He is not fair to grade on papers, both in-class and assignments. Especially for international students, I highly suggest you NOT TO TAKE HIS CLASS. He dicriminates international students because their english isn't as good as American. If you are not native american, don't even expect to get A.

I really liked him. It is easy to get a B but hard to get an A in this class. I got an A, but I was always in his face trying to find out exactly what he wanted. Sit up front, be on time, and participate. That means contribute to the class discussions and you will get that elusive A. The work is as easy as it gets.

Brian is very knowledgeable and makes his class interesting. But he 've never given you homework to prepare for his in-class writing.

I think it is almost impossible to get "A" in his class if you are an ESL student. So many students like him becuase it is easy to get "B" in his class. Very very very easy.

Second time taking Mr. Keliher. This class wasn't as great as Bus Law, but the subject material isn't his fault. He is great, very humerus, witty, sarcastic, encouraging, etc. Would take again. He likes participation. Read PP's, take notes and you're pretty much good.

This is an OUTSTANDING professor! You will learn a lot about the law in this class. He provides Ppt's on Blackboard for you to use as study guides and to take notes in class; this is extremely helpful. During the lectures he comes out with some seriously funny zingers that will make you laugh and interested to participate. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Professor Keliher was amazing! I had him for Business Law and would definitely recommend him. Attending class is important because his tests are from his lecture slides and case studies. He gives out study guides for exams and if you complete them you'll do great. Make sure you know the cases he goes over in class. Other than that little homework.

He's funny and smart; he'll admit something he doesn't know. I don't feel dumb asking question in his class. I'll miss him when this class is over.

His lectures have some boring material, particularly bus com. He makes the lectures a little bit lighter and less boring with his personality. Tests are based on material covered in class.

Mr. Keliher was a great instructor. He actually teaches you things clearly and visually in his lectures and is pretty chill. One thing though is that he will not let you make up late/missing assignments so if you miss any, you are out of luck and will have to take the 0. But, as long as you are on top of everything, you should be fine.

He doesn't expect us to be lawyers, so he doesn't grade us as such. Considerate for test grades because he wants you to do well, if you obviously get the gist of the content and tried to explain it in good terms. He has charisma even on camera.
