She's really passionate and knows a lot about law. The quizzes are quite easy despite the material being hard. She makes the concepts engaging. If you want to do well, really pay attention to her lectures and even brush up on the concepts in the book. She's a sweet professor.

Words cannot explain my appreciation for this woman. She is a true professor! Dr. Turner truly cares for her students and is willing to give you the help needed. She has the best personality and is very engaging. I honestly have never loved and looked forward to a professor and her/his class ever! Not the easiest class but she is worth the work! :)

Professor Turner is such a genuine person. She really cares about her students and will go above and beyond to explain material to you. Took this class during Rona/hybrid and she was fairly lenient. If she knows your putting in the work, she will reciprocate the same with your grade. Love her, you should definitely take this course

She is a really good professor. She does not mind explaining things you do not understand, she actually prefers to explain and answer questions. We have a quiz (no test) that are two questions one on each chapter covered in class. The quizzes are fairly easy just take notes in class. However, the final was very hard make sure to learn the material.

I didn't enjoy this class that much because I didn't have much interest in the subject, however, Professor Turner is an amazing professor and is willing to help you if you need it. She's also so nice and made the class much more enjoyable because of the kind of person she was.

I enjoyed having Professor Turner for BSL 212. She is able to give lectures clearly, and is always willing to help clarify anything you may be confused about. My only critique is that sometimes she will take off silly points on the quizzes for language and won't explain why. Otherwise, as long as you properly study for everything, you will do well.

Dr. Turner is very kind and gives great lectures. Attendance is required and necessary for the notes. The exams are pretty difficult and require a lot of studying. They are worth 90% of your grade and she does not curve the class so it can be hard to get an A. She takes off points for little things and does not really let you review past exams.

Dr. Turner was my absolute favorite professor this semester. She is very caring and her lectures are amazing. She will answer every single question you ask, no matter how "stupid" you think it might be. She explains the content very clearly so there is no confusion. The course is memorization heavy, but Dr. Turner makes it very easy to do well

Easily the best professor at the school. The class is not easy by any means but if you study and work hard you will be fine. Turner is one of few professors who I can confidently say cares about her students. Make the effort to go to her office hours and get to know her, she will do everything she can to help you out throughout the semester

Professor Turner was easily my favorite professor at this university. She taught everything so clear and made sure the entire class was positive about a topic before she moved forward. She explains everything so well and is so easy to meet with outside of the classroom. I went to her for office hours before every single quiz and she was amazing

Karen Turner is a great teacher. Her class is lecture-heavy. There is no assigned homework. The way she teaches is straightforward, and she consistently gives time for questions. All you have to do is study the outlines and read/remember the court cases, and you will do well.

The truth. I have absolutely no idea how this horrible professor has a 5/5. This is the only class I have ever received an A- in. Her quizzes are confusing and says that they can be argued, but then shuts down whoever tries. One quiz was a matter of opinion and 3/4 of the class had the same thought process, and she gave everyone bad grades. AVOID!!

Karen turner is undoubtedly the best bsl 212 professor here. I would deadass take a bullet for her. Her class isnt easy but if you study before quizzes it shouldnt be too bad. She is always happy to re explain things untill you understand.

Professor Turner is one of the best professors I have had here at UM. Her lectures are super engaging and she makes you want to learn more about corporate law. The tests can be hard if you do not study properly, but as long as you stay up to date on textbook readings and take good notes, this class should be a relatively straight-forward A.

She is friendly and does care about her students' understanding of material before moving on. However, these quizzes are nearly impossible to do well on. If you mess up just 1, that is 10% of your grade and makes it VERY hard to recover. While this might just be the curriculum of the course, very harsh grading!! also ALL memorization

The 5.0 ratings are because she is very nice and very knowledgeable. If you want to learn in specific detail the inner workings of Contract Law, take professor Turner. Tests are memorization ... an absurd amount of memorization. You will understand the law well after taking professor turner, but how much do you want to increase your stress level?

The few bad ratings are laughable, clearly from lazy students. If it's not obvious, the 110+ 5 star ratings speak for professor Turner. She is the goat. After the first quiz you should realize how to get an A on the rest of them. My recommendation: do not read the book chapter until right before quizzes. Maximizes success and minimizes workload.
