My recommendation is if this is to complete the global business requirement at ASU is to choose another class! Due dates and expectations of assignments are all over the blackboard site. It feels like you are deep sea fishing in the Mariana Trench for the due dates within the syllabus.
Tests are extremely detailed. I'm talking under the microscope no page left unflipped. Memorizing terms will not get you a passing grade. Spend more time memorizing random facts. If you come across an irrelevant fact, expect it to be on a quiz or test. Tests are generated off a random bank of questions. You will learn the material.
I wouldn't recommend this class to any one. If you need an upper division elective and are contemplating taking this class, I'll make it easy for you -- DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. His tests are VERY detailed and unless you have the book in front of you, you will fail. But its a webcam, lock down browser closed book and notes. Hey, DONT TAKE THIS CLASS
Don't take this class. His tests are really difficult, and he uses respondus with webcam. His tests are closed notebook as well which makes the tests impossible. Just take another class.
The exams are very detailed, and what's awesome is that he makes the final exam 30% of the grade (what a nice guy) so even if you try so hard, in the end it doesn't even matter. If you get stuck with this class, get the online textbook so when you take the quizzes (which are open note) you can use ctrl + f.
Alright, I survived this course. It was not so bad, just make sure you read the material. Utilize quizlet and use their test feature. I gave up on the online review material videos, I focused on memorizing all of the terms instead. Study the chapter review, read the chapter, easy B, difficult A since 30% of your grade is on the final. TaughtMyself
The information is very well laid out and straight forward. The tests and quizzes are not easy, and the tests are locked down browser wwebcam - no notes. If you read and reread, you can adjust by semesters end to do well. Not an easy A by any means, but is easily passable if you put in the effort. You will learn the concepts in this class.
Summer Course: Class was difficult, but I would take it again as a full semester. Make time to read and study. other than that the class isn't that bad
He's a very friendly teacher. He'll answer emails quickly. As long as you fully read the chapters, the tests are not that bad. IMPORTANT: the book is about $70 cheaper if you buy it from the website he gives at the beginning of the semester instead of the ASU bookstore.
Definitely cares about his students and will respond to questions in a timely manner. If you read the chapters you should be able to get an A in the course.
Dr. Clark was such a great professor. He has traveled the world and applies what he has learned into this international business course (which is really great). I would take him again. A tip for this course, go to his lectures and ALWAYS practice your learnsmarts. It is a great way to study. He is very approachable. I will miss his class.
My class was online. It was very well structured. A lot of reading. Expect about 6 hours per chapter. Thats what I averaged. Online study quizzes helped prepare me for the test. He was quick to respond. The text is loose leaf. I suggest you get it bounded (e.g, Kinkos). You will be using it a lot!
He is a great teacher, is always willing to help. I took this class in person, but all powerpoint online, so you don't really need to show up. Weekly homework and a weekly quiz. All answers can be found online. Pretty easy class.
Chris Clark is extremely helpful! While this class is a lot of work, he does everything he can to be there for you and help you. The tests are curved and he gives good feedback on everything you are confused about. Great class!
MGT 302 online is very easy. The weekly quizzes are not on the lockdown browser so you can easily google the answers and you can take quizzes twice and only the higher grade is counted. Test are on a lockdown browser, but if you watch the lectures while following along in the book you'll be fine, plus he curves all the test and drops the lowest one
A lot of reading for this course, but the teacher is nice. He curves the tests and drops the test with the lowest score.
Basic online class. Do the assisted reading. Takes about 20 minutes if you click "Read about this" for all 40(ish) questions every week. The quiz is online and most answers are online as well, if you didn't read the chapter completely.
Overall this class was good. There is a lot of reading. He curves every single exam and also the global assessment(very time consuming). Learnsmarts each week are a piece of cake and the quizzes are not too bad. You get two tries on quizzes and he drops you lowest two. He also drops your lowest exam but the final is mandatory. Take this class!
This is my favorite class I have ever taken. I learned so much and it really kept me engaged as well. He is a great professor and goes above and beyond for his students. Don't be afraid to reach out to him.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Quizzes and Test are extremely difficult. Lots of reading and at the end the information is not even on the tests. Test are locked down no notes no book and the time limit is 60 minutes for 50 questions. Please save yourself the time and money and take another course.
He is a very kind and caring professor. He is fair and sincere in grading. I really respect him.
This class was not bad. His tests are somewhat in depth, but they are always curved. The nice thing about this course is that you can get ahead on the LearnSmarts if you have time. There is plenty of opportunity to get extra/full points, just make sure to do all the easy points such as the quizzes and the LearnSmarts.
3 Exams, drops one. Earlier comments say he asked questions about specific things, but he doesn't anymore. It's mostly definitions and major concepts. You have a LearnSmart and Quiz for each chapter. He started doing a study guide after the first exam and that helps a lot! Study that and listen to lectures for exams.
This class is not too bad. Weekly homework and quiz and 3 tests and a final, and one big quiz. He drops your lowest test and curves the tests a lot. A lot of material to remember but the curve really helps.
He's hands down the best choice for an international business class at ASU
This guy's ok. He'll lecture (ramble) for the whole class period, which gets boring and hard to take notes. Assigns a lot of readings. I liked how he curved all 3 tests, and dropped your lowest score. He said he'd curve the final, but didn't cause the class average was too low and my grade dropped significantly. Not happy about that.
You will be asleep by the first 5 minutes of lecture. The exams are 50-60 questions and there are 4 exams, you can drop 1. the rest are quizzes found on quiz let and learn-smarts. Busy work and very very DRY AND BORING. have fun taking this class, because I didn't go after October.
Professor Clark was an okay teacher. It seemed as if he was not interested within the topic. All of the test questions were straight from the book and slides. Extra credit was given. Test reviews were helpful, making the exams fairly easy. Also, he curved the exams, which was super nice!
I took this class online and it was pretty easy, mainly self teach. Every week there is a quiz and a learnsmart. He is very accommodating when needed. Tests are really term heavy. 15 point extra credit opportunity and curves test. Drops 1 test (not including final) and 2 quiz scores.
Nice teacher, not a difficult class. If you do all the Learnsmart assignments and quizzes you will be fine. The class has 3 exams and a final, he will drop your lowest exam score and he curves the grades. Learnsmart assignments and quizzes are always due on Sundays and Exams are Mondays from 7am-7pm.
Undoubtably, one of the worst classes in the business school. Nothing but throw-away knowledge. Waste of time, and money. Sorry Clark. I'm sure you're a nice guy but this class was piss-poor. Just a heads up- he won't curve the last test, while the rest are curved. So be sure you study super hard, and don't rely on his curve for padding.
Majority of the class grade comes from weekly quizzes and the "Smart Learn" homework which took me about 45 minutes to do each week. In order to pass the exams, you HAVE to watch the lecture videos. However, most of the exams are curved. Class layout was simple, just really had to know the material when it comes time to the exams.
Fun professor with really interesting lectures about mediocre material! If you study memorizing the terms and concepts you'll be fine. He gives incentives to ask questions by giving students shirts, granola bars, razors, and other random stuff that sponsors him. And he wrote his textbooks, so make sure to read (easy reading) and use the online book
DO NOT TAKE LES305 ONLINE AS AN "A SESSION". Professor Clark is a decent enough professor but his A session class is ridiculous. He assigns multiple long chapters to read weekly. He has easy quizzes for every chapter. He has tests every other week which are terrible. The test questions are impossible to answer having read the chapters. DO NOT TAKE.
Chris Clark is generally a good professor, but his law tests are extremely difficult because they require straight memorization of entire chapters, which are already long. I recommend taking this class when you have an easy semester so that you actually have time to focus on it. Other than that, good class!
Professor Clark doesn't give feedback and doesn't care for students. He's very boring, not knowledgeable on the material, and does not communicate with his students. Tests are nothing like his material and he gives nothing to you to prepare for them. DON'T TAKE. I understand that it's an online course, but he should be able to respond to an email.
WOW!!! one of the worst profs in the business school. DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Piss-poor job. Doesn't know his own material. DRY and Boring. Doesn't care about students. No time.
He has a monotone voice. Nice guy but boring and disorganized. DON'T TAKE.
Given it was an 8-week course, the readings were extremely hard to get through. Homework is easy given you have unlimited tries, except the readings don't really prepare you to examine cases... Tests are unnecessarily detailed, so it's hard to know what cases to look at and remember. Responds fast, just unorganized and not helpful with grades.
He gave curve to the first three exams. For some reason, he didn't give curve to the final exam. P.S. you can drop one of the lowest except for the final. :( He is not making any sense
Lectures are good and are a comprehensive review of the reading. Drops and exam and a quiz so you have some leeway. Exams reflect quizzes but some questions are just really nitpicky. Professor himself is fairly easy to deal, just the usual hurdles with an online class, but he makes a good effort.
I think he may be a new professor. His lectures are not very helpful towards exams. You must go to class to get participation. There is a low of homework that will not help on the test. Test preparation should consist of figuring out how to use your phone to google or something, these questions are related to the text, but feel impossible.
Worst professor at ASU. His lectures are long, boring, and do not go over anything covered in the exams. He doesn't give a study guide for any of the tests and expects you to know what to study. He doesn't respect online classes because he only allows you to take exams between certain hours on certain days which conflict with many student's work.
He's awful. If you can avoid him, you gotta do it. The reading is ridiculous, there's no study guides. Instead he throws you into the first big test with extremely difficult questions, many of which you might not have even covered in the readings. Then when students complained on the discussion board, he took it down : )
I think he's really trying his hardest, but the tests are impossible. The lectures do nothing to prepare you for the test. It's impossible to get anything better than a 70%, and then he has to curve it. He took down the discussion board posts because so many people were complaining. I think he's a nice guy, just horrible at giving tests.
Don't believe the reviews. Take this class seriously - read the material, watch the lectures and do the homework and you will do fine. The exams are NOT unreasonable compared to other classes I've taken. Prof. Clark is a nice guy and is responsive and helpful. Would have appreciated a longer window to take the online exams though.
Terrible. Exams are so far off from the weekly material. Often takes days to reply, doesn't offer feedback on assignments even when specifically asked, often took down the discussion board for days at a time. Material is scattered/disorganized, no study guides, strict exam dates with specific time windows. A lot of memorizing, very little learning.
Clark does his best with a dry subject that requires a ton of memorization. The recorded lectures give a good overview of the chapter, but you must read to get everything. My biggest gripe is that the tests can be a bit nitpicky, so it can be hard to know what to study for and minute details can easily change an answer.
There are so many assignments (quizzes, Learnsmarts, etc.) that it will definitely help you out if you are not a good exam taker. The exams are incredibly difficult, but if you can get at least a C on each of them, the amount of other assignments will definitely raise your grade to a high B, or possibly an A-. Choose another professor if possible.
I liked Professor Clark, I think he knows this class very very well, but it is incredibly tedious and reading-intensive. I liked the online aspect, but take VERY detailed notes. The exams are nearly impossible to get a good grade, but thankfully he curved most of them. This class itself is hard, prepare to put in a lot of time and effort.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR, you will regret it! I am a 4.0 student and I barely got an A- in his class despite spending tons of time studying. The material seems fairly straightforward until you take the actual exams, which give insanely specific questions that no one would know the answer too even with a firm grasp of the material.
Ace the quizzes, do the work, fail every test, and still get a passing grade.
I took the hybrid class and thought it was alright. Clark's in-class lectures were sometimes funny other times boring. There was an assignment and quiz for every chapter. 3 exams (1 will be dropped), and a final (can not be dropped). Exams are specific, so I recommend reading the chapters, and taking notes while watching his online lectures.
There's really no way around buying the book or reading it, sorry. I took the hybrid class and every week there is chapters to read, a lecture, and learn smart homework (super easy) and/or a quiz. You don't have to attend class but you get 5 points for attending. He curves all 3 exams except the final, drops your lowest quiz, and allows one absence
This is a law class so there is a lot to learn and the technical things matter. You MUST read the textbook if you want to pass. Prof Clark explains concepts really well though so make sure to watch his lectures every time. He also gave a test review video before big tests - watch it. Professor responds quickly to questions and knows his stuff.
This is an ethics class and he is a lawyer. Critical thinking is just a cool term used here. Follow the instructions, precisely and you'll be fine. Don't let actual experience or subject matter knowledge get in the way. Lectures are dry but effective. His humor is just as dry.
MGT 430 (Negotiations) turned a class on Negotiations to a time management excercise. The class is designed to trap you into missing points. Every assignment is due at different times and different days. I wont even talk about the demeaning attitude clark gives. The content itself was great and I did learn a lot, but the class format is the worst.
Too many assignment and quizzes. Wasted me plenty of time on reading textbook and doing with assignments. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read over 100 pages each week in the textbook, four homework assignments and quizzes each week. The tests are literally impossible to pass unless you can remember the most specific questions from the book. Literally bomb each test and ace the easy homework and quizzes. You can get an A- by still failing each test. Bad professor, please avoid!
This class isn't as bad as you think. He knows his tests are impossible and he will give you 25-35 points extra per test. There is a lot of reading to do, but i just watch the lectures. Homework and quizzes are most of your grade which are very easy. He's very responsive to emails and very knowledgable. Fail the tests, get A's on everything else.
This professor assigns an UNNECESSARY AMOUNT OF READING, HOMEWORK, and QUIZZES. His tests require detailed memorization of over 120+ pages of reading. After extensive studying, he gave me a 939.5/1001 A-, in the class. Takes 940 points to get an A. He refuses to curve final grades even 0.5 points. My GPA dropped b/c of 0.5 points. Thanks for that.
LES 305 is not an easy class. It is not designed to be an easy "A", and you have to put in a lot of time and effort if you want to be successful. However, Professor Clark recognizes the fact that the tests are difficult (he does not write them himself) so he provides lots of other opportunities for points, and he even took the time to review my exa
I took this class online and it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. The tests weren't the largest part of the grade and there were test curves (not on the final). Most of the grade was learnsmart work and quizzes so it wasn't too bad!
Each test is consistently curved at least 20-35%, which shows me that students are the exams are not well-made. Previous students have mentioned this issue on here and that's an issue to me because it's a problem that is known, that has continually been left unaddressed. Honestly don't know what I'm paying for here.
The class is not nearly as bad as you might expect it to be. An A/B is possible on tests without even reading all of the chapters because he curves them so much. He drops the lowest score. Tests are only 30% and homework/quizzes are EXTREMELY easy and make up the rest of your grade. If you do those, you should have no problem. Plus he is nice!
After reading the rate's on this page I was terrified for this class, but his tests are nowhere near as bad as everyone is making them seem. You just need to allow yourself enough time to study for them. I finished all of the homeworks early in the semester because they do not really help with tests. His lectures are also extremely helpful to watch
Tests are difficult and a little nit-picky, but you can easily fail them and still do ok in the class. There are 3 tests (drops the lowest) and a final. Tests are curved a ton and only make up 30% of the class. The rest is homework, quizzes (2 attempts), and 2 assignments which you can earn 100% on no problem. Final is the easiest of the 4 tests.
There's is a lot of reading. It's not bad if you plan your time accordingly. Majority of your grade is McGraw connect readings and quizzes. You have two attempts to get 100%. The exams are worded tricky. It's not uncommon to nearly fail every exam and still pass the class. He curves them based on the class average. (Do your best though.)
Homework assignments and quizzes were easy. Tests were a little difficult but the professor curves the test grades. Extra credit also offered!
Homework was pretty simple and straightforward. Two tries to get a good score on each quiz, drop lowest score. Exams near impossible but graded on curve, which helped greatly. Drop lowest exam score. Receptive to communicating with students. One extra credit assignment offered. Difficult exams were the worst part but I still got a good grade.
Professor Clark is a straight forward instructor, you are told what is expected of you & how to pass. Do your work it's that simple. Do your Learn Smarts/Quizzes; you can easily pass this class. He really knows his material and knows how to teach. You won't fall asleep in this class. The exams are a little bit hard so study! He does drop the lowest
Taking LES 305 with Professor Clark is great! There are 2 required books but reading them is not necessary to get a good grade, just read the PowerPoints and youll be fine. There are online assignments and quizzes for each chapter each week, but they require almost no effort. Exams are a little tough but only count for 30% of the grade.
Yes, the exams are hard, but they aren't impossible. Professor Clark is extremely knowledgable and knows that this course in challenging, which is why the exams only account for a small portion of the grade and he offers extra credit. He's very approachable and willing to help, and if you put in the work and the time, you'll do just fine!
He has 3 midterms, lowest one drops and he curves anywhere from 20 to 30%. He does not curve the final, and would not give my 89.96% a 90%. I feel that's all you need to know about Prof Clark.
I am retaking MGT 302 because of a tough semester in Fall 2018. I can't believe how amazing Professor Clark is with his students. Not only are the homeworks helpful and relevant to the exams, but I truly felt like I have learned more in this class than I did all of my Junior year. He respected that I had a dental emergency and pushed my due dates.
I'm really interested in law and I was very excited to take this class! Professor Clark's class is very interesting if you have interest in law, and honestly the class is not super hard. Do the work (and in advance, especially the LearnSmarts since they take some time) and you will be fine. Exams are somewhat hard but only worth 30% of your grade
This class was super easy. There are a couple of learnsmarts and a couple of quizzes that need to be completed weekly. They are not difficult, just time consuming and tedious. The exams are proctored and online. They are open note/open book and he lets you use another device/computer when taking the exam to access your notes and the book.
I loved Dr Clark! It consisted of weekly homework and quizzes with the homework, a yellowdig post, and some exams. These weekly assignments are easy 100% grades. The exams are exactly what's on the homework and it's open note. If I could do anything different, I would've taken better notes while doing the homework! Great professor.
Prof Clark is very knowledgable but his class is extremely difficult. The exams are like level 600 law thesis', 50 legal questions in 60 minutes is a little much for a 300lvl course. However, he's very accomodating and wants you to succeed. Homework and quizzes are easy, yellow dig isn't tough, exams suck but they're the worst part.
This course was extremely demanding and the instructor was inflexible and not responsive to reasonable communications about grades. The grading was unclear with yellowdig as all assignments are combined into one so if you miss one you won't know unless you manually calculate each week. The tests are very difficult and unreasonable. He is inflexible
Overall, he is a nice professor. Although the course is dominated by your test grades and there was little help offered when confused or if you need help. The assignments are easy A's but do not contribute a whole lot to your grade. The tests are open note/book but the questions are a little tough.
Not the easiest person to communicate with via email. The exams are difficult, but he does allow oepnbook. Make sure you complete the Yellowdigs each week, and make sure the points are correct to you don't lose out on any. He wont allow any grade changes after 3 days of completetion
Overall good class. I'm a Bus. Law major so I learned most the material in previous classes, but if you are learning this kind of stuff for the first time it can be difficult. Had to study a lot on the last two test to do well and read the textbook as well. Also, if you take it B session the class moves very fast. Clark is just okay & forgettable.
I had enrolled later than usual to professor Clark's class and the content was very intriguing. However, there were a few aspects of his Canvas classwork that made it impossible to access, so what should one do? Contact the professor. I emailed him and the response was embarrassing, he was very rude and unhelpful, I dropped the class immediately.
Took the class 100% online and if you are looking for an easy A, LES 305 with Clark is your answer. Notes allowed on all tests and the question break up for each test is about 10 questions from each chapter. 3 exams and 1 final, drop lowest of the exam scores. Homework is tedious but easy and as long as you take semi-decent notes class should be ez
He is a GREAT teacher who does what he can to help, which is a great amount. He truly sets up his entire class up for success. Read the book, take notes, GET THE LOOSE LEAF BOOK as exams are open notes / open LOOSE LEAF BOOK! The structure of his class is easy to follow as well. He always gives clear expectations so we always know what is expected.
Tbh, it's a dry class. Dr. Clark teaches things clearly. You'll need to read to get ready for the tests.
Loved this course and professor! I learned so much, and the materials provided helped me succeed. If you read and turn in your assignments on time, you should get an A. Professor follows the syllabus provided and the grade breakdown is clear. Would take it again!
Professor Clark so far is the best professor I have ever had. On multiple occasions I reached out to him directly and he helped me with what I was confused with. He went an extra mile every time to make sure I understood the content.
Lowest 2 quizzes/homework are dropped, 1 exam dropped. The exams are HARD! They are open note/book however. Buy the book in addition to the ebook provided since the physical copy is allowed on exams and the etext isnt. Ask questions since Prof. Clark is REALLY ENGAGING. He goes out of his way to help with anything! Great Guy! Extra Credit offered
Is extremely difficult to reach. And when he replies via email he says things like, you should have asked in a public forum. I'm not going to inquire about a grade in a public forum. I'd avoid at all cost.
He is a nice professor and he is very helpful especially, if you need help! I am glad his exams are not worth 75% of the grade. His exams are worth 30% and final is worth 15% but he drops 1 lowest score. They are timed for 75 minutes. Quizzes are worth 15 points they are 20 questions timed for 25 minutes. They are several fun activities where you p
Terrible, terrible, really terrible - both class and professor
Class isn't hard, but absurd amount of assignments. I'm not done with the class yet, but in two days I have 17 assignments due and an exam. These assignments take anywhere from 15-60 minutes each. I just don't know why he assigns this much work.
The class is a lot of work but if you watch the lectures and do the assignments, you'll learn a lot and do well.
This class is absolutely horrible. He only gives any sort of lecture for probably 1/10th of the material and the rest is entirely taking notes from the textbook and you better take good notes because he will ask for some random specific number that has nothing to do with actual topics on tests. Also assigns 4-5 25+ page textbook chapters per week.
A lot of homework but it isn't too difficult. Tests are open book (only printed materials, not online) so getting the physical copy of the textbook is super useful for exams. Multiple attempts for homework assignments so it's definitely possible to get an A if you print out everything you need for the exams and know the material pretty well.
Professor Clark is a really attentive professor, he always responds to questions quick and is nice to students. Ill admit the amount of reading / notes is a bit excessive, but if you just copy the notes word for word youll pass the exam as he recycles questions. Open note / book tests are a positive.
he's good. i wish he posted more study guides though, he posted only one study guide the whole semester. the test is open notes and open books, however you can only use the book and/or WRITTEN notes, you can't use another device for notes. the tests are okay, if you've read the books (2 of them) and did the hw then you're good to go
First off, the man has zero lecture. He gives you like three videos total in the beginning and never explains anything relevant. You have to read about 60 pages per week and take notes on it. Even the most bizzare of statistics, he wants to know it on the exam. You better know exactly every word in the book, seriously. Get a different teacher.
Assigns up to 3 chapters per week (session C). Read, learnsmart for each chapter, quiz, activity each week plus yellowdig last few weeks. My advice: buy physical textbooks bc you can use them on exams, take great notes as you read and print them out for exams. If you put in the work, you'll be ok. Responds on discussion forum. A+ is a 98, not 97.
I took LES305 online and it was nothing special. There is a ton of online homework and quizzes, so be prepared for that. As far as lectures, there weren't any. The exams were straight forward but sometimes the questions will be worded weirdly. I finished with a B- but I didn't really learn a lot from the professor himself.
No lectures. Be prepared to read and do weekly assignments + quizzes. Three exams (one can be dropped) and a mandatory final. Even though it is optional, I HIGHLY suggest buying the physical copy of the book, which you can use on exams. Other than that, this class is fairly straightforward. Put in the work, and you'll do fine.
He doesn't teach. He just arrange the class and we just do our own reading, the LearnSmart concept assignment, quizzes and exams. I dislike the fact that he doesn't post lectures and such. I don't remember paying tuition to read from a textbook. Buy the physical Ebook, even though he billed us the ebook automatically to our student's account.
This is two classes fit into one class (DO NOT take it as an A or B course). There is way too much material you are expected to know and exams are super broad and difficult. Each week there are multiple readings, assignments, videos, and a quiz every week. It takes a lot of time to do work each week and you do not know how to prepare for exams.
I would avoid this professor just because he only sets up the assignments and tests. He doesn't do lectures or teach. This class really makes you teach yourself. The first few weeks he has you reading 2-3 chapters and doing assignments for each. The tests were open note but the questions focused on the less important details in the text.
While Professor Clark has LOTS of assignments in his class, the weight of each grade is distributed fairly evenly, allowing for a solid grade despite a subpar grade on a certain assignment or quiz. There is a LOT of reading to be done each week. But due to the grading structure, it does not feel impossible to succeed in his class.
He doesn't do lectures just posts a few videos. You need to turn on your camera during the tests. Too many assignments, quizzes, and readings.
Class is so dense/ boring. To do well on tests you need notes, and it takes me hours to read the material and make halfway decent notes. No lecture videos to watch. Lots of assignments and quizzes but they're not worth THAT much. It's possible to do really well, it is just such a time consuming course. Sometimes exams ask obscure questions too.
Continuity between learning objectives and testing is lacking. The reading material is dense, and this class does not help you weed out what is important and needed for testing. Lectures are few and far between, and you feel very much on your own in regard to teaching yourself the material and there is almost no direction or guidelines for learning
Required to turn on you camera for testing and be prepared to read for 10+ hours a week.
Gives out tons of busy work that is nearly impossible to keep up with if you work full time or are taking others courses. POOR COMMUNICATION, makes you pass all your questions through a TA. Gives extra credit but its due in the 4th week and there is no information about the assignment anywhere, so you have to email a TA to know find out.
BUY. THE. LOOSELEAF. You can use it during the tests and as long as your savvy with a index and appendix, you can get away with mostly not studying. There's an extra credit essay and survey, but you have to sign up for it by the second day of class. Expect lots of homework during the week. Hours and hours. Tons of material covered.
Was pretty easy. Make sure you buy the looseleaf book so you can use it on the exam (open book/note).There was also a lot of homework but it wasnt that demanding and only took a few hours per week. He also drops your lowest exam aside from the final. Law in general is boring and Clark made is sort of interesting. Overall a solid choice.
Guide to success on exams: 1. Purchase hard copy textbook (instructions in syllabus). 2. Review quizzes before each test. I listened to the chapters while I did house work, then put in the few hours a week on assignments/quizzes. Ended up with an A+. Don't be intimidated by other reviews. He was also very responsive when I emailed him.
The entire course was reading and taking notes from passages of the online textbook, and going through the tedious 4 or 5 McGraw Hill assignments posted each week. As for the exams, prepare to be asked nothing of your understanding of the material, as you'll be bombarded mostly with "hey remember this?" type questions. Can't recommend.
This professor gives way too much homework and assignments.homework is extremely tedious and long. You have to take notes.if you have to take this class. Buy the book for the exams.reference the quiz questions for the exam.The exams are open book/timed. Exams are proctored. Quizlet is your friend.
Just like the other reviews. Insane amount of reading. Normally 3 entire chapters a week in which each have quizzes at the end. 3-4 graded lectures with questions at the end each week and yellow dig assignments starting at week 9 if you weren't already drowning. Asks Questions on exams pertaining to the smallest details in the cases and readings.
Most time consuming class I have ever taken. Exams are very difficult. 3-4 chapters each week with a quiz for each and a big quiz over all the chapters from the week at the end of each week. Read chapters 3 times to do well on exams. Tons of cases which you will need to know all details. Get ready to work! Put off all classes because of the load.
4 exams, final NOT cumulative. Quizzes on each chapter, 2 attempts/each, tip: review quizzes immediately after & save right ans. That will be your only time to review. HW easy, don't ignore PlayPosit, only 1 pt each but very easy 15% of grade. Get a book or take notes. Material is valuable & totally gotta know if you wanna go into law/do business.
Open hard copy text book and handwritten notes on exam. Managsable exams if you've read the matieral other wise youre flipping through alot of pages. Do not take A/B session if you can avoid it, alot of content and reading due every week. 1 EC opportunity that will bump you up if you're on the cusp. Professor made the material straightforward
Had a very complicated format that is not easy to follow. His exams and quizzes were basically questions he just cherry picked from the reading and didn't follow an overall theme or learning objective so it was really easy to not perform as good even if you studied and understood the overall concepts.
The prof himself is respectful. This class is VERY reading heavy, I spend about twice as much time doing work for this class as I do for other classes, but it is online so I get it. This prof and class is a solid option for LES, the material isn't hard, there's just a lot of info. Respondus exams with open note/book if you have it printed. Timed HW
His exams are open note/book, lectures are short, and tests are mainly based on the book so not too bad. Reading is pretty heavy, a good 1-3 chapters a week and to do well on exams takes detailed notes. If you have the time (2-5 hours a week for this class), take LES305 online. Nice extra credit opportunity and he drops at least one quiz too.
Fairly uneventful class, but the content is interesting if you lean into it - especially the Yellowdig discussions. My exam tip is to print out the quiz questions and some questions from the homework. Those questions will be on the exam verbatim. Lots of little details that will be tested, so it'd be pretty difficult to BS this class.
Very good online class! I felt like there was multiple opportunities to get my grade up. Exams were open note/ open book. There was plenty of resources given to me. I recommend you take this professor for this class!
This was a very time consuming class. I read the book Mon-Thurs for at least 2 hours, this is mandatory to pass the quizzes and final. My final grade was at 90% but I worked HARD to get that. Everything on McGraw hill & playposits are easy grades since you get unlimited attempts but the quizzes are only 2 attempts. The exams & final are difficult
Great teacher would take him again
I took this as an icourse. Not an eventful class. Tests were open book. Wanted to mention, make sure you read the chapters once so you're familiar with the content. Then when you use your notes (I printed notes from the book), you'll know where/what the answers are. Also knowing the main point in the cases he teaches for the test.
Nice prof, answers and accommodates for student needs- moved exam so we could take before or after fall break. 4 proctored exams (your notes only, can use physical text, no online text allowed), quizzes, homework, playpostit. Don't understand why he makes exams proctored if all other assignments are open note- study and take notes or you won't pass
Tests are open note, but they have to be written/printed.
Oh man, there were so many assignments a week. Each week had 4-5 chapters, with large assignments per chapter, plus usually 2 law assignments and a quiz. Professor is nice enough, drops lowest quiz, and allows open note/book (nothing online) for the 4 exams . However, exams are 50 questions with 75 minutes, so you gotta be quick and knowledgable
The good things are that tests are open-note and professor is quick at responding student help. Other than that the class structure is awful. Basically you are being tested on the textbook. It is a time-consuming class with 2-3 chapters per week. No lectures (except for some case summaries), so can't gauge what the professor might be testing on.
Absurd amount of reading each week. Hand-written/printed notes or, preferably, loose leaf textbook allowed during exams. Not recommended.
I ended up not even reading the textbook at all-- just trial-and-error'ed the McGraw Hill homework until i got a vague understanding of the content and averaged an 80% on exams. Final was pretty rough and dropped me to a B+ there is an extra credit opportunity but its quite a bit of work I could have gotten an A if I tried harder
Not too bad of a class. Exams are open notes. If you have the physical copy of the textbook you can use it on exams as well. The exams are fairly difficult. My biggest recommendation is to take notes on the quizzes in McGraw Hill.
This course was a lot of work with a lot of reading needed to succeed. Lots of assignments as well every module and there are 4 different exams. Professor checks in a lot and sends out a few announcements a week. There is an extra credit opportunity offered but it seems like a lot of extra work. Overall, stay on top of your work and you'll be fine.
Actual assignments didn't take very long, but the readings were a lot. The exams can be pretty specific so no matter how detailed your notes are, you will most likely miss information. He did round up final grades.
Very bad communication from this professor. When I would ask very simple questions, he would respond with passive-aggressive comments. Seemed like he wanted to give you a hard time, instead of just quickly answer my question. I would not recommend this professor, choose anyone else!
Well, this wasn't a course I could BS through. Oops. Buy the loose leaf, do all assignments, take notes on quizzes and you'll pass. Exams are difficult and questions are impossible to prepare for. Random and all over the place. Notes and text are your friend. Offers extra credit, but you're gonna have to work for it. Very valuable info tbh though.
Awesome Professor! The syllabus is clear and concise, so you know exactly what will be covered each week. As long as you read the assigned chapters and complete all weekly assignments, you will do just fine! Quiz, midterm, and final are all open notes! Best of all, the course objectives learned can be applied to real life/work.
Christopher Clark seemed to be a great teacher, but his class uses the Mcgraw Hill program (which I hate), and the due dates were very unorganized. All in all, the class was ok, but I feel that there are likely others who do it better.
Professor Clark honestly isn't a bad professor. He assigns 2-3 chapters a week of assigned online textbooks with questions that follow the chapter. He also posts short videos to watch about cases or legal terms. Overall the overall work is not hard, but you do need to make sure you take good notes and read the material to prepare for tests.
There is a ton of work to do in this class. Some McGraw-Hill assignments take a long time and there are multiple due every week. If you read the chapters and do the assignments, you will be ok. Professor does post exam reviews which were very helpful. Overall, you will learn a lot of useful information in this class.
Do the busy work which there is loads of and you'll be just fine. I do think the content in this course was interesting enough to stay invested.
Required two texrbooks be bought but we only used one of them once and it cost me $50. Also messed up exam questions once, and felt like some content was only covered in review slides not in lectures or reading. Test questions also often written kinda confusing.
Tests had wrong questions and had to be regraded but wouldn't be done by the time he said. He also organized canvas weirdly, often putting things due later in front of things due sooner. He also forgot to post the final exam review but said he did. And you had to buy two textbooks but we only used one of them once.
Class modules disorganized, TONS of hours spent just reading and taking notes. Promised to upload exam reviews before the exam and always posted them day of or night before. Took weeks to get him to respond to any questions from students. The final exam he posted a review at around 11pm the night before so I was unprepared.
IF U WANT AN A READ THIS. -hw (get smart book solver extension free and saves u time -FOR TESTS unlimited notes and most test questions are straight from chapter quizzes ( before every time right down every question and answer for each chapter quiz) do this and test should be easy, along w his study review write down all his slides.
For an icourse, it was pretty well set up. Same schedule every week of a Smartbook assignment and some other supplemental things with a weekly quiz. 4 exams, none of them too challenging. Professor posted some lecture videos.
Canvas was very confusing - weeks were split into multiple parts. We used McGraw Hill for smartbook chapters and quizzes. Canvas had videos with questions for points as well as ~2 quizzes and the exams through Honorlock. Physical notes allowed - questions on exam aren't always related to topics in the review pdfs. Extra credit opportunities.
The class material is easy, but the professor makes things really difficult. Only 99-100% is A+ which is nearly impossible for anyone to achieve. He never responded to emails and so I never really got a chance to review my exams/ quizzes. I would not recommend taking his class.
The Professor is a fair grader and even awarded points when necessary due to a few confusingly worded questions. The only thing you have to do is complete the assigned reading, the homework and you will definitely pass. The A is definitely doable.
Would never recommend this teacher to anybody. He was extremely unorganized, provided 100 pages of reading and multiple videos every 2 weeks followed by an exam. Would only provide us with a study guide one day before the exam was scheduled. When asking questions, he responded in a rude and passive aggressive manner, like the answer was obvious.
Lots of work it's not super hard but it is very time-consuming. Over 80 graded assignments in this online class. Honorlock tests but allows any printed material if you wanted to print the whole textbook you could. Short lecture videos to watch and answer one question afterwards. I'd take him again.
Lots of assignments. 4 exams, many quizzes (allowed 1 lowest score drop for both). Open written notes (I'd recommend buying the physical copy of the textbook). Kind of unorganized, but the course was put together relatively well. Content is interesting. The A+ is close to impossible at 99-100%. Nice guy, go to office hours if you need something.
4 exams. A LOT of reading material from smartbooks, if you takes notes (which you should for exams) they can take forever and you have multiple of them each week + Connect activities, quizzes, yellowdig submissions (after 3rd week), video lectures. It's pretty easy class but time consuming. Had to buy another book for class and only used 1 ch.
A lot of people in my class were confusing the course's difficult content with his inability to teach. He was a great professor, his lectures were great and he offers many opportunities for you to raise your grade. The class is interesting but its tough. Thankfully Prof. Clark is a helpful guy that genuinely wants you to understand
Professor's lectures were interesting and were helpful when learning cases. Book is mandatory and has a lot of information. Open note exams. Professor is nice and responds to student's questions. Would recommend him for Business Law.
The class is easy. Open note exams, with some of the questions coming out of the homework. The problem is that Clark SAYS you can contest questions, but he won't really respond. I found questions that were outright wrong in Melvin, and when I brought them to him with cited evidence, he never changed my grade or finished the conversation.
Take notes while you do your SmartBook homework and you will be set for the open note exams. That being said I took 56 pages of notes this semester so, and I can not stress this enough, TAKE THE C SESSION!!!
LES 305 (iCourse)-- Clark's class is fine, lots of Smartbooks and lecture materials. The content is not hard; there is just a lot to remember. He is NOT accessible outside of class. Doesn't respond to emails, join scheduled Zoom meetings, or follow up with students. No communication with students for ANY reason.
Like other reviews have mentioned, some of the questions were clearly incorrect, and Clark was never willing to fix them, even though he claimed he "welcomes" challenges to quiz questions. Other than that, the material is super dry. He made a few videos going over some important cases, but didn't have any on the lecture material.
Clark should have a 4+ rating easy this class is easy. Open notes exams and lots of homework that takes some time is easy A's that is about 60% of grade.
Honestly, he wasn't a bad professor at ALL. he did grade heavy meaning you had to study for most of the test/exams. I finished the class with a 69.90 something where I needed a attendance credit point and I emailed him and ask if he can rounded my grade he said no. So do your iclicker just in case your in this situation.
What's an email?
McGraw Hill is the worst part of the course simply because it was time consuming, but everything was open note, so if you have detailed notes about everything covered you should be fine. I actually ended with a B+ (89.4) in the class, but he rounded my grade up to an A- without me even asking. He will push back due dates if enough students ask.
Professor Clark doesn't respond to e-mails. He's only available during office hours, which is only one hour each week...so, 8 hours for the course. A few of the Melvin quiz questions have wrong answers keyed, so, you'll never know what to expect, and he doesn't review them. He offered my class extra credit, but unsure if this is normal or not.
