GREAT CLASS, ENTERTAINING PROFESSOR, FAIR GRADER

One of the best teachers at UCF, she is so down to earth and the tests are great, always MC, it also helps that she is hott!

Prof. Pons is awesome and one of the best teachers i've had in the past 4 years, i would take her if I could, if you can get in her class you're lucky

I love her!!! She is so sweet and helpful! very entertaining!

Professor Pons is an AWESOME Professor. She used power points during most of her classes and even emails them to us. She also used youtube and interactive games to teach. She is a fair grader and her classes FILL UP really quick. She definitely knows what she is talking about, and always answered all of my questions! TAKE HER CLASS, if you can!!

She is insightful and honest about the law profession and what it takes to get there. Her classes are usually fun and I do look forward to each of them. I plan on taking many of the classes she teaches.

Pons is great! Very nice professor. Really seems to try hard to keep the material interesting. Brings in interesting guest speakers from the entertainment field, and shows interesting youtube videos pertaining to our area of study. Tests are fair and administered to promote student success. All in all I think Pons is a great professor!

Very fun to learn from, great teacher.

If you want an A, take her... If you want to actually learn something during your semester, take someone else. She's a nice woman, but lacks solid experience. If she likes your class, expect open-book exams. However, I heard if your class blows, it's a completely different story.

She is fabulous, take her class and please don't read the rest of these.

Pr. Pons is the greatest professor at UCF. She understands that you have a life and she teaches only what you need to know. I also took her for PLA 3155 and I got an A. Easy, personable, and funny. This is for the "Guys" she is really pretty. If you need a class/professor that is stress-free take her. She is Awesome.

Also took her for 4825.Entertaining,easy-going, definitely wants you to make an A.Very cool. Speaks alot on her life experiences, and makes learning fun whenever possible. Correlates youtube into her lessons. ONLY downfall is there's alot of group work which is good sometimes, but i have to say can sorta take away from really learning the material.

Fine Fine Fine. Take her, her class is easy and she is easy to look at. She knows what she is teaching and its nice to have a professor that doesnt deduct for missed classes.

this teacher is cool, i say attendance is mandatory because it is the best way to make sure you know what she is teaching since her lectures are really tied to her exams, but her lectures are extremely fun and interesting, her approach is clear and to the point. i am taking her in 3classes this semester cause she makes law really easy to understand

Take this professor for one reason only, regardless of what everyone else said. The reason is she is compassionate and understanding of life outside the classroom. Bottom line---the best professor i have ever had.

awesome

Professor Pons is very sweet, funny and interesting. I am taking every class she offers. You will def. learn hands on material that will help you with law school/your future in the legal field along with a merry and witty professor that is unforgettable. Her teaching style is very relaxed but you learn a lot. She is absolutely great!!! take her!!!

wonderful professor! young, funny, fair workload (most stuff done in class) you will enjoy every minute of her class. legal research/law and legal sys/civil practice and procedure are all great courses to take with Irene Pons. you'll be relieved to meet her the first day and even excited for the semester!

Prof. Pons is the best professor I have met at UCF. She is such a great person and you'll learn A LOT from her! I'm taking 5 classes (all the lgl study core courses) and she is my FAVORITE! Very down to earth!!She's the best!! Lots of fun and you actually learn

Take Prof Pons for every class possible. She will teach you things you cannot learn in a book. My absolute favorite professor.

intelligent, very interesting personality,uses current and relevant cases to discuss in class via high tech media,power points& internet, any negative postings that might be placed about Ms Pons is that she is very attractive and she covers the material quickly and will not hand feed you the infomation, whiners are lazy and don't want to do the wor

Pons is a great professor. She is very live and relaxed at the same time. I took her over Summer she didn't hold us the whole time but did cover everything that was going to be due the following week. I would recommend her to take. I wish she taught on main campus

TOTALLY LOVED HER. GOT A'S IN ALL HER CLASSES. VERY EASY. YOU LEARN A LOT AS WELL. VERY FUN, NOT YOUR TYPICAL BORING PROFESSOR. EXAMPLES FROM REAL WORLD. SHE HAS HER OWN FIRM. RECOMMEND IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET, JUST DO WHAT YOU ARE ASSIGNED.

Prof Pons is great.Uses lectures+technology+real life experiences to showcase the material she's teaching, making it SUPER easy to really absorb the info.Bubbly personality.U learn more bc some assignments are hands-on (i.e. scavenger hunts to find divorce forms online,etc.) Overall amazing teacher.Do the work, ask any questions u have & get an A.

Day 1 something she said made me want to run the opposite direction, but I stuck it out and I'm glad I didnt drop! She was a LOT of fun and it was great to really learn without a text and just from her reallife experiences in her firm, etc. Plus she's young and relatable and makes things interesting.

First of all the professor was joking when she said that she writes all the good comments on for herself on this site. She's a good teacher. If you ask the questions she will answer them. She's willing to help, even willing to meet outside of class. (and she has funny youtube videos)

Don't know what most of you guys are talking about. People are complaining about having to read a book to find answers..I guess college isn't for you guys. She is the most amazing professor ever. If you can't read and be able to extract answers from it then im sad to say that you are not college material.

Her class used to be really easy. However, some students complained that it was too easy therefore, she has gotten a lot harder. Anyhow, it her classes are very manageable and she is very helpful.

As a professor, Prof. Pons is a mystery. I can't tell whether I love her class or not. It's easy material, but the exams are hard. It's filled with those annoying "Is it A, B, C, A & B, or B & C?" that kills a lot of grades. I can't tell if I learned much but then again Legal Research is basic stuff. She's an awesome person though. Really fun.

Stop complaining. Shes a good professor. Nice, and easy to talk to. You get what you put into this class. If you want an easy "A" then work just hard enough to get it, or you can do your best work, and feel better about yourself.

Great teacher, easy to get along with. Stay on your toes in her class and youll get an A. Slack and you will fail.

She is a great Professor, easy exams, as long as long as you study and do the work it's an easy "A". I have taken several classes with her, mixed mode and regular classes with her and she explains everything.

Professor Pons is really laid back and a cool professor. She has trouble sometimes with grades on Canvas but if you bring to her attention she fixes it right away. I would take her again, very fair professor.

Awesome professor. She is very down to earth and is helpful. As long as you care about your grades, she will go that extra mile to help you achieve your academic goal.

GREAT professor. She is willing to take the time to help you achieve your academic goals. She is very down to earth. BEST CHOICE for a professor.

Pons is a different sort of professor, unconventional if you will. If there are errors she is absolutely willing to correct them, so do your work and you will be fine. PS Don't leave class early, she totally rewards those who stay by giving valid tips and tricks for larger assignments. BTW..she is way hot! Two thumbs up for the courtroom attire ;)

She keeps class interesting…so far I am loving her class and even though it is at the end of a 12 hour day for me I never mind going to it. The assignments are not hard, ASK QUESTIONS! Come to class and you will do just fine. :)

She is a great teacher. She is a great person that really cares about her students. Her test are not that bad. she has discussions to help pad your grade as well

Great professor! I enjoy her teaching style and take all her classes. She makes boring lectures as fun as can be by offering group activities, real-life cases, visits to jail. She is busy with her law practice, therefore she can't be available 24/7. I would rather learn from a practicing attorney than someone who's never represented a client!

Professor Pons is nothing short of amazing! You can learn a lot from this highly intelligent woman, whether it comes from a book or from real life experiences. I love the way she conducts her classes, very laid back but not a push over by any means. Do read the text book but most info comes from lectures and PowerPoints. Great professor,!

I had Professor Pons for Civil Practice & Procedure Fall 2015, I loved her class. Her class was every other monday, her assignments were clear, exams are online, and everything was due online. Easy A just do the work and show up. Attendance isn't always required but she also gives extra credit!!!

This is a great professor, she is clear and to the point. The quizzes are challenging, but if you read the book you'll do fine. She can be reasoned with if you make time to go talk to her. I enjoyed the class and learned a lot, she even helped us with where to find the book.

I take every class Pons teaches. She has been practicing law for over ten years and has some interesting stories to tell. This class was very easy. Go over power points and you will do just fine. 3 quizzes, mid-term and a final. No other assignments in this class.

Professor Pons is by far, the most entertaining teacher! She gives you real case scenerios to work with, she's very animated but laid back at the same time. She makes legal studies which could potentially be very monotonous, actually come to life. She's very blunt and doesn't beat around the bush! Be prepared to laugh and learn! Love her!

Dr. Pons is one of the best professors at UCF! She really cares about her students. She goes over all the material in class, so the exams aren't much of a surprise.

Took Dr. Pons for immigration law and it was easy and informative. I feel I learned a lot and the text was easy and short to read. It wasn't dragged out like some text that you can barely read through it and there is a quiz every week. Would definitely take her again.

I've taken Pons 4 time now and I don't get her bad rep. Most of the quizzes and test she gives are common sense and if you actually read the material you should do fine. She's easy to talk to a little disorganized I must admit but I have never gotten below a A in any of her classes

She a great teacher! I have taken her for three classes so far ,I've learned lot with her, and will continue taking her in the future. she does require a lot of reading and can be unclear at times but if you ask for help she will help you understand the concept.

Professor Pons has been one of my favorite teachers at UCF.

I took her Adoption class in the Spring and she was absolutely amazing!!! Shes really sweet and her class is a breeze if you just do the weekly assignment which could either be a discussion or a quiz. I didnt even need the book because even though she said we needed it, she ended up providing the text in the modules. Totally recommend her class

I LOVE Pons. This summer will be my third class with her and then two more in the fall. She is so caring about her students and what she does. I took adoption law with her in the spring and her instructions were very clear. Take her!!

Pons is a solid choice. There are a lot of small assignments but they are easy and pretty much the same every week. She brings a lot of guest speakers for class so it makes the class pretty interesting.

One of the best professors I've ever taken! Makes law easy to understand and interesting. Very funny and gives anecdotes about her own cases and clients. Translates legal jargon into words anyone can understand. So human and honest. Messy when it comes to updating WebCourses and responding on time. Will use lots of logic and critical thinking.

really enjoyed this class, she was a great professor, and made the class very fun and interesting. I will say, however, that research assignments that we had to do were some time very frustrating and gets annoying especially when you are unsure on what to do. Dont even get me started on the citations but overall good professor, would take again.

Prof. Pons is a great woman and she always gives clear feedback. The quizzes and discussions were not really hard, and the material was interesting. The course load wasn't overwhelming and I felt like this class was a breeze. I would definitely take this prof. again.

She is the best professor I have ever taken in the legal studies department at UCF. She is so caring and connects with you on a personal level.

Overall a very good professor. Her material is taught well and heavily relies on the textbook. She does take a long while to respond to emails however always solves the issue / responds to the question eventually.

Pons is a great professor and made Intercultural Law a class that I actually learned something in. Each week is a training exercise, but they're all up for interpretation and you'll likely get full credit. Only things you have to read are in the online modules.

I took Pons online and I thought it was a very good class. She posted videos of her doing lectures, but everything was able to be found in the textbook. She is available to help if you need it. I found I actually learned a lot and she was a big part of that. Would definitely recommend.

She is pretty funny and engaging. She will give you her time and attention if you need help. The grading criteria are very clear, and the formula for the class is to read the book, do the assignment and take the quiz. It is easy to get a good grade in her class if you follow the formula.

She is one of the better professors in the legal studies department for online classes. Never had her in person. The assignments and quizzes are very straight forward and she is always willing to help if you need it. My only complaint is she is pretty slow with grading and responding to emails, but she is a very good professor.

Hands down the best Legal Studies Professor I've taken where I actually learnt something with live experience from her documentaries and videos. Even though this was an online class, the materials provided every week are so informational that you want to learn more. Her exam reviews are VERY helpful.

This class was pretty straightforward when it came to quizzes and homework, I didn't have much difficulty during this course however I would say it can be hard to reach her.

I enjoyed her class for adoption law. The class is interesting and she doesn't give you too many unnecessary readings. Most of the class is quizzes on a couple short readings every week with the occasional discussion. The final exam is based on the readings for the class and she has a meeting for the midterm and final to review.

Dr. Pons had another professor co teach this course with her. All the assignments were traditional Dr. Pons assignments. The other prof was the primary. Overall good class if you read and do your assignments you're fine. Quizzes sometimes had repeated questions. She's a nice professor, but isn't reachable through email, but through office hours yes

She has a good life experience. The online exam lecture was very helpful. I will taker her classes again.

THIS CLASS WAS AMAZING. Prof Pons is so passionate about Immigration law. There were some assignment that had you watch her documentary on the trips to the border she's taken with her students and it is truly amazing and inspirational. I took this class in Summer A and it is super doable not too many assignments. Great class, amazing prof!

Special Topics changes every semester which topic. Had her for Funeral/Cremation Law. Very interesting type of law. One assignment a week. "Fieldtrips" went to a cemetery for extra credit very cool. Has a required textbook, bought it and never used it. Would take her again.

Professor Pons is engaging and makes legal concepts easy to grasp. Expect a clear grading formula - read the textbook, do assignments, and take quizzes. Unstuck AI can be a helpful study tool alongside other resources.
