He is straight forward. He gives detailed Exam reviews so write down everything he says. The online quizzes are open book so really do a good job you should get an 90%+ on each. Writing Assignments are not hard just follow his writing criteria. FORMAT is everything. Overall good class just study the exam review and participate.
Professor Horky is one of the best Professors i have ever taken. His class is very straight forward and you always know what to expect on tests and assignments. You will NOT regret taking him!
Pretty arrogant. He is probably a great attorney but kind of a jerk as a professor. Rade way harder than is necessary on the writing assignments. Exams were easy once I gave up on his lecture notes and began reading every page of the chapter on my own.
A very good professor! The best professor to take BUL 4421 with. There's a lot of work to do - Quizzes (online), Writing Assignments, and Exams, but it'll be worth it in the end. I'm currently taking him, and I'm pretty sure I'll get an A. TAKE HIM!
Great guy. Clear as water with grading expectations/homework. For the love of god, follow his formatting requirements for papers you submit. Tests aren't bad. He's a fan of class participation. Riveting discussions in class made my 3 hour block more bearable. Learned A LOT!
Great professor! He's very well organized and he always lets you know exactly what to expect both on assignments and exams so there are no surprises. He uses real life cases of his own as examples during lecture which really helps to clarify the topics. Highly recommend taking him as a professor!
Great professor! Highly recommend. Good exam reviews, lectures, and easygoing personality.
H'es a very good teacher. His test reviews are great. I learned from the book and he lectures very well. attendance is mandatory. He's very nice. 3 papers, 4 or 5 tests, and weekly online quizes straight from the book. If you don't get an A or B then then you obviously didn't try at all.
Professor Horkys class is one of the best classes i have ever had in college. Not only is business law an interesting subject to me but he also makes the class fun. I would describe his teaching as theatrical, he can articulate a thought as well as keep the audiences attention. Take him you won't regret.
great professor. I didnt have the chance to thank him after the final for such a great semester (but THANK YOU!!) I really appreciate his teaching method, this is a class you'll actually learn something instead of memorizing and forgetting everything after the exam. Pay attention to his lectures (which are not boring) and you'll pass the exams!
GREAT teacher. I enjoyed this class so much. His lectures are very informative and not boring at all. Class consists of 3 Writing Assignments and 4 Exams. This was the best class I have taken so far. I would take him again if I had to. Give great feedback and interacts with students.
Great professor! I really appreciated his teaching style (not boring and he does NOT just read from a power point), make sure you take notes because a lot of the material will be lectured. Study for his exams, he does great reviews but you still have to read the chapters. Writing assignments are not hard and are fairly graded. Loved this professor!
Definitely one of my favorite professors at FAU! I really did not enjoy business law 1, but found business law 2 so interesting and I think it is just the way he teaches. We had 2 essays, 15 quizzes online at home(one for each chapter, very easy), and 3 exams. Final was not cumulative, and his reviews tell you exactly what to study. TAKE HIM!
guys the man. do the work youll get an A. love him.
This professor was great! Makes the subject so interesting. Only 2 papers, but they really make you think. He really does make you apply the concepts you learn in class to everyday scenarios. Such a soft spoken individual but he keeps the class attention the whole time. Very respected by everyone in his classes. Enjoyed coming to his class!Take him
He is a great professor and one of the best in BUL4421. His lectures are interesting and interactive to keep your attention. Two papers but they help you understand the material better. 4 Exams but he gives an exam review that if you follow to the T you should be able to receive an A no problem.
Overall, he was a good professor. His lectures were incredibly boring, but thorough. You have to listen to them in order to get the "participation" questions. 3 exams and 3 short papers. He grades kind of tough on the papers. His study guides are helpful but can be unorganized. He is stickler for rules and deadlines.
Took him for six week summer session. Really enjoyed the class, hes a good teacher and uses real criminal cases to relate to. Very straight foward, if you do the online quizes and read the book and go to class you will pass. I did miss a few classes and I was fine. Midterm, final, and 1 or 2 papers. I would definitly take him again!
awesome professor, he knows what he's talking about, and the best part, he makes it simple to understand, bring your book to every class and make sure to read before class as well. do the quizzes and you should be fine. he cares that you understand the material, and gives real live examples.
His class is very interactive and require your full involvement. He actually gets you thinking. Wish more professors were as effective and involved as Professor Horky. Love him!
Prof. Horky is an awesome prof! He expects students to have an understanding of the topic before class (read and do quizzes), because he will call on you. He conducts very interesting lectures and keeps the class interested throughout with his real world examples of the material. Follow directions, do work, study what he says, and youll do great!
Great Professor who cares about his students. Attendance is mandatory and we are expected to do learn smart for each chapter , a quiz for each chapter, two 1 page papers, and 3 exams. You will not regret taking this professor.
Professor Horky was an excellent this semester and won teacher of the year as a result. He's tricked on attendance but i guarantee you will learn something if you take his class. There are two papers, two exams, and a quiz for each chapter.
The class has 2 exams, 1 group project (create an ethics program), group presentation, 1 writing assignment, 7 take home quizzes. Attendance is important. The lectures are interesting and engages the students. Participation counts towards your grade. He gives an exam review. His exams are straight forward. Overall, this is a good Professor to take!
Professor Horky is one of the best professor for Business Law I & II. Start the writing assignments early, so you can ask questions before the due date. He gives instructions on the WAs and exam reviews. Complete the learn smart and the quizzes it helps with overall grade. Your effort will give you an easy A.
First time rating a Professor, and the best professor ive taken an FAU. Weekly learnsmart quizzes. Attendance is mandatory, 3 tests very easy. Study guide is literally whats on the test. Just be in class you'll pass some effort.
This professor made me realize I never would want to be a lawyer or be related to any type of field in law. I enjoyed his class but writing assignments/discussions are difficult to score high. You need to explain codes, rules, and more to support the case. Great for law students. Good luck to others.
You will find this class enticing. Professor Horky is ready to teach you, and you will definitely learn. Participation is required and it is a good thing it is. Speak up. He sets you up for success which will make the tests less challenging. Don't bring your laptop unless you are Special Ed, I tried.
Took for summer2018 Horky is a great professor He is very dynamic with his teaching approach. His lectures are very energetic and interesting The information sticks with you when you leave the classroom This make the exams seem easy Weekly learn smarts and quizzes, 1 writing assignment and 3 exams Does grade the writing assignment quite tough
He's passionate about Biz Law and it shows. His assignments and exams are straight forward, but you need to understand the topic. Study the terms and you'll be fine. Attendance is mandatory and you MUST participate in class. Book required.
Professor H is awesome, he is one of the best professors at FAU. He actually cares about you but he believes in tough love. Don't come in with excuses, do the work, get the grade. There is one paper in FIRAC form (easy, don't worry), a couple of tests, & 'minute' quizzes (not for credit). If you are interested in pursuing a career in law, take him.
The best professor I've had at FAU. Attendance each class and participation is key and he will call on you if you're being quiet to make sure you get your participation grade!! Two quizzes after each lecture but super easy if you read. Overall great class and made engaging in lecture topics easy.
Prof. Horky is an amazing teacher! He loves participation, so be ready to speak in class. Lots of assigned reading, and discussion based on the reading in class. He does take attendance so make sure to go to class. The textbook is required. He does an exam review the class before, so take good notes from the review and study that.
Horky is very demanding. He wants every single person to participate, he WILL call on you, or call you out in class. If he sees you are not paying attention, he'll call on you. You must know the material and cases prior to going to class. He's very strict, and very condescending. One paper, one exam, lots of participation required.
By far the best professor Ive ever had. Im an accounting student, but professor Horky is so good that I almost switched to law school. Go to class, do the reading, and youll get a good grade!
One of the best professors at FAU. As long as you study for the exams, do the online homework, and attend lectures you will pass. There is a paper but if you struggle with it and have specific questions about it he is open to help. He also loves calling on everyone so be ready to answer questions and be engaged in the class. Overall great class
Took this as an elective. Huge mistake. Assigned more work than my core classes.
Professor Horky is one of my favorite professors so far at FAU. He is one of the few profs that actually care and want to help you understand the material and will go the extra mile for his students. He is very well respected and would love to take another class with him if presented the opportunity
Amazing teacher who is down-to-earth, patient, & funny. Truly cares about students and their success. While he is very friendly he doesnt tolerate nonsense, so do what is asked of you. Go to class, study, & ask for help if you need it. Dont fear the participation requirementjust try your bestthats all he asks! Youll do well & enjoy the class.

HES GREAT. Participation is mandatory. Honestly, through the first month I thought i was going to fail and did not like him much but as the semester went on I started to really like him and his teaching style. Very understanding and nice. I have failed plenty of classes and i passed both of his. tests are Multiple Choice. fav teacher ive ever had
Attd is mandatory. Bring the syllabus quiz in on day 1. He will ask you qts to make sure you're paying attention, he gives out participation pts. My dad was a lawyer turned judge so I know a bit of the material but I still had to read every word of every chap to get a solid A in the class. Connect was glitchy for me in this class only, be careful.
He is one of the BEST TEACHER at FAU. He is funny and nice. You get to relate the concepts in real life situations. You must participate, there's not wrong answers! and you must come in class. He makes class fun and truly cares about student's success. He also hints you about the topics that will be on the exam and study!.
Take him for business law 2. He also do exam reviews. He gives amazing lectures. His lectures are discussion. If you pay attention in class, and study the review, and A is easy to get. There is one case paper you do have to write, but its easy if you follow his direction
Such a great professor ! I'd recommend taking him for Summer.. I learned soo much and ended up getting a 98% on the final - 93% in the overall class. There is a writing assignment but it was too bad.
He cares a lot about preparedness; read the textbook, understand it a bit, and come to class (assigned seats) and participate in student orientated lectures. They are really helpful to reinforce the topics. He gives exam reviews that are awesome. The writing assignment is easy, see him in office hours for any help. Take this class with him! 10/10.
He is the best online professor I have ever had. Most online classes you have to teach yourself, but his video lectures are great! I highly recommend him.
Professor Horky is an amazing professor! He really cares about his students and wants them to be successful. He has great passion on teaching and he is always willing to help. I set up a few meeting with him to go though the contents that I did not understand. He is very patient ! I hope all professors like him!
Horky cares about his student and the material very much. His class is tough. No laptops or phones allowed in class. Exams and quizes on paper and are tough. Be ready to read alot and study and you will pass.
he provides an exam review reflective of the test. to get A's on the exams, I recommend you read the book. Underline anything that seems important and type it into a word document. that way it sticks in your head more. Then skim through the chapter several times and read your underlines notes 20-30 times and the exams will feel so easy
Professor Horky is the best teacher at FAU. His lectures are very clear, organized, and concise so that you will feel you are almost ready for the exams. Participation is very important, so be ready to read before the class and participate as much as possible. His study guides for the exams are very helpful. Don't hesitate to take him.
He makes the class truly understand the topic by making you participate for points. He's been in litigation over 15 years and is very knowledgeable. You have to attend class because he has random minute papers about the chapter, so make sure before class you READ the chapter that were assigned. You must be prepared for class! He's great, Good luck!
We covered 12-14 chapters, quiz and learnsmart due every week. Class is long and lecture heavy, he takes attendance, MAKES you participate, and physical book is mandatory in class. Easy class if you study but he treated us like HS students not adults. He is nice and lectures are interesting though. Solid choice, just do the work and you'll pass.
Great professor! One of the best at FAU Easy and interesting lectures. He knows law and is very passionate. Watch his lectures, read the material, do the assignments and you will get an A.
Professor Horky is genuinely a good guy. Now, when it comes to the class, its different. The exams are closed note, closed book, online camera, and proctored. He gives no study guide, just explains what you generally have to know. They're straightforward but a lil complicated. There is usually 2 chapters each week with a quiz & learnsmart for each
Professor Horky is the best professor Ive ever had. I took him for business law 1 over a year ago, and now I am taking him for business law 2. He is extremely respectful and works with you to make sure you understand and retain the information. He is an inspirational person and a role model. Everyone who has the opportunity should take him.
Professor Horky is very knowledgeable, and you will learn a lot in this class. However, even though the material and exams are easy, this class requires A LOT OF time. He expects you to show to class knowing all the material, so read case studies and be prepared. He is very impatient as well, so avoid asking questions or interrupting him.
Professor Horky is great, and he knows a lot! Be prepared to answer questions related to case studies, and pay attention to his lectures! He is one of the best professors in the College of Business.
The professor definitely made you work for this class but if you did the papers and put some effort in, he was an easy grader. The final exam was difficult but he tells you what to study. Definitely take him, he is awesome!
Prof. Horky was amazing. He explains everything so perfectly and doesn't expect you to know everything right off the bat. He is a natural teacher and his lectures won't bore you. He gives reviews before each exam and basically tells you what to study. He allows you to use the book for each exam and the final exam wasn't even proctored. Stress-free!
I took Business Law with Professor Horky and he was GREAT! If you fail his class it is because you just did not study. He provides a lecture video for all chapters to better help you understand your readings. He gives you a video exam guide and tells you EXACTLY what to study in preparation for his exams; no trick questions. He was amazing!
He is the best! Business Law isn't an easy course but he makes it interesting and is extremely passionate about the subject. You have to read a lot but other than quizzes and 2 exams, it was easy compared to other business core classes.
Professor Horky is an amazing professor! I took his online business law 2. It was easy. Professor Horky recorded a lot of great helpful videos for each chapter to help us understand the material.
Professor Horky was a great teacher to take for BLAW. I am not in the college of business at all so I was nervous at first but he was great. Make sure to participate and read the chapters prior to class. He has really interesting lectures and keeps students involved. He is great but doesn't like when people are late.
Professor Horky was very good , give good real world examples. Wants his students to succeed in the course. Gives good exam reviews, just attend the class and participate
In a college lecture environment, I feel like its so rare to find aprofessor like Mr. Horky . His class is a great size for student engagement and makes sure that his students are grasping and understanding the material. Hes also quite understanding as well. If you show up to class and show that you care he will do his best to make sure you pass.
Great law professor, Ive taken his classes 3 times! - Business Law 1, Business Law 2, and now in graduate school, Business Law Applied Ethics. You can definitely pass his class if you attend every lecture and take notes, read the readings he assigns and definitely participate during the class discussions. Its overall a fun and insightful class!
Prof. Horky explains the material so well. He's a very interactive professor who calls on everyone in class. I wouldn't want to be in any other Business Law class!
Great Professor. Makes the classes engaging and never dull. There will be a lot of reading of case briefs and legal terminology. He explains it clearly and is willing to answer any question you may have. Get the textbook and read the chapters, he may randomly call on you to explain a topic to the class.
Overall Professor Horkey is good. The class involves a lot of reading but all you really need to read is the assigned cases. Lectures can be long and boring but have to pay attention since he calls on students. Besides reading, a group essay, and 3 exams there is no homework. If you pay attention the class is relatively painless, and you will learn
Prof Horky is a must take class for business ethics. He makes sure there is participation by calling on you. The class is not hard but makes you think. He is dedicated to his students learning, makes sure every opinion is heard which make lectures an open forum, while still lecturing from the book and his own experiences in business ethics.
Some of the lectures are not too interesting and it gets challenging to follow as he does speak in a rather monotone voice for the most part. Still, he is nice and grades the tests in a timely manner as well as provides feedback. Readings are necessary to get a good grade as the lectures are not enough.
Do what he suggests and you will get an A. All I did was study the vocab, legal principals, Learning objectives and answer the questions from his reviews and got an A. The professor is very straight forward and lectures are short explaining the main points. Great class structure.
Took in the summer, small class, prof was best I've had at FAU so far. Bring book to class, write notes. Prof will call on u randomly to answer his questions so be sure to know the material, but this really helps u learn! HW was easy, tests were challenging but not too hard. Prof wants you to succeed! Show him u care and he's happy to help u. 10/10
Nice guy, only thing is there is only 3 exams, no hw. You have to be a good test taker to do well. One other grade is a group essay (hope to get good group members & you will be fine) He lectures the entire class and asks MANY questions to keep everyone on their toes. Class is mandatory.
I like this class. There are 3 exam, you will have an exam review for each, which is really helpful, no homework, and 1 group project. Class participation is very important because it counts on your grade. Follow the lecture and read the chapters and assigned cases and you would be fine.

All around great professor! Knowledgable, funny, and gives chances. Had him for Business Law. Pretty easy if you just attend class and answer a few questions throughout the semester. Make sure to attend the review sessions and you'll ace the tests.
Professor Horky was a fantastic professor. He knows his stuff, but more importantly, he knows how to break it down so anyone can understand. Lectures didn't feel long since you were encouraged to participate. Tests were not difficult so long as you read the material and went to class.
FAU will not be a complete experience without taking Professor Horky's class. I have had him for 2 courses and he's inspired me to pursue a career in law. As long as you're prepared to read and participate, you'll excel in this class! Speak up and you can learn so much in his courses. Everybody should have him as a professor at least once!
Professor Horky is a great teacher, he gives us everything we need to succeed. If you study the PowerPoints and pay attention to his lectures, you are guaranteed a good grade on his tests. He is one of the few teachers who genuinely has his student's best interests at heart. I can't wait to take Business Law 2 with him next semester!
I took the 6 week-long version of the class, which is very demanding but so worth it! Professor Horky really knows his stuff and breaks down difficult concepts for easy understanding. Weekly quizzes + midterm + final. Read the chapters/cases and take notes for discussion in class. Overall a great professor, you won't regret choosing his class!
Professor Horky was an excellent professor. He explained topics clearly and was very insightful when answering questions from students. His class requires lots of reading and participation but it helps when exam time comes around.
Professor Horky was great! His class was easy to pass. The material for BULL4421 is demanding as it requires a lot of memorization for key terms, law principles, and chapter objectives. However, the videos he posts before every class are great for breaking down the material. I passed with an A in this class and earned 100% participation!
