Pretty good. Explains everything very well. You either do well or you do bad in this class.
Her presentation sucks. Though she tells you what you have to know, sometimes its hard to hear her soft voice and her chicken scratch is unbearable. She doesn't write everything on the board. You'll have to have a good note taking skill.
No Comments
The class is pretty hard, but she makes it to understand when you actually asks some questions. The notes on the board and her anecdotes are really helpful in doing the homework problems. I got an A in the class by listening well and taking careful notes.
she is very helpful and she makes everything very clear
Very good teacher, explains everything with great examples. Plus, from time to time is funny.
she is kinda of helpful and sometimes very funny too
Law is hard to grasp but she explains very well... make sure you do the reading... she gets mad when you don't. but with her lesson you really don't need to read it. doesn't always write notes on the board.
she is helpful, and if u do your hw your gonna get tha grade u deserve. Very good presentation.
well, she presents everything very well and if do problems in the back of chapters, then ull be fine! she explains very well, but i still screwed up the class-
This is a hard topic, but she presents it well. Go to class every time and you should be fine.
She's very helpfull, just do your home works and you'll be fine.
good professor... assigns lots of homework and u need to read the book, makes the material clear. Makes you understand stuff and picks on you sometimes to answer questions gets mad if you are unprepared. Overall i'd take her again.
She is an amazing professor. You will actually enjoy paying attention in her class. Leaves nothing unclear. Prepares for the dept. final very well.

didn't like her jokes. terrible grader. also, it wasn't nice of her when she mislead the class with wrong answers.
very stingy.. only thing that is helpful is the lecture slide. this professor favors only those who took her frior 1101 class. since she has tenure with the school, she uses it to annoy the students. not take her if i were you
She is a very nice professor. Explains things well in class and her lectures are not boring. Her exams are fair, just study her notes.
Tough grader.classparticipation is a must . i think she is nothelpful.i was out of class for a month(cuz of an accident) and she was like get the notes from someone else.Like i am supposed to miracuously grasp all the material over nite and takethe test in a less then one week.IgotanA-no thnxto her.
Incrediby helpful
She's very nice and helpful. She doesn;t take many points off if you get something wrong on her tests. She explains all the topics clearly. Assigns a lot of homework and reading but then she goes over it so your not lost. Just know the problems she assigns and you'll do fine.
very good professor teaches u everything u need to know 2 midterms and a final. her notes are very clear and overall recommend her!!!!!! she is one of the bests professors in Baruch
Her test is kind of hard actually. The MC is killer man. Try to take somebody else
She is the best.teaches everything and gives test that youc could actually pass. Defentely take her.
Her lectures is ok... but her test is pretty hard though.... and the MC is super hard!!!!!!!!
Fantastic teacher. Reading obviously is necessary for business law class but she makes it very easy because she goes over the most important parts. She really tries to make a boring subject interesting. Not an easy A but a really hard class to do bad in. If you want to learn and do good take her.
she's fine. u gotta take her class if u wanna learn sth. she explains every question clearly, and the test are easy.
She's okay she wants to much details on her quiz and test so she takes off mad points. She's strict with lateness. Must do the homework and come to class. Focus on the notes.
Funny, interesting and knowledgeable. Will answer any questions that have to do with the material. Gives reviews. And lots of extra credit.
I love her dry humor. The key to a good grade is doing the hw and answering problems in class. Very helpful. Nice person. Don't be late to class tho!
One of the best and hottest professors in Baruch. Not the easiest but gives you a challenge to get the grade that you deserve. I love her.
boring professor, not a nice person, normally has attitude and grills students who are late until they find a seat. tests are moderately hard , do not recommend
IF YOU DO THE H.W. YOU WILL GET AN A!!! B/C THE EXAM QUESTIONS ARE THE SAME AS H.W.
She's very heplful and is very clear when teaching. Tests can be a bit hard but are fair if u study the h.w. I recommend.
Clear explanation, good teaching manner and easy to get an A if you do the HW!
YOOOOO KAMINER IS THE BEST TEACHER!!! THE CLASS ISNT BORING AT ALL, AND SHE REALLY EXPLAINS THE MATERIAL REALLY WELL. ITS A PRETTY EASY A! SHES HOTT TOO!!! JUST KIDDING! SHE REALLY ISNT, BUT SHE COULD GET IT, IF SHE WANTS. BUT DEFINTELY TAKE HER, SHES A GREAT TEACHER HANDS DOWN!
She is a GREAT professor, i've taken her for law 1101 and 3102. She is clear and explain it to the simpliest way. Need to do all probs b4 class would need to get there on time. Recommended.
Honestly, I feel she is the best professor at Baruch. I have taken her for 3 law classes and she has not disappointed me anytime. She is very clear and explains everything well. Also very nice. Recommend to take.
Great professor! Had no problems with her lectures (it's very clear+ she explains it well), I didn't even read the book. Got an A. Do the h/w problems, pay attention in calls and you will be fine! Also, if you participate (answer the h/w questions in class) you get an extra credit. :)
Best Teacher Ever!! You don't have to read the book at all b/c she posts slides that are very helpful & easy to understand. Her tests are multiple choice and essays,which come straight from the HW problems. Explains everything clearly.Go to class, participate, do HW & you'll get an easy A!!
this is for all the slackers out there. there are far better law teachers to get an easy A in. Kaminer thinks that this is columbia university (her alma mater which she mentioned 800 times). she likes the suck ups that sit in the front and laugh at her jokes. she once yelled at me for disrupting the class by "putting on my jacket loudly" if u are l
Take notes, do the homework and you should do fine. Very clear and is helpful in explaining if you don't understand. Tests are similar to HW problems. Your loss if you choose not to do them. Would definately take her again for other courses.
Very good professor, cares if you understand the material. In fact, I am "one of suck ups that set in the front" and I appreciate Debbie Kaminer being my professor. If you look for free ride, why you need business law? Don`t want to study-find a job!
Easy A take her class you gonna love it she is very fair at grading and when you take her test your going to think its a joke because its easy.
Hard class but helpful prof. Got an A.
Guys she will make Law seem real EASY. All u hav to do is dedicate urself. ALways take notes n do da hw. problems (very helpful)..reading the book is not really necessary b/c her notes would cover the things u need to know. However, u can briefly read the chapters so u can participate. She gives x-tra credit if u know da answer!!
the class itself is hard..she's the best coz she explains the material mad good-funny-cares about her students-and will answer questions without making u feel stupid!-if u ready to learn she's all urs--take her!!
Her slides are very helpful, but you need the textbook for homework even she never collects them. Midterms similar to homework, and the departmental final is not sky-rocket hard even though it is cumulative. Study her slides, do the homework - the A is definitely a lock.
she is truly a great teacher, extremely helpful and concise. i loved her class and got an A. All you need to do is take notes, listen, and do the problems and you will get an A
SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! I WOULD TOTALY RECOMMEND TO TAKE HER.
Homework problems given are a big help and she goes over all of them. Make sure her students understand everything. Lots of information, but she makes it easier to understand.
she is great.explains well and make the hard material easier. her exam is based on the homework we did before. highly recommended.
speaks clearly, an interesting subject, especially in context to the constitution od the US.
Prof.Kamniner is awesome...She makes the subject so interesting...I'm one of the lazy one's who nevr did the homework...but went to every class n paid attention when she went over Hm...that's the key n I aced her exams...def. gettin an A. She's inspired me to do a law minor...DEFINTELY RECOMMEND..She's one of the few good prof at Baruch.
I can definitely say that this professor is one of the best at Baruch. She explains everything so clearly and she makes sure a topic is understood before moving on. There are a lot of materials to cover in each chapter and she explains it so clearly. Take good notes because her exams are long (but not too hard), the exam is open book.
Very clear and straightfoward. We had some dumb students in the class but she managed to teach them too (at least that's what I think). Previous ratings are accurate. Very fair in grading. Absolutely no curve. I got an A. You deserve exactly what you earn. The test are not as easy as people make them sound. You need to go to class!
This professor was wonderful and very helpful. She taught the material in a way any one who was paying attention would have learned. She's very funny, although she doesn't try to be. She can be a bit nasty to late students, but can you blame her? Three exams, including the dept final. I would take her again, in fact, I might..
hmm Typical law professor. Overall is ok, not the best though.
She's no Elle Woods (Legally Blonde) but she's a fantastic professor! At first I wasn't anticipating a great class, but give her a chance, she makes the material really clear and I actually enjoyed her class. She's a fair grader, no curve, a quiz, midterm and final. She does like those who participate- it will help you! Overall, excellent professor
the worse teacher at baruch!all exams are very hard and they were not realated to the class. many students dropped from the class after the first exam. she is also an unfair grader...stay away from her if you can...
she is GREAT!!!! best prof. i had at baruch, explains clearly. if you get the notes at class you do not need to read the book. do the assigned problems and you'll get an A. Take her!!
She tries to freak lazy students out in the very beginning. But if you want to study, you will learn a lot! She explains topic very well in interesting form. Understand HW problems and you will do well. Not too much of work, but do whatever she tells you.
She is the best professor I have so far. She is very clear and well-organized. she knows the subject very well. 2 midterms and 1 departmental final
She explains material clear but very fast. Don't be late, she will freak out. She doesn't like students to bring laptops and if you do, she'll randomly pick on you to check if you are pay attention. If you do the homework and know the materials on the slides, you will do fine.
She is so organized, brings exams on time, and clear! I honestly learned from her slides. If your read her slides and study and understand them as well as review hw problems before exams, there is no reason you should not get an A or A-. Make sure you participate as well so she doesnt think you are absent. i wish all my teachers were like her.
Class participation doesn't do anything to your grade. Just do well on the exams.
Very good professor. She's very organized, clear, and interesting. The slides are very helpful, and knowing the material on it should be enough to do well. Don't be late or talk in class with other students though because she can't stand slackers. Overall the class was good, and the tests were not difficult.
she is the best, wish all my prof could have been so good. clear, funny, doesnt give you a hard time for not doing home work. i havent read the book once and so far doing pretty good. dont take anyone else she is really the best!
She's great! She teaches chapter by chapter, explains thoroughly any questions. But must do the hw to be prepared for class which takes only about 20 minutes to do. 2 Exams open book and one group presentation. Expensive book but totally worth it.
Really awesome professor. Makes sure everyone understands the material and the tests aren't too bad. She makes the class interesting and has lots of fun stories. I highly recommend her!
If you take this class, make sure you're on time and do the homework - otherwise you get a 30 minute lecture about doing it. She seams to be going through menapause
I wouldn't say the best, just make sure you come in on time and don't fiddle around with gadgets(Itouch, laptop, etc.). She doesn't have much respect for students and likes to put you down. 3 exams(2 in class, 1 departamental), hw optional but she calls on random people(don't have it? no extra points). Study slides and you need to buy textbook!
Overall, clear and well organized. It's not always an easy class to follow, but the prof helps to digest all the info. Preparing through doing the hw and asking questions really helps! 3 exams (2 + final); don't be late or be challenging, bc she will all you out on it! Not a bad class..
She's a good professor; explains the material well and goes over the homework in class. You get extra points if you answer the homework questions when she calls on you. Exams are fair.
Really great professor, kinda serious and strict but teaches material well, focuses pp slides the test comes from the pp. take notes in class and pay attention she says everything that comes on the test in class.
She's SUPER AMAZING at explaining EVERYTHING. Don't be late to class, do the few problems that she assigns, and you will get an A because really the only thing u need to do is PAY ATTENTION TO HER CRYSTAL CLEAR EXPLANATIONS IN CLASS ! TAKE HER !
an amazing professor !!!!!!!!! definately take her
superb!!!! amazing !!!! She is always there to help you out with any problem you might have...doesn't let you use cell or laptops...but believe me you will always be entertained with her jokes...BEST PROFESSOR!!!..must take her!
I'm taking her again for LAW 3102 after taking her for LAW 1101. Class is taught in the same format, her explanations are still excellent, some more reading required (but not really that much at all.) TAKE HER SHE'S EXCELLENT.
Thought I'd for sure receive a higher grade, but she truncated it. Gets kind of annoyed at kids a lot for asking questions, but she is okay.
She is great! Take her and you will learn a lot. Online book is quite expensive so it is wise to share it.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! Law is a difficult subject in nature, and I was not looking forward to taking this class in the beginning of the semester. She completely changed my mind! Explanations are excellent, which I think is the most important thing in law
She has a great sense of humor and is a great teacher. Very helpful and always willing to answer questions. I was intimidated by the course but she explains things well, just take good notes and do the readings. Start her final paper early.
She is not at all helpful, she expect everyone to pay attention and not have your laptops open. She has major attitude when answering to students queries, can turnout to be really blunt in her answers. I would not recommend her. You will never know when she is serious or when she is joking.. and thats not good.. #notagoodclass
Not a bad class. I found it fairly easy, but I know many didn't. The final paper is a chore, but you can get through it. Debbie will definitely call you out for not paying attention, so if you're gonna zone out on your laptop, make sure you understand what's happening first.
Great professor! She teaches to encourage learning the information. You MUST read the textbook and not be on your electronics in class. 1 mid term, 1 5-minute debate, 1 2-page paper, and 1 10-page paper based on a law case.
Great Class! she is crystal clear. Everything you need to do in order to get an A, she gives during the class. Just listen to what she wants from you; she tells how she wants the paper to be written, she gives you clear instruction for the midterm. No surprises, and that's what I like about her! And very interesting topics during the debates!
Great Class! Very interesting topics during the debates. The Prof. is super clear on what she expects from you. She gives you clear instructions on how she wants the debates to be, on how to write the paper and the midterm. Just pay attention you will get an A! Many Baruch profs fail to be be clear than they surprise on the final. Not this one!
She is a great professor. I learned a lot from this class. She is not a strict grader, so if you work hard, you do not need to worry about the grade.
Open book midterm and final. The textbook is super clear, her lectures are just as easy. Literally the best class ever its a cake walk if you prepare your notes right. Just dont use your phone in class or come in late, she will tear you a new one
Probably the best professor I've had so far at Baruch. Yes, she's strict. However, she has all the qualities it takes to be a great professor. She's only strict because she wants you to learn. The exams are definitely tough, and you NEED to study. Also, do the homework because it will only benefit you.
She takes attendance. Overall I loved the class. There is a group project which can be annoying but not impossible. She usually sticks to her PPT material for her tests so if you don't have book money you can still get a good grade.
Overall, a good class. More interesting and relevant than expected. Prof. gives great lectures and explains the introductory material well to those with no background in law. Takes attendance and factors in class participation. Had 1 midterm (she cancelled the final exam), 1 individual paper, and 1 group presentation. Easy grader.
SHE IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST YOU CAN TAKE. So knowledgeable, hilarious, smart and helpful. It made a lot of people in my class thinking of continuing studying law. She's very serious and cold with students but if you show you're working she'll help you! I will definitely try to take her again!
Prof Kaminer is one of the best in the Law dept. She teaches in a manner for her students to really learn the material, not just memorize. For employment law 1 midterm and final (both open book). Participation and homework is 15% of your grade so do it. She hates lateness and phones so act accordingly. Easy group project also. Must take.
Great professor, very knowledgeable, very respectful. Do your hw and read through the material and you'll be fine. I would take her again for sure!!
Professor Kaminer is great and very knowledgable. I highly recommend her for Law 9000. Her lectures are interesting and her grading scheme is very fair.
Professor Kaminer is my favorite professor at Baruch so far. She is very clear and concise in her explanations of the law and uses very interesting examples that I still remember and discuss with others. I am so sad this was only a half semester course.
althought i was never late to her class, you dont want to be late because she calls you out lmfao. but she has a great sense of humor and i love her!! after the first class with her, it already made me want to major in law!! her lectures are amazing because she gives you funny real life examples to make sure you understand. TAKE HER ! dontmissclass
AMAZING! She has the rare ability to make PowerPoint presentations and lectures engaging, and so clearly describes just how certain law concepts and theories impact business. Excellent at explaining to non-lawyers. Not enough space to adequately explain her - just take her class. I hate it's only a 1.5 credit course! Want more Kaminer!
One of the best professors at Baruch. No need for the textbook, just follow her slides. Very straightforward exams. Prepares you tremendously. Takes her time to answer your in class questions! Highly recommended!
Never missed class and took notes on almost everything she said. By the end of the semester, I had a 32 page booklet compiled of all the notes I ever made, after editing them. Final was cumulative. Read it over a few times and I was good. Got a 100 on both midterms. No surprises, everything from class is on the exam. Don't come in late, trust me.
Great powerpoint lectures. Tests are fairly easy if you take notes and paid attention in class. She explains everything thoroughly and there are no case studies in this class. 2 Midterms, 1 Departmental Final. Lots of homework but it helps with exams. Don't come in late, especially don't come in with headphones. She's funny and entertains herself.
She is very engaging, I'm taking her again next semester as a sixth class because her class is very manageable if you pay attention in class and do the homework.
Intelligent, witty, hilarious and engaging. A professor with completely realistic expectations. I would take her 100x if I could. Listen to her lectures and you'll do fine.
She's an amazing law professor who clearly analyzes examples of case scenarios that help clarify the material. She takes time to thoroughly answer questions, & I understood more from her than from the textbook. Also, participation is part of the grade but she doesn't force anyone to answer questions. Take her - one of the best professors I know
Funny and makes difficult topics easy to understand, 25 min video group project about an area of employment law, both midterm and final are online. 30pt timed quiz and 70pts for essays and short response. Calls on people to answer homework questions, really easy if you do the homework and read the chapters. Discussion Board post every Wednesday
She is strict. While you see her as someone who is soft talking, the lecture is not as easy as it sounds, because there are lot of material. She does not prepare you well for the exam and mid term. It is tricky, because it looks easy, but she takes away lot of points. No curve, definitely not. she is very stubborn. Can easily damage your grade.
The material is difficult but she makes it easy to understand by providing examples in class. She goes over what receives full credit for exam responses. She is one of the only professors in law department that gives multiple choice exams. You have to study hard for the exams because they are 85% of your grade.
She was truly a great professor! I really enjoyed this class and I even considered changing my major to business law. She makes everything very easy to understand and provides great notes and reviews so you are set for the exams and the final. If you want to do well in business law, take her class!
I definitely recommend Professor Kaminer. Her class is straightforward and engaging. If you pay attention during her lectures, you'll get an A. She also gives out extra credit for answering questions in class sometimes.
She is hands down the best choice for the LAW 9201 and any 1.5 cr MBA course. Engaging and funny class conversations, but more importantly understands that we are MBA students who only need the basics of law. She sets you nicely in the slides and doesn't blindside you: Attendance, 1 midterm, 1 final (30 Qs ea., mix of TF, MC,blanks.) No surprises!
Exams are straightforward and from the lectures, so there are no surprises. Textbook is helpful but not required. She relates her lectures to current events, which makes it engaging. Attendance is required!! As long as you attend and pay attention in class, you will do fine overall.
While quite quirky, Professor Kaminer always came to class extremely prepared. She was very specific with her requirements and was clear about what would be on the exams. While this course does cram a lot into a short period of time, if you do the readings, pay attention in class and study for the exams, you will do well.
she uses polls on zoom which counts as your attendance. The exams are straightforward and are exactly from her lectures + powerpoints- so pay attention. if you ever need a prof. recommendations, then turn on your camera in zoom. she's funny and keeps u engaging. I remember her talking about TikTok lol and some random stuff.
Professor Kaminer is clearly very educated in, and passionate about, her field. Her lectures are easy to follow and the assignments are fairly simple and straightforward. I highly recommend her for LAW 1101 and would take her again.
This class honestly is not that bad. All you need to do is pay attention and go over the textbook. There should be no reason to get a bad grade. Minimum effort can be enough, just try a little.
I appreciate Prof Kaminer's teaching style- easy to follow lectures based on PPTs and assigned readings. Not difficult at all if you make it class on a regular basis. Do the assignments and the tests will be a breeze, not a difficult grader and very accessible. I wish there was an option for me to take her again next semester. Quality Professor.
I tool Professor Kaminer in Spring 2021, I can she is definitely one of the best teachers I've had in my life. She's a very fair grader and very coherent when explaining concepts and issues. She helps birth a love for Law within you if you try to participate in the class.
I must have had a different Prof Kaminer in an alternative universe from these other people who are rating her 5.
Great professor!! But do not walk into class late. She will call you out in front of everyone.
She's just okay despite all the good ratings. Easy assignments but the class is lecture heavy. Does a mini review at the end of the class a week from tests - ask your questions.
shes boring
Pretty Chill
Professor Kaminer is amazing! Very clear guidelines of what is expected, and she understands that this is a 1.5 credit course but also teaches in a way where you learn the basics of business law. I got more out of this 1.5 credit course than some of my intense and heavy material 3 credit courses. I wish Prof Kaminer taught more grad classes.
very hard
She is awesome and knowledgeable, will be sure to answer all your questions. As long as you pay attention to the lectures and take notes as she talks, you're golden and her tests are easy. There is no trickery, it's based exactly on the lectures and she often gives you some questions in advance. She talks slowly and clearly, which is great!
One of my best professors. She explains things simply and has amazing examples to help you understand the material. If you attend class and pay attention, you don't really need the textbook. Assignments are few and easy. She is funny, engaging, and caring.
Boring. Self-important.
Lecture heavy, but the stuff she teaches is actually fun to learn about. Assignments are easy and she goes over them next class. Fair so pay attention in class. Final was departmental with cheat sheet
Professor Kaminer was great. The class was Hybrid Asynch, attendance wasn't mandatory. A homework assignment a week, which was relatively easy. She goes over them in class. Midterms were online; they were easy as they were open book.The final was harder because it was in person, but if you take notes from the slides you will be all right. Take her!
Interesting class I loved it. the work is fairly easy and simple, midterms and finals were good just make sure you're understanding the concepts, which is easy to learn if you take notes during her lectures, and you're all good.
Professor Kaminer is engaging, with simple explanations and helpful examples. Assignments are easy, and attending class is key. Unstuck ai can be a great study aid alongside the lectures. Take this class!
Professor Kaminer is a great professor, highly recommend! Despite being hybrid asynch, does a really great job with course materials and delivering online content. The class does require some effort because after all you need to have working knowledge, but nothing to worry about. Quizzes / exams were online, and in-person final allows cheat sheet.
Boring lectures, weekly homework that sometimes includes 3 different pdfs. Tough grader when it comes to tests. Attendance isn't mandatory, you can basically teach yourself based off the slides that she post.
Extremely tough grader. She ruined my GPA. She teaches well but will grade ruthlessly for the test. Some of the best students got bad grades in her class. Avoid at any cost! Very strict for no reason. Save your GPA and look elsewhere for law classes.
