really enjoyed his lectures. He was very funny and always gave me a good laugh. His lectures were very light and not boring at all. If you're like me and hate lockdown browser take professor Epstein. None of the quizzes or tests were on lockdown. I would suggest just paying attention which is easy when the material is interesting and take notes

in class is all lecture on a powerpoint and pretty boring, then all quizzes/exams are online, you have to go to the lectures in order to do well on the quizzes/exams because he makes up specific examples that don't exist online, overall pretty easy

Amazing professor! I never wanted to wake up for the class, but the second I walked into the classroom it was fun. He finds ways to incorporate examples into his lectures which helps students understand the concept more. He's also REALLY funny and gets students engaged with the topic. Take him for a class! ... and connect with him on LinkedIn!

I'm not sure how he did it, but he made law fun. Just go to his lectures, take notes, and you'll get an A or B. Class is only "hard" because it's a lot of legal terms you need to remember for the exams. But honestly, if you're a business major, you should be learning a lot of these laws anyways, they're very useful to know.

He was honestly the best prof ive ever had. the quizzes are all online and almost weekly and you only go to class once a week. he makes videos for you to watch at home for the other day and they are super short. super awesome lectures and very caring. the exams are not hard if you print out his slides. he gives you everything you need to get an A.

I took this class online, and it felt like I was in the classroom! The professor is very accessible outside of class, and provides several resources so you can learn the way that works for you. Beware the seven week class is a lot of work especially right at the end, but if you pay attention and take good notes, it is an easy A.

This professor was absolutely amazing. There was only one quiz per week and then we had 3 exams. He gave so many resources to help if you ever get confused on a specific topic. I am telling you, take this class online with this professor and you will not regret it!
