The best online class I have ever taken! The class was very easy and worked around your schedule. The last day of school was the only deadline, anything before than was extra credit. The professor responded to e-mails right away, answering any questions. If taking this course in the future, I would advise anyone to take it with Professor Pentis.
Prof. Pentis definitely was helpful and always responded quickly to emails. I learned quite a bit in the short term session. I will be taking another of Prof. Pentis' clases in the spring semester and look forward to learning more from him.
Great class; very interesting material, professor is a teaching professional. Professor allows students to challenge or appeal their answers to test questions. Overall, it was a great 5 weeks.
I would take more classes from the Professor. Fast response for online class.
Awesome class, awesome teacher. he emailed us every day letting us know what was going on. I'd recommend everyone to take him- I'd like to take a class in person eventually also. Easy A if you put forth the work. has 2 kids in college, so he knows what it's like for us to be struggling with difficult teachers.
very good teacher, great sense of humor, makes even dry topics interesting
I love this class. The class is very helpful and I learned a lot from it.He is very fast with grading and getting back to his students if they have questions. There is a lot of work and material to read but they aren't that hard to do. I have taken both of his Business Law classes and enjoyed them both. I would definitely recommend him!!
If there was a Business Law 3, I would only want Prof Pentis to teach this class.
took him online for business law. Im on spring break and i just finished the class( in 8 weeks) . Class is way way fun. He is super helpful! class is pretty easy which really allowed me to relax and actually learn. Four tests, 4 assignments, 4 discussions, and thats it,HIGHLY RECOMENDED, he has 2 kids in college so he understands everything!TAKEHIM
I have taken 2 online classes with Prof. Pentis and I have loved them both. He allows you to work at your own pace, he doesn't overload you with assignments and he always reminds you that he is there to help if you just ask him.
THIS CLASS IS SUPER EASY. YOU HAVE S MANY OPTIONS AND EXTRA CREDITS. PLENTY OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENTS. TEACH IS GREAT. I TOOK THE ONLINE CLASS, VERY EASY AND THE TEACHER WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND ON TOP OF THINGS.
Took his online bus-18a class. Super easy, lots of extra credit available too!
You really have to work hard not to get an 'A.' The course material is somewhat difficult to understand, but with a lot of extra credit available, this class should not be too stressful.
Just an all around fantastic professor who truly cares about his students! Completely approachable and I would recommend him to anyone!
transportation class. Fun teacher, very educated and teaches extremely well
very understanding and helpful!! a great teacher!!!
Took Prof. Pentis for business law this summer. Great class and an even better teacher. One of the best teachers I've taken. Always asks for feedback on any problems so he can help. Extra credit is offered which really helps out a lot. As long as you follow his clear directions you will do very well in the class. Planning to take him for 18B.
he is very attentive and makes sure he is in contact with the class during the entire course. He makes himself very available and approachable. If more Insturctors were like him more student have an easier time in college.
Great class
This class was very informative and easy to follow online. Instructor was very helpful online and provided prompt responses to online questions and concerns.
This class was awesome. The professor allowed you to post a challengne to case studies. If you didn't understand he would help. And he was always availble for support.
Very proactive in offering help and advice to allow students to succeed in the course.
AWESOME ONLINE PROFESSOR!!!HE DOES ANYTHING HE CAN TO HELP YOU OUT. HE UNDERSTANDS HIS STUDENTS BECAUSE HE HAS COLLEGE KIDS OF HIS OWN. THE MATERIAL IS VERY ENJOYABLE AND YOU ACTUALLY LEARN IF YOU DO THE WORK. HE IS SIMPLY AN AWESOME PROF. HIGLY RECOMMEND HIM.
He was very thorough and also understanding. He gave us assignments that pertained to whats most important. And also gave overviews that helped with tests.
Took it online.
I found it really easy to work and communicate with my teacher. Very helpful and the directions were really clear. I really like his style
Great teacher, took it online. Very Helpful and understanding.
Wonderful teacher! Took it online, gives you enough time to complete assignments, even at that you still learn through the book! Plan on taking 18B too!
Very Well Organized Teaching Style. Work At Your Own Pace With EC Points For Finishing By Certain Dates. Took The Class Online Over Summer 09. He Gave Constant Reminders For When Things Were Due. Answered Emails Very Quickly. I Wish I Could Take Him For More Classes!!
Good online class. Read the text and if you do the work early rather then wait he will give you extra credit. This class is all about reading the text. Wish I could have taken class in person vs online as the teacher (via email interaction) appeared to be a good professor. Recommend.
I took Mr. Pentis Fall of '09 and loved the class. By far he has been the best online teacher that I have had. He is very good at responding to emails. You really work at your own pace. He allows you extra credit for every lesson. He is very good about reminding you when work is due. I recommend him to anyone that likes to work at their own pace.
I found my professor to be very understanding in the since he gave us time to read and understand the work, we were not pressored for deadlines, he was more interested in making sure we new the work.
The best professor you will ever have the chance to be taught by..he makes the world of logistics more interesting than it should be... Sincerely Julian AKA Duck
Very easy and fun - great professor!!
Mr. Pentis is a great teacher and helps students out when ever he can, he doesn't pressure or stress you out with a lot of unnecessary work.
Helpful instructor, grades assignments quickly and easy to get a hold of.
Definitely take this class online! Pentis is a great teacher, he is very quick at responding to emails. Reading the textbook is a must for the class. There are four tests and they are not difficult at all. If you're going to take business law take it with Pentis, i couldn't imagine taking it with anybody else.
This teacher really lets you go at your own pace. He explains what is assignments are required and then you complete them when you can. If you complete them in a certain amount of time you get extra credit. Really helpful and easy class if you do the work!
Prof. Pentis is extremely helpful. He allows you to work as fast and as slow as you need to. He will call you back and aswers ALL email in a timely manner. He really knows what he is teaching and is here to help!
Professor Pentis, Thank you for all your help and patience, you are a very cool person and I feel lucky to be in your class.
Really helpful and accommodating. I appreciate a professor like you.
GREAT TEACHER!! HAVE HAD HIM FOR THREE CLASSES! AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HAVING HIM AS A TEACHER! HE IS EASY AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. HE GIVES YOU CHANCES FOR EXTRA CREDIT AND DOES NOT PUT ANY PRESSURE ON YOU TO TURN IN YOUR WORK. ALL WORK IS DUE THE LAST DAY OF CLASS OR YOU CAN GO BY HIS GUIDE AND GET YOUR EXTRA CREDIT!!
I enjoyed the class - directions were clearly noted. The instructor was responsive and helpful.
He offers extra credit with each assignment. Allows you to work at your own pace, keeps you informed, while grading and getting back to inquiries very quickly. Wants his students to succeed. I Highly encourage you to take a course with Mr. Pentis.
Wonderful Professor,he is very clear and fair. If you work hard and do what he ask of you, You will pass the class with flying colors. I hope I have him in other classes.
The course instructions (syllabus) were highly organized and easy to follow. This is an online course, and although all work could be submitted on the last day, it is clear that Pentis took an active role in assisting students to finish and pass the course. Tests were challenging.
Course follows the syllabus. Lots of reading, but very doable. Tests make sure that key concepts have been understand--outstanding course.
Great professor! Makes online classes a joy! If you follow the syllabus and his great advice on study habits you'll pass the class.
Professor Pentis cares about his students and its reflected by his facilitation style of the class. He allows his students to work at their pace an incents them with Extra Credit for proactive accomplishments. Professor Pentis is also great with communication and is detailed with his repsonses. Highly recommended Professor.
Great Instructor! Always available, quick responses to questions. Extremely knowledgeable.
Pentis is the best instructor you will find in the field of Business within the context of online courses. Pentis offers complete open communication with a concise syllabus affording each student ample opportunity to earn top grades with extra credit and bonus points galore! Cheers professor on another job well done!
EXCELLENT TEACHER. Great online class. He is very clear about everything and provides you with everything you need in order to get an A. There are four due dates and if you complete the work you get 20 extra credit points. 4 (20 question) tests, 4 hw assignments, and 4 discussion questions. Amazing teacher and amazing class!

I took the online class in the Spring semeseter. Mr Pentis was helpful beyond call of duty. He was also promp to answer emails and was constantly making sure that no one got behind. I definetely I recommend taking his class . In fact, I am taking the next one (18B). Thank you Mr Pentis
Easiest online class I have ever taken. Mr. Pentis makes the class very easy in how the lessons are split up, the tests are extremely easy also. He responds very quickly and thoroughly if you are in need of help.
Easy class and Mr. Pentis was very helpful and accessible. I totally enjoyed this class and learned important information on the law that I was not aware of. Again great teacher
I have had many classes with Professor Carl Pentis and he is a great teacher whether it be in the class or online He gives assignments that help you remember the information you are being tought. I have learned alot about the law from him and I liked every class I have taken with him.
Very accessible.Each section of work taught vocbulary and applications of the laws in question. Each section of work reinforced the next. The syllabus was very explanatory setting due dates and an explanantion of what was expected. He constantly reminded students of up and coming dead lines. He also encourages communication between students/teacher
Mr. Pentis was great! The online course was not hard. He lets you work at your own pace and provides extra credit if your work is done early. He answers all emails and provides great input if needed. An A is very easy to get, just do the work. I would take any other class instructed by Carl Pentis.
Great class and great teacher. Learned a lot and the professor what super fast in responding to emails and helpful.
BEST teacher EVER! Took his online Intro to Business class and everything he explains on his syllabus is exactly what you need to do. He offers extra credit for every assignment! I believe there were 4 assignments and that was it! EASY A!!!
This is the second class I have taken with this professor and both classes I have gotten A's I think this is one of the BEST pprofessors ever. I love his style of teaching and always makes it easy so if you want the good grade ypou can get it.
This is the second time I have had this teacher and I have received an A both times. Just do the work and on time and you will get an A! Any questions you have he will answer, he also give you his personal phone number if you have questions or are having trouble and dont understand something! He's the perfect teacher for online courses!
This class was very interesting and easy to achieve an A in as long as you read the course material. I would highly recommend this class taught by Professor Pentis to anyone. He's always there to answer any questions and always has a quick response.
Just follow the directions and you'll be rewarded!
Online class is pretty straight forward. As long as you read everything & turn in all your assignments on time, you're good. He offers extra credit if you turn in assignments early. He makes everything except the first assignment due at the end of the semester which is cool because you can work at your own pace, but just don't wait too long!
I honestly was surprised at how much I enjoyed this class. The material was very interesting and I feel that I learned quite a bit. While there is homework, it isn't overwhelming and if you read the material, the tests are fairly easy. The professor offers quite a bit of extra credit for completing work on time so there is no reason to fail.
A lawyer, with an excellent education plan and layout of information. Clearest and most efficient use of Black Board I have experienced yet.
I took one online and one campus class. At first I was not crazy about him, but I have to say that I ended up really liking both classes and learning a lot. He's fair and if you miss an assignment, he'll work with you but you have to study what he asks and the tests require a lot but if you study you will be fine. Good teacher.
All around great professor.
Tests are EASY just study the ANSWERS that are "cough" taught to you. Do your homework assignments, and ONE page papers, pass the EASY tests, and then you will pass. The whole class is super easy.
Fun Lectures. Just go to class and do homework . The rest work falls into place.
Definitely a professor I'd recommend! He's straightforward about what needs to be done. All assignments are based off the reading. If you read the text, you'll find the answers are literally right in front of your face. Carl frequently sends email reminders about upcoming assignments, as well as offering his personal cell number for assistance.
Lectures take up the whole class but are easy. He does not mind repeating if you missed something and gives students a chance to make up work. Overall, great teacher.
Professor Pentis is awesome. This is my second time taking one of his classes online and I passed both times with an A. He is very responsive to student's needs and wants them to pass. For Bus 18A, his instructions were clear and organized. He is also a fair grader. This is a nice class for students that are busy with work or other classes.
Took his online class, very helpful and responds back quickly to emails. He knows his stuff, you just need to follow his syllabus. I would definitely take another one of his classes.
Pentis reminds me of Tony the Tiger. (He's greeeat!) He encourages good work with extra credit opportunities. He enjoys good reads so, put in the extra work; give good anecdotes and hypotheticals in your study guides to show that you grasped the concept. He'll reward you if you do. Overall, a very understanding teacher.
Research helps
Great Professor, may give out what seems like a lot of homework, but he goes over it the next class and pulls test questions from said homework. He has a lot of knowledge to offer for someone looking to get into the logistics industry, and it helped getting practical information and examples I was able to apply directly to work.
I thought the Contract class was excellent. Great class for anyone entering into the Logistics field. Instructor was a great teacher and has passion as a lawyer and for teaching his students.
This professor is very fair as long as youre fair as a student. A lot of other students complain about him, however, he is by far the most reasonable one Ive had as long as youre willing to act like a student and do the work the way youre suppose to. School is not a joke . If you do what he asks you'll reap what you sew.
One of the best professors I have had. The professor responds quick to any problems or questions quick.
Carl is a great professor, his lectures are relative to the text, but expressed in his own experiences. I am not easily impressed, but Carl is an exceptional professor with an entertaining way of sharing his wisdom. I feel lucky to have been a part of his class.
Carl is a great professor, he needs more classes at Norco
Best professor I've ever had.
Very nice professor! Easy A. Reply really fast online
I took it online and was very very easy, the professor is pretty nice grading and reply really fast. Easy A
His class was so easy! Enjoyed this class, just do the work and you should be fine. Super clear criteria on grading and schedule. He emails you so many reminders so there is no excuse to fail.
Easy Class, pretty straight forward. As long as work is done and completed on time you'll be able to get an easy A.
Great professor! Took him for business law & he talks so passionately about law since he is a lawyer himself. His lectures kept me focused and he is willing to accommodate any conflicts and easy to reach. I couldnt make it the day if the final so he let me take it the day before at his law firm. Overall easy. Passed an 8 week course with an A
Car Pentis is an excellent teacher. He clearly reads all homework and test answers while providing feedback and even sometimes giving extra credit for thorough answers. Everything was by the book and promptly graded. He even gave me a second chance on a missed assignment to get the extra few points to ensure that I got an A. 10/10 -Andrew Wilson
Hes so unprofessional and lacks basic communication skills. Hes never accessible outside of class which Id really useless for an ONLINE class
Professor Prentis made himself accessible throughout the entire class. I was very pleased with the class structure. The way Professor Prentis structured it, made it very understandable for a first time college student.
As long as you do the readings you'll do fine. 4 discussions, 4 HW assignments, 4 tests & 1 term report at the end of the semester and gives you more than enough time to complete them. He provides feedback on your assignments as well. I learned a lot in his class.
Professor was amazing, explained everything clearly will totally recommend and take any classes with him in the future.
amazing professor, easy to understand what he is asking and looking for. I would definitely recommend him to other students.
Such an easy class to take, gave you two weeks to turn in assignments.
I've had Prof. Pentis in a few classes and I like how clear and concise he is. You can always expect great feedback and ways you can improve your answers. This class was a bit harder because of the amount of reading and writing but he gives you all the details you need to find the correct information to get the most points you can.
I really enjoyed his class! I took late start BUS 86 every week you complete one discussion post, study questions and one multiple choice quiz. I took other classes and I was able to manage he is very knowledgeable and flexible. Taking again in the fall.
I've had Prof Pentis for several courses. He makes it easy to succeed because everything you need for assignments and tests is straight from the readings. He offers extra credit by giving extra points on an assignment if your answer goes beyond what he normally expects. I nominated him and Prof Dokter for an award to recognize their greatness!!
Professor Pentis' class was very straightforward. You knew from the outset what you needed to accomplish to be successul. He was very communicative and provided constructive feedback. Really enjoyed his course and learned a lot. Would definitely select him again for future business courses.
Clear grading criteria and instructions. Online class was easy to read text books and just the right amount of homework. Simple class, would definitely recommend this professor.
This prof. was probably one of the easiest profs I had while in school. I took. He gave us discussion questions, unit questions, and an exam weekly. He is not a harsh grader, if you do get marked down, he will let you know why. He grades assignments super fast and gives feedback on everything. If you have any questions, you can always reach him!
This was a late start semester course which was very fast paced. The professor was generous and accepted late work with the opportunity to still receive full credit. No extra credit but he is very responsive and answers questions quickly if you need clarification. There were discussions, homework questions, term paper, and exams. Would recommend
Pretty easy online course. Professor gives access to all work for the semester, so if you wanted to, you can complete the course early. He also gives a late period to turn in assignments. If you keep up with the work and submit by the deadlines, you will pass this class. The only issue I had was his assignment description and titles were so long.
He was very responsive to emails and showed a genuine interest in his students' success. He was always available and gave us enough time to complete assignments without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, I highly recommend him for his dedication to his students and ability to convey the course content effectively.
Very straight forward class. Read and follow the syllabus. Reach out to Professor if you have any questions, he provided his cell number and responded very quickly. Lots of reading but it was work at your own pace which I appreciated very much. Very informational class and I really did learn about laws and the judicial system. Highly recommend!!
Professor was great! his online class was straight forward not a bunch of homework but be ready to take your time on them because they are time consuming. In order to get a good grade you just have to put in the work that simple or else you will be behind.
He is caring, very understanding, has genuine interest in students, Offers great feedback. Returns emails quickly. Gives you access to himself out side of hours incase you get stuck. online classes are pretty straight forward, give yourself time to do work. I will make sure to refer Professor Carl to future students in need of this type of class.
Took Professor Pentis in the Fall, it was a short term course and the amount of work was doable and very interesting. He gives great feedback and is willing to help and make sure you have success in his classroom. I would definitely take him again!
If you're looking to pass Business 18a completely from home, Professor Pentis is your top pick. I didn't read any of the readings and did all the work at the last minute. Be prepared to set aside maybe 2-3 hours a week for this class, other than that, it's super easy. You do have to get a textbook, but it gives you the answers to everything.
Professor Pentis' class was straightforward with a fair workload. The assignments and exams were manageable if you stay on top of the readings. Unstuck study was a great study resource alongside the textbook. Overall, a solid class that I'd recommend.
Most of his class was just completing quizzes and discussion. The weekly discussion must relate to that week's chapter topic. Tests are really easy. IMO, Easy A!
Professor was easy to work with. Instructions were clear for all assignments and Quizzes. Recommend.
