The sweetest, most caring professor ever. Always smiling and genuinely loves his job. As long as you put in your full effort, it is manageable to get an A. If you skip class, it will be extremely difficult to do well as the crucial information is in his lectures as opposed to the textbook (you only use the textbook to look at case studies).

Prof Evora is good. He's not amazing which is why I didn't give him a 5 but really no complaints. The only complaint I have is you gotta really pay attention because the lectures aren't really online so you'd have to study out of the book. BSL212 is just a hard class in general. Somewhat tough grader. Solid 4.5/5.

I'm not sure why this professor has good reviews. He is not a good lecturer and is very unclear. The grade is made up of 5 quizzes and a final which he grades completely subjectively. He is disorganized and frequently misses mentioning information important for the quizzes. I would not take him again.

Professor Martinez-Evora is a fantastic man. This course is definitely very reading heavy, but as long as you can understand all the components of each chapter you'll be fine.

Professor Martinez-Evora is genuinely a nice guy, which is why his rating is so high, but I wouldn't take his class again. He constantly changes the syllabus and forgets to discuss information that will be on tests. Better profs in the BSL department to take

He is a very nice man and is super funny but his lectures are hard to follow at times. his notes are messy!! quizzes are straightforward and if you lock in a day before the quiz, you will be fine. be prepared to have a quiz almost every week tho. he takes attendance every class and it is a big part of ur grade. he is always willing to help students

This professor was great; he clearly knew what he was talking about and made the course very easy to understand. All sections have a lot of quizzes (read the book, it will help), and some of them were easier than others. He's always interested in helping students; sometimes the content is hard (which is out of his control).

class has completely changed from previous semesters. No "tests" but your whole grade is 3 quizzes and a final. loves trick questions on mcqs, easy grader on written parts. Hes a nice guy but his teaching is everywhere and lacks organization. Loves to turn everything into a riddle and will never give you an actual direct answer

Business law here is honestly just a hard class in general but I really think he is the best professor to take. If u pay attention in class and actually go it's not bad at all. Just study a day before the quizzes and you'll be good. He definitely prepares well for the final which I know a lot of other professors didn't

Amazing prof. Very funny. 2 exams midterm primarily on 1 chapter and final is technically cumulative. We got a cheat sheet - you just need to ask for one. You watch Silicon Valley and do a discussion post once a week. Def not a typical BSL class but I really enjoyed it. Group memo that you later revise and presentation. Go to office hours 100%
