The content that Howard taught throughout the semester was sporadic and only marginally correlated with the tests we were given I didn't do very well on the tests and still got near the highest grades on them

She's realy funny and enjoys teaching this subject! She is very well educated in this subject and also very ratiaonal! Attendance DOES matter, her two tests are tough, but she makes them much easier with such good reviews and helpful hints! This teacher is for students who don't need to be taken care of and baby'd, she tells you what you need to do, and you just need to do it. Pretty easy

She is an easy A, just go to class, and get your in class presentation done and the tests are easy. She lets you use a 5x7 notecard with the tests and on the final you get to use a neighbor to help you plus another 5x7 card. Plus she's good to look at.

She is a very good teacher, but a little too easy. I was mostly bored by this class. She did a lot of reading from the book.

The tests are open book and open note, so read the material and you'll do fine.

Professor Howard is charming and witty. She gives reviews prior to the tests that match the test closely. Come, listen, and tape the reviews and you will do well. She also lets you have extra credit in the engaged learning that really helps your grade a lot. Other professor is ten times more difficult for no apparent reason.

Show up to class and pay attention. If you read the chapters assigned, then you'll get an A. Just understand basic concepts and she'll explain everything thoroughly in class. You have court attendance where you have to write a paper. If you can, share a book or have someone take pictures of the pages she assigns to read, easy!

I took this professor based off of the reviews... she was okay. Not bad, not great. She was nice enough and obviously knew her stuff - but her lectures and the tests were on opposite ends of the spectrum. I tried to contact her 5 times and she never responded. Just be ready for no homework (YAY), but LOTS of studying, because she wont teach much.

Very disorganized. 3 pop quizes and if it wasn't for those I would have never gone to class. Repeated multiple class periods just because she forgot what she had talked about. Use the book and test reviews from other professors. On our first test review instead of reviewing she showed Brian Reagan for 30 minutes cause she was unprepared to review?

Pay attention to lectures, she explains clearly what the book is teaching. No homework, but you will need to read the assigned chapters. She does a review before each exam. HELPS SO MUCH. No other professor does that for legal 3000. She knows her stuff, you just need to be willing to listen and learn.

Carolyn is the ultimate professor. She really cares. She knows her stuff and is able to communicate it with us. The tests are departmental and she tries to teach to the tests and give good reviews. You have to go to court and turn in a paper. Would definitely take her again!

Take this class! Only graded by a few things. Go to her test reviews and you'll do good on the tests. She knows her stuff, she is a judge. You have to go to court and write a small paper. You could get by without the textbook or share with someone in the class. Super nice lady.

I felt like the class was a waste of time. The tests are departmental so she doesn't write the tests. She does a great review before each test so make sure you at least go to class on those days. The case study and engaged learning were doable. The court hours were a waste of time, but necessary. She doesn't not answer her texts/emails ever.

Ms. Howard is the best kind of presenter. She took the focus off of the grade and made the class more about learning applicable information. She made law seem interesting, which made the class much more enjoyable. I almost never felt like I was wasting my time in her class. Definitely take her class if you have the chance. You won't regret it.

She is a great teacher & is caring. I recommend reading the full chapters, focusing on the terms she goes over in class, and focusing on her study guides. Her study guides are helpful but they wont cover the whole tests. 4 tests + final. Tests are worth 65% of grade. No hw just a case study project & another assignment. Rent the ebook its cheaper.

Cares about students, gives real life examples (she's a judge), couple extra credit pts, and does a verbal review before tests which are SO helpful because they are dept. tests. Grade1 Case study, 4 tests, 1 engaged learning. The required 2 hrs of court time was fascinating and helps apply the material. Take business law from her. Took Spring 2019

She is a very good person and professor. If you show up in her classes, you will get an A grade. She made her own exams, and these exams are based on the class materials she covered in the classes. Her class is easy, and she teaches so well because she is a judge in Springs, Utah. Her summer class included two exams, attendence, and court write-up.

This class was super insightful. Professor Howard gives a lot of personal real life experiences in class which I thought were super insightful. Attend class because the tests are based off of legal terms that she talks about in class. Grading is all based on the tests. She does do a good study session the class before a test comes, GO!!!

The department designs the tests not her, and she does not give clear instruction and gets off topic a lot. She really seems like a nice lady, but she does not effectively teach what is expected of you on the tests. She also does not seem to challenge you with her style of teaching. So you think it is easy until the first test. Take someone else.

Professor Howard was a great teacher. She is extremely caring and understanding especially in 2020 with the challenges of zoom classes. Its mostly lecture & if you attend and participate youll do fine on tests. She writes them herself and they match up with class almost exactly. There is essentially no homework aside from a term project & reading

Carolyn Howard is an excellent instructor. There has not been a more accessible or caring professor that I've encountered. The way she structures the class makes difficult material very doable. A lot of reviews mention a test written by the department, but our exams were written by Prof Howard and catered to what was covered in class.

I loved Professor Howard. I signed up for her Face to Face class but it turned into live stream because of COVID. She made everything very clear and wanted us to pass. She gave us study guides and page numbers to help us prepare for tests she made. She is helpful and always available for questions. She's probably my favorite teacher.

This is a great professor! She was VERY lecture heavy. No power point slides or board used, only her words. This sometimes made it hard to understand a few of the terms she was trying to teach us. Other than that, her class is very easy! Especially for non Law students like myself.

The whole class is a lecture but is very easy to pay attention to. I have ADD and I've never been able to pay attention as well to any other class than hers.

Professor Howard is THE BEST! I just took her buslaw class (Fall 2023) and she is the only professor to take it from at UVU. Her lectures are really fun to follow and she brings the textbook to life. You don't learn a lot from reading, rather watching court cases in class and talking about fun stories she has. Take her class!!!

This class is easy to pass but I finished the semester without learning anything. Class attendance matters but whenever I went, we watched the same 3 videos almost every single class- it's ridiculously repetitive. There was one day where we watched clips of a comedy show which was a massive waste of time. Future law students, I'm sorry...
