Professor Garnica is AWESOME. I took him Spring 2009 on a freakin' Saturday. I was pretty apprehensive before taking this class but trust me, Garnica made the class fun, interesting, and totally worth going in on a Saturday for. He's so funny! You have to put in some effort but he'll meet you halfway. I surprised myself and got an A in this class!

Totally funny prof. Gives funny examples which makes the learning fun. Has taught for at least 15 yrs so knows what he is doing. Try to get his last class b/c that's when he makes up his mind about things. Law is hard so you need to study for it, totally possible for an A (got one). Chances for extra credit. Totally recommend!!!

This professor is fun - but for more mature students who need to seriously be introducted to law, take a more serious professor. His class is a lot about games, like I did in kindergarten. This is college so I was disappointed. I felt his teaching method was condescending to college students. He would be a great kindergarten teacher.

You can get 10-20 pts added onto your final grade in the 3 "silly games". I saw ppl who deserved a D get a B. If your uptight and cant take 3hrs of fun mixed into law, then a boring prof will b 4 u

Professor Garnica is probably one of the best professors I've had in Baruch yet. I started out not having even the slightest interest in law, but he completely switched that around. He is tremendously funny, and also extremely fair. Though the class does require you to stay on top of your work, he is there to guide you along.

Has to be the funniest prof at Baruch. I hated his class though - I have no interest in Law. However, since it is a requirement, I recommend for everyone to take his class, he only teaches Sat classes. His bonus games will help your grade if you're team is the best. Don't get lazy people in your team. Your team is the same for the entire semester.

This is one of the best professors I've met in Baruch College! I hated law before, but in his class everything was interesting! He is funny, he strike jokes every 3 minutes! He gave you a lot of extra credits to improve your grade (the least you get by doing nothing is 3, I think). Still, you need too study for your exams with him. But it's easier.

He is very knowledgeable about the law & ethics, wants us to think & speak more professionally in terms of legal matters & issues, and even gives extra credit if you are falling behind on grades. He does joke a lot, but I can tell he's just trying enlighten the mood in class and I'll admit some are pretty funny. In all, he is reasonable and fair.

I took Law 1101 in Summer 2023. He gives many opportunities for extra credit. Ensure that you participate in class, you get extra credits during the class participation. You don't necessarily need the textbook. Pay attention in class and know the slides and you'll be fine.

I'll start by saying that he is a good person, he has good intentions, but he may come off as cocky sometimes, but he isn't really. He gave us extra credit as much as he COULD because I had the summer session so everything was condensed into a month. If you have to take law in the summer, he's your guy.

Comments about his personality are true. However, I believe them to be understandable. Students continually repeat the same questions or ask things he just answered/said multiple times. Comments about how easy the class are true. You can use your notes and he tell you exactly what to study and write to pass the exams. No reason to not get an A.

He's pretty funny and uses a lot of examples/stories to engage students during online lectures. Also lenient on grading and provides a lot of EC. He specifically tells you what you need to study for final/midterms which is huge in law. Would recommend him.

He's a good professor definitely experienced makes class fun and clearly lines out what he expects and gives tons of extra credit. He expects you to work hard. However sometimes does shift blame towards the class over things he should control. He teaches exactly how it will be on his tests. All and all a good professor. Highly recommend taking him.

Highly recommend you take this class. No homework, 2 tests (online midterm and final), one group project. You are given so many opportunities to get extra credit. For example if you have your camera on in class you get +3. Funny guy, material is so easy, tests are so simple. This class will be a breeze if you are interested in law.

Definitely take him! He was a great professor, even online. He kept students engaged and made lectures interesting through participation. He can be strict about punctuality, so be on time and participate. He gives many opportunities for extra credit and clearly prepares students for exams. There was only one group project and minimal group work.
