Homework and exams are very similar making it easy to study for exams. Homework is worth 10%; exams worth 90%. Exams are reasonable and she gives you everything you need to study for them. She also scales them if the average is low. She lets class out a little early most days too.
She is a very nice and understanding professor. Attendance is not mandatory but she still takes it. Classes are only lectures but she does practice questions that help with exams. Her tests are very fair and it's clear how to prepare for them, they are basically your whole grade other than a few small homework percentages.
HIGHLY recommend taking! She is new to teaching but I really have enjoyed her class. Her lectures are straight to the point and she gives at least 10 sample questions/practice problems per lecture that are similar to the ones on the test. The tests are straight forward and if you study you will do great! She wants you to succeed and is so nice!
AMAZING BUSINESS LAW PROFESSOR! Such a kind and sweet teacher who wants you to succeed! She explains everything so well and the homework and tests are very similar, so if you study it is not hard to get an A. Take her if you can!!
Prof. Ostendorf was a great law professor and really prepared us to do well in her class. Don't need to read textbook because all information is in her powerpoints which are posted before each class. Does Q&A examples each chapter that are either identical or very similar to her tests. She wants her students to succeed and does a great job at this.
She is the best professor I've had at Auburn. Cares about students learning the material and has lots of experience with real world Business Law. Her tests are just questions that she gives you at the end of PowerPoint slides so they are so easy. The way she teaches really makes the material easily understandable. 10000% recommend.
This was her first semester teaching and she did an amazing job. She clearly cares about both her profession and the students. There were many times where I stayed after class to ask her for help with class material and outside material and she was more than happy to help. She kept the lectures relatively interesting too.
shes so lit
Professor Ostendorf is such a great professor. Her class is very straightforward, and as long as you do the reading outside of class, the lectures will make complete sense. She also gives sample questions at the end of every lecture, a lot of which end up being test questions. 100% recommend.
She is the best professor I have had at Auburn. She is really knowledgeable and has real world experience with Business Law. Her lectures are easy to understand and very applicable to what will be on the test. At the end of each lecture she goes through a bunch of practice questions that are practically identical to the test questions.
I loved her teaching style and class setup! Her lectures were very clear-cut, and she uploaded slides of everything (so if you miss class, everything is easily accessed). Her practice problems, quizzes, and exams had very similar questions, making studying easy. You can tell she wants her students to succeed!! Super nice lady!
She is an amazing professor! She teaches exactly what she wants you to know, and as long as you study the slides and understand the practice questions, the exams are super straightforward. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone interested in law.
So easy love her All her tests are the questions she gives you after each chapter & she posts them so you dont ever have to go to class not much hw would take again 100%
Class is fairly easy as long as you go to class. She is a great person to get to know outside of class. Perfect elective for Law and Justice majors.
She is a great professor! Class isn't mandatory but go to class, she posts her notes but provides a lot more info with helpful examples in class. To study for her tests review the sample questions for each module. Her tests are true false and multiple choice.
You have 5-question homework quizzes after every unit and 4 exams. The homework is easy and is on canvas. The exams are simple if you just study the slides or use quizlet. Attendance is not mandatory but it's an interesting class.
Worked in the industry for over a decade and is very knowledgable about her subject. Also cares about students and their learning of information. Yes, this is a really easy class, but also if you want to learn about her subject you can definitely get a lot out of it.
I highly recommend Professor Ostendorf. Her lectures can be boring but she has real world experience and class typically gets out a little early. There are four exams along with short homework questions after each lecture. The homeworks are easy 100s and her exams are exactly like the sample questions from the lectures and homework.
Easy class overall! Very well knowledgeable on the topics! If you look at the slides you will make well on the tests!
She is really laid back and chill. Very simple and organized and well designed class. Overall easy if you just study the sample questions and homework. Definitely take her for this class
There is a textbook but not necessary to use it unless you want to. She is a great prof who cares about her students. The exams are easy as long as you take the time to study. The homework is easy As if done in time. Pretty interesting class and a good GPA booster. She is a very enjoyable teacher and does not normally call people out.
Awesome professor. She is very nice and makes the class entertaining and easy. The tests are very similar to the sample questions she gives in class and the homework problems. If you study those then you should be fine. Class is not mandatory but I recommend going because she explains things deeper than presented on the slides.
Prof. Ostendorf is awesome! She goes over sample questions at the end of her lectures that are VERY SIMILAR on the exam. Makes material easy to understand and clear grading. There is homework as well that's super easy and counts into your grade. 4 exams but very doable and easy to get an A. Take her for Busi Law!!!!!!
Professor Ostendorf is fantastic. Even though I took this class at 8 am, she made it very understanding and easy to follow. She gives sample questions/answers after every chapter which are extremely similar to the ones on the exams. Keep up with homework and notes and this class should be a breeze.
Great professor, attendance isn't mandatory but she goes over questions during lecture that are on the tests, tests are super straightforward and very doable
Ostendorf's class is easy as long as you spend some time studying. She gives sample questions at the end of each lecture that are very very similar to the ones on the test, so if you look over the powerpoints and these questions, you should do well in her class.
She should teach every business elective. 4 multiple choice tests and 2 homework assignments every week for easy points. Test questions are directly taken from the slides that she posts in canvas. Actually hard to do bad in this class. Loved her!
She is awesome. Cares about her students and gives a lot of opportunity to learn through homework and an open note test. Just study the practice questions and homework questions- they show up all over her tests.
Mrs. Ostendorf is one of the best teachers I have had. She is great at giving examples and clearly defining what she is talking about. Mrs. Ostendorf is incredibly smart, and she breaks down her lectures in such a way that almost anyone could come to class and understand them. I was extremely happy with my experience in this class. She is amazing!
Mrs. Ostendorf is such a great professor! Her lectures were very straightforward and went hand in hand with the tests. She goes over sample questions at the end of the lectures which are almost identical to the questions asked on the tests. There are only 2 things of homework a week which are super easy, multiple choice, and only 5 questions long.
She is so awesome. This is by far one of my favorite classes. I felt like I learned and could apply the material to other classes. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I went. You have small homework assignments (5 questions) after each lecture, which are just sample questions you do in class. The tests are easy as long as you study sample questions.
I loved Ostendorf and her class, definitely take her for business law. Attendance not mandatory but I went because of how thorough her lectures are. She "assigns" reading in the online textbook but I didn't read any chapters because of how well she taught in class. Tests are also easy if you study the sample questions. Loved this class!
Prof. Ostendorf did a great job teaching the content and ended every lecture with sample questions that were almost identical to her tests. Her lectures covered everything in the textbook, so there was no need to read it. If you go to class and put in effort, you will have little trouble making an A.
Prof. Ostendorf was one of the easiest but straightforward professors I've ever had. If I put in more work I easily would've came out with an A. Tests are identical to sample questions and homework. I would take her again if I could!
Very nice person and is straight forward with her tests and lectures. Go to class and you should make an A. Tests are almost directly from the homework and practice questions.
Attendance isn't mandatory but she cares a lot about her students. Exams are very easy. Lots of homework points, homework is easy. If you go to class and don't study, I'm still confident you could get an A. Easy to communicate with and understands her students.
Her class is the easiest class at Auburn if you go to class. She enjoys teaching this material and makes it very interesting. Homework is easy and tests are all based on the review questions she gives at the end of each class. Take her class!
Exams consist of 20 true/false and 20 multiple-choice questions. The sample questions provided in class are essential for preparation, as they closely reflect the exam content. For students aiming for a 95+ grade, reading the textbook is also important. She offers a one-point extra credit opportunity at the semester's end to boost your final grade.
Good lectures but you can get a 95+ without going and reading the textbook. Easy tests and the most minimal homework ever. Better to read the textbook than the slideshows, because the slideshows sometimes do not cover everything on the tests or assignments.
Professor Ostendorf is the best teacher I've had at Auburn. She's a very clear lecturer and goes slowly enough so that she makes sure we understand. She is the sweetest teacher, and was so helpful when I went to her office hours. Her class is extremely easy to get an A in if you GO to class because she does sample problems that will be on the test!
Mrs. Ostendorf was an amazing professor! Her lectures were organized, and she explained every concept well. Her tests were easy and there was minimal homework. Attendance wasn't mandatory but I would go to get further explanations on the topics and the answers to the sample questions. Would recommend her to anyone and would definitely take again!!
You should definitely take Ostendorf if you can. Her lectures are really good and engaging, and she makes the content easy to understand. She also goes over example questions in class that are very similar to the test questions.
Go to class you will do good. Don't go to class you will do good.
Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go because she gives the answers to practice questions that are the exact same as the tests. Just put in time to study and memorize practice questions and you can get an A.
I highly enjoyed her class. She made everything super understandable, and could explain hard concepts in simple ways. Her quizzes and tests are very straight forward and similar to the sample questions she goes over in class. If you study the sample questions you will be fine. I was dreading this class, but she made it enjoyable and stress free.
She's just about as solid of a teacher as you could ask for. Just hands you the information and lets you do the rest. Very kind and accommodating and understanding when I had a family emergencies. Great person and great professor.
Very nice professor. Would take if you have the chance. The tests were very similar to the sample questions. That is all I ever studied with and used Quizlets and easily got an A.
Easiest class ever. Tests are almost exactly the same questions given in class and for homework. You do need to go to class to get the correct answers for the questions, but if you get them then it is easy to get an A
She was awesome! tests are just like the quizzes and sample questions.
She is genuinely a great and easy professor and she knows it too. The class consists of 4 multiple choice exams which if you study a good bit are so easy. She offers great extra credit oppertunities.
She was awesome, her lectures are great because of how easygoing and sweet she was. The tests are incredibly easy and the homework takes 5 minutes. Couldn't recommend this professor and this class more
5 total tests including the final. None are cumulative and 1 is taken online. Take her class. She is a great lecturer and very engaging!
She's awesome. Her lectures are so engaging (I'm severe adhd and usually hate pure lecture based classes). Attendance isn't mandatory but she'll give a % point at the end of the semester if you were present on the days she chose to take attendance (random). Also an extra credit essay, super easy and worth doing if you're on the edge of an A/B.
She's the best! I loved this class, it was pretty easy but also really enjoyable, definitely recommend going to her lectures, definitely learned a lot from this class, she made difficult concepts very digestible.
She's the best, this class is pretty easy, and she makes it enjoyable. Only 5 tests, and each is extremely easy if you study for more than an hour. All of the 5 stars for her on this site are completely warranted
Very clear and organized lectures. Her class was easy to follow, and the tests directly reflected what she taught in class. Overall, I would recommend taking her!
She is such a dawg take her by any means possible. She is very laid back, but is still good at explaining the material and her tests are fairly easy as long as you study a little bit.
Wonderful professor! You knew what was expected to succeed in the classroom from day one. Lectures were clear and organized, useful, and applicable, and overall interesting to learn. Homework was minimal, and test were easy to succeed on if you knew and prepared with the material she provided. Overall, I would highly recommend her!
She's awesome, lectures were great, tests were easy if you went to class; overall, I couldn't recommend her more!
LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!! Exams are just like sample questions if you study you will be fine. Also she is so sweet, go to office hours and get to know her!!!
I LOVE her. Her class was engaging and interesting, and she had practice questions at the end of every lecture that make up the entire exams. She takes random attendance a couple times a semester, it gives you extra credit if you're there, but if you're not you don't lose points. She also has an extra credit essay opportunity. Great class & prof!
if u have to take busi law, take her and you will get an A
The class is easy but it is only made up of 4 test grades. I made a 70 on the first test and it was pretty impossible afterwards to climb back to make an A. About the entire course is made up of 4 grades and if you slip up on one test an A becomes extremely difficult. Little area for recovery and improvement.
i left a two star review on here and meant to leave it for a different professor! but i did take ostendorf and she is awesome!! def take her if you can.
All her test questions are the questions she goes over at the end of each class. Attendance isn't mandatory but helpful for points and to see what the answers to the questions are. Also offerers an extra credit essay that isn't hard.
The questions she goes over at the end of class are very similar to the tests and are a really good way to study. She uses lots of real world examples in her lectures making the material easier to understand.
She is the sweetest teacher, and truly cares about her students' success. Go to class because the questions on the exam are same as the ones you do in class just worded diff, so its so easy to get an A if you study what u did in class! I would take her a million times over again she's the best!
This class was a breeze. She is great! If you want to do well, create a Quizlet of all the in-class and homework questions, as her tests are almost word for word. She also gives 2% optional extra credit: 1% for completing an essay and 1% for going to class when she takes random attendance (although attendance is not needed to pass this class)
Professor Ostendorf is excellent. She knows what she's talking about but uses very clear & simple language. I would not be concerned with missing some class but if you're there when she takes attendance you can get extra credit. For the most part just study the example questions & you'll be fine. I highly recommend her!
Great teacher makes content easy to understand and cares about her students. Tests are a straight forward format and she makes it clear how to prepare. This is how many professors should strive to teach.
This class was very easy. I stopped showing up halfway through the semester and was absolutely fine. She gives sample questions at the end of every lecture that are basically the exact same as the test. If you know those, you'll be set.
Great teacher! Really enjoyed her class. She's one of the first teachers that the tests are actually based off her lectures, so nice!
Started taking attendance every class
Super straightforward class. Would highly recommend.
I would definitely recommend taking business law with Ostendorf. As long as you show up to class and do the homework quizzes, the tests are very easy. Her lectures are really interesting and she does fun things (like trivia) in the middle of class to keep people engaged. Attendance is taken via canvas.
She's awesome! other people have given her bad reviews because she takes attendance each class but lets be fr its college you're paying for these classes might as well go. Tests are straight from her lectures and we have gotten out of class early 75% of the time. She offers extra credit as well. Literally no way to fail this class.
Super sweet and a great lecturer.
Lectures are very helpful to understand the material. She truly takes the time to explain concepts, vocabulary, and examples. Tests are on paper, 20 true/false questions, and 20 multiple choice. You have homework after each lecture, but it's a very simple 5 questions on canvas. Attendance is taken, but I believe you do get 2 freebies.
She takes attendance during class via canvas. I literally study her power points like the day before the exam and do fine. Super easy and awesome teacher. Take her if you can. You are in good hands with her.
Amazing teacher, engaging, incredibly sweet and clearly wants her students to do well. Exams are based off of lecture slides and multiple choice, with an opportunity for extra credit by writing a short and easy paper. Highly recommend, and I wouldn't take anyone else for this class!
She cares about everything that she teaches and she wants her students to do good. Everything on the tests is straight off of the slides, and if you go to class it is hard not to do good. Tests are multiple choice, and there are other opportunities for extra credit throughout the class. Homework is super light and a grade booster. Try to take her.
Dr. Ostendorf is so fun. She made the most boring subject kind of enjoyable. The class was easy as long as you pay attention a little bit and memorize the concepts to the homework and practice questions. Definitely an easy A, hard to get below a B as long as you put forth any amount of effort.
This class changed a lot this semester- attendance is mandatory and requires you to take a random module quiz throughout the lecture to count you were there. If you go to class and listen, you will be ok. Tests are not just like the sample questions anymore, but if you study, you will be ok. Interesting material and a good professor.
goat. she's very nice and her lectures are straight forward. she gave us extra credit opportunities through trivia and an optional essay. attendance was mandatory but only worth 5% and she gives you a couple free passes. so easy to get an A if you just pay attention and do your work. best prof i've had
Great overall.
Study the notes you make from the slideshow and the sample questions a day before each test, and you should have an A. Plenty of quizlets out there for both.
Super great professor with very interesting lectures! Attendance being mandatory was initially annoying, but honestly attending class and taking notes made studying for exams minimal. Pay attention and study the sample questions and this class will be a breeze, a bit of hw but it is very easy to complete.
Professor Ostendorf is amazing! Lectures are clear and easy to follow and the tests are super straightforward (the exact same material and format as in-class practice questions and homework). She's very nice and understanding and tries to make the lectures interesting.
Come to class, do your work, you will pass. Study the slides and you'll get straight A's. Sometimes lecture is dry but it's completely comprehensive, she's alsopretty funny and has admitted to being on YikYak. Going to law school because of her/this class, would happily take again
Professor Ostendorf was amazing, and attendance is mandatory for semesters going forward, but the lectures are decently easy to understand. The lectures were essentially just taken off of the slides. You also have to go to class in order to take the attendance questions and get the practice question answers.
I absolutely loved Professor Ostendorf! Would take her again if I had the opportunity. Obviously cares a lot about her class and students, and the class is easy to pass if you just show up and do the work. Takes attendance every lecture and likes to do trivia. 10/10 professor.
Attendance is a grade which kinda sucks.
This class is awesome. Ostendorf is an amazing professor and she makes this class engaging and easy at the same time. The effort required to get an A is extremely low, the reviews you see about people complaining over attendance or test difficulty are people who likely didn't try at all.
