Mr. Chesson is a capable instructor, and a smart lawyer. He was helpful.

The tests are strictly based on notes from power point. Hopefully you will be able to write fast, if not type fast because he wastes no time while lecturing. If you miss any information, he does not put notes on the moodle system for you to reread. There are 3 tests & no quizzes. Do not take it unless you are required, or have an interest in law.

If the scantron machine picks up two answers on test, even if you erased correctly he STILL counts it wrong. I guess he don't have time to do his job. If you ask question in class, expected.

But if you are an A student, DO NOT TAKE.

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. He will tell you that it is required but all of the material is covered in his slides. Use a laptop to type notes rather than write them because you need to know everything on the slides for the exam. Tests are mostly true/false. He makes his lectures interesting and usually ends class early.

Takes attendance, each absence over 3 drops final grade by 2 points. Only 3 tests, no other grades. You're gonna take notes if you don't know someone, so get them. Tests can be tricky with a lot of T/F. First test is easy, so make sure you do good. He is an old man, but has great stories that'll keep you entertained.

You are only graded by 3 exams which are very tricky. There are lost of true/false questions that are hard to tell the difference within the question. Professor Chesson is old but will still catch you being on your phone, eating, talking, etc! Be prepared to take tons of notes each day and to study them really well prior to the exam. Good luck.

He is a practicing lawyer outside of class so he incorporates real world examples to help you understand the material. He reads off every question on your exams the class period before the exam day, which is super helpful as an study guide. The exam material comes directly from his lectures but he never posts the slides on Canvas.

Attendance policy is a little ridiculous considering it doesnt count towards your final grade. 3 tests only which are tricky if you dont remember his notes word for word.

Make sure to go to class because the tests come directly from the stuff he goes over in class. I don't know why people say his tests are hard because he literally gives you every question that will be on the exam in the class before. He's such a sweet man and he's so passionate about what he is teaching

Such a sweet old man and is still a practicing lawyer. He takes attendance and more than 2 absences will significantly affect your grade. He doesn't put his lectures online so make sure to take notes in class, he gives you plenty of time. Frequently get out of class 10-15 minutes early. First test is pretty easy but the second is T/F heavy

Nice guy, mainly T/F tests are not so nice. Still passable. Could have aced the class but I never went so I might fail. He'll tell you that you HAVE to buy the book, but you will never need it. Gives you all the questions for each exam. If you take his class and plan on having horrible attendance, take notes on a shared document with someone.

I have had Professor Chesson for Business Law I and II. He's a great professor. Show up to class and take notes off of his power points. He will tell you to read the book, but he only tests you on his PP's. He has 3 tests, which compose your entire grade. He has a lot of experience practicing law, and will share war stories.

The tests are super easy if you listen to what he says the class before the tests. You absolutely need to take notes, and you should definitely take notes on a laptop because he goes very quickly. Your grade is just 3 tests. He's a kind old man. YOU DON'T NEED THE TEXTBOOK.
