Prof.Lynch is a great teacher and full of knowledge. He makes the class interesting. He's a lawyer so he always tells us great stories about cases. Very nice and easy to talk to. 2 test Midterm & Final(not hard if you study). Definately recommend for Bus Law, you'll learn a lot from him.
A very nice professor, full of knowledge and fun, if you want to learn about the law, take him, not doubts!
he is by far the professor for this course! very knowlegable and keeps the class interesting. test and quizzes are fair and is very helpful and approachable. i say take him if you want an interesting class while boosting your gpa!
Professor Lynch is a great professor. I would deffinitly reccomend him, He is'nt to easy and not hard at all His test prep questions are very helpful, they are practically the exact test questions you will recieve on the midterm and final. He is very intresting and makes you want to come to class and learn. If I could take him again I would!!
The best professor I ever had in my 4 years at Brooklyn College. I looked forward to going to class everyday. This was also the easiest class Ive taken in BC, only a midterm and final which are both papers!! Easy A guaranteed...take him I promise you wont regret it.
PROFESSOR LYNCH IS THE BEST! There is nothing else to it. He is insightful, fun, down to earth, care about his students. He puts the work in real life terms. I don't think I missed a class the whole semester. TAKE HIM IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE. BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. (side bar...and he's easy on the eyes)
One of the best, most enthusiastic professors in Brooklyn College. Loves to teach, loves his students, and is a happy guy. Class is easy and he is an easy grader. Definately take Professor Lynch.
Lynch is the man you have to Take him... Good lawyers make great professos. I took him for Real estate finance, and Business Law 1 and Business Law 2. He is the best his tests are easy and multiple choice and hes great to listen to tells jokes funny stories and hells you exactly whats on the exam and even emails you every topic so if u cant do bad.
I beg to differ with the other raters..while Lynch is indeed a nice and funny guy, he does not actually teach the subject at hand. He just reads through the textbook on some random days. His cheat sheet helped for about 20 out of 50 questions for the exam..took forever to grade too
nice, entertaining guy... won't learn much, but great for an easy A.
BEST PROFESSOR @ Brooklyn College. Very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subject. Took him for BUS LAW 1 & 2. Got A's in both classes. Will help you at all cost. And to top it off, he's VERY easy on the eyes ;-)
I Took 2 classes with Prof Lynch! He's the best professor in Brooklyn College!He honestly wants you to do great, and always optimistic, you really can't say anything bad about this guy. Very understanding, very nice, and explains the topic very well. A must take!
Awesome teacher. Explains material in a real life practical manner and gives real life examples. Makes what could be a boring subject exciting and fun. Test are easy if you study- he tells you exactly what you need to know.
Great professor. Gives tips before and during the exam. He makes law easier to understand. Great lectures.
Lynch is the man. He is the most entertaining professor I've ever had. I didn't stop laughing straight through his class. But I learned a whole lot along the way. He managed to teach in a way that combined humor and learning. He started every class by asking if anyone had anything they wanted to discuss and he actually cared about what people h
best prof. i've ever had. im usually tired after a long day at work but i would be wide awake for mr. lynch's class he is a great prof. Take his classes
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! The class was so interesting and one I looked forward to even on a Tuesday night. Professor Lynch is very funny and really smart so his classes are informative. Best teacher I've ever had.
Professor Lynch has got to be one of the best professors in the School of Business. He only wants what's best for his students. In return, just show up to the class and learn. He makes it very fun, and you almost don't realize you are actually learning. He the best professor for Business Law 1.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER.FOR BUS LAW & STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCES. BEST PROF EVER.
best professor ever. gives real insight and cares about every student. hands down the best in BC
The topic of the class is great but the professor does not care about the class and I felt that he just wants go home every time...
The easiest class i've ever taken at any level. The midterms and final were both 100 questions and took 15 minutes to finish. I studied about the same amount it took me too finish. He basically hands you the questions a few weeks before the test
I'd love to give this guy 5 stars across the board but i just cant. He barely teaches the subject. He'll spend 10 minutes on the material and the rest on joking around. I learned a lot more in business law 1 because the professor actually taught. I'm all for joke classes but even this is rediculous.
he acts like he cares but he doesnt.unclear syllabus and useless info. always joke around in class and do nothing.
Professor Lynch is a great teacher who creates the conditions to learn and desire to develop and grow.He is very different from anybody else - my guru!! From my experience, the brightest professors get the lowest ratings from an average student.
One of the most inspirational and caring professor's at Brooklyn College. His class is filled with wisdom, insight, and knowledge into adjusting one's attitude to be a more effective and happier employee,employer, student, and human being. A master of psychology, philosophy,law, and business. Truly a privilege to learn wisdom from him.
Top Quality professor. Smart, open minded and inspirational. Pleasure to attend and listen to the useful information at the beginning of every class. World is not what it seems.
this guy knows his stuff . great prof and full of energy, take him to have if you want to learn something, do the work study the chapters and you'll be fine. easy peasy
the class is great
he is an amazing man and educated! brooklyn college prize! he is so inspirational and he makes class exciting, dramatic and worth going to. midterm and final, both are easy if you follow his review. he's perfection!
He really love his work great professor
My favorite professor by far!! Lectures are interesting & very relatable. He uses real life examples that help you remember and really emphasizes important key points. Only a midterm and final and he provides a review sheet with everything you need to know. Even his review sheets are fun and interesting!! Definitely would take again without a doubt
Professor Lynch is a great professor, I deff recommend him. He is there to help you. His lectures a very interesting. He gives examples to help you out for your midterm and final paper.
The man is a DUDE! For me it was like this. You know the line ''Life is all about the journey''? So Professor Lynch is the great part of the journey that you get lucky with when it comes to Professors. If you like Denzel Washington you will probably like this Professor too. Ah yes, you will understand.
Engaging, interesting, fun loved this class probably the most useful information you'll take out of Brooklyn College.
Professor Lynch is most likely the best professor I've ever had. Ever. He's incredibly intelligent, engaging, and just a great person. He really makes sure that you know and understand the material and that you're not just memorizing facts. He loves people who speak up in class. He'll get into a long convo with you if you give him the chance.
Professor Lynch is great, he gives great lectures. You don't have to take notes in class, just listen. He gives a few writing assignments, but they're easy. He also gives a midterm and a final, which both are curved and somewhat challenging, but the class is great and I would recommend him to anybody.
Professor Lynch gives the best books that he lectures from. His books help you with your personal life and business.
Outstanding passion about the subject, keeps you interested with real-life examples. Learning that inspires you and will stay with you after college. Best of the best
Simply amazing! Prof Lynch is the best professor I have taken at BC. He truly loves his job and teaches from experience as a lawyer. He is very understanding and respectful of his students. a few response papers and two tests were required. His lectures will leave you thinking different and you will be motivated to go to class!
Hilarious, Inspirational, and caring. These are just a few adjectives that describe how great of an instructor Professor Lynch. This man truly cares about the welfare of his students. All while providing the greatest entertainment Business Law has seen. Who knew talking about unilateral contracts could be fun? I would love to take this class again
350 characters to talk about the greatness of Professor Lynch? Not enough. This man is truly inspirational and you will leave his class with a new outlook on life. Seriously, he makes you want to re-evaluate your whole life! Lynch is very insightful, intelligent, caring, and genuine. A characteristic you don't see in many lawyers. TAKE HIM!
This is THE BEST Professor in BROOKLYN COLLEGE. Prof. Lynch is cool down to earth always ready to help, AMAZING, and Smart. He made my day! great class lectures were thought provoking and helpful! It's an Easy Class but it helps students by motivating them and giving them a positive view. Things needed when facing tough issues at work and school.
He helps you to think of every day life, very motivational. Evokes attention from all of his students, teaches us for the real world. Very inspirational. Definitely helps you to think for yourself and teaches happiness in all classes. Take him every chance you get Fall 2016 will be the 3rd time i take him for a different class.
Extremely smart and caring
Professor Lynch is without a doubt an amazing professor. Probably the best I've ever had. Sounds cliche, but hes really inspiring. His lectures help you in the real world. Hes cheerful, funny, and super chill. Only 2 papers both very easy. In class he just gives great lectures, shows a lot of videos, and some minor group interaction. Amazing prof!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT BC! He is extremely helpful and caring towards his students. very inspirational. He teaches you like it is. highly recommend him for any class he teaches. you will absolutely learn a ton from him lectures
Professor Lynch has magnetic energy radiating throughout the classroom at all times resulting in keeping everyone engaged. He gives 2 challenging exams, yet they are curved. I would take him again in a heartbeat.
Best teacher ever. Take if you have the chance. Good class discussions and a couple of essays.
You have to write two papers and a few homework assignments of which have yet be returned or graded making it difficult to know where you stand in the class however he is very inspirational and nice
absolutely love him. dresses like daymond john and is super funny too. very inspirational and positive. really wants the best for his students. would take him for every class if i could
This is one of those professors that you have to take atleast once during your time at BC. The grading criteria for this class was two papers and attendance (he will know your face, so remember to show up!).
If you want that gpa booster this the class. All of his test questions are on quizlet. The best professor I took so far and his knowledge in law is top tier. Easy A if you know you stuff.
He is one of the most inspirational and helpful professor I've ever had in BC. He likes to use real live scenarios to explain terms which makes it easier to memorize them. The review sheets before exams do not include everything in the tests, so students will need to do just a little bit more readings besides whats on the sheets.
Professor Lynch is very positive and pleasant person. His lectures are not boring and interesting. He shows a lot of videos. Tests are not easy. Review sheets are not helpful. If you listen to his lectures and read the textbook, you will be fine.
Inspirational professor
Happiness & Negot, two best classes out of the 4 years in BC. J.L does his best to motivate you & change your life's perspective to his best ability, but u need to take the info he provides and apply it in your life. He's a great motivational speaker, and makes everyone feel amazing. He makes class stressless &perfect break for a college student
This is my second time taking Professor Lynch. I'll put it to you this way. If you want to experience the most passionate and caring speaker, you must take this course! You wouldn't want to miss out on learning happiness from him! Professor Lynch also coaches a Mock Trial team! He is one of the greatest professors at Brooklyn.
Great class if you use the techniques he gives you. Engaging and interactive. Books are interesting to read. Multiple papers per semester instead of midterm/final. Will give HW if he misses a class. Usually a video and a paragraph needs to be submitted for it. Perspective is unique and genuine.
He is very inspirational, well experienced, loyal. He gives a lot, extra materials, videos, ethic oriented.
Vey easy class. You can have someone sign your name in. One midterm and one final, 2 homework assignments but very easy. The midterm is 50 questions, kind of tricky but gives you most answers before tests. Easy filler class because you dont have to show up. Lectures are interesting though
best professor you can have in bc. He gives the best lectures and you will learn so much.
Inspirational and is a must take class. His philosophy is "think differently" and he'll change your life. If you need some legal help, go to Professor Lynch. His classes are engaging with his videos and examples. I never imagine having fun learning law with his scenarios and examples. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask them.
Can sometimes go a little fast, covers multiple topics in one class, a lot to take in all at once.
He is very inspirational & lectures are always fun & interesting. He is very kind & easygoing. Very few easy papers & no exams. He loves it when you engage with him in class. You have to read 2 short books and write papers on the. Easy to reach outside of class. I wish i can take him for every class.
Professor lynch is very inspirational and easy going. Just read what he tells you too or dont youll still be fine if you show up and listen in class. 2 easy papers. He is one of those professors you can talk to him about any problems you might have in life.
Great teacher who makes the lectures interesting
I can't wait to take more of his classes. He focuses on real world problems with regards to the textbook. He makes the class feel personal, all though its a lecture. He is by far one of the best professors I have ever had. Understanding and passionate about what he does, this is what a professor should be likee.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM. THE MOST INTELLECTUAL, CHARISMATIC, ENTHUSIASTIC AND SUPPORTIVE PROFESSOR IVE HAD IN MY TIME IN COLLEGE. HE IS TRULY A GEM AND HIS TEACHING MAKES ME CRY OUT OF GRATEFULNESS. HE IS AMAZING. AMAZING. HE WILL MAKE YOU THINK SO SO DIFFERENTLY AND YOU WILL BE SO GRATEFUL FOR HAVING TAKEN HIM. HE'S THE SWEETEST AND HE TRULY CARES.
PERFECT CLASS. PERFECT LECTURES. WONT REGRET IT.
AMAZING PROFESSOR. LITERALLY A TRUE GEM. I ASPIRE TO BE LIKE HIM.
Professor Lynch is the best professor I have ever had, he cares so much about each and every person he meets. His classes teach amazing life techniques, both in business and in personal life, I am so grateful to be in his class, I 100% recommend
Midterm and Final are both 4-5 page papers. Both are extremely easy. His classes are fun and he is a great lecturer, he knows how to command an audience. Easy class, easy A.
TAKE HIM! Great & easy prof! Just show up to sign in for attendance and maybe read the books. He lets us out 20mins early often + cancels class twice a month! There's 2 EASY Papers (midterm + final), both are open-ended and based on your own experiences in life. He also EXTENDS the paper deadlines if asked! However he rarely responds to emails!
Covers A LOT of chapters at once and speaks really quick which makes it hard to stay on topic. The midterm and final were hard for sure.
Very easy! He's the only professor you want to take for this class! Two simple papers (both the midterm and final) which are easy, open-ended and based off of the books.
If you are looking for an easy A, take any class that Professor Lynch is teaching. He's really nice and chill. His lectures are really interesting and he'll open up your eyes to a lot of things. Two easy (but long) papers. He took attendance but I don't think he really used it for our grade. Take him, you wont regret it.
I never directly interacted with Prof. Lynch, nor did I even attend every session. However, the times I did attend, I learned a lot. Not just from the lectures, but from his behavior. Everything he did was a lesson, and even though I didn't take the class seriously initially, his impact on me was most profound after months of reflection. Take him!
life has changed drastically after taking his class. Listen to everything he says, and ponder it, ponder it, ponder it. Every single interaction I have had with people since hasn't been the same. If i can name one of the many things I've learned, it would be the techniques for matching other peoples language to build rapport. I USE THIS EVERY DAY.
One of the best! He is very, very passionate about what he teaches, and makes class very engaging. What he teaches is useful and will almost definitely apply to your life. He is very lax and is overall a fun professor. Tests are important but they are more than fair. I wish he would take academic integrity more seriously but otherwise, perfect!
He is a very nice professor. His lectures are very interesting and cool. I actually enjoy listening to him and the assignments were easy to do. He does grade hw pretty late however does get around to it at the very end. I most defiantly recommend you guys taking his class!!!
Amazing professor super caring love love love !!!
I took professor James A. Lynch for BUSN 3251 of the summer of 2022. it was a online class and I had zoom meeting once a week . he asked for 3 books to buy , but i didn't cause it was a short term to buy books and spent money . he was really a amzing professor . He only asked for two Homework questions and one term paper.
Prob not the best option for online asynchronous class. Maybe he's better in person. Very unclear grading criteria for HW, he was throwing random grades around. Gives everyone the same feedback. Posted review at the very last minute the night before the final exam. He was nice to provide us with the textbook I guess. Also never answers his emails.
Avoid! The prof makes out like he's ethical and accessible but he's not--never answers emails and is unclear about assignments. Gave random grades and same feedback on everyone's homework. Gave useless exam review sheet on the day of the exam. Our final grades were based on one homework and one exam and said he was going to curve exam but didn't.
Take this professor for winter class, he has clear grading criteria and is not harsh on grading, and the readings weren't hard to understand, the only downside is that the textbooks were hard to find.
Nice class, especially for summer. Only two homework and one essay based on the book.
Professor Lynch is a very good choice for students who want to have a good and comfortable class experience. He is very kind and informative. I highly recommend taking him if you can! He is a very clear grader as well.
