He is a good professor, but he really gets distracted when you mention something important from the newspaper that he makes you buy every day. He can spent the whole session on that. One important thing that everybody had to know is avoid coming late, he will fry you in your final grade

Critical Thinking was a fun and enlightening experience. Dr. Evans may not be everyone's cup of tea (very opinionated) but he is a great professor and person, and makes the course amazing. If I could repeat this course, I would. Also, if you get, say, a B on the final, he might raise it to an A based on how much effort you've put forth in class.

He's a funny down to earth straight-foward prof. He tells a lot of personal stories. You must participate in his class, he'll call the quiet ones out. His quizzes had some unclear/tricky questions.

Professor Evans changes his rules and school rules depending on how he feels. I dont know how he got accepted as a professor at this school but they made a terrible mistake, he should be reviewed. If you are looking to learn anything do not take him. He is an egomaniac, and satisfies his ego by antagonizing his students.

I took this professor for the first summer session and I didn't find him THAT bad like what others have said about him. He is funny and down to earth, but at times, he can be rude. There was a lot of work given to us during the short summer session. Just make sure to participate because that is the main criteria he grades you on.

Prof Evans is funny & makes the class interesting. He is very direct & he doesn't sugar coat things which I guess some people may interpret that as being rude.

To get an A, follow the simple rules :don't be late, attend each class, do the assignments, TAKE the NOTES, TALK, TALK, TALK. The tests aren't that hard. That was the most enjoyable business class at BMCC for me. The professor is funny and intelligent. I miss mar100

He has a unique teaching method, yet it doesn't mean better. Blog and Participating are extremely important, yet, he does not have clear grading criteria. Therefore, you don't know how much is adequate to participate and how to improve your blog better. NO EXTRA CREDIT. Students who're talkative definitely has more advantage than those who's not.

Professor Evans is a friends-first professor (he will deny it); interact with him and say a few funny things, do some of the work and you'll receive a B. HOWEVER, if a B is not what you want, getting an A is tricky. No clear grading criteria, just "do what the homework says", no feedback and doesn't give back assignments. Double edged sword.

The first impression of Prof. Evans was funny. However, he was unorganized with class lecture and there was not have a clear grading guidelines which you wont know how you are doing, how can you improve it. I didnt learn so much in his class and I regret that I took the class. If you want to learn something, dont take his class.

He wants you to participate but when you say one or two things, the next week he will call you out in front of the whole class and accuse you of not participating. He always says that he doesn't remember who participate the last week and lower your grade. He fails this girl who always participates and everybody knows she does. It's just sad.

Professor Evans is a wonderful teacher. He is funny, kind, and also serious about what he teaches. Make sure to read the textbook and to participate. He is serious about participation and attendance but also lighthearted and very funny. I recommend this class but you have to do the work. He is clear with his expectations. Would take him again!

Professor Evans is one of the best professors at BMCC. He is very detailed in his lectures and he always gives time to students during office hours to help them with their questions. Business Law was one of his classes I took and I enjoyed it. Being punctual, doing your homework and office hours visits is an easy A.

Didnt like taking his course at all. I felt as though his lectures were disorganized. 50% of your grade is class participation but I found myself unable to raise my hand because I wasnt learning anything. I felt like the lectures were a waste and didnt cover most of the stuff youd need to know on the tests. Plus he barley gives any quizzes.

I took him in my first semester. Initially, it was really hard for me to be a part of the class because the most important aspect of the class was to participate and he expects everyone to participate. As he is always available outside of the class, I was able to communicate with him about my problems which helped me to do great in the class.

Professor Evans was not organized with his lecture. The lecture can be from marketing strategy to his childhood or the history of New York, which seems knowledgeable. However, I didn't learn much from him, and he only go through the words that labeled in the book, which once we had finished three chapters in one lecture. There is no break allowed.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE TO PARTICIPATE DO NOT TAKE HIM. QUIZZES AND EXAMS ARE LONG BUT NOT THAT DIFFICULT. BUT HE IS VERY STRICT.

Class participation is half the grade and he expects you to know the law verbatim. The textbook is your best friend because a lot of the class is spent hearing his personal stories. Students would try and voice their concerns and hed just be extremely rude and offensive at times even when they were only trying to learn and do better.

He seats in the corner and literally naps during the videos, that you will watch almost every class. He is extremely rude when a question is asked.

Prof Evans is great at conveying his message and offers valid feedback. Participation is a must if you want to maximize on your grade. I took MAR100 during the semester when the pandemic forced classes to go online, and his transition was flawless and his teaching format works effectively on Zoom. I am taking him again for Business Law

I took this Professor for the Spring and it was the most useless thing. Teaching is not effective and it is completely a waste of time especially in a time like this. Stay away from this professor if you really want to learn and pass this course. He doesn't post grades on Blackboard at all so you're left wondering how you're doing in the class.

Professor Evans, is very straightforward. What material he expects done will reflect on the outcome of your grade. Very easy to pass if you pay attention and ask for help when you dont understand he would make sure to explain. He is very knowledgeable on the course material and will always be able to answer your questions!

I had a disappointing experience with this professor. He tends to focus on minor details, which can be quite frustrating. It often feels like we are expected to teach the class ourselves, and when I reached out for clarification on assignments, I struggled to get a response to my emails. Part 2 below

Participation requires constant verbal engagement, which can be challenging for those who need a moment to gather their thoughts. If you have issues with assignments he responds with indifference, suggesting that if you register for his class, you should be able to manage the work. Overall, I found his attitude to be quite unpleasant & petty. Pt2

Professor does not care for emails expects you to prioritize solely his class makes it difficult to work and attend school. He doesn't care and he says it. Lectures on and on about participating and cameras on. Genuinely confused on how this kind of logic exists. Gosh forbid people have a life outside of class.

Ignore all the negative reviews. Prof. Evans is beyond reasonable and places his expectations very simply and clearly before you. If you do what is expected of you and make sure to participate and do your work, there should be no reason you should fail. Taking the winter course was worrisome but Prof. Evans had a great pace and good lectures.

very stingy and disrespectful to his students.

Only thing good is the textbook is free.

The professor is often condescending and sarcastic, expecting students to instantly understand complex legal terms as if we've had the same training he did. Instead of explaining concepts clearly, he mocks students who struggle, calling them "geniuses" in a belittling tone. His attitude makes learning difficult.

He is very strict, you must participate in class. And he is very difficult when it comes to technical issues or he will not inform you about certain assignment's. if you speak up he will embarrass you. Take this class with caution and if you already know about law. he isn't understanding in anyway, goodluck.
