So friendly, makes all the students feel like her favorite, which is hard to do. I had a class of at least 60 kids and she knew us all by name. Easy tests too. She gives you every answer, just study. PS: Her only flaw is she talks about having money a lot
PROF DEVITO is the best, she is so friendly, she makes you feel good about yourself, and make you come to class , because of her i will be studying law. she is the best prof i have ever had, too bad she is married but i still love her,she is so pretty.

HILARIOUS and NICE. BESTT TEACHER. TAKE HER FOR EASY A! sometimes the stuff may be boring but she makes it interesting!!
shes mad easy only because she gives the questions and answers for the test and all you gotta do is study them
she is a great prof. very easy to pass her class jsut show up to class and take good notes and you'll A's the class
She is an absolute pleasure to have as a professor. I LOVE HER!! It takes a lot to fail her class. If you need Blw 1001 or just an elective, take her! Don't buy the text though, it's way $$$ and she doesn't even use it.
OMG THE BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD. I WISH I HAD HER FOR EVERY CLASS. SHES THE BEST!! AND I HAVE HER AS A REFRENCE. SHE KEEPS IN TOUCH AND CARES IF YOUR DOING BAD. GREAT PROFESSOR!! TAKE HER!!
She is the Best! She's everything you want in a professor and more. She's sweet,pretty,nice,smart,helpfull,funny,etc. She cares so much for her students. No homework, just take good class notes and you will do fine on her exams. Plus she gives you an EASY extra credit h.w. if you don't do good on th
if you want to learn absolutly nothing about business law and just BS all class then take her for an easssy A..gives the answers for alll the test including the final so all you gotta do is study the answers..for those who accutaly want to do work in college then dont take her
She actually does teach, and you do learn something. The reason she gives the answers is so that you can memorize the questions for the exam. This technique is very useful when you're taking the bar exam after law school. She's the best there is. I can't imagine anyone greater than her and Cardalena
She is extremely helpful and learned in many areas.Class is fun!If you need a rec. or just have a Q,she will give her undivided attention.She is VERY approachable -unlike SOME SJU legal profs.
she is the nicest professor ever... just****to class attendence is taken...do not buy the book u dont need it...she is easy and nice funny best professor ever...if u do not get an A its ur fault
This lady is a godsend. If you dont get an A in this class it's your own damn fault. She takes attendence pretty seriously but just show up. She give the answers to the tests if your there. TAKE HER!
Just awesome. Easy to stay awake when someone's this fun and foxy!
I went into this class hating it. Got an A on all of the tests. This lady is amazing. Trust me. TAKE HER. You don't even need the notes, because she gives the answers to the tests.
She's the best professor that I've had in St. Johns. She is very funny and a very cheerful person. If I could take this class again, I would definitely take her!! The book is crazy expensive and we didn't even use it because she gives you all the answers to her tests.
She is the best. Very funny and down to earth. She helps you get a good grade you just have to do the rest, that is show up and study the answers which she gives in advance of every exam. No reason not to do well. Would take her agian if i got the chance.
AMAZING PROFESSOR, shes is seriously the best professor I have ever had, because shes actually a human being and not some nutcase with a power trip over students. Tests are easy if you come to class. A+++++ Professor
The best professor at St Johns! She is hilarious and shes always smiling and happy. Her class is a pleasure to sit through and even tho its an hour and a half, it flies by. Gives all the questions and answers to tests, but they are tricky and you have to memorize them.
I love this woman! Very nice and funny professor and shes always happy. Very easy to understand, gives good examples. Gives all the questions to the test. Don't bother buying the book, you'll never use it.
Very, very great lady! Because she gives the answers to the test, lol. She also said that she is very happy to have a hott pepper next to her name on this site. You will feel so comfortable in her class... she's really funny and you learn ehh, enough, i guess
Easy class. Take her!!!! She is fuuny and makes the class interesting. VERY EASY A
She is the greatest professor ever..Yes she gives you the answers to the test but she also made a 7:35 AM class interesting..How many profs. can do that? She's always smiling and so bubbly..Take her class..You're guaranteed an A as long as you show up..I love her!!
I learned nothing from this professor. What i learned from her was how to memorize the answers to the test and get an A. After the course was over, I realized that I had no basic knowledge of business law. People love her cause she is so easy. But what help will that be after you graduate? I wish i actually learned something from that class.
She really cares about your academic AND employment opportunites.She is sincere and thoughtful.I know I can count on her for almost anything.For those of you that say u never learned anything about BLW, perhaps U should pick up the bk and read it! Law courses are NOT all about what the prof. says! I love Prof. Devito!!!!!!!!!!
Entry level course, easy as hell. Gives all Q and A's, she's just an incredible women. Best professor at St Johns. If you do not get an A you really have stooped low.
SHE IS THE GREATEST PROFESSOR ALIVE!!!!YOU DO LEARN IN THE CLASS IN YOU PAY ATTENTION AND THE EXAMS ARE QUITE EASY. SHE'S A GREAT!!!! I LOVE HER!!!!
This is the easiest class in the world. She's happy to give out test question and answers. Just attend her damn class and she'll slowly give out hints. Seriously, if you don't get an A in this class you should not be in college. What a beautiful lady!
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK FOR THIS CLASS!!!!! Easy class, show up and pay atention for the test questions and its an easy A
HMMM...WHAT CAN I SAY I LOVE HER...EASY CLASS..JUST PAY ATTENTION FOR THE TEST QUESTIONS AND THATS ALL!!! LOVE U DE-VITO!!!!
Easiest class ever! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!! She gives out answers for you to memorize before the tests! Not only that, you'll learn a lot of stuff! Great teacher!
She is a great teacher and is funny as hell. Take her!
U DESERVE THE HOT PEPPER
SHE'S THE GREATEST PROFESSOR IN ST. JOHN
HILARIOUS..EASY A..gives u test answers before each exam...memorize those and get an A..oh and she reads all these comments =)HI!
It's all true. Don't buy the book. You'll get an A just by breathing.

SHE'S THE GREATEST PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD, EASIEST A ... LOVE HER
The Best Professor Everrr!!!!! Interesting class....you learn alot in a fun environment....awesome professor...Lovee herrrr!!
I absolutely LOVE this professor! I seriously don't think any professor has made me laugh this hard. She makes what can be a boring subject into a fun one!!! I wish she taught more classes. She is AMAZING! Haha... just thinking about her makes me laugh. Love her!
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER. keeps class entertained with her stories. always up for a laugh. totally cool and non-chalant. i definately recommend her.
SHE'S SIMPLY THE BEST!!!all u have to do is study the test answers!
Excellent professor...very, very helpful and she makes the class fun to sit through...no matter what time she is taking her BLW class TAKE IT! Trust me, it will be well worth your time
Nice prof. Easiest class ever. I feel my intelligence a bit insulted. I feel as if she's talking to elementary school children. But otherwise, worthwhile.
The Best Prof !!! I had a Great Semester
The best professor I have had so far at SJU. She is funny and smart. Only two tests and a final which she gives you the questions and answers before hand. No homework or papers. She tries to learn our names but the semester is to short. A hour and a half just flew by and most of the time she lets us out early. Don't even buy the textbook.
Seriously, it does not get any easier than this class. Do not even waste ur money to buy that highly exprensive text because u will never need it. She gives the Answers, which she calls "hints" to the tests if u go to class. Guaranteed A.
Shes a great professor and doesn't give you a hard time to pass the class
i got a b in her class. i thought i wouldve got an a but thats wha i get for not studying all 80 hints for the final too much cramming to do
Incredibly nice, easy prof. Tells you everything on the exam, very funny. TAKE HER!!!
just go to class and that's all you need!
shes really cool, funny and VERY VERY easy, she gives out ALL!!! of the ques to her tests ....EASY A
NOT only does she know her business n law stuff,but shes freakin hysterical. She is really really helpful. If you are applying to law school and ur advisor sucks, shes the person to go to. Multiple choice tests- you WILL pass them with flying colors. I commute from all the way out east and I basically go to school just to sit in her class. easy A!
She is the best lady ever!!!! Please adopt me ASAP! : )
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE HER!!!! She is the BEST!
She is one of the best professors at SJU. She is always so happy and bubbly with plenty of energy,its kind of hard to be bored in her class.For BLW you dont really even need the book.Just take good notes, and she also gives the questions and answers to her test in advanced
She's so nice, I love this professor, great sense of humor, and trys to make your life easier
The Coursebook may change.
greatest teacher in st johns. easy and nice. shes awesome
Shes the BEST teacher in the world! The nicest and kindest lady and she'll work with you. Easy A! YOU MUST TAKE HER, you learn in her class too
absolutly the best teacher at St. Johns .. i doubt any teacher could be more funny, helpfull, clear, kind and interesting as her.. too bad she doesnt teach more classes
You can miss 6-8 classes and still get an A. She gives you the answers to the tests. She is great, funny, and a pretty blonde (if you like curvier women :-) ) I'd take her again
She is the best!!! Very clear and funny! Easy A!
Easiness factor aside, she makes class interesting. The material is easy to learn with her, not to mention you want to go to every class because she's HILARIOUS. You'd be making a huge mistake by taking any other professor besides Boland-Devito!
LOVE HER...Easy and Idiot proof why? She gives yo uthe answers to the test the days before the test...Funny and enrgetic...Take her Easy A
She is great! frankly i NEVER went to class, i think i went all of 5 times...i got a B+, which is NOT bad at all! the classes i did attend were fun, and thats an understatement, she is a riot, she is so funny! she does NOT use the book, dont buy it, and the "hints" write them all down, because they are the test questions!TAKE HER! NO ONE Compares
TAKE HER CLASS. easiest class i've ever taken. even at 730 in the morning she kept me awake she is SO funny. you don't ever use the book so don't buy it and you can miss class. she gives you the answers to the tests you just have to memorize.
#32 Joyce Boland-Devito St. John's University ..haha wow well its true although i cant think how 31 teachers could be better than her.. there must be something wrong lol
Although some people say to take her because its an easy A- that is ridiculous. We are here to learn. I did get an A in the class but I also learned valuable information to share with other, which I did. This professor is fun and easy going, as learning should be. You may get an A but not everyone does though so don't be fooled.
just take her you won't regret it....she's awesome...no textbook needed...gives hints before tests....
If you're smart you will take every class you can with this lady. By far the best teacher at this university.
she is amazing....gives all the hints that you need to get an a....and makes you laugh every class...
This is an excellent teacher. If you are motivated and want to know the materials, she will go over it as many times as necessary. This class is not only about the "letter grade" but more so understanding the material. For those of us who are interesting in attending law school, she makes the material so easy to understand.1 WORD EXCELLENT!!
She's the best!!! I didn't miss a single class cuz she's awesome. Always makes you laugh, and teaches well too. If you get the hints, you can easily get an A. All professors should be like this. No wonder she was rated one of the best professors, although she should make top 10!
Didn't think BLW would beat all like this. Great class very interesting and very easy. Go to class because you get hints for the test and it will make it that much easier.
It's a great class. The professor is very well-rounded and incorporates a lot of current events in teaching. She brings the material down to the students' level for a better understanding. Gives all the answers to the tests prior to the test. We watch My Cousin Vinny. Great class, easy A.
AMAZING teacher!! love her!!!I would recommend her to anybody, not only is class fun and insightful she's very helpful and doesn't think any question is stupid. She's always there and honestly you dont need your textbook. ALWAYS TAKE DOWN THE HINTS. LOVE HER!!!!!!
Everyone has to take her class. She is an amazing professor and she is extremely funny. She give you hints for the all the tests which will be very helpful to you. Take her class if you want an A and if you want to have fun. Love her!
She is an awesome teacher..very helpful. If you have the chance, definitely take her.
One of the BEST profs at SJU! Definitely take her if you have to take business law. Her class was the reason I made it through my long day! She's SO funny and really makes the class interesting by bringing in current events that correspond with the material. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
Not only is she an amazing professor in that she gives you all the hints for the exams & is extremely helpful, but she is just an amazing person! She's so funny and such a sweet person with a good heart. she made me look foward to actualy going to school. LOVE HER and def take her if u have a chance to. if u dont take her, you are missing out!
By far the best professor I have encountered in college. Aside from learning I was able to actually appreciate and enjoy the class.
Awesome professor. very funny and extremely helpful. she cares about you, your grades and the personal. gives hints before every exam. before every class we discuss current events that usually have 2 to do with the topic we're discussing and whatever funny1s are around. the best @ STJ, boosted my GPA. she wants 2 give u an A.
The best teacher in st johns university by far. She is so helpful and shes hilarious. I hated missing class because she was entertaining and taught me so much i would consider going into law if all the teachers were like her. she gives you the questions and answers for the test before the test is given. there is no way you cant get an A.
She's the best teacher at SJU! Shes a really nice person and you learn a lot in her class. You can relax and enjoy her class because she gives u the questions and answers before the exam. If you don't get an A in her class and complain about it, then you're an idiot and its your own fault!
She is a professor that has the ability to make anything interesting and anything relavent.
A bit overrated. Very nice person, but the class is not challenging at all. It's an easy A. Which is fine if all you care about is the GPA(can't blame you), but I didnt take anything out of the class. she gives you the answers to the test practically, barely any homework. Just show up, write down the answers she gives. Easiest class ever.
great teacher interesting anf funny she gives u the answers to the test so its not a hard class at all. i would definately take her again if she took a different class. if you can take here do it!
She is the best. 'Nuff said.
She is hilarous!!!with useful information.
I LOVE HER, SHE IS GREAT. I had a 730 am class and it was a joy going to her class. Definitely take her!
Great Professor. Very helpful and she gives you great advice
Easiest Class Ever. You simply cannot fail.
She is extremely helpful especially when it comes to test. She gives us the hints for every test and she gives us notes straight out the text book. I had her at 735am but had no complaint. LOVED HER!! Must take..
Most amazing professor ever. Always tries to help students succeed in her class and in life in general. Not only the best professor at SJU, but best professor nationally. I wish she taught more courses.
Awesome teacher.
ok whoever said 3 for easiness, you must be wow let's just be nice and say clueless... because wow she is an amazing professor, and if you found her hard...
She is one of the best professors you will ever take, if you have questions about the BAR, LSAT she is happy to answer them for you, and she is so helpful and always there for you. Take down the hints! Overall enjoyed the class and am very fond of her, amazing professor!!
awesome professor. we might all just be saying that because she gives the answers for her midterm and final but still: she's smart, she's funny, and she makes the class interesting. just because we get all the answers on the tests doesn't mean we don't leave the semester with more knowledge on the subject.
Avoid at all costs. Lots of work to get done.
Prof. DeVito was an excellent professor that really stood out to me. She was amazing in the class in that she taught her material and kept the class awake with her friendly tone, interesting lectures and sense of humor when needed. She also helped me out a lot outside of the classroom in applying to graduate schools. She is an inspiration!
class was fun. simple and she gave good examples to relate to material that made it easy. An excellent teacher if she gets fired im dropping out of st johns
She is an awesome teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):)
SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Best professor ever! I wish she taught more class at STJ.
Easy as Cake!
GREAT PROFESSOR...EXTREMELY HUMBLE, NICE, AND VERY HELPFUL...TELLS GREAT STORIES ABOUT BEING A LAWYER THAT RELATES TO THE COURSE...TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is Amazingg. if you take any other teacher for blw than you need to be checked. take her, listen to me or the 148 other ones that say take her!!
She is amazing, she is funny, and she is REAL...she makes the topics interesting and relates them to real life issues...she is also big on current events...and you will get an A for just goin to class!!
I took her in 1992-1996 and was amazing. I see she still is!! Great professor!
People she's an AMAZING teacher. She makes the course really simple and tries her best to make sure you do your best. She's very approachable and quite witty. She's always up for a friendly chat and her class just seems like a casual educational discussion between friends. It sucks she only teaches one course though. TAKE HER! <3
Unlike some professors, she doesn't stress studing for a test, instead she allows the class to have a good time and take in information since we're not busy trying to cram the info into our brains. Also no need for textbook since she gives all the notes on the board. One neat thing is that she takes 2 minutes a class to go over the news. Best class
Easy Class. You need to take this teacher.
she is amazing!! MUST take if you have to take BLW-if you dont you def. would be missing out!!Explains BLW very good with real life situations that are interesting. Wish I could take her again.
LOVE HER I would take her again if i could, if you fail you are sooo... TAKE HER you won't regret it!
This teacher is amazing. She is sweet, confident, and very importantly, easy to approach. The Business Law material gets explained and reviewed so you can never forget it.If she taught other classes I needed, she'd be my number 1 teacher. TAKE HER, definitely. you'll love her.
You'd be a fool not to take her! :)
Amazing.
Amazing teacher! took her last semester and now i am a legal studies major. She is very helpful, nice, and takes 5 minutes everyday to go over the news. She is very nice and easy! Has a great sense of humor you would be a fool not to take her!! :-)
love her
This class was amazing. i learned so much and now am actually thinking about going in to legal studies.
Good teacher makes subject easy to understand. Also I would take it again if I could
She is the best professor i have ever had honestly there is no way you can get lower than a B if you can read and write... she gives you all the questions to the test and makes sure you are well prepared and she is very laid back ... attendance is mandatory but she is very lenient at 7:35 AM...
iiii love her! shes amazing. Best teacher ever. shes so much fun that i actually go to her class!
Every teacher should takes notes
BEST PROF EVER!!! and i mean EVER!!! EVERYTHING YOU WANT YOUR PROF TO BE AND MORE
SHES THE BEST! shes so funny, keeps class entertaining. The class material is interesting and she explains it really well so you understand.

SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR!!!! CAN'T GO WRONG. GOOD HEART WILL HELP IF YOU WANT TO HELP YOURSELF. MUST TAKE HER. EASY A
She's theeeee best! Easy A AND she's funny (even at 7:30 in the morning), no matter how tired you are you will enjoy this class. Professor Boland-Devito is one of the best teachers in SJU. TaKE HeR! you won't regret it
I love this professor. Don't buy the textbook because she gives you all the note but you don't need them because she gives all the answers for every test. Two exams throughout the course and a final exam. I got an easy A!
GReat Teacher and very helpful
the same person is inputting these rave reviews - may be Joyce herself
The best teacher at St Johns. Highly recommended
Awsome teacher, a must take. Wish she taught other classes. She was funny, This is not the easiest A but fair class.
She is the best!
awesome
Not a fair grader.
Best professor I've ever had. All you have to do is show up to class with a good attitude and you've got an A. Great person too!!!
easy class. She is mad chill. basically gives u the answers to quizzes. A really easy "A"
Absolutely the BEST teacher i have ever had. Funny, helpful, and doesn't give homework. She actually made business law interesting. TAKE THIS CLASS!!
Honestly there is no reason to not take this professor. You want a fun class take her, you want help of any kind take her you, need a recommendation take her, you are a college student seeking the quintessential professor take her i recommend 100000% best teacher at SJU and should be #1 on this site
not challenging
Awesome professor! She's super sweet too! Never a boring class because she definitely has a sense of humor. Easy A :)
best teacher, gives you the answers to the test for review. Easy A
She has #1 ranking on this thing for a reason. That, alone, speaks for itself.
She deserves all the red hot peppers in the world. I have her at the end of the day and she makes me smile everytime I come into her class. She is really easy. Just show up and know how to write. That's pretty much it. From a happy student :)
She is amazing! I had no interest in law whatsoever but after taking this course, I seriously considered Law School! She gives you the answers to the questions so just make sure you come to class--if anything, just for the answers! She is the only reason I could get up for a 7:35 class! Her personality is great and she loves her her students.
Brings real life into the classroom, extremely enthusiastic about her job. A+
Brings real life into the classroom, extremely enthusiastic about her job as well as humurous. I don't miss her class
She takes the most boring stuff and makes it interesting. Really easy going, nice, caring and intelligent. Very little work if any. Best Prof. I've ever had.
She is extremely funny and makes crazy jokes and keeps the energy up in the class. She is helpful and knowledgeable.
She's sooooo nice, and awkwardly funny. She really just wants you to learn, but doesn't really ever stasy on topic. She gives you "hints" to all the test so no book or hardcore studying is required. easiest class every. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!
Shes one of the best professors i had, Shes easy, funny, and interesting. She gives real life examples of the things she teaches. Funny events that happened to her, jokes all the time, You will never be bored in her class And best of all You dont need to study for her tests in textbooks, She gives hints to all the tests she gives, Easy A, MUST TAKE
EASY A, love her class.
She is the best teacher ever!!! So amazing everyone should take her!
3 or 4 tests. That's about all there is to it. If you are studying law, take her. If you're not, take her. Shes hysterical ,and she cares about her students! Don't buy the txtbook, she provides one in the library but her notes are enough!! T.A.K.E H.E.R.
She is the best. NO homework and notes are all you need.
Amazinnnnngggg PROFESSOR !!! EASIEST A, AND SHE KEEPS THE CLASS ALIVE, AND MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL!!!! =]]]]]
Not enough nice things to say. Great person, but great teacher. On top of that, she gives you all the test answers, curves the final, and gives Extra credit pts. What more could u want!
She wants you to succeed in class and in life. Two tests and the final add up to 90% of your grade, attendance is the other 10%. She's very helpful and keeps you interested. Take her!
Awesome!
She is Amazing!!!!!!, I just had transferred from another school and she made me feel right at home, always open to questions even criticism and she will laugh at herself, just finishing up with her unless i totally screw up on the final i am likely to get an A, she made business law fun not boring and easy to grasp, must take!!!
She is a great teacher. Very nice, very polite and there for you when you actually need her help. I am probably the first to say this, but I wish she was a little harder. It was WAY TOO EASY and not even challenging. If you actually want to WORK go elsewhere, she is an easy A. Use what she teaches as a basis until you actually get into law school.
this teacher saved school for me i was almost ready to give up but she made me look foward to comming to her class she also gives the answers to the exam which ironicly makes u study alot more and u retain the info alot better ... BEST TEACHER EVAAAAAAA!!!!!!
this prof saved my life. everything in my life was going off track till she stepped in. made me realize the importance of hardwork and education and kept me away from drugs and all sort of other troubles. i was lost before i found devito. yous the best.
Honestly she is by far the MOST AMAZING teacher EVER! She truly wants her students to do good and basically will do whatever she needs to do, to get you to pass the class. EVERYONE should take this class because she is such a great teacher!
She is the absolute epitome of awesomeness. Not only does she make our lives easy, she genuinely cares about our well-being. Who doesn't love this professor?
THERE ARENT ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW WONDERFUL THIS TEACHER IS!!! SHE IS BEYOND HELPFUL, CARING, AND UNDERSTANDING. IF YOU DO POORLY IN HER CLASS... THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU! I WOULD TAKE HER AGAIN AND AGAIN EVEN IF IT WERE THE SAME CLASS... SHES THAT GOOD!
She is the greatest professor ever!! She's so cool and down to earth!! Her class was easy because she made it that way.. there's no way you should fail this class... Take her if you want a guaranteed A!!! =]

Best professor at St.John's very understanding,funny woman. Made the course material intresting. Take her!
THE BEST!
Her reputation proceeds her. She's awesome and no other BLW teacher should be considered.
I took her class in 2002. Her class was not difficult if you attended, and took notes. You can not just show up on occasion and expect an A. The reason for a low difficulty rating is in he teaching style, she makes it easy to understand the material.
Amazing! Best professor at SJU. If you get her..you're extremely lucky! treats students w/ respects & understands that we have busy schedules. Definitely take her!!!
probably the best prof u will ever have. she gives the questions and answers before the exam - all MC and T or F. theres no need to buy the textbook and theres no hw. shes very understanding and she's really really really chill about everything [lateness/absence]. class is fun and interesting. hands down, easy A.
She is very understanding of schedules and she gives everyone a chance for an A in this course.
The most awesome professor ever. She is extremely helpful and understanding. It's an easy class but you do learn a lot from her class. Honestly, she is hilarious. I never got bored in her class. Highly recommend her.
so chill. sweet lady. anyone can get an A. 2 forms of each test, 25 questions. you get 50 "hints". final is 40 questions. don't miss a chance to take her, wonderful. makes you really appreciate your STJ education. she makes you feel like you can be successful in anything you do & STJ is a great start :)
Dont bother buying the book. You'll see why when you take the class. Easy A and also a very understanding and exciting professor. Never a dull moment, makes everything funny and relative to current events. best class i took freshmen year
She is extremely helpful, she makes sure students understand what she teaches, she always answer any questions, and is always willing to help students as best she can, she has been the greatest professor, I?ve had this semester!!
she is the greatest professor, I?ve had this semester!!Her style of teaching makes me want to learn more and more!
Easiest and Nicest teacher ever. If you fail you have problems.
Great professor! She's very passionate about what she does and is very friendly and outgoing. She cracks a lot of jokes, which makes me look forward to going to class! It would be a big mistake not to take her! But dont* buy the textbook!
extremely attentive and aware of the status of the classes understanding of the material.
Most amazing professor she keeps it interesting not strict, helps you really understand the concept of Business Law easily and breaks it down very well. Plus she shows the movie "My Cousin Vinny" in class as an example.
She's awesome.
Yay! Best class ever.
Best. Professor. Ever.
Best Teacher ever in life! Gives the answers to the test and you just study it and pass. She takes attendance sometimes. NO HW nd dont buy the textbook. Super funnnny and keeps you entertained!!!!!! Def. should take this class and get it ASAP seats go fast!!!
best teacher i had at st. johns. she gives you the questions and answers to the test, and doesn't really take attendance into account, but you will still want to go. she is funny and makes business law interesting.
She is such a sweatheart. You can tell she really truly loves what she's teaching and she is really helpful not only in BLW but in life. More professors should be like her. She has pretty interesting stories about life and the way she says damn is pretty funny too. Shes a joy.
She is a wonderful teacher. She seems to love what she does. She also seems to really care about her student and it's nice being in her class and knowing someone cares. She is extremely helpful in everything and anything. She goes above and beyond the call of duty expected of a professor. I will defenitley keep in touch. She is the best.
Professor Boland-Devito is great. She goes above and beyond the call of what a professors duties are. She helps students with anything and everything that they may need. She seems to really love what she does and care greatly for all her students. She doesn't favor anyone. She is very fair to everyone. It was a great joy to be in her class.
Take this class. words cant explain her amazingness and how fun she makes law.
she is one of the universality best teachers.she is so approachable, and willing to teach you with not only text book info, but real life scenarios. simply love her teaching method.
Clearly not out to waste anyone's time. Understands the pressures on students outside of her classroom. A really kind woman, overall.
She is hilarious! Class is easy but you will learn a lot and it will be super interesting!! One of the best professors I've ever had. You're an absolute idiot if you don't get an A and an even bigger idiot if you don't take her class.
I wish she taught another class i LOVED her class. Amazing
Easy, funny, understanding, helpful. Best prof at STJ by far!
Best.Teacher.Ever, It's no fluke that she's ranked so high. If your lucky enough to find a spot in her class open register asap!
the best prof you will take at st.johns. She is funny and easy. She give the questions before each tests with the answers. And she curves. So just come to class, dont buy books and only take notes when she is giving out "hints" and its a guaranteed A. If you can't do that go jump off a builiding.
shes amazing. if u cant get an a in her class, u should reconsider being in college

Prof.Bonland- DeVito is won of the best teachers in St. John's. She knows the importance of connecting with her class.
Best professor I've ever had. She's hilarious, interesting, cool, and understanding. She makes you WANT to go to class and learn. I would take her every semester if I could. I say TAKE HER!
I love her. I took her Fall 2010. She gives you the answers for the test. But you have to study them. her test are multiple choice. She's hilarious. I wish I had her for all my classes. Its an easy A if you study the answers.
I am taking Law for bBusiness right now with her. She is by far the best Professor I have ever had!! She knows her stuff not to mention she is pretty and I have never seen her wear the same thing twice.. VERY fashionable. She gives off that motherly feel. She makes you feel at home and I LOVE her class!! MUST TAKE!!!! She is the BEST!!!!!!!!
She is the best!!!!!!! She is by far a prime example of a fantastic teacher!! :) I wish she taught every class at St. John's University. The time flies by in her class because she relates the material to everyday life! I will truly miss her very much. St. John's did a great job whoever hired her!!! I will always remember my first day!
TAKE HER!!! Boland-Devito is the BEST PROFOSSOR @ STJ. She has a great sense of humor and enjoys teaching.She gives you all the answers for the test. Just show up, write down the notes and study the terms. EASY A!!! you won't regret taking her.
Best professor EVER. She's so cool and hilarious. This might sound crazy but she makes you want to go to class. I never missed her class no matter what. She does these small "commercial breaks" between classes so that you don't zone out. Gives you answers to the test and you actually learn something. Easy A. Take her class!
One of the best proffesors in school. She is very funny and helpful. She understands students and is nice to everyone. She gives 3 exams which she provides answers to, so you just have to remember them and you can get an A. You also learn a lot in class. Love her!
Awesome professor!
There are no words to describe her awesomeness. She's like the most perfect professor ever. Hilarious, caring, understanding, sweet, smart, inspiring, cool, laidback, stylish... I can go on and on. Not only will you enjoy her class, but you actually learn. Doesn't believe in homework or having you stressing out over tests so she gives you the answ
she is the best professor on campus!! i highly recommend you to take her...no hw,no stress, she gives you the answers to the test like literally, and if you come late she doesnt care. most improtant thing is that you actually learn. best class take her

There's not much to say since everyone on here has pretty much taken the words out of my mouth. She is one of the best professors I've had and she truly cares about her students. She's such a pleasure to have and goes above-and-beyond for her students. She is a must-take and I'm so glad she is a top-rated professor!
i looked forward to going to her class in the MORNING.. nuff said :)
I looked forward to going to her class... in the MORNING: nuff said.
She's an excellent teacher, and the best thing God ever created. I would truly love it if I could get the oppurtunity to take her class over and over again and to have her in my life somehow. It would be a blessing. <3
Professor Boland-Devito is an amazing professor and person in general. Everyone pretty much said it, but I had to write something for her too! She really cares about her students and your college experience will benefit just by being in her presence.
GREAT PROFESSOR! EVERYONE SHOULD DEFINITELY TAKE HER COURSE. SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS DOING WELL. SHES HILARIOUS AND VERY ENJOYABLE TO BE AROUND. I LOOKED FOWARD TO HER CLASS SHE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH. GOT AN A IN HER CLASS. NICE AND SIMPLE!!!!!!! YAY LOVE HER
Loved this class was very helpful! Yes she was funny couldn't stop laughing at all of her jokes! Gives hints for all of your test and all you have is 2 two page papers on what organization you would like to work and the other is about starting your own business
This woman is incredible and funny. enough said. If you dont take her you are missing out on life!
She's Awesome!!
Textbook is NOT used. she is sooooooooooo easy and her tests are such and easy A
She is awesome !! the best professor ever!!!!!
Top rated professor in country! You know why....because her number one priority is to get as much of the subject matter stuck in our brains. We will remember law because of her teaching methods. She inspires and motivates. Bravo!
easiest class you would ever take
She is the sweetest, adorable, really helpful, easiest professor that I've ever had. Really easy exam. If I'll have the chance I will take her again!!!
As long as you go to class, you will pass this class. She gives "tips" for the tests which are the answers to the test. You also do not need to buy the book, she doesn't use it at all.
Boland-Devito is a great instructor. As long as you show up and do what you're supposed to you will get an A. She is a great woman who genuinely cares about her students.
Professor Boland-Devito is the best Professor I have ever taken ! I took two of her courses BUS LAW & FASHION LAW and both were amazing. Professor Boland- Devito truly cares about each one of her students. She goes the extra mile and is so loving ! It is evident that she enjoys teaching and she is truly a phenomenal Professor !
Very outgoing and definitely a professor you can talk to. SUPER AWESOME
Amazing and highly intelligent professor, has a masters for law. Very helpful and easy to talk to for any problems whether it be education or personal, very understand and treats students as a friend. Inspiring students to achieve success and not be afraid of the world. Recommend taking ALL HER CLASSES! Has lots of connections and fans!
SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She's extremely nice and considerate. If you need help, she'll offer it ANYTIME. I've never had such a fun and interesting professor. I highly recommend her. She literally tells you that you don't need the textbook and that she'll be giving the answers to the test. She lets you out early sometimes and she's very funny. GO
GREATEST PROFESSOR OF ALL TIME
I absolutely loved Prof. Boland-Devito's class. Yes, her exams are very easy but you learn a lot in her class. Her jokes are funny and she makes a 7:30 class worth going to. Class consists of three exams which are really simple and she even offers extra credit. If you have the opportunity to take her class, do not hesitate to register for it.
Super great professor. Tells every test question in advance and doesn't punish you for poor attendance. Will definitely get an A if you put in any form of effort. Definitely take her if you can.
She is amazing! One of the funniest professors I've had yet, and she always keeps class fun and exciting. She is so sweet and loves to talk to her students and learn more about them. If you have the opportunity, definitely take at least one of her classes!
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT SJU! She's hilarious. Her class is worth going. She makes learning fun! You will always be engaged!
She is the best!!! One of the funniest professors I've ever had! She always keeps class fun and she cares about her students. If you have the opportunity, definitely take her!
Prof. Boland-Devito is simply amazing. She wants every student to pass and you learn so much from her. This class consisted of three exams and an easy PowerPoint presentation. I've taken her twice now, and would take her again if possible.
Probably one of the best teachers I have ever met. She cares so much for all of her students as if they were her own children ! She wants the best for everyone and is always there to help us any way possible! If you have the chance to have her as a professor take it because you will be so happy!! The amount I have learned in her class is endless
absolutely take! best professor at st. johns
She's the absolute best professor at SJU. She's super funny and super nice so all she does is for the good of her students, if you pay attention you'll learn a lot from her and she's super helpful for tests and your grades, she just wants everyone to pass and she's a sweetheart!
Prof. Boland-Devito is such a caring individual who really wants her students to succeed. Even though her Fashion Law class was at 7:30, it was always enjoyable as well as informative. Tests are easy so long as you review the questions she gives you. Would recommend to any Enterprise Regulation major, Business Law minor, or Fashion Studies minor.
She's the kindest professor I've yet to have at this University. All she wants is for her students to do well and have a good time while they're in class - even if it starts at 7:30 am like mine does. Her class is the best way to start the mornings. She gives you the answers to the tests, too!! You won't regret taking her.
She's honestly one of the best professors St. John' has to offer. She's so sweet, understanding, and wants her students to pass. She's also really funny. Her class was honestly the best 7:30 I could've ever taken.
Amazing teacher! Grade is based on quizzes and final. She will give you hints for all the quizzes and the final to make sure everyone can get an A. Attendance is important because you need to be there to get the test hints. She cares for her students and tries to make the class as interesting as possible.
Best Professor I've had at St. John's so far. It was a 7:30 am class and completely worth it! She simply did power points and honestly, notes are optional since she gives you the answers to the test anyway. Very nice professor, no textbook.
Literally gives you all the answers for the tests which are 15 T/F and 10 multiple choice for the 2 that aren't the final. The final was 50 questions 30 T/F and 20 multiple choice. She even curves the grade at the end. Also offered extra credit. Easy A.
This professor is one of the good ones. She gives you all the answers to the tests, even the final (which she curves). I don't think there's anyway you could fail this class. She's very kind/caring; she tries to make relationships with her students + she understands how life is as a student and she shows us A LOT of respect.
I LOVE HER!! she is super sweet! She literally gives all the answers to the test. If that's not good enough, she curves your grade! An easy A! The only thing is you can't be absent more than 2 times. But why would you want to skip her class anyway?? Shes sweet and funny. Makes you laugh at 7:30am in the morning. Much respect to her!
She was really the best. She is so funny and kind and very understanding as long as you communicate with her. She is very knowledgable and has great stories, and she tells you exactly what to expect on the tests beforehand. As long as you follow her instructions, you'll get an A
