Go to class, pay attention, and you'll do good!
Very Interesting.....study & you'll pass
Take Business Law with him.
Huge Curves, Cool Teacher--Take LEGL 225 With Him!!
HE IS THE MAN!!!!!
Very interesting, do your work and your fine
easy if u go to class and study
Go to class, very interesting/ funny. study notes and your fine.
TAKE THE THIS CLASS WITH HIM... a good amount of hw but it is a fun class
awesome teacher; fun class; 3 tests; little hw
Prepares your mental, breaks things down, NO hw., just read, sit back, and enjoy
Great guy. Funny!! Knows his ****. Class is always cancelled. No HW.
your grade is determined by 3 exams, and that's it. no attendance policy.
Very nice, helpful, gives many days off, funny, jokes alot...some reading
I'd actually get up for this am class, even though attendance wasn't required.
Very good teacher. Makes learning fun! If need, he will give you extra help. Awesome teacher. Strongly recommended!
he does every thing need for class,but his examples are very hard for internation students .Only American student can understand it .No internation student take with him unless they know american society very well
Does a great job!!! Worth going to at 8 a.m. He is awesome
Hey, you guys gotta take this guy... doesn't matter... 8 am? still worth it. One heck of a guy to know and has been my favorite professor thus far at Towson. (psst--and I am a senior)
He is very funny, doesnt take attendance. Makes the class interesting. No projects or anything, you just have to read. If you read the chapters you will pass. Awesome teacher! Take him
very nice man and hysterical..but tests are hard and you must study.
He is a very funny guy, he's nice, there are only 3 tests an thats what the entire class is based on. he doesn't take attendence, but his tests are very hard at times unless you have some sort of business class or gov't class background,i recommend him:)
he is the best.... i love him... so amazing... i got up most of the time for his class. always made my day brighter.... he is the best..... awesome
this guy missed more days then i did!!!!!
great guy. really took the time to explain concepts that may be difficult. funny as ever! takes a personal interest in the community and gives fantastic legal advice. I got ab, but an easy A if ya study hard.
Great guy. Funny, keeps you awake and on your toes. If you are interested in learning the right way, sign up for his class.
Very funny guy with a good attitude. The entire grade is based on two tests, but he'll tell you EXACTLY what is going to be tested on, so there is no excuse for not doing well. Reading the book is mandatory, and he'll keep you on your toes.
midterm and final, on 9 chapters each. SUCKS studying 9 chapters! but good teacher, very clear, tests are fairly easy, but you must study and read the chapter. Nice guy, easy B, work for your A.
hes a no bull**** teacher. no papers. come to class, if you dont, he doesnt care. do the reading. take the tests. i changed my major to law because of him. hes awesome
LOVED THIS GUY...absolutely hysterical. The best professor I've had at Towson. Will be taking other law classes with him as electives because he is that much fun. Cancels class all the time...every other monday plus other random days.
This was the greatest class! He is funny, knows his stuff, and is willing to help in anyway! No attendance, but better to go to every class for his examples that are used on the two tests! Its worth getting up early in the morning to sit and listen to him
Because I know he reads this heres some advice YOU NEED TO GIVE MORE TEST/quizzes!Or writing assignments. Most won't agree but I can care less I got a grade I'm not too please with because of his two test minimum. good class crappy grading system!!!!
Very easy, never studied, barely went to class, and got an A
Not a hard class. Very good teacher, knows what he's talking about. Examples are very clear. Apparently makes notes about everyone in his planner. Got a B, barely studied...but make sure you go to class so you know what's up.
If you have to take law class for BUSS major,hes 1 of ur best choice,he don't care u showup or not,but u'll regret if u miss, enough & easy ex. on any law terms. Although i am an international student,i could say its the easiest law class i ever take
Great professor!! extremely funny, easy going, will give you extra points if you participate in class, easy tests(he'll tell you everything you have to know) just go to class!
He's a great law teacher. Only problem is that everything is from the text but he goes over the text in class. If you read and do the case problems you'll be fine.
This is the best class yet. I'm even considering changing my major b/c of him. If u come 2 class and do the reading u will do good. He's the best professor i have had yet. A couple of other professors could take some advice from him.
Neil is the Man. Highly recommended! Funny Teacher. He tells you what is going to be on the 3 tests. Just go to class and do case problems and you should not have a problem getting an "A"
Very interesting class. It was a MWF 9am and I still went to class and enjoyed it, even on the Fridays. If you take good notes and do the case studies, it would be challenging to not get atleast a B.
Incredible teacher would recommend taking him to anyone. If you pay attention in class you should have no problem. Very funny the slug joke is the funniest joke I have ever heard. Three tests no homework, do case problems and raise hand in class. Minimum of a B. All around great techer!!
Very sexy man, intelligent, great teacher, do case studies and go to class and should be a very easy B, only 3 tests with only 50 multiple choice on scantron, no homework, tells the funniest jokes ever, the slug is the best, he has ties with Loyola HS but i'll look past that, All around good guy!!!!
Made class very interesting and enjoyable. Funny guy who loves to teach the class. Has to give more tests or look at homework though since your grade is based soley on three tests so if your not a good test taker then you might not do as well as you would like.
Great Professor. Neil is great. If you take this class it would be a mistake to take it with someone else. Class attendance is important and you need to do case problems religiously. Makes this subject so interesting- I would just sit in on his classes if I could!
Awesome teacher and so funny. Makes class enjoyable.....only gives three tests the whole semister which are straight out of the book...but make sure you do the CASE PROBLEMS...I would highly recommend him, even if your not into the legal thing because he makes things so easy to understand
very fun and interesting! great teacher, taking him again next semester. Recommend to everyone!!!
TAKE HIM! Awesome teacher, this class is what made me decide to go to law school. Makes everything so clear, no BS.. tells you exactly what's on the tests! Do the case problems and it would probably help you out if you get him to know your name!
Had him for 2 classes. great teacher. always helpful if you have a legal question. helpful when you don't have a legal question. Classes are fun to go to. Never missed a day when we had class. Plan to take him again becuase he's good.
All I can say is open note tests, classes cancelled on a regular basis, and he lets you go early in a 50 minute class. The BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
F*CKIN LOVE THIS GUY! Take this class
Awesome guy! Really fun class! Didn't mind going to class because he made lectures fun! Go to class, pay attention, and you will do fine. Only 3 tests make up whole grade. Take him if you need this class!
Great teacher, only 3 test, class was fun, and he let u out early and it's a 50 min class. I loved him he's the best teacher ever There is no way u could fail this class
Great Professor! One of the best professors I've ever had. He really knows the material and he is very fair. He keeps the stress down, which is awesome but gives you the opportunity to learn.
Yes- I've taken Neil for three law classes in a row now. I can't help it, I'm in love with him. I'm depressed that he doesn't teach anymore classes. Got an A in both legal environment and sports law, and will get an A in real estate law too.
This is my 3rd law class with him. I absolutly love this man. Very understandable & helpful. Love going to this class never missed one of his classes.
Neil is a great person, very helpful and give out very interesting and funny lectures. However, he takes too many days off, which will effect your learning. 3 Test, read the book, don't take him if you don't like multiple choice questions. Test can be a bit tricky to some people. GL
great teacher and awesome guy. Lets you out early from class. easy to sit and listen to and makes everyone laugh. the one class i actually liked going to. 3 tests multiple choice. AWESOME GUY!!!
Great professor but if u don't study and do the case problems then u will not do great in this class. Only 3 test and a final so if u are not a good test taker TAKE ANOTHER CLASS
Awesome teacher, tests are pretty easy if u read the book and do the case problems. Let's class out early all the time and cancels class for "study days" from time to time. Definetly take his class!
I agree, he is cool and everything. But takes too many days off. Lectures are short, exams can be tricky. I personally prefer a course with more work rather than just 3 exams. Over all he is a nice guy, does listen to students. Infact he is probably reading this lol.
In the first week of class i thought that this we going to be a bad class. I was wrong. Neil is a great teacher and makes everything interesting. IF you study you will do well in this class. JUST DO THE CASE PROBLEMS. And he def. does not take to many days off.
He is a great professor, very fun class, and pretty easy tests. There are 3 tests, and the final is not a cummulative test, so it makes it less stressful. i highly recomend taking this class.
super nice guy his class is interesting and he makes the information easy to understand....take him!!!!
Very interesting and attractive! Easy on the eyes and makes it easier to take notes.
Neil is the best, he is a fun teacher and he makes the class interesting. If you study alittle bit for the tests you will do very well. I HIGHLY recommend him and his LEGL 225 class - minimal work and just an all around awesome professor.
He's the best. Great class, great guy. Likes to tell jokes and stories. 3 tests, do the case probs.
Easiest class ever. Doesnt take attendence. I skipped every single class in november and still got a B. Awesome guy to, really nice and funny. take this class.
Class itself can be hard. Neal is cool an everything, test are a bit challenging / confusing. Wish he did Case problem after the Chapter Lecture, that way people would have some idea what is going on. I know you are reading this Mr. Neal hahah, But I think if you do Chapter lecture before case problem it might be better for some people Thanks
Simply halarious! It was a pleasure to be in his class. You NEED to study though and it helps when you come to class. Goes over everything, and is ALWAYS there when you need help! Great Teacher :-)
Good teacher. Speaks LOUD AND CLEAR. the tests were mostly true/false type and were reasonably easy or (hard). it's not hard to get a B if you listen to the discussions and take notes well...
He makes the subject clear and interesting. Go to class, do the readings and you'll be fine.
Just listen to his boring jokes all class and you should pass
The textbook is boring which makes the class more difficult. The only thing I didn't agree with was at the end of the first exam Neil gave out study guides only to the ppl who failed. WTF! The ones that failed probably didn't show up to class regularly...THAT'S WHY THEY FAILED. Moral: Skip class and you get special treatment.
He focus on only certain ppl during lectures. Isn't all cool out of class time. Review doesn't help at all. Test are usually not what you expect. Comon this is legel class, not a Harvard entry exam. There are better prof out there
Everything in the book is thoroughly discussed and real-world examples add to the helpfulness. Awesome teacher, best this semester.
Whoever wrote those other comments, first of all, you are an idiot who can't spell. Second, Neil is the best professor here at TU. If you attend class, its fun, and he tells you everything on the test! No Surprise. If you don't attend...just read the book! Hopefully that dumb--- doesn't apply to Harvard, and may God have mercy on his soul.
I have to say this class has been one of my favorites.Prof. Neil is awesome and he makes me laugh every class.Whatever idiot said skip class and get special treatment doesn't know what they are talking about.If anything is hard, it is the material, not the Prof.He explains everything in plain language.Show up and he tells you everything 4 the tests
Good teacher, nothing else needs to be said. great guy too.
Very good teacher and a nice person also. Prof. Neil tells you everything you need to know for the tests, and he makes the class interesting. I never thought I would actually enjoy a legal class, but this class was my favorite. If you attend class and read the book, you won't have a problem passing this class.
My favorite class, my favorite professor
The whole class is kind of boring even though he jokes around 24/7. Your grade is based on 3 exams so if your bad at taking exams avoid HIM!
The class itself is boring. I'm not a fan of law, so maybe that's why I didn't find it interesting. His lectures are to the point but his exams are not. If you can find someone better, do so.
First of all, the only people who bash Ben Neil on here are kids that are pissed off at their grades! He is by far one of the better teachers I've ever had and finds ways to make the class interesting. He says exactly what will be on the tests, you just have to show up and listen! #@$%ing awesome!
I think Prof Neil class is pretty easy. He makes the class interesting so you would want to stay awake. his class is my easiest class this semester.
He's a really nice guy. Cancels class or let's you out early a lot of the time. If you just read and highlight the book you'll do fine on his tests. He also lectures to the tests which is helpful. Doesn't take attendance and gives a lot of examples to help you understand
Pretty easy. Suppose to read the book, but i just skimmed. Must participate! Classes are interesting and you learn a lot that will help you through out life. When I had him he cancled a lot of classes so I got to sleep in. He's awesome tho!
The coolest teacher at towson! most definately the best!
Ben is an awesome teacher! Highly reccommended that you take him. Come to class and do the esay homework and you will do really well on the tests.
Neil is a great professor, makes the class very interesting, read the case problems and you will do fine on the exams.
Great class with an awesome techer made learning the stuff fun. Cancels class about once a week too.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!
Neil is an aspiring stand-up comedian. Very funny guy with a lot of little jokes and quips about everything. Makes class very enjoyable and you want want your 50 min. dose of Neil's law class to end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BENJAMIN NEIL!!
Neil is awesome! Take him and you will never forget him. He makes the material interesting and really cares about his students. He actually knows his students names and trys to find internships for them. One of a kind - real asset to TU! My fav. prof at Towson!
He is a great professor. I highly recommend him. He is a lawyer so he knows the material very well. Has great stories and is a funny guy. He makes class interesting and made me want to go to class. There are 3 tests and they aren't hard.
Best professor you'll have at towson
He's a great professor. Open note tests in Real Estate Law which are not too hard, but you still have to somewhat know the material. Great guy and easy A.
Agreed with the other comments..Such a great prof., funny and random!!!TAKE HIM for law! He knows what he's teaching and very knowledgeable!!! You won't fall asleep in this class..Highly recommended!!!!
take him for any class he teaches hes awesome
Very likable professor. Always has very interesting legal discussion. Take him! Great professor!
best professor I have so far experienced at towson. his personality is entertaining as hell! makes the material fun, uses real life examples. loves class participation. the whole grade was 3 mc tests, he provides a comprehensive study guide and gives an in class review, tells you exactly what to know
This professor is one of a kind. If you want to see what real teaching skills are, prove to yourself that you can get good grade Ben Niel is the way to go. 3 test during semester, talks about everything to be covered on the test. If you pay attention during lectures you will be able to get A. Always ready to help. Likes soccer!!!!!!!!!!!
Entertaining and nice teacher. 4 m.c. tests
Awesome awesome awesome! such a good professor i wish all of them were like that! and what a hottie! ;)
This is the best professor I've had at Towson yet. Every class is so fun and interesting and he gets you to really understand the concepts. If you just know the terms and listen in class you will be fine. He is so awesome!! I have a little crush on him... :-)
THE MAN....BEST TEACHER AT TOWSON...Take him for LEGL 225. You learn important life skills, if you've taken the class you know what I'm talkin about. Watch out on hot days though, sweats a lot !
bow-chicka-wow-wow benj neil is a straight BALLLLLLLERR. he helps a lot on the tests and lets you know what is on them if you go to class. He is entertaining as well.
Best teacher ive had in towson to date. its not an easy class, but he knows his stuff, very well, his adaptions of laws into stories are what makes the class. take ben neil end of story.
GREAT CLASS! I really enjoyed this class, and learned alot. You have to put the work in and read the textbook but its interesting stuff and this guy makes it fun to learn, funny too. Highly recommend
Great teacher that makes you want to come to class just for the humor but he also gives away test questions if you do go to class. His tests are worded tricky but if you bring good notes to the exam, READ THE TEXT, and pay att. you will do great! Only 4 tests covering 5 chapters at a time-all open notes. Take him and you won't regret it!
Ben Neil is a great prof. He's funny and enjoyable. Attendance isnt mandatory but
Ben Neil is a great prof. He's funny and enjoyable. Attendance isnt mandatory but recommended--he goes over the test questions in class and adds his own experience to the info. Plus he's a riot. You must read the book though... outline the chapters. Thats the best way to pass his class. I highly recommend him!
I love this class. Prerequisite for the Business Major so it's required. Work directly out of the textbook and he goes over the chapters in class. He literally says exactly what is on the test, and 3 of 4 tests were open notes. Very funny, seemed intimidating at first but he isn't at all. Loads of extra credit. Take him!
Best professor I have ever had. Great sense of humor which makes the class much more entertaining than it should be. Must read chapter before each class because he picks random ppl to ask questions regarding the assigned reading. Exams are open notes, and if you show up to class, he will pretty much tell you what questions will be on each exam.
Neil is a great guy who has a lot of information. He is very good at explainign info. There are only four tests all MC or TF and most of them were open note. He wants you to do well in the course and learn the material and really tries to do that! take him if you get the chance :)
Took the online version. Nice and very helpful. Test was 5 T/F & 5 MC for each chapter (usually 5 chapters per test). Tests straight forward and easy. Always gives extra credit for each test.
I was not looking forward to business law but he is the best teacher ive had and really funny more like hilarious. I would highly recommend! he took a boring class and made it fun and interesting. has tons of experience
He rocks my world! best teacher I have ever had!! :)
BEN NEIL IS AWESOME!!! he is sooo entertaining and the class is not hard at all. 4 tests including the final all open note. And he gives you extra credit..take him!
I LOVE this teacher.. i wish he would teach all of my LEGL classes! he has a LOT of experience which makes me wonder why is he teaching at Towson when he could be doing something muchh better! his tests are straight from the book (open note) and he makes a boring topic so much fun when lecturing! take him!
The best class ever! Professor Neil is my favorite. He makes all the classes entertaining and all the tests are open notes. He even gives extra credit! Very helpful and extremely funny.
This class was my favorite class this semester. You don't really have to go but it helps because he gives you all the notes for what will be on the test exactly if you attend class. He's hilarious. All tests are open notes and there's extra credit too. I was intimidated by him at first but he's actually really nice.
AWESOME TEACHER! Can use as many notes as you want for the test. He wants you to do well so he offers ALOT of extra credit...Almost IMPOSSIBLE to not get an A unless you want to fail. Hes pretty good looking too :)
I took this class online. The only way of receiving course information was through email and a facebook page that the professor set up. Only 4 test which questions were taken directly out of the book. I can't say I learned anything in this class but I did get a good grade fairly easily.
Neil is hilarious. His class covers the material on the test but then his comedy just adds to it. He is very knowledgeable and is great professor. You will learn a lot taking this class and it not only will help in business but personal life as well. Take this class Neil is awesome.
HES AWESOME! EASY B, AN A IF U PUT A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT INTO IT. HES EXTREMELY SMART, COOL AND FUNNY! ID TAKE HIM FOR ALL MY CLASSES IF I COULD! EXAMS ARE OPEN NOTE
He is very humorous and explains the concepts really well. The tests are not too bad and you can do well if you put a little effort into studying. He knows his stuff and I enjoyed the class.
love him! awesome teacher! most logical professor yet. pay attention to class, review notes before a test and you'll do well
TAKE HIS CLASS!!! sign up now! i loved his class and this is how teachers should teach! wish i could take him for more classes.
BEST PROFESSOR I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR! He is an amazing teacher... hilarious... interesting to listen to... I was not excited to be taking a law class this semester at all, but he has made me actually enjoy going to class. Definitely take him!
This class is super easy online, but I think it's changing after this semester. All we did was take 10 question quizzes each week for each chapter in the book. The questions come word for word straight from the text and they are timed for an hour. I usually finished in about 20 mins and got a 90-100% on most.
3 exams with a few extra credit opportunities. Read one chapter before class, then go over that chapter in class. You'll learn a lot and Professor Neil is so entertaining. TAKE!
Great professor. Since he is a real lawyer he is very knowledgeable about the subject. He will tell you what you can and can't get away with in college. Overall a very very funny guy. I would highly recommend to anyone.
by far the BEST teacher I've had at Towson. This guy is a real lawyer and not only knows his stuff, but is very funny in class. He connects with his students and keeps the course interesting, even on the dull chapters. Tests are not hard as long as you read the text, which you will want to because he makes this class so enjoyable!
The online course was easy to follow along, as long as you kept on top of the quizzes. I would not recommend waiting to take them, even though you have until the end of the semester to complete all of the quizzes. I would take this course again.
This was the easiest course I have taken in my life. 18 online quizzes is your grade and they are not hard at all. Really an easy A if you do the quizzes on time. Sucks that he is retiring
Online class was easy. Just 18 quizzes that come from quizlet and sometimes the textbook
