Very nice and funny lady! She makes class fun and really wants her students to do well. Take her class for sure!
Class was fun and really laid back, it was a summer class however. Class has an oral presentation, a 4-5 page paper on a legal topic, 2hours of court attendance and 1 test. I would for sure recommened her.
She made the class very interesting and fun. She really wants her students to do well and get the material. I would take any class that she is teaching.
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
Way good teacher. Class was a lot of fun. She shares real life examples. This teacher rocks!
Great Teacher! Really understanding of Student life and accomodates students within reason. I was AFRAID of taking this class until I got there. She makes it interesting and fun. She has a great sense of humor! She is hot.
I took this class before and quickly dropped it and I had to take it this semester. She is awesome I was afraid of this class she has made it so fun and I have learned alot!
I felt like this class was the biggest waste of time. I didn't learn anything and still got an A on every test. If you want an easy class, take it. If you want to learn something, don't. I felt like I could have taught better than she could!
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.
This class is so fun. She has fun assignments like going to watch court. Her tests are really long but you get a cheat sheet. I would definetly try to get this teacher. She is really funny too.
This is the best teacher at UVSC. She goes out of her way to help everyone. Very pleasant, great examples, just makes the class fun. Two tests, presentation, court attendance and a 4-5 page paper, but she will help you all the way. I'd take every class from her if she would teach more classes. Great Teacher!!
I had a tough semester, and finished my paper at the last minute (almost literally), but she still gave me a grade based on my effort, and she made class enjoyable and informative. I never felt uncomfortable about speaking with her, or joining into the class discussion.
A great teacher! You learn a lot if you put in the effort. She makes class fun without the stress. Just take the class from her. You won't regret it.
I would recommend this teacher to anyone. She makes this class fun and very interesting. You have 3 tests, 2 hour court attendance, and a 5 minute EASY presentation. She is awesome. Take her for this credit.
Didn't learn much but not a bad "survey" course. The professor is nice.

Great! I highly reccomend her.
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. I would definitely recommend this class if you want an easy A and if you are not planning on going into Law someday. It will not challenge you. The tests are open book and open note, so read the material and you'll do fine.
she is a really nice person and makes the class fun. the only thing is that the test r really long but u only have 3 of them and she takes attendance which is one of my pet peeves in college. u can only miss 3 classes before ur grade drops, so make sure u go to class. other than that i recommend her over all the other teachers.
I found this class to be very informative and useful. Carolyn gives clear examples and explains legal principles well. This class is not difficult for those that put in the effort. I highly recommend Carolyn!
Great class. Easy A. Holds detailed reviews for each test that you would be a fool to miss. The blue book is not necessary, we used it once. Tests are long, but are open book and note. Will help you and work with you. One presentation, two hours in court, and a lot of extra credit. Easy A!!!!!
You have to go to class to get an A. If you miss more than 3 times your grade starts to get cut. She gives great test reviews and gives you the answers to every question. Tests are open book, open note. If you get anything less than a B+ in this class you seriously suck.
Love this teacher! She makes learning interesting with all her stories. Take her if you can. If you have her in the fall you might have a halloween party!
THE BOMB TEACHER! She explains thoroughly, gives great story examples that are in the test. Just read along in the text book, take good notes, do the extra credit and you cannot go wrong.
Best teacher ever I recommend her. Very helpful and kind.Helps each student.
She is a great teacher. She made the class fun. I would recomend taking this class from her. Tests are hard but they are open book. Just highlight the book well and it will help
Business law couldn't have gone better. She is so understanding, on top of things, and relating to the students. EVERYONE should take her class.
Very knowledgable. It was a pleasure to go to class. Cares more about you learning then you trying to memorize a bunch of principles from a book. Tests are open book and open note; however, the tests are not completely easy. But she adds points after each tests. A really great teacher.
She was a great teacher. Very entertaining and taught the subject very well. The class wasn't filled with a lot of business work, which is always nice. The tests are open book, open notes, but they are still time consuming and difficult. Going to class definitley is a must!
Easy class to get through, lets you use your notes on your tests. Class is fun and not very much homework
She is fun ans sassy. She has good test reviews. Her tests are open book and take a long time. I spent over 2 hours on some of them and still only got c's.
Very laid back, gives you plenty of opportunities to improve grade and to succeed.
Carolyn was a fun teacher who was insanely easy. She doesn't even use the textbook, and will allow a note card for the tests. So keep good notes, type them up and print them to a note card for an EASY A.
Makes a boring subject fun!
Very hot. Easy enough.
She was an awesome teacher. Made learning VERY fun. I didn't ever want to miss class because of how interesting she made it. Tests are open books and notes. Take good notes on the day of the review and you'll do good on the tests. I recommend this class! Textbook is West's Business Law UVSC edition.
Don't take her Law and the Paralegal class summer semester if you want to learn anything. We really didn't do anything all semester and so going into higher level classes you will be behind. Easy A but useless if you want to continue in legal classes because you start so far behind.
She is awesome. If you want to learn a ton make sure you read the book. She goes through the content of the book fast. She is super fun and one of the coolest teachers I have ever had!
Great fun!
Fun class, enjoyed learning about dispute resolution. Her mom is better at teaching some of it. Exams were take-home and assignments were easy essays. Great class, but could be better.
Best class I ever had! She teaches very well. Tests are open book open notes but still challenging. She makes the class fun and interesting and she knows her stuff.
This teacher is so hot. She is kind, beautiful and cares about every person in her class. She never talks about herself, but she is totally accomplished.
Really a great class and really an amazing prof.
Mrs. Howard cares about each of her students. She makes you feel like you are her only student. And she is very nice to look at - holy smokes.
Carolyn Howard is an extremely successful and helpful professor. The class was extremely easy - - open book and notes for tests - - and fun. Howard is a practicing attorney and has personal experience with a large number of topics discussed. 5-minute presentation and court attendance required.
Very easy class.
Mrs. Howard is wonderful. The class seems easy to some students because Mrs. Howard teaches so well. She makes you feel really smart. She is beautiful. I have never seen her be unkind to anyone. She is very humble considering all of her accomplishments. I actually thought the class was kind of hard. The tests are hard.
Professor Howard is one of the nicest people I have ever met. You can tell she has a big heart. She is devoted to a good cause. She is also very gorgeous. Whoever is with her is a lucky man.
Miss Howard has a great sense of humor! She is hilarous!! Class was challenging,and I learned alot. Perfect lady. Very Pretty.
Great Teacher! Makes it very interesting and practical in every day life! Highly recommended.
Absolutely wonderful lady! Carolyn Howard is 100% fine, beautiful (WOW!), and extremely sensitive to other people and warm hearted. She is kind to everyone. How can she be so accomplished and so young? I heard she is a beautiful and famous latin dancer too, although she would never admit it cause she seems a little shy about her accomplishments. G
Beautiful Professor. On a scale of 1 to 10, Carolyn Howard is an 11. She is absolutely kind to everyone. She's extremely smart and down to earth. Everyone loves her. She is very hot. It's easy to pay attention to her cause she's nice to look at.
really cool teacher. would definitely recommend
HOLY HOT professor! She's beautiful. She's smart and kind to everyone. She has an awesome sense of humor. She can make fun of herself, but be serious at the same time. Hot woman! I'd take it over and over just to look at her.
Ms. Howard is awesome. Her class was interesting, and fun at the same time. She requires a fair amount of work, but will give you all the tools necessary to complete the task. She has an amazing knowledge of Law, and can inspire anyone to be an Attorney. I recommend this class to everyone!
I have known Miss Howard for a few years and observed her. She is a very kind person. She puts other people before herself. She has a wonderful sense of humor, is a very positive person with a big heart, and good-looking. A great package teacher and person.
What can I say about Prof. Howard that has not alrady been said. Her class was very encouraging for those who want to practice law. Through her own experiences she is able to add to each class lecture examples that help the class. I would recommend her for any of the classes she teaches. Her classes are very structured. You will learn and have fun.
This class has been my favorite. I really like learning about the legal system, and she is a way good teacher. She requires enough from you to make you learn, but also easy enough that you will still want to learn and not get bored. If you need to take business law, take from her. Way nice and was always a fun class.
Professor Howard is an excellent teacher. She can incorporate FUN and LEARNING together. She has a great personality and is hilarious.
The class was amazing and very beneficial. The teacher worked well with the students and try to keep the whole class involved in discussions and work. I enjoyed the class a lot and the teacher was really fun and exciting!!! I would highly recommend the class.
Great happy professor, she tells stories.She is very happy :)
Great professor. She is an active attorney so she has a ton of real world knowledge, even though she is young. I would recommend her class! Very outgoing, likable personality.
What an amazing Professor! One of the best in the World. She is beautiful, talented and has an incredible amount of knowledge of law. Take her class. She is a great friend too.
Great teacher very nice and helpful, goes the extra mile for her students
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She really interacts with the students and makes the learning environment really fun. The tests, quizzes,and assigments are easy if you come to class and pay attention. UVU would suffer tremendously without her.
She is the Bomb Diggity!!! She really is the best teacher I have ever taken. I would highly recommend her. Take her if you want to have fun and learn some sweet basic law. She's also hot! (Just for fun)
She is SO AWESOME! I would marry her if I could. Best teacher I've ever had, and she is willing to help. We took classes one night a week and she would shorten the class from 3 hours to 1 or so about every time. She's also funny and exciting. I strongly recommend you take her!
She is great by far the best.But do not miss an assignment she does not allow make up's.
She's awesome. Fun class atmosphere. very informative. Great personality and willing to work with students.
I'll keep it simple.." its a simple class"
Prof. Howard is simply FABULOUS in everyway! She is intelligent and funny and completely clear about what is expected without expecting anything ridiculous.Class lasts as long as it takes to teach the necessary info and then you?re done.Makes every effort to help all her students anyway she can. Refreshing and enjoyable teacher to have at UVU
She is a good teacher but pretty easy and if you are going into law you should probably take it from another teacher. If you are going into business then she is the one to take it from.
I recommend Pro. Howard to anyone taking this class. Simple but informative. Fun class atmosphere and is willing to work with you...
WOW!!! AMAZING LADY!! She is incredibly talented, great sense of humor and very kind to her students. She knows the law and has great stories. TAKE FROM HER!! SHE IS GORGEOUS TOO!!!
Prof Howard is an INCREDIBLE teacher who is ALWAYS trying her best to keep the class FUN, but also a learning environment! You never get bored in her class! Ha, if everyone seems tired or its getting close to the weekend, she'll have everyone stand up and stretch! This is the ONLY class where we actually have parties!! YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Caroline is an amazing teacher! She is very knowledgeable, but still easy to understand. Class is very easy-going, and if you do what us asked of you, it is easy to walk away with an A. She listens to students and cares what they think, and tries to keep things interesting. If you can, I DEFINITELY recommend taking her class!!
I really found the class to be a informative, but it was hard to take the class seriously because the test was open book and the homework was so easy. there was a lot of material to cover in a short time so it worked out that the material was covered that way. it is hard to remember all that info. find a way to increase retention
she is really nice and hellpful. it is really easy to get a good grade. she is the greatest person i haven't nevery meet befor
Enthusiastic about the subject matter.
I love her class! She is the best teacher. She teaches with clarity. She is a lawyer so she gives real world examples of the material. I highly recommend her class.
I love her class! She is the best teacher. She teaches with clarity. She is a lawyer so she gives real world examples of the material. I highly recommend her class. take this class!!!
Easy class, but completely pointless. She makes you purchase her book and it is never used. She doesn't plan her lessons and loses students' material. However,she is fun, and you will get an A if you pay attention to the test reviews.
Excellent Teacher. Makes a boring class interesting!!! Go to class and you'll get an A
I love this class. The proseffor is very clear and gives good example for you to undestand better. Take this class with her.

She is a awesome teacher, she makes the class really interesting and actually gets you involved. She knows the material and she brings donuts:) you wont regret taking it from her.
She is one of the best law professors at UVU. Do not take any other professor. She has you attend court and write a paper.
She is well rounded professor one of the best at UVU. If you do your work and come to class you will pass.
Excellent teacher. She is one of the best teachers I have had and makes the subject of Law very interesting. Great stories, fair grading.
Best law teacher at the school.
Law is her profession and love's her job as an attorney and makes her hardwork in lawyering earnest to teach the law. She makes law enjoyable and interesting. Teaches straight from the book,read it and know your stuff and you'll be fine. Book information isn't enough,attend class on a regular basis it's helpful, makes it a lot better to retain info
The best teacher. she is a professional in the law. she makes her class very interesting with sharing her experience in real cases. this class was so much fun!!
Carolyn Howard is the bomb diggity!! She makes class fun and interesting! She always invites guest speakers, has parties, and helps you better your understanding of how the law system works..!! Shes always cheerful and willing to help out ANY student with a complaint or concern.. I LOVE THIS LADY and will remember her class forever..!! THANKS!!!
Carolyn Rocks!! I would highly recommend taking her class. She is very helpful and keeps the class very exciting. I absolutly loved this class!!
Great real world application teacher. Great enviroment. Loved the class.
She is great! Very nice, fun, and knows her stuff. Mostly just lectures from the book during class. The exams were hard! 100 questions, 2 hours each. (Standardized exams in the dept.) Book was very helpful. Gives great test reviews. 3-4 exams-scored on average mid 70's on each. Highly recommend her. She brings treats, gives extra credit.
carolyn is hot. good teacher, and really cute. tests are really hard, but she does what she can to make em easier. wish she taught every class i had to take.
The test are ridiculous but they are department tests and she has no control over them. She does a great job of teaching and a great job to prepare you for the test. If you have to take the class, take it from her.
Carolyn is a great teacher. I enjoy her professionalism and ability to take a tough boring subject and make it fun and interesting. As for the comment below; perhaps your mistake was made before hiring Carolyn, thus the need to hire a lawyer?
Carolyn Howard is an awesome Professor! She has a vested interest in the success of her students and is extremely helpful. Professor Howard was always very professional and has a great understanding of the law. She is also a great attorney who wins lots of cases, especially when the facts are on her side.
Carolyn Howard was an amazing teacher. She was very helpful and shared really good stories during class. I hired Carolyn for a case not too long ago and she did a great job at helping me resolve my issue! She really does know what she is doing!
Carolyn Howard is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a teacher who is comprehenesive and teaches effectively.
Carolyn Howard was a great professors. she told from the text and was very clear in the teaching of the topics.The homework and activities that are give in class increase the learning. It is a great class. you will learn alot and have a great experince. I highly recommend this class.
Carolyn was the nicest professor I have ever had at UVU. She was so cute, and nice. She was extremely understanding and helpful. She was also very knowlegable in law and our class topic of resolving conflicts. I would recommend Carolyn for a professor at UVU if you have the chance to take a class from her. She is young so she relates to students.
Professor Howard is a really great teacher. While her class is technically a little difficult, compared to some of the other teacher's classes she explains things really well and is always willing to help her students. If you have to take Business Law, I would highly suggest taking it from Carolyn.
Prof Howard keeps the subject understandable and fun. Class was effective because she would prepare you for the tests, which are pretty tough. Do the assignments, attend class and study for the tests and she will make sure that you pass.
This was a very fun class with a lot of good clear instruction and examples. She really knew her stuff and presented it in a way that was easy to understand. What a great assett for UVU. Thanks for making early Saturday mornings enjoyable and informative.
By far the best law professor in the United States! Love her attidude towards students and the way she teaches. She truly loves what she does and is really friendly too. Please do yourself a favor and take her class, you wont regret it! If you study for tests and do assignments you will get an A.
Professor Howard is amazing. She really cares for her students. It was an honor to get to know her.
Professor Howard is great... I am very grateful for her.
Professor Howard is very caring and really cares for her students.
Professor Howard knows her stuff. She's a practicing attorney, and while very understanding, fun, and will do what she can to help you if you need it, this is not an easy class. You will learn a lot while you have a good time.
She cares and she wants you to understand what business law is and she will do everything for you to get good grads.
She is the best teacher at UVU for law classes. She is amazing in what she teaches and has lots of experience that she shares with class. Best Part- she brings in treat every time to class to make the class that much sweeter!! She is THE teacher to take if you want to learn and at a same time have fun in the class.
Carolyn is one of the best teachers. She makes learning fun especially when she brings treats!
She is a wonderful teacher. I am so happy that I have had Carolyn as one of my teachers. She makes learning fun!
Carolyn definitely knew and taught about mediation between conflicting individuals. She is a very personable instructor and made class interesting. You would benefit from taking her classes.
She explained the material very clearly, used real life examples to help you understand. She is extremely considerate with working with students. She alwyas has a good attitude and brings a light atmosphere to class. I deffinatally recomend this teacher over Professor Rhoads! He substituted once he suchs and didn't expalin stuff to make sence.
She is an excellent teacher and I learned a lot in her class and I would take a class from her any day. She always dresses really professionally and cute and is willing to help the students for questions and offer assistance. I would definitely recommend you take her!
Carolyn is very very nice and brings candy all the time and cancels class half the time. It was an easy class full of easy but annoying tedious assignments. I felt like I was in a psychology class talking about feelings so much. She pretended that she was keeping track of attendance and assignments but at the end she just asked us. Very boring.
I loved this class. It was one of the most straight forward easy to understand classes I've taken so far. Her method of teaching is different because she applies what's in the textbook to her own personal experiences as an attorney.
Carolyn is by far the best professor in the Legal Studies Department. Her classes are very informative, and she does a great job bringing outside legal experience into class.
She is a great teacher, very easy to talk to and truly loves her students! Definitely recommend taking as many classes from her as is required.
I love Carolyn! She is an amazing teacher. She always makes the class interesting and fun. She brings lots of treats and is really willing to work with you. She is by far my favorite teacher in the Legal Studies Department. Take as many classes from her as you can!
Great class, Fun teacher. Great atmosphere, class parties and easy extra points
She is a good teacher
Carolyn is wonderful! She is an experienced family law attorney so she knows both what she's teaching and how to teach it. She is extremely helpful and tries to make every class fun, and worth going to. Take this class!
Business Law is not much fun but Carolyn makes it so much easier to deal with. She teaches you the material and gives real world examples to help drive it home. She helps more than any other prof on the dept mandated tests, and she gives extra credit as much as possible. Great Teacher!
This class is much more interesting than it sounds. Carolyn gives you assignments that build your skills and she makes it fun so you actually want to go to class.
Interesting class. Carolyn uses great exercises to help develop mediation skills and provides real opportunities to practice. Class is engaging and interactive. Its a great time.
The class was interesting though I hated the class discussions as they seemed to be more a time filler than anything. She has her favorites, which is fine, what instructor at this school doesn't. Overall, not a bad teacher, though for me personally, I'll do my best to avoid taking any more classes taught by her.
I would recommend this professor for everyone. she did a great job of covering the text. she also makes sure that you are very very prepared for test. she is clear and super helpful.
Carolyn did a great job, she has real-life examples to help make sense of the context surrounding the cases. Carolyn does a fantastic job of keeping class fun and interactive. I have had Carolyn for two classes and would encourage everyone to take any LGL class from her.
Carolyn is an awesome teacher. She takes a difficult subject and makes it understandable. I would definitely recommend taking this class from Carolyn, I don't think that you can find a better teacher!
Highly recommend her, she is fun, you learn and is open to discussion.
Carolyn is a wonderful teacher, she has been helpful and really tells the best case stories which helps us to better understand the material. The class material isn't easy but if your willing to learn and attend class regularly you shouldn't have any trouble getting a good grade!! Carolyn your an awesome teacher thanks for everything!!
Great teacher! way nice when everyday.. knows how to be relax but stirn about assignments. she is willing to help you out with any questions, and loves to get involved. she makes the class discuss with each other which helps learn situations alot easier.
She was a great teacher. She was clear on the assignments that were required, and if you study the material you will do fine on the tests. I hope to take from her if she teaches any other classes.
this class is awesome! she makes learning law really interesting and for a 4 hr class time goes by really fast especially on a saturday morning in the summer. i've really enjoyed this class alot.
This teacher is awesome. She makes law understandable and fun to learn. She prepares you well for the test. She makes sure that you are understand. Highly recommend you to take her class. She is really hot too. Great eye candy
I enjoyed attending her class. Very helpful and competent. Love the candies she brings to class.
She is a freaking awesome teacher. I loved that she shared so many of her cases that related to what we were learning. She made the text more applicable. She is very clear with concepts and does a really good review for tests. This class has made me look into going into law. Highly recommend her.
Tests are pretty tough but she gives a good review the day before. Attendance mandatory but she makes class fun. I was in her summer. In class assignments. I recommend her to everyone taking law.
The tests are difficult, but she makes the class fun and interactive. If I were to take another law class, I would def take it from her because she is willing to work with her students and her classes areventertaining. *She also brings candy to class.
Fun class. Carolyn really helps you understand the subject, and she is very helpful. Tests are extremely hard, but she helps a lot with her reviews. You CANNOT miss class otherwise you get behind, plus she gives you a grade bump if you don't miss any lecture.
Wonderful professor! She knows the material well and shares personal experiences that are very applicable. I recommend her.
She is a great teacher that knows what she is talking about. She is working as an attorney, so she knows what she is talking about. I heard that this class was hard from other students who took it from different teachers, but I thought it was fairly easy with Howard.
Great professor who is looking out for her students. Definitely would take another class from her. She is helpful and always finds a way to make the subject matter interesting and engaging!
She really does a great job of helping students. Tests are difficult, but she does great reviews. Assignments are easy and helpful. Great Teacher one of my favorite.
Course is fairly difficult, but exams are straight from the book. Prof. Howard comes off as a little ditsy but knows her stuff. I think her being ditsy is her way of simplifying difficult legal concepts. She tries to help with your grade with extra credit, and really makes class fun.
Carolyn is very professional and highly knowlegable in the law. She has a very clear understanding and gives lots of examples in the law. She is very charming and has a great smile. She is very sweet and gorgeous. I recommend in taking her classes from her. You wont be disppointed and you will gain a clear understanding of law.
She brings candy to class everyday and goes through the textbook exactly. Doesnt really offer insights for the tests. She doesnt write the tests so she doesnt know whats on them. The book is a must.
Best teacher ever! So funny and makes business law as fun as possible. Extremely helpful and cares about her students.
Very funny and always smiling. Tests are extremely but are made by the department. A MUST to come to class because she gives GREAT reviews and insights into the test. Brings candy and has a few class parties. Also easy powerpoint group presentation. She is definitely best teacher to take this class from!
Always on the mark with teaching the proper concepts. Makes the class enjoyable, and prepares you for the tests. This is a must have class, and she is a must have professor. If you take it from anyone else, you will regret it.
Awesome teaching style, great personality. She really brings things to light, in a fun and exciting way. If you don't take her, you will regret it for sure.
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. Her grading is loose, which will probably mean good grades for all of her students but it doesn't create a good learning environment
I wouldn't take it from any other teacher. She was absolutely phenomenal.
She is awesome. I've taken two classes from her now and is one of my favorite professors. The fact that she stays so upbeat while practicing family law with all the drama and stress that brings is amazing. She is knowledgeable on the subjects she teaches and always willing to give her students extra help if they need it. Highly recommend her.
Take this class over the summer if possible! she was super easy, almost no homework, and tests weren't hard just long (she says they should be fast and easy but they take for ever!). she is easy on grading. Summer semesters are easier because they are not department tests and she just asks questions about what was discussed in class. Take her class
Where do I even begin? Carolyn hands down is my favorite teacher I've ever had, here's why: -She's has a funny laugh (in a good way), her laugh makes you want to laugh even harder. -She's kind, she'll help you in any way and make sure you succeed! -She's very organized and not a lot of hw besides reading. -She explains the law in a clear way.
Carolyn does an excellent job. She is a lawyer, so she able to apply the principles she teaches. That makes her lectures a lot less boring. The tests are somewhat difficult, but she does provide you with a study guide and will go over many of the concepts of the test with the class. Make sure to take notes. She also brought doughnuts quite often.
Class was very easy because of the amazing reviews. I didn't really learn much though. She really just prepped us for the tests that were written by the department. If she was able to write her own tests I am sure she would be a better teacher
The tests are hard, but as long as you attend class and read, you'll do fine! Highly recommend her! She shares awesome stores in her lectures that help you really understand what's going on.
There is a lot of hype about Carolyn, but I didn't enjoy her lectures. Her teaching style was sporadic and not directly focused on what would be tested (tests are department wide tests). Four tests, case study, 3 quizzes, and going to court is essentially the class. Not my favorite class, but if you want an easy A take Carolyn.
Incredibly easy professor. Carolyn was VERY clear with what she wanted from her students. She gave an oral test review and a written test review every time. I would just overview my notes from the oral test review and take the test. In class quizzes open book open note. Difficult if you don't go to class and take notes but her reviews are amazing.
You want this one vs the others! The best way to learn is to read and study book. She does want you to like her, so she does help out. She also does know what she is talking about and is prepared. You will do less in her class than others, so take it from her if you want to have the best chance for an A. Don't miss classes lots of info there!!!!
It's a shame the department issues the tests and not Professor Howard. She does her best to prepare you for the test, and you learn a lot and she makes the concepts easy to understand through personal narrative. Some test questions are just very poorly written, which she acknowledges.
Great teacher, it's just that one can only take so much Business Law in 1 hour. She gives great oral reviews for the final. She says that everything on the review she gives is in the test, but there are always a few questions from the textbook that she doesn't go over. If you want an A make sure you read the chapters in the textbook.
I don't get the big obsession over Professor Howard. Sure, she was a good professor and her class was a cake-walk, but I didn't learn as much as I had hoped. It seems like she would teach us one thing then we would be tested on a completely opposite thing. But, I was happy to get an A without stressing too much, so that was nice :)
Solid professor! I was very impressed with her teaching capabilities. I learned a lot about business law and how it relates to my major. She gives you all the necessary tools to be successful. If possible, do yourself a favor and take Business Law during the summer semester. It's not nearly as rigorous as the fall and spring semesters.
Awesome teacher! Helps you learn and is an easy teacher so it's a win-win! Knows her stuff since she currently is practicing as a judge and lawyer. I would take another class from her no doubt!
Im not sure whats with all of these positive reviews. First, I must address: She is nice, funny, laid back. Thats undeniable. The problem is What we learn in class, what we review AND what we review on our own time has VERY little to do with the tests. Ill study for hours and get 70s. Maybe she curves, I dont know.
Carolyn Howard is amazing however the class itself is terrible. The tests that the school puts out are impossible to pass. Such a poor system they have. She does all she can to prepare you. If you work hard you will get an A though.
Easiest Class ever! 3 in class quiz's open book. She gave everyone 10/10 on two of them. 4 test's that are mandatory/written by the department that are stupid, but she gives you a great review. She is hilarious and makes a really dull subject fun! She is a judge/Lawyer and shares stories every class. Take this class from her you won't regret it.
Super nice. Very grateful for the help she gave me, I wouldn't have past her class without her. BUT!!! Her lectures are stories, which was okay but I didn't quite understand what was being taught in class. You do have to read the text book which is hard to understand. Adequate professor, great person.
She is a nice lady, I'll give her that but she is very unprepared for class. The first three classes we went over the syllabus multiple times. She does give many examples of family law but not a ton about business law. She is a judge and it is scary to think that someone like her is making legal life changing decisions for others. Easy class.
Howard is nice, she has been teaching at UVU for over 10 years. So she did not prepare much for the class. What I don't like about her class is I don't know what grade I get till the end of semester, because she won't use Cavas. She gave review a week before the test, so read the book and take notes on her reviews, you should do well.
Means well, but she's a little disorganized. The class itself is supposed to be hard, but she does everything she can to make sure you get an A. She doesn't write the tests, so those are hard, but she'll throw out questions she doesn't like. It wasn't hard to get an A, but I don't feel like I learned a ton. Nice lady, but she could make it tougher.
Most helpful class I have ever had. Basically every class is a lecture from different people around different industries telling their stories. Its all about learning how to talk to people and how to get your career path going. Carolyn cares more about her students than any other teacher. TAKE THIS CLASS. Two page paper every week, not hard.
This was an easy class, but no clear grading criteria. Just make sure to talk to her about any issues you have and you will get an A. Really an easy class, just don't miss the test prep classes and if you score low on anything or miss anything talk to her and she will most likely let you make it up or find a way to give you points.
Judge Howard is an interesting professor. She knows about the law coming from a family of lawyers & judges. Pretty disorganized, but class is easy with test reviews (she brings the test & tells the questions). Her lectures are simply reading out of the textbook. Easy, but didn't learn a lot. 4 tests, 1 case study, 3 Quizzes, 1 E.L. assignment.
I don't know I mean yeah she's nice but I feel like I didn't learn anything in her class. The class average test scores are always in the mid 70's. I'm assuming she's curving it? I have no idea because I had no idea what my grade was in that class till the end of the semester. She's the only night professor that teaches this so good luck.
Professor Howard is the best teacher. She genuinely cares about everyone and wants you to succeed. Practically every week is a guest speaker that shares insight on how to be successful. I loved this class.
80% is the average-high of test scores (all legal tests have tricky wording, she admits it). Studying for tests isn't bad at all. I recommend typing quickly every word she says during the test review or just recording it. Do that and you won't need to read the text for a good test grade. She rocks and is a judge, so good stories. No busy work.
Took 4 tests (multiple choice). She gives a good review so just make sure to take good notes during the review session and you should be fine on the tests. Took 3 in-class quizzes (open book). One engaged learning assignment. One case study writing project (can work in groups). Gives good law examples in class from her experience. Would recommend!
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.
Carolyn is by far the best option for this class. She gives great verbal reviews before tests and the the assignments are ridiculously simple. You don't really have to be in class for lectures, if you read the book you'll be fine.
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.
She is a very nice teacher, but not a good one. I felt like I did not really learn the material, and because the tests are not made by her, I felt underprepared for them each time. Perhaps an easy pass, but not an easy A.
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.
Carolyn was the nicest lady. She was always available if we had questions. She would respond to canvas messages very quickly. She made it very clear what was needed for the class. 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.
She is the nicest lady! So understanding and cares about every student. The class is only lectures. She doesnt use slides so it is hard to take notes. Take this class from her!!
I was going to take this class with another professor but after the first day, I realized he was too tough. I LOVE Professor Howard! She is amazing. She teaches simply and makes it so every student can succeed.
Super sweet and doesnt require much other than participation and paying attetnion to the study guides. Gives a lot of extra credit options in the form of a 1 page paper of a law topic. Would take her again.
Carolyn is seriously amazing. She wants her students to succeed and is the best professor I've ever had.
She was a great teacher. Really fair grader. I took the online portion and enjoyed it. There are only a few assignments and then open-book tests. Highly recommend her online class.
She is very clear with her expectations for assignments and exams. Class was pretty easy. Just read the material and you'll breeze through it.
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!!!
Professor Howard is a great teacher who makes the material very clear. The class is mostly lectures, but she provides helpful study guides to prepare for the exams. Unstuck study and the textbook were great resources to supplement her teaching. Overall, a manageable and worthwhile course.
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...
