he is the greatest teacher ever!! and very funny!!
was an ok professor..he seemed cool in the beginning..but he had his bad days..he grades on a midterm final, and oral report nd a written..if you dont do well on any of them u arent goin to do well in the class
I did not like him because he can not teach. It was very difficult to study and to make a good grade on his exams.(I am A grade student)Do not take him.
I don't know what the last person was smoking but anyway. Professor lax's class was extremely easy. He jokes a lot and keeps you interested in what he is teaching. Recommened to all!
Great proffessor, very funny, and if you try at least a little you will have an A, if i wouldn't tranfer to Baruch i would defenetly take him again.
funny guy, easy going,
he is a great pro. he makes his students enjoy the class and uses us in his examples... very humorous and helpful...i recomend him to all
very funy , nice , and easy but you have to take very go nots and you are set, do not bay the book you would not need it just listen to him and take not his test is ok as long as you study his note . bottem line he is a very good prof , very very funy if you want to laugh you ass of take him.
he is not a great professor he joke to much and writes no notes yes he is funny but not good at educating
HE IS A GOOD PROFESSOR, HE MAKES CORNY JOKES BUT ITS FUNNY OVERALL HIS CLASS WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND I DID LEARN ALOT
To be fanny - does not mean to be a good teacher. If you care about your grade, do not take him.
i am not sure about him yet, since i just started this class. However, i honestly think that he should be doing something else rather than teaching at KCC... he's smarter than that...if i was him i would have my own law firm in Manhattan( which i will in the future)... Anyways, he's cool and smart- what else u want from a teacher?
If I could i'd put Lax #1 on funniest prof. page. Its been 3 weeks and i already got "married", "killed" my husband and got "prosecuted"...well, it's a rule u either die or kill in this class... :-) then, u really remember the law... IT'S ALL GOOD...
Prof lax is a cool guy, but lets face it he jokes too much in class, hardly gives notes, he trying too hard in order for people to like him, if you care about your grade, then obviously he is not the right guy.
He thinks he is funny...tries to hard to be funny...The only think he does is pick on students and cracks retarted jokes. Overall he sux!
HE IS FUNNY... I LOVED HIM... HE IS SMART TOO... VERY INTERESTING AS WELL... PEOPLE THINK THEY DONT HAVE TO WORK HARD IF A PROFESSOR IS FUNNY... NOT TRUE; GOTTA KEEP UP AND YOU WILL BE FINE... SOMEONE SAID HE PICKS ON STUDENTS? THAT IS THE BEST PART..

He doesn't concentrate too much in what he is teaching, he jokes a lot and I don't think student go to College to hear his jokes. I didn't learn too much in this subject.
if u want to have a good, he is not the guy.even u had a perfect attendence, or participated. he doesn't care, he only would look at the score that u took in class.
easy. take good notes and study for the test

Good teacher, funny at times. Gives good notes.
He is not quite a good professor as he only sits there and reads his notes which are straight from the book. He also goes off topic a lot. No review sheet whatsoever. Basically, I would not recommend this professor since you can just read the textbook yourself.
Highly recommended! Great professor. Very entertaining and extremely funny.Delightful personality and demeanor. His entertainment really gets his points across very well in a way that makes forgetting difficult.Very reasonable in course requirements.You will be laughing until your stomach falls out.
Ridiculously awesome. He's entertaining in a way that makes you actually learn the subject. I really don't understand how anyone could fail his class.
He is real cool, down to earth. His method of teaching is realistic and comprehensible to students. Most importantly he makes the subject seem that much more interesting.
Hes a very good teacher professional, and funny too. Just take notes and study for his tests and you'll do fine. No nextbook needed unless you would like to read extra.
great prof. very helpful and funny. Always keeps the class interested, and goes a bit off topic sometimes to break the boredom of learning. Defiantly worth taking.
Down to earth. The only article you must read is "Jackson vs conn lottery." I studied for his test mad times, but questions come out to be tricky. I think he needs to prepare himself to gives us a prep for his test.
I enjoyed his class...he's a cool professor...but the only problem is his test....it's tricky..all the T/F or M/C seems correct but it just turned out that by one word..its not correct... even thou i studied his test hard, but still got grades like C's
His class was the most interesting ones of all my fall semester classes. He is a cool and funny professor and I learn a lot with him. He makes the class really interesting but his test are really tricky. If you go to class and study will pass.
Excelent professor
He is a great professor a fun to take class, I took it in a winter, there were no hw, test based on notes he gave in class, he is liniant on lateness, and final he gave was an open book final we were allowed to us our notes for a final
He is....let's say one of a kind:)...sometimes you will hate him and sometimes not- but his class is hard. You need to take a lot of notes, his questions in the exams are based on a lot of the examples he gives in class. You do need a rough skin because if you ask a question or say something wrong, he will make fun of you and crack endless jokes!
He is great professor! His class is very interesting and fun
Nice professor. if you work hard you can get A.you have to study. it's fun to take his class. he tells a lot of jokes and funny examples.
He is the beacon of light in a dark and dreary world.
He is like Peter Russel.
An awesome professor! study hard and take notes cause his exams are difficult.One thing you should know....don't bring a scarf to class if its not winter...lol
He is amazing, love his class and he is so great that i even took Law13 with him. One of the best professor at kcc. His test are hard but if u take good notes u will do great. He is funny. do not try to argue with him cause he will pick on u during all semester. But overall EXCELLENT wish there are more professors like him
This professor talk all the way to the last 5 minutes of class then he actually rush and give u little notes. he is the worst professor, you will not learn anything in his class. he gives joke and talk alot of nonesense and his exams make no sense. waste of time and money, please you will regret taking him.
Whoever wrote comments before me is an idiot! Professor Lax is the BEST! His class is absolutely amazing and he explains everything in a fun way. His tests are hilarious and you will literally be crying from laughter reading his tests. I think he is the best...take is you will never regret it!! :))
Good professor, a bit hard and you need good notes, but you will learn a lot. Overall he's a professor on a level of senior colleges and i do recommend him, unless you dont like to write a lot of notes. Btw he gives approximately an 18 point curve =)
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! I LEARNED A LOT, SO MUCH THAT I ALSO TOOK BA13 WITH HIM. HE IS THE BEST, BUT HIS TESTS ARE NOT EASY AND KIND OF TRICKY. IF YOU TAKE NOTES AND STUDY, YOU'LL DO GREAT. REALLY FUNNY PROFESSOR. BEST CLASSES I HAD AT KCC. HE IS BETTER THAN THE PROFESSORS I HAVE NOW AT BARUCH. TAKE HIM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT
good teacher, uses great examples, makes a difficult textbook easy to learn AND remember. Tests are all relevant to classwork. If you PARTICIPATE you will do even better (cuz u remember more)
BEST FREAKING PROFESSOR AT KINGSBOROUGH BY FAR. MADDDD CHILL AND HE PROVIDES SO MUCH INSIGHT INTO LAW. PROVIDES EXAMPLES AND MAKES EVERYTHING CLEAR. IM EVEN TAKING BA13 AND I DONT NEED IT. LAX IS AWESOME. NUFF SAID
HE'S A GOOD PROFESSOR
not really hard, you have to study , make you laugh by his examples, dont bring anything weird in his class.
Best Comedian ever!I went to his class ,just for laugh
I took him in the spring semester. His class was extremely hard. The questions on tests were tricky and it seemed like there were 2 right answers. Also he doesn't believe in reviews and he doesn't go over tests. His outline wasn't clear either. He's funny but overall, he didn't have a very effective teaching style.
Senior college level professor. Requires a lot, but it makes sense. You have to attend his classes because its very hard to catch up what you missed. Overall, he is a smart and helpful if you pay attention.
Terrible & worst I've ever had. Took him for the 3 wk express course. T/F exams were very tricky & difficult. Studied mad hard & did not get a passing grade on T/F exams. He only cares for exam scores. Instincts r telling me there is something wrong w/ him. If u r strictly concerned about your grades, do not take him.
Excellent professor, and although his test are very tricky if you study you'll get a good grade. Also he is funny and keeps you awake so you don't have to worry about having a boring class
He is Passionate about law .. Keeps lectures interesting by relating the course info with what is going on in the world currently .
Inspirational and awesome is what Professor Lax truly is. Great class, and very interesting if you pay attention that is. Don't be late mostly because you'll miss a great class time. Fair and Motivational. Thank you Professor Lax and once again you're AWESOME!!
This guy is freakin' hilarious! He saves me few dollars on coffee. Look forward to coming to his class everyday.
He is the most hilarious professor ever! I expected much less for this class. You will see the difference between a professor with passion in teaching students n those without after taking Lax. You will learn more than the course materials. But you need to keep up and pay attention in the class. Don't cut class and study hard.
He is an amazing professor and I recommend to other students who are taking any business courses to take his class. He has a good sense of humor,very kind and caring person. He cares about he's students and wants them to succeed in life. He is trustworthy and always uses good examples so the students can understand the subject better.
lax is the man , class is funny trust me you wont mind going everyday , gives u very helpful notes and a packet that if u study your guranteed to pass the class
Lax is HILARIOUS. If you've always wanted a non-boring comical professor with a great sense of humor he's your guy. Plus he's very insightful and makes good analogies. Hus class isn't that hard if you pay attention.
amazing will change your life!
super funny dude. he makes class interesting, and bearable. highly recommend taking him for b law, he's unlike any prof i have ever had (in a really good way)
It was one of my best class that I guarantee was an A
This class was absolutely excellent. There were 2 tests and then the final. Each test was 50 questions ALL TRUE OR FALSE. You may think that's easy, but some of the questions were a little tricky. We literally never opened the textbook and never got HW. I got mid 70s on both midterms, but I got a 96 on the final so he gave me an A- Great professor.
Took his class last semester (Fall2014) Excellent professor for those who love to talk. Interacts with his students in class alot. Slightly curves his exam grades (gives 3-6 extra pts ) All exams are TrueFalse. No hw or reading assigned, just take his print out and copy notes he gives during class. Review those and you will pass 100% .
Awesome professor, seriously recommend him to anyone who wants or has to take BA 12
Took BA 12 wit him . What can I say. Talks a lot about himself tells you that he cares about his students but in reality he doesn't. No respect. Interrupts students a lot because he is not interested in what you want to say. Then he gives u those confusing tests. Avoid if possible
Great Professor!! Made me actually think of going to law school Gives great examples which helps you really understand the material The tests make you think which is exactly what a law test should be Always answers questions and really cares about his students (even what smoothie I was drinking) Learned a lot and had fun in class
Professor Lax is mad cool. Tells jokes throughout lecture to keep you awake. He also uses his students in examples to help you remember scenarios. Tests are completely true or false. Sounds tougher than it is because he gives major curves. He gives out a packet for notes, no textbook.
The tests are true or false. I took this as a winter course and if it were any other class I would never want to make the trek from Queens to BK in the snow. He even let us start earlier and finish earlier. Best teacher at KB I had and was thankfully my last teacher there too. Plus theres no textbook he lets you print out this super helpful booklet
I don't like Lax in my opinion, he's a good person and he means well but the packet he gives you for his test, don't actually help. Everything is explained on his terms! I really don't feel like I learned much about law but I definitely learned about Lax. He's a cool guy but if you take his class you MUST STUDY CONSTANTLY! Good Luck Everyone!
Lax was an amazing professor. He's the business chair so during my time with him he missed a few classes but was sure to curve our tests to make it fair. He uses real life examples and is definitely charismatic. I wish I could take him for every course! It's all lecture. NO writing on the board. Gives you a handout with all the course info you need
He is great professor. Come to class, pay attention, take notes and study. Interesting lectures.
His class is fun to be in and you can tell he has passion for what he is doing. His lectures are interesting and he always uses students in examples to help understand the material better. True and false exams and gives a packet to take notes in. It'a an easy A if you do your part and participate as a student.
He is good professor and good person. Gives a lot of examples to help understand better. Highly recommend.
Great professor, I would recommend anyone to take Professor Lax. He mixes humor and different scenarios into lectures which really helps you understand the material. By far, the funniest professor I have had.
I really liked his class. He makes u understand what the martial is about. He also make the class enjoyable and fun to go to. I wish all teachers could be like him
Great professor , very easy ! Explains everything very clear ! Brings lots of funny examples ! Just know the 4 elements of a contract A+ is guaranteed
He's an amazing and funny teacher
Amazing ! Lectures are funny. Explains everything, gives strong examples that makes you think. Highly recommended.
He is a great professor explain the work as easy as it can get ...
I have to say hands down he is one of the best professors in kingsborough! The dudes awesome. Every single day was a day of laughter and positive learning. He gives very good lectures and easy to comprehend. He's very respectful and positive. You will achieve zero stress. HIS TESTS ARE SO EASY!
Great pro Hands down!! His study packet is a life jacket! Without it U B lost. That's the only class I have NoT googled thing because he explains everything needed for exam in FULL details. But you must click you pen and click your mind. If you ever bought a cup of coffee on your own (without a parent) you could pass His class. Thank you Lax
He gave us the outline which was extremely helpful, not many professors in colleges do that. The outline is literally everything u need to know from test 1 to final. In the outline, he organized & summarize important terms u need to know for all tests. All true/false questions which r basically common sense questions. Prof is super nice & funny
One of those classes students remember for the rest of their lives. An out of earth professor. No words can describe.I wish I can attend another class with him.
AMAZING and HILARIOUS
He a hilarious ��! Everyone pass
One of the best professors I ever had!!!
Lax was an awesome profffesor. Gives excellent detailed lectures on each definition. Makes coming to class each day fun. Doesnt require a box, no homework. Participantion matters , he will call on you at random during lectures. I would recommend to anyone. I would take him again for sure.
By far the best professor! His examples in class are really good and help you remember for the tests! No homework or textbook! Would definitely recommend taking his class.
Prof teaching methos was Outstanding he gives his lecture using common life example... he always jokes around and the special this about him is when he mimics someone his face looks hilarious..
Great professor and managed to get a lot done in such a short course. Hes hilarious which is a bonus
Great professor . No Homework . All test , but if you really pay attention in class you should pass . Would definitely take him again .
Really good professor. He makes the class enjoyable to go to by telling jokes or funny experiences throughout the class. He also uses a lot of examples in order for you to understand the material better.
Funny laid back guy. Is there to help in any way you need.
Great professor! His explanations and examples are wonderful. If you attend classes, youll easily pass his tests. Gives extra credits. Classes are very entertaining.
Professor Lax has amazing lectures, he is one of the best professor I have ever had. I would definitely take him again.
He is the best professor ����
One of the bests professors I've ever met. I didn't miss even a minute of class because of nice and interesting lectures. You will have a lot of fun. Usually, I am A+ each class in college but wasn't here. I got B. I think I will take it again just for fun and also get my A+. Highly recommend getting class with this professor.
The way he uses example made this class very interesting it made me want to change my major. Prof. Lax the best
Honestly the worst professor I have taken in college.
He is the best professor. Lax, I will miss your classes.
No homework. Every test he did curve the score! The class examples make you easy to understand the law, but you still need to study!
It was not an easy A class. But you can learn real knowledge from Prof. Lax. He knows his material very well. And he gave a lot of examples to help you to understand. Take good notes, do review, you'll be fine.
Cool guy great teacher definitely learnt a lot from him always makes real life comparisons to the cases to we understand properly. Hes HEAVY on the jokes which is a plus for any class. Would take him again
funniest professor I've ever had ! I didn't even miss a minute. I've never cared about law but this guy makes you want to be there everyday. On top of that, he really knows his stuff
One of the best professors in the business department. Just show up to class and try your best , he will see this . Textbook not necessary. Really fun lectures and everything is straightforward. Take him you wont regret it !!
All the reviews were great for Prof Lax but I just took his first online class and it was awful! No helpful videos. Intense reading of complicated and difficult content. Exams were long and HARD. He lowered grades because he felt we were doing too well on exams, extra credit was not accounted for either. Disappointed.
I took his BA12 online class for the winter session. This is one of the worst professors I have encounterd at KB. He provides no review sheets for tests/final,offers no powerpoints on chapters. You basically have to study for everything. What's worse is his online test are timed at 50 questions in 50 minutes. No way he wants you to pass his class.
This man was the worst professor i had yet if my GPA goes down I'm going to be very upset.
Do not take this course because exams are 90% of your grade and the exam questions are only 1/4 related to the practice homework questions he gives out. There are no reviews either.
Great proffesor
Boring
Funny, laid-back professor who is very helpful. unstuck ai was a great study aid alongside the free textbook. Attendance mandatory, but worth it.
