Hands down, the best professor I have ever had. I am in my third year at ISU and I have never had such an amazing professor like this man. He is hilarious and honest to god the only class I did not consider dropping this semester. It is so sad that we could not meet in person. I will say the exams are hard af but, he curves it a ton! ily jeff
If you have the chance, just take Hahn. He makes a rather boring topic very interesting in his lectures. He is a lawyer himself, so he's very credible on the topic and provides real world examples. There's no homework, just exams that he curves heavily and extra credit.
Jeff is the most fun professor I have ever had! He really cares about his students and makes his lectures about fun stories about his friends. He also curves every exam you take because he knows it's hard. Textbook is optional, I never read it and I have an A. Just go to the lecture and have a good time!
Jeff is AWESOME! He really cares about his students, and understands that Online learning can be difficult. As long as you go to the e-lectures, you will do great on the tests.
Jeff is the craziest professor I've ever had (in a good way). He makes online lectures and class in general very fun and interesting. He attempts to get to know his students and is very understanding. The tests are difficult, but he gives a huge curve each time and there is a study guide. Take him as a professor, you'll be missing out if you don't.
Tests are definitely hard but they are designed for that and are curved by a decent amount. As long as you show up he will prepare you for everything. Can't recommend taking Jeff more, best teacher I have had in my last 4 years of college. Wish I could take him for another class. It's not even close, best teacher at ISU!
Jeff is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is so available to his students and is always there to help them 24/7. I would easily take another class with Jeff. He makes online lectures great and he is so understanding of his students. JEFF is GREAT!
You'd be dumb not to take him. The class wasn't hard at all and he's so understanding. He makes some funny comments during class and has crazy stories. He doesn't give HW, curves his exams a lot, gives extra credit and attendance isn't mandatory but its fun to go.
Professor Hahn is the most caring professor I have ever had, he genuinely wants his students to succeed and will do whatever to make that happen. His lectures are so much fun, he incorporates real-life examples that make the content feel real. Tests are difficult, but he gives a pretty big curve and makes sure that no-one is left behind.
I love this professor. This is my first semester at ISU and I never have a professor who's very passionate about this class. He mentions his stories and real life experience in each chapter. Definitely worth taking his class! You'll never regret.
AMAZING professor. Class was online due to Covid-19 but Jeff made it such a smooth transition. Such a funny and down to earth guy. Always willing to help you and is available outside of class. Tells really funny stories and gives extra credit opportunities. Also gave away some prizes for attending class. ISU is lucky to have him. TAKE HIM
Jeff is by far the best professor at ISU. This was his first semester at ISU and he was amazing, the school is lucky to have him. Jeff is so down to earth, funny, and makes class entertaining. He really cares about his students and it shows. You will not regret taking him. Tests are hard, but he curves them heavily, even offers EC if you ask.
Take this class and never look back. Best professor Ive ever had. If all professors were like Dr. Hahn the world would be a better place.
Literally the best professor of all time. Relaxed, funny, helpful and an easy grader. His goal is for every student to get an A in his class and he tries his best to make it possible. If you are taking this class you absolutely have to take Hahn.
Jeff is awesome. Best professor I have ever had. Lectures are fun and interesting. 100% take FIL 185 with him!
Jeff is the funniest professor ever. You will catch yourself wondering if he's even allow to say the things he does. His tests are very hard but he puts on a great curve. Take this class with him. If you want to learn something go to lecture, if you don't care to learn, don't go to lecture and you can probably wing it.
Hahn is one of the only professors you can sit through a class and enjoy. 4 tests throughout semester. Tricky tests but he curves them VERY WELL so you don't have to worry. He doesn't want his students to fail so he tries to help everyone out. Great professor
The best professor I've ever had. Great professor, everyone should take Jeffs classes. Very available to students and curves tests amazingly.
If you have a chance to take this class, absolutely take it. Jeff cares about all of his students and is always willing to help. The tests are extremely curved and he truly wants everyone to succeed.
Jeff is the best and actually understands how it is being a student taking this course. He helps everyone out and makes taking this course a blast. He is easily one of the best professors I've had.
The only thing good about this prof is that he gives a generous curve. He only has to give this curve because students do so badly on his tests, which are written poorly. He makes inappropriate jokes in class, spends too much time talking about his divorce, and does both on tests as well. He may be friendly, but he is a poor teacher.
Hahns humor can be a bit over the top at the beginning. But once you get used to it, he is a great professor. He is passionate about teaching and really cares about the students. You can reach him almost anytime. 100% take him. You wont regret it.
Amazing Prof
Hes the best teacher Ive ever had at ISU he cares so much. I recommend going to his classes because his stories relate to the tests but its so entertaining you wont mind. Only grades are tests and they make you think but are not hard as long as you have the notes and pay attention to his examples. Theres no reason you shouldnt get an A.
Amazing professor. Cares about students and topic.
Jeff is one of the best professors I've ever had. He emphasizes actual learning rather than just getting a decent grade and his lectures are really enjoyable. You can tell he really cares about students and their success.
The best professor I have ever had
Showing up to this class is actually something that I looked forward to. If you show up and take notes, you will without a doubt get an A+. Jeff makes the class enjoyable and entertaining and is one of the best professors I've ever had. I would highly recommend taking any law class with Jeff as your professor.
Jeff is a real gem, honestly wish I would of gone to class more, because his lectures were great. He explains things through a very real-life perspective giving countless examples. Always there if you need him, seems to honestly care about teaching. Tests were a little challenging requiring some critical thinking but he curves them very generously.
Jeff is the best! I hate going to school, but I didn't complain when it comes to Jeff's class. His tests are super easy and he doesn't assign homework. The best part of the class is the jokes because they're actually funny. Most of my college teachers are boring. TRUST, you're not going regret it. Jeff is the best teacher I have gotten so far.
Jeff was a comedian in another lifetime. He makes lectures entertaining while still getting the material across. There's four exams and extra credit opportunities. Exams are hard but he curves it very generously. Jeff is a man of the people! Highly recommend taking a course with him if you ever get the chance. One of the best professors I have had.
Jeff is a legend and always will be. He lives all the way in Wisconsin and comes down here to give his students the best possible chance to understand business law. Which is not the most interesting stuff, but he makes it interesting. He tells the best stories and his response time is immaculate. Overall, best professor I've had to date.
One of the best professor I have had, he is super easy going, does not give homework, hilarious in and out of class. He curves the tests. Coming to class isn't mandatory but I recommend coming, he makes a boring topic extremely interesting.
Reviews don't lie. Literally the best professor you could ever take. Hilarious, curves tests, and is a super chill guy. Don't miss the chance to take a class with him.
Just an overall legend, he gives the FATTEST curves ever, he makes so many funny jokes and is the most engaging professor I have ever had and will ever have. He cares about each and everyone of his students and is so easy to access, he responds in the group me in .5 seconds and everybody loves him. His energy is unmatched, hes the goat.
Professor Hahn has a lot of fun stories that make lectures very interesting. There are 4 tests all of which are online and open note. He also gives you the notes so attendance is not mandatory. Overall a super easy class and a fun professor who will actively respond.
Simply the best. He captivated everyone in class and makes them want to listen. Tests are a little hard but HUGE curve. like got and 80 on a test and the curve brought me to a high A. Such a good teacher. Don't miss out on this class!
Jeff is a great guy and an even better teacher. You can tell he cares for his students and loves the to teach. Couldn't recommend him enough
Easily one of the best professors I've ever had. Going to class was not necessary to succeed, however I went to each class because he would always tell an interesting and funny story that helped you to remember the material. I have taken away many life lessons from him that I can use in my daily life. Take his class if you get the opportunity.
Jeff is a really personable and knowledgeable professor. His experience in law helps him give lots of amazing examples that really are important for the exams. Overall, the entire grade is based on four exams taken throughout the semester. The final is not cumulative. While attendance isn't required he does occasionally give extra credit!
the goat
Best teacher I've ever had. U the man Jeff, stay golden!
Jeff is the absolute GOAT. Best professor at ISU and makes his students laugh repeatedly. Class only has 4 exams all online and no homework. 100/10 recommended taking FIL with Hahn you won't regret it.
By far the best professor I have had in my 4 years at ISU. Funny, charismatic, and seems to genuinely care for his students. If all professors were like Mr. Hahn... life would be much easier. You take 2 tests throughout the semester and a group project at the end. Tests are difficult but so is life. Mr. Hahn curved both tests and is simply the goat
Wow. What a guy. Funniest teacher you will ever have. While business law sounds boring Jeff makes it interesting. Attendance is not mandatory but I found myself looking forward to class. Your grade is made up of 4 exams but you can get a 20% on all of them and still get an A in the class. Also DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK! Will not need it.
Literally the best. So easy for senior year it was nice to catch a break with a professor for once. Barely has anything to do all semester, and he grades pretty easy. His tests are hard but he curves them. Be smart, take him, laugh, get an A.
TAKE JEFF'S CLASS!! You will not regret it. He truly cares about his students and wants everyone to do well in the class. Grades are all tests other than extra credit. His lectures are never boring, he makes them so fun with the stories he tells. Jeff is always down to meet outside of class. Very nice guy and definitely my favorite professor.
Interesting lectures, and somewhat difficult tests. Mr. Hahn is an overall good teacher to take a class with because of his teaching methods and how he is able to keep students attentive throughout his lectures. He is always willing to help his students if they don't understand something. Took his class last spring and have nothing negative to say
Super easy. Curves every test
DOG OF A PROFESSOR. Just do yourselves a favor and take any class he teaches.
Hilarious in his lectures. Talks to all of his students through any media available. Very understanding about difficulties and honest about grade curves.
Best professor at ISU
Jeff is hands down the best professor I have had at ISU. He genuinely cares about his students and will go above and beyond to make sure students succeed in his class. Class grade is determined by 4 exams & they are challenging but Jeff generously curves the exam grades and does well to prepare you for the exams. No homework, don't need the book.
Jeff is easily one of the best professors at ISU, the class consists of 3 tests and an extra credit assignment. The tests are hard, but if you attend the lectures you are golden. Jeff also curves the tests, he is very knowledgeable about business law and gives real examples to show you applications of the law. Would highly recommend the class.
TAKE HAHN IF YOU CAN. He makes every lecture interesting by telling you actual stories about legal issues he has dealt with. You can go to class in person or you can attend on zoom every class. Honestly, you don't need to go to class at all he posts all the notes and lecture slides so you can use them on exams.
Mr. Hahn is very knowledgeable in the field of law. He knows what his stuff and tells a lot of stories about cases he has handled at his own law firm. Grades are based on the tests and his curves are "famous." Easiest class ever, but I actually learned a lot. The only negatives are his excessively crude language and horribly inappropriate stories.
Jeffrey Hahn is by far the best professor I've had at ISU. I definitely recommend taking him you will not regret it. I learned a lot from attending his lectures, which broadened my perspective on business law greatly. In fact, it has inspired me to learn more about the law in my own time. The two low ratings are completely inaccurate!!
Is this professor biased? Yes, he is biased in favor of all his students. Hands down the greatest professor I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. Lectures include personal stories that actually help you remember the content, and I never skipped any classes because they were always amazing. The main thing he taught me is never marry a lawyer.
4 tests are the only grades he puts in for this class, as well as extra credit for attendance if the class doesn't have many people. He curves the tests pretty heavily, it's pretty hard to get a C or lower in this class. Hann is the G.O.A.T.
All of Hahns lectures include personal stories that help you remember content, attendance isn't mandatory and also gives a zoom link if you don't wanna attend in person. Super funny and curves all his tests almost impossible to do bad in this class. All tests were online. Take his class
One of those professor's who actually cares about students. He'll make you laugh. I learned more in his class unintentionally than paying attention in any other class. He has a way of keeping everyone engaged.
Take Business Law with Jeff. I learned so many different (and relevant!) subjects about law that I didn't before. These are not dry lectures, and he uses real life experiences that he's seen as an attorney. A lot of his examples are funny and he really does care about his students.
Amazing, hilarious, caring. Easy tests and has the best stories in class that actually make you want to learn about law. Turns a boring course into my most memorable course
The man loves teaching and hates giving bad grades. His classes are accommodative of any schedule - Lectures recordings and slides are posted online; tests are online at your leisure. He's available to help you with class and with life anytime. I cannot recommend hm enough!
G.O.A.T.
Phenomenal professor, and one of my favorite in college. Great professor, and a great dude to hang out with. Very lenient but you won't use that to your advantage cause his lectures are genuinely hilarious. He would be a great stand-up comedian.
Hahn is probably the best professor I have had at ISU. His lectures are entertaining and concise. He's also very resourceful with advice. He literally even said that as long as you come to class and take the exams, you should get at least a B. I would definitely recommend.
Best professor at ISU!! Definitely recommend taking the class with him.
Best professor I have ever had. 10/10 recommend
Definitely one of the best professors I've had. He makes a boring law class interesting. The exams can be difficult but he curves them heavily. I will say if you are easily offended or can't take a joke don't take his class.
Honestly one of the best professors at ISU! Very funny guy who makes lectures super interesting to attend. Very easy going with tests with a huge curve added to all of them. He truly wants everyone to get an A. I recommend taking his class!
Grade is only 4 tests (and occasional extra credit), but they are multiple-choice questions that apply the content from lecture. The stories Hahn tells can sometimes be crude but they are super helpful in remembering the content! He's always available to meet or message and cares about his students.
If you want a professor who is going to care about you and teach you some boring material in an extremely fun way, this is your guy. Nothing but good things to say about him. Honestly wish he would teach more courses. He is the greatest professor I have ever had. His jokes are funny, and his stories are entertaining.
This guy is a blessing. Take him
Hahn was the best professor I've ever had here. He truly cared about every student and he wants everyone to succeed. The only negative (and positive) is that it consisted of only 4 tests. So if you perform poorly on one or two tests your grade could end bad with no room to improve it.
Jeff is an amazing professor! His lectures are extremely funny and educational. Additionally, Jeff deeply cares about his students. He wants to see each of us succeed in his class. Finally, there is no homework, only Exams. But, the Exams are easy because they're open notes and he curves your Exam grades! Take Jeff for FIL 185!
Literally only attended a few classes at the beginning of the semester, but still passed the course. Hahn wants his students to pass, and thus makes the class as easy as it can be. He cracked lots of jokes during lectures, but they were oftentimes inappropriate. Open book exams that are taken through Canvas, he was chill.
Not only is he hilarious and entartaining, he is extremly knowledgeable, take him for FIL
super ez proffessor
Hes amazing and super chill. You can contact him anytime of day for literally any reason. There's only a few extra credit points but if you just go to class or join the zoom you'll get it. His lectures are entertaining and interesting. Just 4 exams for the class and they're open everything (google, notes, etc.). I love this class!
He is a great person and an easy professor. He just wants his students to get an easy credit with his class. Your grade is based on 4 exams, so it's easy but scary if you don't do well on one or two of them, but exams are open for days and you have 2 hours to complete them. You are able to reach him in any way, and he responds fast.
He is a very kind professor, who wants nothing more than to see us succeed. He cares to build a connection with his students and often tries to make his lectures fun. His class is a class I often look foward to. His exams are not stressful and he allows it to be open-note and he gives us days to complete it as well as an extended timer for the exam
LOVE Hahn. Great professor that is unconventional in all the right ways. Graded by four quizzes and a few random extra credit opportunities tied to attendance. Lectures are recorded and given as an option to do remotely. Hahn cares a lot about his students especially outside of the classroom. If you ever need advice, he is the person to go ask.
Prof Hahn is the best and is super chill! Grade consists of 3 quizzes and then the final which is just quiz 4. Quizzes are online and he doesn't care if you google or text him any questions you have during the quizzes. Class was always engaging. Always wanting to help students! I wish he could teach me all my business courses.
very easy, no homework, but grade is based on 4 exams and makes it so that there's no room to improve. lots of people love him because hes a "cool funny" teacher but most of his jokes are just creepy inappropriate and crude. most people enjoy that but it was weird and uncomfortable to me. depends on your preferences i guess
Great teacher. Probably one of my favorite teachers. I did not miss one class because he just made the lectures very interesting and funny so it helped make me want to actually go to class and learn. Overall a great guy. Also there is no homework.
Teacher has lots of fun stories for lectures. His class is easy if you show up and listen to lectures, test heavy but easy tests based off lectures. Teacher cares about students succeeding.
Classes are enjoyable and nothing like the usual boring lectures, his humor, caring attitude, and real-life examples make a huge difference
I have to say, Jeff was definitely one of the most interesting professors here at ISU. Between his random stories and wild humor, he really did make the class enjoyable. Dude really cares and is very much pro-student. Class is made up of 4 fairly easy exams with his humor thrown all in it.
Love Hahn. He is definitely a professor who is for the students. He has amazing and entertaining lectures where he adds in a lot of personal stories of his. He is very responsive and I've called him once to ask for help on an online exam question when he was flying his plane. -10 points for not rounding my grade from a 89 to an A though....
