Professor Eldridge is great in the classroom, but is slow in grading, with feedback being generally 2 weeks behind. We had to write a brief and a contract, and there was little guidance as to what was really expected. I liked her lectures, but the administration of the class and the feedback given was a bit lacking.

Awful class! The group project case my team got was extremely confusing, and when asking for help, the responses are not helpful at all. I have gotten straight A's through all my time at SPC, and I am worried about getting a C in this class due to her harsh grading. She thinks this is law school, apparently.

In my 4th year at SPC and Professor Eldridge is the harshest grader that I have come across during my time there. Treats a 3000 level course like a grad course or law school. Before it was disabled, I was seeing the class routinely failing assignments. I dont know if an A is possible and Im certainly annoyed at how much work I put into this course

Class is not hard, she has the best set up for my courses iv ever seen. It says exactly whats due, when and what to read. When you see her syllabus you expect hard work but its not. H.W once a week, a few easy quiz. Midterm and Final both easy if you study past quiz. Everything is open book!! If you fail its because you don't care. Class is easy.

This class had a lot of reading involved. There is no book but there are a lot of links to read. I'm not a lawyer nor want to be one. Reading the case laws and writing reports on them was not my cup of coffee. The grading for some of them was tough. I like knowing whats right and wrong but don't really care about the in depth details.

Prepare to read case law, and write in a precise way. Books suggested by the school aren't used, but a good shelf filler; all course material are links. Firm grader, follow the rubrics, and you'll get a B. Hope for a good group of people for the project (makes everything more enjoyable). All-in-all, Prof. Eldridge runs a firm, but fair ship.

I enjoyed the class. I was excited an overprice textbook was not required. The cases required to discuss and evaluate were very enlightening for the changing digital world we live in. However, I do not like the oral portion of the team project. BUL 3564 is not a Professional Business Speaking class, nor is it ToastMasters. Overall, 2 Thumbs Up.

No textbook. Professor is very clear with her instructions and expectations for the course and assignments. Teaches from experience, not from a several-years-old, insanely expensive textbook. She actually reads your assignments and provides unique, specific feedback. I recommend taking her class, but pay attention. Team project required.

Class can be taken online or on campus. Homework forces to learn about law. No books purchase but get ready to read a lot of online material. Great class for anyone trying to understand the law.

Dr. Eldridge has put together an interesting course. Weekly assignments, a few quizzes, a midterm, and a final. The team project lasts for almost the entire semester. She replies quickly to emails and gives good feedback. Grading criteria is not clear and there is no rubric to know how you are being assessed. But she is generous with the grades.

Eldridge is very unclear for her online students. She has information for each assignment in 3 different places. In order to fully understand the requirements for the assignment you must read the directions, watch the beginning of her lectures, and watch her tutorials (in the tutorial folder). Many of the assignments you cannot use outside sources.

Easy class for me because I had some background knowledge of the information. She has online quizzes which made it easier. For the online quizzes her only rule was you were not allowed to work with other students in the class, but most of the answers you were able to look up and get the right answers. Not too many papers that you have to turn in

She wasn't very good at explaining the material. She wasn't very helpful outside of class either, I asked her for help on an assignment and she told me I "waited too long" to ask. We would only have 3 days to do her homework that she would rarely explain, and the group project was irrelevant to the class. By some miracle managed to pass.

Knowledgeable but, as other reviews have said, she teaches as if her students already have knowledge on case law. Have to do a lot of my own research and ask plenty of questions. She has good intent and she does care about her students, just be prepared to ask questions in class or via email. If you don't ask questions, be prepared to research.

If it had not been for the heavily graded group project, I would have received an "A" for the class. I do not think you should share the same grade when you do your part very well and others do not. Eldridge is a lawyer that teaches at a small college that does not have a law school (u do the math), and not participate in a real law firm!

She is very critical when it comes to her grading, she will grade your discussion posts or papers like an English teacher. And when it comes down to the material in class for you to learn, there is not much. The class was supposed to be IT oriented but all I learned about was law. And the mid term and final, good luck, because all you get are PPTX.

Professor Eldridge is a nice person and passionate about law. I found the content to be pretty interesting and took away more from the class than I thought I would. It's not hard, but it is a lot of reading and writing. The group projects are annoying, but not too bad. Only real complaint is she seems to be a bit unpredictable with how she grades.

This is a review of the Estate Planning class. Don't do it! I have never taken the time to do this, but Eldridge was not a great professor. Maybe it was our personalities or the material, but it didn't seem like she wanted to teach. Lots of mirco-aggressions, presumptuous, patronizing, and the material was WAY more involved than it needed to be.
