Hard class but you learn alot. Funny guy, but won't tolerate absences or late work. Participation is a huge grade, and the papers are hard. Worth it if you'll do the work
cool guy, hard grader, you'll get C's on the papers, but its worth it, great class
you'll love this guy but hate the work. it's definately worth it if you want to get something out of this class
Generally a jerk, plays favorites, negative towards students, makes you not want to come to class, no matter what the student is always wrong.
Nice guy, grades hard, but they really try to kill you in Business Org/Leadership from what I have heard, so I am pretty sure the other professors grade just as hard. He's a young lawyer, so he's pretty well spoken and presents the material well.
He's one of the best I've had. He is a straight shooter, very witty and sarcastic. He's almost never serious and uses a lot of self-depracating humor. The final project was an amazing experience, and homework is just reading a few pages per week. A+++
I didn't really care for McCoy as a person very full of himself and cocky...A very hard grader, if you get the chance to take an easier grader I would.
Great teacher, always having fun. Grades hard but his class was fun to go to which matters more to me.
Business Organization and Leadership is a difficult class no matter who you take it with...He is a nice guy and a quality professor
Great, funny professor. Hard class no matter who you take it with, at least with him you'll laugh while your at it. Would take him again if I had to. I'll probably take another class with him. 3 or 4 papers total and a final group project/presentation, homework is just reading; Hard on absences.
Funny
Hard class in general no matter who you take it with ... hes so funny fun class to go to i love him and hes kinda hot in a weird way... hes a very nice guy cracks a lot of jokes never gets mad or yells always smiling...theres like 4 pages... when writing the paper no one ever really knows that their
The ones that says he picks favorites, its true ,but he isnt a jerk at all. He likes students that talk. The whole point of SOM101 is to gain leadership skills. So for the student who left that comment, he/she probably got a bad grade because he/she didnt speak up, or attend so he/she is just sour.
professor mccoy is awesome.. he is so funny in class, always making jokes to keep the class lively. the papers can be a little stressful, but he is not that tough of a grader if he knows you tried. Great class.
I LUUUUUUV MCCOY... absolutely amazing. had an 830am class, work full time, i didnt mind waking up early for this class. McCoy makes u laugh ur a$$ off and his class is so fun & interesting becuz of how he teaches it. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!!! Do yourself a favor!
Great guy, great class. No papers for this class, just midterm and final. Went to every class and enjoyed it. He may be cocky, but he is hilarious (and hot).
one of the best professor i ve every had. everyone is saying the truth. he is that fun and that interesting teacher. you must take him even if its an elective hes worth every minute. would love to take him again!
one of the best!
In general this professor is okay. Very funny with young female students. Critics foreigner students. Show off tendency.
very nice guy and he is very funny. hard but he knows it is hard for everyone so he is not a hard ass about it. i want to take another class with him.
mcCoy is the biggest show off ever. all he talks about is his car, the amount of money his wife spends, and his fathers wealth. he barely teachs the formulas and relevant class materials. he thinks he is funny-but in his conceited way he is. would not reccomend this class is you are type of student that needs a prof with clear instructions.
What a great guy! Soo funny. Great class. Never minded going. Time flew while we were there. Loved him and would def take him again if i could. Learned a great deal. Highly reccomend him!!
Probably the best professor I've ever had. Kept the entire class interested in a rather boring subject. Awesome guy for students to relate to. Funny as hell.
He's VERY loud. First class I had with him, I thought he was crazy. He's a fun guy though, and it makes the class go by pretty quick.
Loved McCoy big time !!!
At first, I thought he was funny and nice. Then, I realized he doesn't grade very well.
He is a great teacher wicked funny. you would love this class..
he is an idiot, do not even think about taking his class. very hard and useless.
He's probably the most fair professor at Suffolk. I didn't like him at first cuz he's cocky, but he's alright. If you get a 'C' in an assignment, you probably deserved it; vice versa for 'A' papers. His class isn't a breeze, so you'd have to work for an 'A'. My last impression is that he's a pretty cool guy.
I don't know why people complain about McCoy. He is very cocky, but he has his reasons. He is so knowledgeable about business and his stories and comments are wicked funny. If you don't read and don't participate, you should hate this class. By far, the best professor I've ever had.
Best Professor for SOM101 AND B.LAW 214! CLEAR, SARCASTIC AT TIMES, BUT GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT A GOOD GRADE, PARTICIPATE AND YOU WILL DO FINE.
McCoy is a great teacher, all you do in this class is read selected cases from the book which you need. In order to get an A just read the cases and have some input during class.
had him for su 101.. joke class. sat around and told stories. had a great time. learned a lot from him. i like him.
he is really boring, does not know anything, gives too much homework. Tests are really hard ;he does not want to give grade and he doesn't give extra credit
Useless fellow. You can take this class If you want to waste your money and time.
I don’t know why ppl say bad things about him. He is not an easy professor, actually he is hard grader, but his class is very interesting. At the begging I thought he was mean, but he is just that best professor that I have ever taken. I LOVE MCCOY. Do you readings and participate and you will be fine in this class. MCCOY you are a rock star man. G
is a very pompous man, can tell you more about his family than i can tell you about business, more foucus on personal life than his class, when it came down to the final project did not help at all, had to teach myself everything and did not feel well prepared at all!!!!however no tests or quizzes, one or two papers but never hands back any grade
He is a great teacher, doesn't require much homework besides reading which is good. He loves to discuss anything in class and gets everyone involved. If you like discussion oriented classes this is perfect. All and all a great class and great professor.
McCoy is a very good teacher. I went to every class, because i wanted to. Assignments are sparse and easy. The final project was an awesome experience. Learned alot about both Management AND the real world. Class FLEW by! I would highly reccomend taking him as a teacher. Probably my favorite prof. yet.
if u show interest in his class, he will show interest in to help you
show interest in his class and he will defenetly help u out. great teacher. be favorite one so far
McCoy was the greatest! I loved his class, even though SU101 in general is the absolute most pointless class ever. But McCoy was cool and I really enjoyed having him. Would recommend him to anyone, and I'd love to take another class with him.
Fantastic professor! Really makes an effort to get the class involved. Trys his hardest to get through to students who otherwise wouldnt give a damn. Doesnt take any**** though. Learned a lot from McCoy its too bad hes not going to teach anymore.
didn't liked him at all. def. had favorites in the class and tries too hard to be funny. some stories/jokes were but many just came off as rude and ignorant. but when he actually lectures and focus into topics, they were clear and used real life experiences as examples. other than that, i don't think i'd take another class with him
I would recommend him he is funny and a easy grader. If you participate you will get an A. You will actually learn something if you take his class and I recommend taking his Ethics class too.
He is a great teacher and is very funny definitely keeps you interested.
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is practicing business law and he really knows stuff~~~
by far the best teacher i have ever taken in my life. I love this guy. rocky
He is a VERY narcissistic, egotistic, careless professor. Learned more about his wife,kids and his car than management. Complains alot. Tells you what not to dp instead of what to do. If you area an international student DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS, I've watched him pick on int'l students almost every class for a good 10 minutes. Def. not taking him again
Extremely cocky but such a funny teacher. He knows so much and makes the class really interesting.
this man is the absolute t i t s ! ! makes class an enjoyable experience while learning the material
Best Professor I ever had!
McCoy is extremely funny and charismatic- but only gives T or F quizzes and very few other grades. Lucky for me I participated in his class a lot and was able to get an A still but I did poorly on the T or F quizzes because I over-analyzed all the answers. I'd take his class if you are an interactive person, but if you're shy or international....no
He has an all about me attitude. He is a lawyer so he thinks he's cool. he also has a lame kid show he brags about all the time. He is however, funny. thats it though. I recommend his class if you can handle a dude like this..
McCoy IS THE MAN! He is an excellent Professor. If you strive he will move mountains to help you and you will learn a lot in the process. I admire this guy.
Professor McCoy is the coolest teacher at Suffolk. He does a great job making the material interesting and you will be laughing the entire class. Highly reccomended.
This professor made possibley the most uninteresting subject (business law) fun. I take his class later at night and every night every one shows up because he is that great. He goes over the material in a conversational and hilarious way that makes you want to learn. Take him. Take every class he teaches.
Prof. McCoy is a funny guys and he let's it show. Although I appreciate listening to music before class and virtually hanging out,I expect to learn when I come into class. His discussion was so confusing that what he would say conflicted with material from the book. I tried my hardest yet and those who cheated/participated got the A. Kiss up to him
I loved him! i am international and i get what people say about him and being international but still! he made 8:30 classes great and I am even taking another class with him next semester! Love him as a professor and lawyer!
The greatest person ever. He is so funny and makes learning business foundations fun. SO lucky I got his as a freshman. I will try to take ever course he has to offer. Participate and he will love you, just be prepared to have all you answers shut down
McCoy is the man! He is a lawyer so clearly a BLE class with him is fantastic. He pulls from his own life experiences and stories and teaches concepts through those. Exams are all over the place though but will test your true understanding of concepts. He is also a fantastic person to have on your side (hint hint internships!!!)
McCoy is one of the best Professors at Suffolk. He expects students to do the work he assigns and discuss the material in class. If you do the work and participate his classes are entertaining and fun.
Prof. McCoy is a funny and amusing guy. This class is all discussion based; little to no work (no HW, no exams, etc.) The down side is that your whole grade depends on one final group presentation. An easy A class brought down my GPA because I had a crappy group...won't take another class of his, even though he's a likeable person, because of this.
Participation matters; I got A's on all of his exams, homework assignments, and essays but got a B+ because I barely spoke in class. Makes crude jokes about race, ethnicity, and stereotypes which can come off as offensive. If you can stomach his "jokes" the class is really interesting. He knows what he's talking about and I really learned a lot.
Prof. McCoy is really funny! He may seem very scatter-brained, but it's in a good place. He cannot help himself to make jokes - it helps with the lectures. He is an entrepreneur at heart and gives really good feedback and does not hold his punches! He really cares about what he does and is a great guy to stay in touch with.
Professor McCoy was without a doubt my favorite professor since I've been in Suffolk. He keeps class really entertaining and he also knows what he is talking about. I would encourage everyone if you have a chance to take a class with him. He does take time to grade assignments However, he lets everyone express themselves and he's worth taking. +509
Thanks McCoy for being at Suffolk otherwise I'd die from boredom at school
Great professor! One of the best in suffolk, if you have a chance to take his class, be sure to take it. You will not be disappointed and you will learn so much from him. He is a funny guy and I would recommend you to take his class.
This is the best professor I have at Suffolk. My mother is a lawyer and the last thing I wanted to be was a lawyer, but I have to admit after taking this class, I'm considering going to law school. He is funny, he explains the material for you to remember and understand. If you study, and participate, you should do great.
McCoy is a great professor. He's funny and cares about his students. His lectures are wonderful and I'd definitely take another class with him.
I LOVE MCCOY! #TEAMMCCOY
Professor McCoy was a good professor for this class. His lectures, although they didn't follow the syllabus, were very interesting and based on events going on today. He talks a lot but encourages class participation. He doesn't really have any tests/quizzes, and there was a major project at the end of the semester. Overall a good class to take!
Best professor I have ever had in Suffolk. He has always been there for me and his classes are the best. Try to know him if you get the chance.
Give him a chance, gives good feedback and is definitely worth it
Excellent professor, very involved on campus. Highly recommend you take one class with Prof McCoy you wont regret it.
One of my favorite professors here at Suffolk! He knows what he is talking about. It is easy to tell that he loves what he does and you will not regret taking him.
Best professor. Funny. Knows his stuff do yourself a favor and just sign up for his class.
Good teacher, great guy.
He is great and he really cares about his students. You can really notice his commitment to teach. The best teacher I ever had, he is very funny and admirable.
Fun lectures
the best
Professor McCoy is one of the best professors I've had in my short time here at Suffolk. He is really knowledgable about law and has alot of first hand accounts that relate to the material. He tells you straight up that he wants to give the students something else to learn besides the material. Really cool guy
A really awesome guy, tells a lot of funny stories and it makes class interesting instead of boring. no homework at all and only one test during the whole semester. The final exam is a formal presentation with groups and he's really nice about it
Mccoy is a little intimidating in the beginning, but he's a really nice guy and a great professor. Quizzes/Tests aren't too hard. Put good effort into the Case Studies.
Professor McCoy fared the online course struggles very well and used great examples to help us understand some of the law jargon we were working through. He also uses most of his examples given during lecture in exams, so if you pay attention and take notes, his tests will be easy to pass. Open notes exams & very few additional assignments.
Professor Mccoy's class was an easy a. He's a really funny guy and doesn't take things too seriously. He will be pretty honest when critiquing your group presentations, but its helpful and he's never mean about it. definitely recommend his class
Great guy. had him for 2 classes all very informative and fun. He likes to joke so don't be afraid to give it back. You'll have a great time.
Really great professor. Really funny and entertaining. His lectures are awesome and super informative. Definitely try to get him if you have the chance
He is a nice guy, but he barely teaches. He jokes every class and tells us all about his life, nothing to do with the class basically. His exams are hard so get ready, if he gives you a "study guide" DO NOT RELY ON IT!!!
Although his lectures stray far, far away from the syllabus, this will be a very engaging and interesting class. McCoy's main goal is to get everyone involved and inform you on real world skills and stories. He is hilarious and very open. We were only graded on two assignments in my class but they were very simple and he graded them very lightly.
Very cool and caring for the students at all time
Despite it being a quick, online summer course, the professor made the class very interactive and informative. The work and readings were not too bad and the lectures were also interesting and fun. Don't be scared to take the class - you'll learn a lot!
He comes off as a hard ass at times, but overall he wants nothing but the best for his students. He also doesn't use Blackboard very often so don't expect to rely on it to get relevant information
Prof. McCoy is great. I would take another class with him, no question.
Hes an amazing teacher and he teaches you through talking so as long as you listen you will get an A
So intimidating at first to the point where I wanted to drop the class and I know others who actually ended up doing so. Once you get to know his style of teaching he's truly a really great professor. He cares about his students succeeding and he's really passionate about what he does. If he likes ur class he'll give you a lot of extra credit.
Easy going professor
GOATED. Excellent and unmatched personality. You will not regret taking his class. Take any other professor and you'll be sorry, he is an absolute unicorn, you won't find anyone else like him. His lecture style is a bit unorthodox, but he genuinely cares about students not just in the classroom but outside the class as well.
He comes off tough but he's very educated and cares about his students. Take him online!!
I took him for BLE-215, I could not resist taking him for BLE-214. He is one of the top professors in the entire university, no one else is like him. He does not only care about your success in his class, but in other classes, and your life outside of classes. Must take. 10/10
The ABSOLUTE Best
This is my second time taking Professor McCoy and for good reason. He is an amazing professor. Very funny, nice, and caring. Lectures are never boring and you will always laugh in class. Class itself is pretty boring and lecture heavy but McCoy makes it bearable. If you haven't taken him yet, please do. You won't regret it.
Great Professor. Easy Class, especially online. Every class he lectures and sometimes shows things on his screen. It can be a boring class, but he hypes it with some jokes and interesting stories. He is not the best professor but he is also not a bad professor. He's great, I would take a class with him again!
BEST PROFESSOR! If you like professors who are real and funny take McCoy. I genuinely look forward to his class and he barely gives out homework. Super great guy and gives great stories and experiences. Super transparent about the real world.
Took this course online for convenience. I enjoyed Professor McCoy's lighthearted, informal approach and real-world applications of content. However, the online format hindered the class. He was frustrated by low participation and wouldn't move on until questions were asked. I'd 100% take him again, but I don't recommend taking his classes online.
Good professor and really funny. However, be prepared to be randomly called on to speak during class. Also camera on mandatory. Few assignments so if you miss one you are screwed. Doesnt round up grades.
He's a funny professor but clearly has favorites. I had the opportunity to be one of his favorites and if your not it shows in class. If you arent a very talkative or in class engaged student, you may be out of luck with your grade. He does give good real life scenarios though.
Professor McCoy is honestly one of the chillest professors I've ever had. He explains the material super clearly and makes class enjoyable with his storytelling. He does talk a lot (sometimes it's off topic), however, he never assigns homework, and we only had one "pop quiz" that he told us ahead of time. Def recommend taking is class, if you can.
Has favorites, lacks empathy. Don't know what happened to him this semester, used to be great.
John is not your average teacher. There is a textbook which is really only applicable for the one and only "test" in the middle of the course. the free older edition one will still work. He doesn't post anything on canvas and everything will be turned in on paper. One big presentation at the end which was very easy. Very laid back and easy class!!
