Saffold was the best professor I have had at UWM! 3 tests throughout the semester and he never puts anything on the exam that isn't covered in lecture. Classes aren't mandatory, but they are crucial to a good grad on the exam. His stories and examples really hammer home the content and he makes business law both exciting and easy to understand!

Can tell he cares about what he is teaching and is passionate about it. Class goes by so fast because he has so many stories that relate to business law that he has experienced. Would take again.

Best professor I've ever had. If you go to lectures and actively listen to his stories you'll do well. He even went above and beyond to help me with a project from another class

Grade is only based on 3 exams (25% each) and online homework (25%). You get a cheat sheet (1 pg double sided) for each exam. Exams are all MC or T/F. Offers a "bad day deal" extra credit if you don't do so well on an exam. Definitely attend lectures for his notes, much easier to understand material in class than by reading the text.

Saffold is the best hands down. Great professor, gets the class involved, and grades fairly. 10/10 would recommend

Fun guy that enjoys law and tries his best to help his students, but he's got a lot of them. The tests were the trickiest I've had at UWM, so do the reading and take good notes. Lectures were definitely the most helpful and narrowing down the large amount of content the book gives.

Keeps a boring topic interesting. Has high energy and good stories. Very full of himself though.

Saffold is one of the top professors at Lubar. I highly recommend his class. You MUST go to lecture. When taking exams (with notes), go with what is discussed in lecture. Saffold is a natural at teaching. I was amazed at how he involved everyone in his large class to participate. He's approachable during office hours and gave great advice.

Professor Saffold makes uninteresting material interesting. Awesome guy who knows his stuff. Typically the people who don't like him are those who don't come to class and expect to have a grade handed to them. Best professor I've had during undergrad.

Saffold is a cool funny guy. Knows what he's talking about but beware his tests are tricky. Know the material all the way through, Connect helps. His lectures are important although attendance is not taken it is highly encouraged. If I were to grade him as a teacher I'd give him a solid A- or B+

Saffold genuinely makes you want to come to lectures. Half of the time in lectures is spent giving real world examples, pulling nothing from the slides, and just making sure people understand topics. He knows who comes to class, and is worth developing a good student-prof. relationship with. If he likes you, he'll ask if you want to go into law.

Really enjoyed going to lecture. Although attendance was not taken I recommend going because most of it will be on the exam. Exams are difficult, I suggest going over the reviews provided on d2l. No homework just some quizzes online.

Difficult class, but you will pass if you go to class. Professor Saffold lectures are hilarious and he makes class time go by fast.

Saffold is an amazing professor! You can tell that he really cares about students and wants to push students to work harder. His lectures are engaging and often lead to large class discussions. His lecture is always full because people genuinely want to be there. Be prepared to study, work hard and participate in class and you will do well.

Professor Saffold was by far the best professor I've had here at UWM. I wish I could take more classes with him. He doesn't give out homework and gives you answers to the exams in class. Also, he asks us what answers we want during the exams and gives them to us. Easy A but you'll learn a ton. He's the reason I'm going to law school in the fall!

I hate school with a passion... He was by far the best professor I have ever had. This is my fourth year of college and the first class which I always tried participating in lecture discussions. He makes lecture so much fun with real examples and loves to play devils advocate to keep debates going in class. Must go to class to pass but its worth it

Best lecturing teacher you will ever have, but tests aren't easy.

Saffold is one of my favorite profs at UWM. makes business law interesting, engaging with lectures, and gives multiple chances to earn extra credit/boost your grade. Most of your grade is determined by the exams, and to do well on them you'll have to take good notes in lecture and be able to apply the material you're learning to different scenarios

One of the best professors Ive had this semester. Super funny. Really cares about students. A tip that helped is to take pictures of his slides and write down definitions and examples he tells. You NEED to come to class and listen; be engaged. Lectures will help you understand how to apply concepts to real life situations that will be on exams.

Overall he was a good professor and cared about the students. However he is very blunt and uncensored. His lectures are entertaining and keep you involved. I highly recommend participating he holds a lot of value in that. Also definitely write down his examples they are a huge help and similar to exam questions he will write.

TAKE SAFFOLD! He is hilarious and class is entertaining. Pay attention in class and take notes dutifully and you'll have study material for exams. Participate in class! Homework is a very easy A and exams are very fair. No need to read textbook. He gave free points on exams randomly and also curves exams as well. Easy class if you get involved!

One of the most engaging professors. He makes class fun! Take notes, he is great at giving examples. Mostly only gives exams on what he lectures on. He doesn't take attendance but I would highly suggest going to every class. Tends to switch things up as he goes along. Loves participation and wants to know your face by the end of the semester.

Saffold taught knowingly the materials and made class very enjoyable. He knew the right things to say to make the class debate. CONS: - Never replies to your email. Emailed once during the semester, nothing. Emailed once again after semester, nothing. - Throughout the semester at times, it seemed forgetful. Overall, average-good professor.

I thought he was hilarious and provided great classroom discussions/debates. I personally have a hard time remembering law material so his exams were extremely difficult for me. He likes to joke and give you a hard time but if you dont get offended easily youll be fine. I loved his class!

Couldnt have asked for a better Business Law professor. Saffold manages to make what could otherwise easily be a boring, tedious class something I looked forward to consistently. Download his lecture outlines, use them to take notes, and review them that night as he suggests. Test Qs require understanding concepts, not just memorizing definitions.

His lectures are fun and interesting. He has guides online that has some of his class lecture notes and then you have to fill in the rest that is missing. There is a good amount of debate in class which is fun. If you show up to class, take notes, and study the notes, you'll pass easily. He knows his stuff too!

Overall, pretty solid professor. His lectures are his main core of the classes but not required. But I do recommend going to them because the amount of info he gives. Exams are tough, hard questions, really tricky too. But as a professors he's not bad, funny, experienced. He loves debates and will pick on you if you don't talk in lecture.

Attend every lecture. Every. Single. One. First of all, it will be the only way you do well in this class. More importantly, you will get more from this class than most others combined if you can be attentive, engaged, and think analytically. Professor will use real-world examples and prioritize learning over pandering. Wish he taught more classes.

Dr. Saffold has amazing lectures every class he really uses great examples and even online had fantastic conversations with students. The exam on the other hand was extremely hard to prepare for and was left in the dark on what material would be covered. My suggestion is pay attention to the lectures skip over his babbling and find the main points

Easily one of the best professors I've had. Do the work, talk to him (don't email, talk to him), and put forth an effort. He will make accommodations when necessary. He even went out and gave answers to the class in the middle of an exam. People that don't like him didn't give this class enough time or make a good effort to get to know Saffold.

His lectures consist of many examples that leads to great discussions in class. His lectures also really are educational & can be utilized in real life circumstances. Attending lecture is more important than looking at what he posts on canvas because you have to understand the concept more than the terminology = aiding you to do better on the exams

I loved Saffold. He made lectures so interesting and gave you all the materials you needed to do well on the exams. He is not easily reached outside of class, so if you need to talk to him wait after class or go to his office hours. Try to participate as much as possible! Put in the work and try, you will do well. Do not take him online!

Loved having Professor Saffold. As long as you participate in class, you will find it a very interesting course. He is a funny guy too, he will make jokes now and then that the whole class will laugh at. He also gives you extra credit for participation sometimes and will take ten incorrect questions from your exam and throw them out. Great guy

This is my favorite professor at UWM. He makes the lectures very engaging, very funny, and relates the coursework to the real world often. This class can be difficult if you don't understand the basis of American law. Exams can be difficult, but if you prepare, study, and go to every class, it will be a very enjoyable class to take.

Saffold is the most engaging professor I have had. He knows how to command the room and make students feel comfortable participating in class. He is very funny and is always instigating debates between students. Make sure to take notes in lectures, as that is what he tests on. You'll have a better time in this class if you go to the lectures.

One of the best professors I've had. Goes out of his way to engage students during lecture. The more you participate in class, the better you'll do. Tests are application based, and sharing thoughts/questions during his tangents are the best way to practice. Just don't take it personally and stand your ground when he pushes back on your ideas.

Don't understand the bad ratings... Pretty sure it's just the same people giving bad reviews over and over again. Guy is hilarious, exams are 60 questions but only graded on 50 questions. Meaning you can get 10 questions wrong and score a 100%. Attend the lectures and you'll be fine… Really not a hard class.

The 3 tests are based on what he discusses in the lectures, but he does not do exam reviews or study guides. However, there was an SI leader. He also creates lecture outlines to help students take notes. He sometimes moves too fast when changing the slides, and the slides he posts to Canvas look slightly different from the ones used in lectures.

An amazing professor and lawyer. His hands-on learning experience makes his teaching so much better. He goes off of scenarios and real-world examples so you truly learn and can apply your knowledge.

Saffold is a good professor but i didn't understand how to fully succeed in the course. Homework is fairly easy but the exams are all multiple-choice scenario questions which i found very confusing how to study for since the lectures are different. I recommend going to the SI meetings. I enjoyed the lectures though, he's funny and interactive.

This is one of the best professors I've ever had. The class isn't easy, but it's not as difficult as people say. This is definitely a college course so participating in lectures will be very important. However, the professor's humor and engaging teaching style make lectures enjoyable, unlike others who rely on slideshows.

I loved this class! It was one of the only classes I was able to give my full attention to as it was engaging and interesting. Go to all of the lectures because the stories and notes will help you remember the content. Participation also matters!

Great guy with solid experience in the field. Ask questions about content that piques your interest, understand concepts in addition to facts. Every lecture attended increases chances of passing with solid grades!

My second favorite teacher at UWM (apart from Zheng Cheng). Class isn't mandatory but you will fail if you don't go. Exams are heavily based on lectures and real world examples, all multiple choice. Difficult course but if you study and attend class you're good. Lectures are engaging, entertaining, and he connects with his students.

Saffold does a fantastic job of getting people to participate in class and keep students attending despite no attendance scores. I can understand where people get the idea of him being egotistical, but I like his humor. Ask questions when you have them, if he can put your face to a name it will absolutely help you. Ive never seen him "Strike deals"

He has a harsh sense of humor sometimes but he's an amazing teacher. I had him last semester and one of my favorite classes at uwm. You actually learn things that will be helpful throughout life. He doesn't like disengaged students but his lectures are fun so paying attention isn't hard!
