Very clear and straightforward! Open book exams except they are essay exams!!

Keep your attention with his dry humor. Funny guy. Open book test!

Very funny and interesting

Open book tests, no oral projects, no papers, and interesting

Very good professor. I learned a lot and had a good time. Funny and cute!

Great and easy teacher! Tests are easy, open books, notes, and anything else. He is hilarious.

Smith is a very funny guy! And I guess he is kinda cute in his own weird way. His class is pretty easy if you take good notes! His tests are open book and notes, but his questions can be a little tricky.

cool class!!!!

He's really good as long as you take notes and read the book. He has an open book test but you can answer it as long as you did your part. Tip: Highlight very important terms on the book and put a tab on the chapters assigned during exams!

Overall, the class is easy. His legal experience makes those boring law understandable. Sometimes he has some weird jokes though. No projects and homeworks, but tests are kind of tricky.

No more open note test's, but he still makes whatyou need to learn clear. He's a fun teacher, total cool about everything, and understanding if you can't make it or you need help.

He's a good professor as long as you take notes and read. He is a strange guy and usually makes stupid jokes. He likes to embarrass people in front of class. You can miss class as often as you'd like, and he could care less.

The class sounds easy with open note/book tests and no attendance necessary, but it still is difficult. However, Smith is the best professor making the most boring law cases fun, plus he is a HOTTIE!

Kick back guy...tests may have been openbook, but still challenging...interest lawyer stories...

Open book tests, but exams are hard. He made the class very entertaining.

I like the class, but I wish you were able to earn more points other than 3 tests and a case brief. funny but rude!

just gotta read the material and you pass. you can even download his powerpoints and study off those and pass. no more open book tests though.

"Gee wiz" "That is just ridiculous" He is one of the funniest professors I have ever had. Very entertaining. I recommend anyone to take him. Exams are hard but this is college.

Smith is one of those professors who you would be lucky to have! Although the subject material can be boring, he tries to give students some humor. Open book tests, no attendance policy, and usually out of class early. Not too shabby.

This class is pretty much common sense. He is kinda nerdy and sarcastic, but a great teacher. Print out the powerpoints to go along with him in class and do the case briefs on time, and you will get a good grade!

Great teacher,looks just like Tom Hanks.Tests can be hard but it's open book so you just have to take your time and read the questions carefully.Relates a lot of his own experiences and are quite laid back.You can't go wrong taking him.chau

First of all... DONT BUY THE BOOK. All you need to do is print out the power point presentations. Everything from in the tests are from the powerpoints. He says his tests are hard, but they are EASY!! Just memorize PowerPoint and take the practice exams

Take him! He is very helpful and quick with eamils. Power Point is very helpful. Take notes of all his examples in calss,and you will see those again in exams. 15 pages term paper is too long for summer class. He is kind of cute.

Take his class, especially for mgmt 518 (Legal Env. of Bus) becuz it's a boring subject. He makes the class interesting and the group problems make the class less boring. He know his stuff, interacts w/ students, and is very funny.

A business law instructor with a JD. What a concept! Don't miss this opportunity to study with this fantastic professor. Tests are fair as long as you actually pay attention and want to learn something. Contribute to class discussions, it can only help.

He is a very intelligent man who makes an honest attempt to make the class interesting by cracking jokes here and there and getting students involved. Learn overall theories and not specifics. Participate!!!

The BEST. You don't need the book, just the powerpoint slides. Study the practice exam and slides for the tests and you'll be fine. Grades are based on a curve too yay!

He is a lawyer so this class is very informative. Great teacher, not serious at all and looks like Tom Hanks. His tests are hard but can easily get an A or B if you attend class and read the book!

Funny guy, he keeps you awake.

Stimulating lectures & GREAT examples. Love the humor.

fav quote: "Just think what you learn in this class"

Great professor! I learned a lot in his class without reading the book. Pay close attention to his examples he gives in class cuz it would be on his test. One of the best teachers i've ever taken.

Not an easy class. Attendance is important to pass the exams. Don't buy a book, because you wont need it. Exams extremely hard and tricky- muliple choice, but all choices seem very similar. Get you confused. Maybe 5 A's in the class, most grades are C's. Take him if you like law and funny professors

Lectures are interesting, and keeps the class going with his humor. The exams are really tricky though because there can be two answers on the multiple choice that are very similar or one answer is slightly better than the next.

Great professor - funny, intelligent, good twisted examples. Show up and participate - it's 25% of your grade. Get the book - exams are open book and can help in a jam. Just don't call him Chuck.

Tests come straight out of in class lectures/powerpoint. Go to class and pay attention--plus he's somewhat comical

class is somewhat easy but da tests are pretty tricky, mutiple choice, but it always seem there are two correct answers. so usually a 50/50 chance to get the right answer. hes a nice guy though, tries to make the subject interestin with his little stories. not sure i would take him again though.

Good professor. He's very comical and the class is fun to go to. There are four exams that make your grade plus attendance. Go to class and study your notes and powerpoint slides and you should be fine. I got a 'B'.

Professor Smith teaches well. You need to attend class and pay attention. Don't forget to study from his power point lectures. Study and read each exam question carefully before answering. It's an interesting subject matter.

He is a very good professor.He goes over the material and gives you very good examples to clarify even further. the tests are O.K. all from the lectures. makes sure to take good notes. It will learn so much and he is very funny.

Smith is an excellent teacher. Implements real-life situations with the material taught in class. His tests are pretty hard though, but you learn A LOT from him. If you're looking to butt-slide your way to an A, don't take him, but if you want to learn the material, definitely take him.

Dont listen to 3 guys below me. This guy is a pretty decent teacher. Dont buy the book, and study the powerpoints offline. i got an "easy" B

A great professor, you learn a lot in his class & not just law stuff. His tests are not so bad if you come class, the examples he gives in class are on the test and read the case studies in the book, they help out. Overall he is a great professor and is an easy class.

He's a cool teacher, as long as you go to class! Write down every example he gives in lectures and study those along with the cases in the book and do the practice test! You'll be fine although you might feel like you are doing terrible.

WARNING: His class can be extremely easy. If your looking to get an easy "A" while catching up on your sleep this is the class. His exams are based on his power pt lectures. Finally, if your looking to hook up this is the class. Most of the classes he teaches you will find that most of the hottest girls can be found in his class.

I can't say he's easy because his class only consists of pure exams with tricky multiple choices. As long as you go to class and listen to his stories and examples, you will do well on the exams. Be sure to print out his lectures and take notes on his stories instead. No reading required. He makes really corny and weird jokes and gives out rewards.

His class was great! All you need to do is print out the provided powerpoint presentations, go to class, and add any notes that will help you remember the info. There were rarely any tricky questions on his tests, not if you came to class all the time! He's a good teacher, and besides that a real person with a real life!

Class can be hard if you don't attend regularly. Be sure to take very good notes - his stories, examples discussed in class will be on exams. Also, speak up in class - participation points (~14% grade) could lower you down to one grade.

Cool guy, makes corney jokes but some of them are worth laughing at!

Well for starters hes a cross between Eugene Levy and Tom Hanks, personality of Eugene(The dad in amerian pie. Nice guy lectures arent too bad, its clear and goes along with the book plus he ehes from the power point for good grade just go to class and read setions in book that are on powerpoint slides, he has jeans in every color of the rainbow!!

this ia a gear and interesting class. just study powerpoint notes and write down expamples. his test are tricky so study hard and u will do well. tom hanks rules. i mean professor smith rules

Smith is a really chill teacher that helps those who put in the effort to pass the class. Just don't slack off, show up, take good notes and you should do fine. For the exams just study the notes and the powerpoints he puts up and you should be good. Very nice person and he also likes metal which is always a plus in my book. METALLICA RULES!!!!

Very easy class and you learn a lot. open note tests can be a little tricky. one paper. If you want to meet chicks take this class.

SMITH IS SOOO TIGHT! He makes the class fun w/ his stories... good examples to illustrate the concepts he teaches... Tests are easy to pass if you look @ study guide and pay attention in class. Just show up and listen.. No notes no HARD CORE STUDYING and you will pass no problem...

1) Class Grade Average: Low "C" ( for my class). 2) Exams: Multiple Choice- consist of short story. 3)Grading: fair; however to get full 10/10 pts for participation/attendence; must know your name when semester ends. 3) Have to retake again. Anyway, its better to have a good overall GPA in your business courses. As & Bs so far except this class.

Class attendance is optional and not really necessary if you do the reading and study the PowerPoints. The tests are hypothetical cases that test the concepts learned in the PowerPoints. Not very helpful, but he is funny.

Super Awseome! Funny great professor read the book, pay attention, Easy A

that's because it was his first time teaching 440. BEWARE his jokes are really offensive sometimes. he's harder at law because he practiced law.

Barely uses the book at all. Go to class, listen to the lectures, study the powerpoints and you should be able to get a good grade in the class.

He's funny - it keeps you paying attention... no hw

keeps the class interesting but his tests are tricky. if you go to class then you do not need the book. its a big waste of money.

not a bad teacher

if you go to class everyday, you'll pass and u dun need to buy the book, study off his powerpoint. exams arent that tricky but you gotta understand the concepts. in order to do well u also gotta participate cuz he'll curve u if he knows you. overall interesting class boring at times. would recommend. but u gotta go to class to learn the material!

This class is pretty easy, he just lectures every day and your grade is only based on 3 multiple choice exams and attendence/participation. He's definitely easier to pay attention to than most proffessors. To pass his tests all you really need is common sense, but some questions can be tough if you don't know the concepts. Can do without the book.

dont buy the book. very interesting class, but tests are hard if you dont study. id take him again.

Just show up to class, read the powerpoint, maybe buy the book if you feel like (I did and I read it and it helps a bit). Seriously show up to class, the guy's hilarious!

Don't need book. Powerpoints and lectures is all you need. He's got a sarcastic sense of humor. Tests are hard if you don't study, otherwise just standard multiple choice - and he gives you tips on how to take his own tests the easy way. Cool guy, talks real world a lot.

Good teacher. I didn't read much of the book because his lectures were so good that I didn't need to. Plus I felt that I learned a lot in his class.

This man is one of the best professors at CSUF. He knows his stuff. He's funny and looks like Tom Hanks. Dont buy the book, i did and never opened it. 4 tests all MC, no essays, all powerpoint lectures. Go to class since its all lecture. Trust me it helps.

wut can i say the easiest teacher ever

easy class, super easy, gives u everything u need to know on ppt and do not go to class, maybe just once a week. Got a B.

Funny professor! Knows his stuff VERY well. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED THE BOOK. BUT THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU PLAN TO SHOW UP TO CLASS DAILY! (Why not do that if you can save a $100 or so for a book right?) He curves at the END which is helpful. ALL his tests are 25 ques. and MC! TAKE HIM!!! You won't regret it.

SUPER EASY CLASS!!! DO NOT NEED BOOK JUST GO TO CLASS AND LISTEN TO LECTURE! test r only 25 questions and final is 50! practice exams r very helpful, practically the same questions on the exams. TAKE THIS TEACHER! REALLY FUNNY N NICE!

The funniest professor I have ever had. He will crack you up the whole period while teaching you a thing or two about law. You will wonder sometimes, "did he just say that?" or "is he aloud to say that?" Today was the final and before he passed the test out he said "If you want go choke the chicken before i pass out the tests"haha. Oh and by the w

Yes, he is easy but, his exams are tricky. I wish he had assignments so that our grades would be higher. I barely passed. He lectures off powerpoints & thats basically it. I recommend going to class bc he gives A LOT of examples that are ON THE TEST & they're NOT on the powerpoint. I think students say he's easy because he doesnt have assignments.

he's somewhat easy. your grade is basically 4 quizzes and a final if i remember correctly. he likes to use his ex wife in lecture examples a lot. he's a good kid.

Prof. Smith is very funny and his lectures are interesting. No need to buy textbook, just go to his class and understand the powerpoint and you'll be safe. Gives helpful study guide (example questions from old exams). Cases on the test are sometimes the same as the old exams, only change the questions a little bid. Easy A

Hes a great teacher and great guy.He is so funny and makes every topic fun and interesting.He is extremely knowledgeable knows his stuff.Test can be tricky but just study off the powerpoints and his practice tests and you'll do fine. Definitely attend class because his lecture are useful during tests.His class is fun you'll wanna attend everyday

Easy class. No HW (although there should have been an assignment or two, as it would have helped) and you don't need the book. Study the powerpoints. I took good notes, went to class every day, and got A's/B's on the tests...2 points away from an A and he gave me a B. My lesson and advice: PARTICIPATE, make sure he knows your name, and kiss ass!

Looks somewhat like Tom hanks with glasses. Dislikes white socks.

Prof. Smith's class is great. He is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. He's really funny. Someone posted his class was useless. Whatever. You have to come to class and study. Obviously the person who wrote that comment doesn't come to class or studies and that's too bad beause maybe they would learn something if they did.

Best professor I've had so far! He is real easy going, tells funny jokes, extremely helpful, has lots of experience in the subject, which makes the class much more interesting. All you have is 2 multiple choice exams and the final, they are directly from the powerpoints, not hard at all in my opinion. There's no HW & no quizzes. Dont buy the book!

No HW, just midterms and the final, so study! Did not even crack the textbook. He is so FUNNY and I actually looked forward to his class. One of the best professors I've had in a while. Definitely the best choice for MGMT. Pay attention and go over lectures and you're golden.

Funny professor. Could probably make it in stand-up. Gives real world examples of material from his experience as a lawyer. No hw. Go to class. Study power pts. Light reading. Get an A. Best and most understanding mgmt 246 prof you can take.

Funny professor. Could probably make it in stand-up. Gives real world examples of material from his experience as a lawyer. No hw. Go to class. Study power pts. Light reading. Get an A. Best and most understanding mgmt 246 prof you can take.

Keeps class fun and entertaining while still effectively teaching the class. Gives real life examples to help better understand concepts. 3 exams and a cumulative final. Gives practice exams and uses a lot of the exact questions on the exams he gives so take advantage of that!! highly recommend for mgmt 246

Three midterm exams and one cumulative final. Review old exams and you'll be fine. Lectures are just PowerPoints, kind of boring but he is very knowledgeable and gives a lot of examples.

I took his 7-9:45 class the class we had 2 test and a non-comprehensive final. Class be be a bit slow but attendance is encouraged since some of his examples in class are on the test. I bought the book but didn't use it.

Funny, likes to tell jokes. Real life examples make concepts easy to remember. 7-9:40PM class had 2 midterms and 1 "Final", which was more like a 3rd midterm. Lots of questions from the practice test are on the exams. I didn't crack the book once and still got an A. I looked forward to going to his class and would definitely recommend him.

Nice, test are fair, study the powerpoints and the sample questions, he uses the sample questions on the test. Show up and participate, he gives points for participating.

Prof Smith is a funny guy and overall good professor. Teaches off powerpoint and real life examples. Tests are straightforward but given thats its law,questions are tricky so test can be hard. Attendance not mandatory. Grade is ONLY 3 Exams.I went to class regularly and did some studying and got a C- (not passing!) does not claim or appear to curve

This is a great professor! Easy summer class. If you are a management major take any class that he's teaching. He likes to focus on law. Attend class & participate in discussions and you should do good.

His tests are almost identical to his sample tests but still look over the ppts for "new" questions that he will put on there. Attendance is not mandatory but you lose points every class you miss. Essay was pretty easy and was a group effort if you want. 3 tests, first two are 25 questions with one essay. Last is one essay with 50 questions. Easy A

Very EASY, just have to put a small amount of time to study! Takes questions off old tests. gives pop quizes to see who is attending class. I didnt buy the book, I studied for an hour for each test, I went to class, and I passed with a B+. EASY TEACHER!

Highly recommend. Uses very funny examples from real world. study the practice exams and take notes on everything he says in class, even the silly stories because they may be on the test or help you answer questions on the practice exam. DO well on the first part of the first exam because they will only get more difficult. A++ teacher, take him

He's so witty, looking forward to his class everyweek. Give practice exams so if you do the practice exams, you will be fine

Awesome professor! The first two sections/midterms were based off the same material from his 246 class. The final third is when he gets into small businesses. He's very flexible: one midterm became a group takehome, and he lets you complete the paper as a group as well. I didn't buy the book, practice exams are word for word the midterms.

Don't buy the book, it is waste of money. all what you need to get an A is to attend the class, pay attention, and take notes, review you notes for an hour before the exam and do the practice exam since many question are almost the same. if you don't attend the class, you might fail since most of the question are straight from the lecture.

He is very straightforward. His first exam for me was not very similar to his practice exam. So I would suggest you know the subject matter as well for the 1st exam. The paper wasnt too bad if you get a good group of ppl you should be good. the 2nd exam was exactly like the practice exam which was awesome. So study the practice exam for the final.

Amazing professor! Extremely helpful in explaining law. He gives you practice exams which make the tests a breeze. Smith is also very funny and cheerful, you don't need the book and i'm honestly going to miss having him as a professor. TAKE HIM!

Teaching is very straightforward. DON'T BUY THE BOOK! Must attend class, because tests are based on lectures and the practice exams. Study those and you'll pass with flying colors!

Professor Smith is awesome! He really knows his subject well and make sure all the student's follow the point he is trying to get out by using real life examples. Finds his ways by keeping the class active with his jokes here and there also! Highly recommended!

Take him! Really easy. He makes funny jokes during class to liven up the dull subject. Don't need the book. 4 "surprise quizzes" that you need to be in class for, easy points. Go over the old exams he puts online before the tests. Very helpful.

Seriously Smith is one of the BEST in CSUF! A guy who's also a long time experienced lawyer with a lot of knowledge! This guy knows his stuff and puts them in the most easiest way to understand! You must attend classes and read PowerPoints! Don't buy the book, he's the book! Just attend all the classes and enjoy his great lectures! TAKE HIM!

He is an ok professor. He attempts to use powerpoint in lieu of a textbook(which is great),but the slides move by quickly and are not discussed in depth very much. He can be funny, but at times it is at the expense of his students. Study the practice tests and you'll do fine. Be there for the quizzes, they are easy.

Smith is super chill. Class is made entertaining by the way he tries to get you to interact and sometimes he goes offtrack talking about his life - hes a normal dude. Participate and don't be afraid to be yourself in his class. He keeps it laid back so you feel more open! I'd take him again if he taught any more classes I needed. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Highly recommend smith for Bus Law. Overall a good class, 3 exams worth 30% each. All are based on the lecture + power points. Also gives previous exams as study guide. There are also 5 surprise quizzes, they are easy points and worth 2% of your grade each! So make sure you go to every class session. Don't waste your money on the book!

2-3 exams and a comprehensive final. The exams consist of 20 M/C and two essay questions each. He also has you do one 15pg group paper. His class is very easy. All questions come directly from his powerpoints (which is short!) and the cases he has in his powerpoint. You only need the book to read about the cases.

Cool teacher. Looks, acts and talks like Tom Hanks. 2 Midterms, 1 Final. All Scantron. 5 surprise quizzes. No paper and no hw. Just study his powerpoint and you will be good.

VERY EASY! No textbook, just study lecture material. He has tons of real world, practical experience. Not the most exciting stuff biz law is but it is useful. Gives 5 pop quizzes which basically are the attendance grade. Study the guides and take notes on powerpoint and you will have no problems passing this class. Funny, quirky guy. Recommend! ;-)

Smith is a decent professor in terms of the structure of his class but he spends an entire lecture on 1/2 slides because of his stories. Funny guy, easy tests, project, participation points. Easy pass

You don't need the book. Though, you need to listen to all the lectures! The topic can be really boring, so a lot doze off or they don't show up. He does uses ppts that are crucial to the exam, but because its technical, you won't understand unless you pay attention to him. He gives examples and defines all terms that will be your A on the exam.

Don't get the textbook, waste of money. Everything is on the PowerPoint slides. Class not mandatory but in your best interest to attend. Most test questions based on class examples. 2 midterms 1 final. 5 "surprise" quizzes. No homework! Tests wording can be tricky but hey, it's law. Funny guy, overall good class.

Don't get the textbook. Didn't use it one time all semester. Great teacher though. Only downfall of the class is that there are only 170 points so there is minimal room for error if you want a b or an a.

last semester I had this class w/steven cote and I failed it but this semester I retook the class with this with prof smith and I passed with B. the subject is not easy however, he makes it easy to understand. I had his class @ night but I didn't regret it he let us leave early almost everyday. he spend so much time on one slid which I don't like

Smith is a funny professor, however tends to get side tracked with stories in class. He is extremely helpful in explaining topics if you don't understand fully. If you go to his office hours, he will explain every question you have. Highly recommend.

great teacher, only 2 midterms and 1 final and 5 surprise quizzes, study off his powerpoints and listen to his stories in his lectures for the test and you will be just fine

My favorite class I've taken. 2 midterms, 4 open note surprise quizzes and a non-comprehensive final. I got a B on all of them (he rounded my final grade to an A which was awesome), studied the power point for maybe a couple hours. DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS, questions literally word-for-word on the test! His in class examples are on the tests too!

he is very nice to students, if you don't do good on the exam you can always go to his office hour ask for help. his exams are not every hard, if you read and understand his lecture notes you can get at least B on the exam. take him, he is the best professor for mgmt department!

Great Professor! Very funny and makes class subject more interesting. Attend class because some stuff he says are on the exam.

Straightforward class. 3 tests. 4 pop quizzes to make sure you go to class. Tests can get kinda tough but he likes to copy paste some of the questions from the study guides. Pop quizzes are open note and you can use friends to help. Would definitely recommend.

How to pass with an A 1. DONT BUY THE Book 2. Go to class for the pop quizzes (easiest things ever) they are open notes, book, you can work with a neighbor or just shout it out and he doesn't mind. 3. exam questions come from in class exams so its an easy A and B class. Copy down the examples he uses bc those will come out on test & do studyguide

Is a cool and pretty funny guy. Don't buy the book. Study his PPTs. Questions from the practice exams will be on the exams, if not similar ones so make sure you understand the question and apply it to the concept. Gives six pop quizzes that are easy so don't miss class because those are easy points.

Smith is a good professor. 3 tests 2 of them are 40 question. Last final 50 questions. 5 pop quizzes. U don't have to come to class. But u will miss the quizzes. Be careful. He only has 3 tests. If u screwed up on one. It could burry u alive. And u don't need books. Do go to class. Some of his test questions he talks about it in class. And PPT

Go to class! His examples may seem irrelevant but they explain every term in every PowerPoint. Write them all down so you can study them later! Fun class,very knowledgeable.

He's awesome

4 quizzes and 3 tests, tests are tough, the teachers lectures are not boring and he keeps it interesting.

Took it Summer 2016 with Smith and pass. He gives four surprise quizzes, and they are easy. You get to work with your classmates. There are three exams, and they are rigorous. To do well on the exams go over the powerpoints, try to understand the concepts, take notes, do the practice exam, and go to his office hours to ask for help.

Took it this summer. 4 quizzes and 3 exams. Quizzes are easy. You can talk with your classmates or find answer in PPT. Exams are a little bit tougher, but if you understand the concepts in PPT, you will pass. He is really a good professor and he tries to make class interesting.

Great professor. Took it in summer. 2 test and one group paper assignment. Lecture is interesting but kind of long discussion. overall fun summer class.

This professor was amazing. Smith is a very good pro He is funny and makes the class interesting. I had the class at night for 3 hours every Wednesday at the end of a 13 hour school day, and never missed a class. It was genuinely interesting, I could have ditched without penalty, but I just didn't want to. Highly recommend this professor

When lecturing, Professor Smith provides many examples to help students understand the concept. Write down these examples, as they will be on the exam. The book is not needed, but be sure to study the PowerPoints, write down his examples, and do the practice exams. In order to answer his questions, you MUST understand each concept.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT HE DOESNT GO OVER THE EXAMS. AND HE DOESNT EVEN MAKE SURE THAT EXAMS DONT HAVE ANY ERRORS ONCE EVERYONE TOOK IT. FOUND MULTIPLE Qs THAT I GOT RIGHT THAT WERE MARKED WRONG. Other than that he's awesome.

This class is not easy! Take notes, and write down the examples he goes through in class. Practice exams usually has some questions that will appear on the exam. Make sure to understand the concepts in order to pass. He curved the class at the end, but make sure to pass it without the curve (It's not the same case each semester).

It's not mandatory to attend class BUT if you want to understand the concepts then it's needed. A lot of the scenarios on the tests are said during lecture. Write them ALL DOWN. Trust me. He's really funny but sometimes you can start to fade away. and sleep. But try not to. 3 tests & 1 final. No hwk, essays, or study guides. Just practice tests.

Your grade is weighted primarily from 3 exams. Exams are not cumulative. There are 4 pop up quizzes which are incredibly easy, so make sure to attend class. I think this class is an easy B, but its definitely a bit difficult to reach that A range. Its possible though if you put in the effort, which is essentially reading the text book thoroughly.

LISTEN. TO. THE. LECTURE. All of the examples he provides in class are not on the powerpoints but usually show up on the tests verbatim. Taking the practice tests is essential to doing well on the exams. I found study in groups was really helpful and the questions on the tests are scenarios. Look to the book for more examples too.

Tests are of moderate difficulty but Smith is hilarious. Pop quizzes are easy points. Just read the slides to past the tests. Def. would take Smith again in another class if I attend this school again.

By far the best law professor at CSUF. All law classes at CSUF are difficult, but professor Smith makes law really applicable and realistic. All law exams at CSUF are difficult. If Smith is teaching any law classes at CSUF besides 445, take him. Attend his office hours and you should do fine in any of his classes.

Thought this class would be a lot easier than it is tbh. He is a good professor though I would say. The only thing is he goes off topic so much. He is entertaining to listen to with his heavy sarcasm but I would lose track of the lecture due to it. The tests are difficult make sure you study well for them. He gives 4 pop quizes so make sure you go!

Failed this course with another professor. Throughout the semester he said he would never curve grades, but he rounded off my 79% to a B. He was easier than my other professor who seemed to not teach. Plus his example stories are fun to hear.

Theres a lot of material for business law and Prof. Smith does a good job at lecturing. Hes definitely knowledgeable about law and made it as organized as possible. This class isnt easy but its business law so there is a lot important info. The tests are all scenarios and his practice exams help to give an idea of what hell put on the exams.

3 exams, 4 pop quizzes &cumulative final. His exams are not the easiest but tests how well you know the subject. Lectures are super interesting! To the recent reviews begging to change the grading scale when he already kindly adjusted it.. you just need to study smart not just study hard. Textbook not needed. Best advice is to copy all examples!

I loved Smith and his lectures. He makes a very boring subject very intersting and understandable. There is only 3 exams and one final, and also 4 pop quizes to encourage you to come to class. You don't need the textbook because everything that was on the exam was on the powerpoints, got an A without a textbook. Highly recommend Smith!

This class is an easy A, he makes it so that you can miss a significant amount of points and still get an A. As long as you are attending class for the quizzes and averaging an 80%-85% every test you'll have an A in the course. I got an A in the course without the curve even! STUDY THE POWERPOINTS!

Professor Smith is a great lecturer. He makes material that could be dry, entertaining with examples from his professional experiences in law. This class is graded solely on 3 tests and pop quizzes. He provides you with the lecture slides and practice tests, all you need to do is study and ask him for clarification to pass. Don't need the textbook.

grade only based on 4 exams and 6 surprise quizzes. exams are meant to trick you and he gives quizzes when attendance is low. makes weird jokes to get your attention. dont buy book. study lecture BEFORE class, take notes during, and review weekly, you'll pass. cumulative final so just learn it when he goes over it, don't wait until week of exam.

He is an amazing teacher. I actually learned a lot. His class is 4 exams and 6 surprise quizzes. No hw. He gives you all of the past exams for you to study from. STUDY THOSE PAST EXAMS! Go to his office hours if you need help. His class is beyond easy if you actually put effort and try you will pass. You don't need the book at all. No extra credit.

Pros: +Curves final exam +Easy pop quizzes (Open book) +Some exam questions directly from his powerpoints +Makes dry material interesting +Funny Cons: -Lots of reading -Material can be boring (not professor) -Attendance mandatory for pop quizzes

Solid professor. Really wants his students to do well and succeed in his class. He teaches the content very well and tells amusing stories to help keep the class engaged. He certainly does his part, the biggest problem I had with the class is that the material is often very boring and dry. Always attend class bcos easy pop quizzes will help in end.

Your grade is based on 2 midterms and 1 group paper. He made class very exciting and he was hilarious. I would definitely take him again in a heartbeat. Exams were fairly easy and he provides study guides. Take him!

Go to class, the lectures help a lot! He has great stories to tell and gives many examples to with memorization. Really cool and hilarious professor but only graded on 3 exams and final! Power points and study guides are accessible on Titanium.

Class is graded on a few quizzes and 4 exams. Pay attention to lectures and you should be able to pass. Lecture study over book study. Smith makes you work for the grade but definitely achievable.

Professor Smith is the best teacher I have taken at CSUF. He is very kind and quick to reply to any emails. His lectures are interesting and tests are based on lectures. While the subject is not super interesting, Smith makes it easy to learn with great stories and examples. Show up and listen and you will do just fine!

Professor Smith is an amazing professor, he provided insightful examples within lectures and gave simple quizzes and tests that were very similar to study guides provided. I really enjoyed this class and recommend that everyone take him !!!

Very passionate professor, his lectures can become boring at times, but he always gives examples about what we are learning. He loves to make his students laugh and cares that we understand! Hes funny

The class wasn't bad at all. If you're taking him online I recommend downloading the powerpoints, copy and paste them into a word document and then go to the lecture and write down examples and stories instead of focusing on the material. The tests are all appliance-based so they are pretty difficult. The book is for extra studying though.

The class itself is hard due to the material. Professor Smith only grades by 4 tests with appliance-based questions. However, he curves our grade in the end and is a reasonable professor to work with.

Easy class. He provides all the powerpoints and practice exams. Although he doesn't mark attendance, you should go to class for the examples he gives (on the exams). He is also always available during office hours to answer any questions. I highly recommend Smith!

Mr. Smith is great, rambles a lot tho. I easily understand through his powerpoints alone but he provides examples during his lectures and those are helpful. He has a lot of quizzes, 3 exams. I took online for the pandemic and the quizzes were not bad. Most of his cases were common sense after you learn the vocabulary. Overall, he's really chill

I love this Professor. He was very clear from the beginning about what he wanted from us. There are 2 midterms, 1 final, and 1 paper, each worth 50 points. The exams were pretty easy and the study guide helped a lot. Its all based what he goes over in class, nothing more. I like how he always gives personal examples to explain things.

Professor Smith was such a nice person, and I do not regret taking his course. You are graded by a few things, but by attending his lectures and studying your notes you will be able to pass the course. No homework, just 3 exams. I recommend all business students who have the opportunity to take Professor Smith to do it.

Summer through zoom. No homework, simple short quizzes after pretty much every class. Three exams. Gives study guide and PowerPoints. Uses PowerPoints during class and gives examples of related examples. Three exam versions were done while on zoom with camera. Not open note. Pretty helpful and straightforward course. No +/- grading for MGMT 246.

If you're going to take mgmt 246 here, then I would recommend Smith over anyone else. His criteria is clear and provides practice exams that are similar to the actual exam. He also gives out take-home quizzes which are very helpful when studying for the exam. Take him!

Best professor for this course. 3 exams which were 40 questions. Also gave easy quizzes each week to complete at home. Never read the text book, just study the PowerPoint slides and practice exams.

He discusses practical real-world cases and use of the material being studied.

Professor Smith is pretty chill, and mainly just lectures during class time. He's approachable and very reasonable about questions/concerns. The thing I didn't like was that I had no idea what my grade was until the end of the semester since he applies a fat curve. The class itself was hard but I liked him as a professor.

You get by this class without lecture, but when he is lecturing he tells you examples that you find on the exam. The topics you learn are alot thrown at you but i found it intresting. He has practice exams and answers posted in the begining of the semster that are essential to passing the exam. He cool asf take him.

Smith is a really nice and good professor. He is easy to get ahold of outside of class. He says he wont curve or nothing but at the end of the semester he fixes your grade sometimes. There is only 9 quizzes 3 points, 3 exams-40 points Q's and they r MC. quizzes are taken outside of class and can be discussed with everyone before you submit.

Honestly, the people who said it's hard are the people who don't go to class. In order to pass, you need to show up to his lectures. He uses his power points as study guides and a lot of questions on his practice exams are on the actual exams. Quizzes are open book and he encourages you to talk to your classmates for answers. Don't need textbook

Professor Smith has amazing lectures with real world examples that make the class engaging. Although the test material is difficult if you study you will be able to get a decent grade. He made the night classes worth while.

super chill professor and kept lectures entertaining

The test are VERY tricky. I recommend doing the practice exams and going over them w/ him in office hours. You are only graded on exams which are ALL lecture based so make sure to go to class and take good notes on what he says since pwr points are vague and not enough to pass exam. Textbook is not required.

I thought the class was extremely easy, only 3 exams & easy pop quizzes. To study, just copy his lecture ppts on google docs and when he is lecturing about the topic write underneath the examples. Also do the practice exam a couple times. Funny professor!

take him!! thank me later

You honestly really to listen to the lectures well since this course is rough. There is no homework graded so exams are basically your entire grade. Use the practice exams to practice applying the concepts to make sure you have a grasp of material. Ended with an A but it was a challenging class and he does curve the class based on his opiniononclas

You may get an F on the first exam like I did (many students do) and your Canvas grade may not change much throughout the semester, but don't give up. Go to his lectures, do the quizzes, and do good on the last 2 exams. Once he applies his curve you will pass, but I think the curve percentage depends on how well your classmates do

Prof's lectures can be lengthy, but the examples discussed often show up on exams. The textbook covers more than needed, so focusing on the slides and practice tests is key. Unstuckstudy AI's study tools helped me prepare effectively.

Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will need to show up if you want to pass the class and do well on exams. Class is only graded by 3 exams and 5 pop quizzes, so showing up matters. Textbook is "required" but I never read it. No make-up quizzes, but might provide make-up exams depending on the circumstance.

Funny professor who makes lectures interesting. Attendance is not mandatory but there's no way someone could pass without attending almost every class. 3 exams, 5 quizzes

typical chill white professor that sometimes says questionable jokes. u can survive off of lecture slides if ur rlly not up for class! dont skip majority of classes cuz then those ppl did bad on exams & blamed him. for EXAMS, study PRACTICE EXAM (UNDERSTAND WHY THE CORRECT ANSWER IS CORRECT/WRONG!) +TERMINOLOGY +addit. things he said; PS does curve

try ur best to attend class (even if ur late) just bc he does pop quizzes to try to get kids to go to class. u miss 2 quizzes & ur grade will fall bad. so go to class just for quizzes. in-class notes > lecture slides! he wont accept any exceptions for pop quizzes AT ALL. just trust that he does curve at end of sem bc he doesnt like ppl asking him

Attendance is not mandatory in the sense that it's graded but he does do random pop quizzes which are open book and you can collaborate with other students. The class is not hard at all as long as you pay attention. He tells stories which help a lot with understanding the concepts even if you don't understand how. Very funny guy too

HERE IS HOW TO PASS THIS CLASS IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND EVERY SESSION: - attend every single session until the first pop quiz - believe that once a quiz grade has been inputted in canvas, then the next pop quiz is coming very soon This class consists of only 9 things: 1 syllabus assignment, 5 pop quizzes, and 3 exams (the last one is noncumulative).
