Dr. Sayers makes learning fun. She is entertaining and good at using that to convey understanding of complicated legal concepts. If you average an A or B, she exempts you from the final. My only advice is that you read ahead, she tends to fall behind a lot and then try to cram all the uncovered material into a couple of days right before a test.

Mrs. Sayers was very enthusiastic about teaching business law I to us, she was placed and handled some pretty juvenile behavior by some young adults in class this year and was still able to teach them something. I for one was lost in the business law world and Mrs. Kelly's teaching technique was even able to teach an old bird like me.
