What Students Say

He tells you where to look for things he'd be testing on

BLAW3311 - 5.0 rating

Took him for law 1&2 and real estate law, great professor and exams are easy, I never went to class except for review days, he basically tells you whats on the exam and just study that, not sure if he curves or not, and exams are all M/C and they are the only grades you have, attendance is not mandatory, but the book is a must, lectures are boring

He knows his stuff. Materials can be dry at times. But you MUST read the book to do well on the test. Be ready to read about 25 chapters for this class(it's not as bad as it sounds.) Does give out extra credits which is really easy. Also curves if the class average is low. Overall it's a do-able class.

Teaches well and gives great test reviews. If you want to do well on his exams, take good note of his test reviews. Easy B but can be a hard A. Only flaw is that he can be very lazy with uploading grades. Sometimes takes a week for you to get your test grades back.

He is a great professor and a lecturer, but you can't simply pass his class by just showing up. In fact, a lot of students gave up on attendance after the first test, and just study on their own time. His tests are extremely tricky, and not straight forward, a lot of concept and critical thinking questions. Gives extra credit and help, just tough.

*DONT BUY TXTBK* unless you need too, but you can find a pdf online for free. He has 3 exams including the final and thats it. Your grade is based off those 3 exams. His lectures are hella boring, just come on review days and he tells you exactly what to study. Do that, and you'll be fine.

The grade is determined by 6 exams only. The exams are easy if you read the textbook and study his review. The review basically covers the concepts that will be on the test and if you make sure you know those concepts, you'll do good. Professor Schwemer's lectures are helpful but not mandatory.

Professor Schwemer has a great personality! Read your book and go to the lecture and you'll do fine. Reading can be boring but during a lecture, he makes it interesting and helped you understand the material. He is awful about responding to emails. Just read, go to the lectures, pay attention, and you'll be okay. Don't stress.

Great professor! I missed a test and ended up with a 66. But, his lectures are interesting and full of helpful information. Goes by the book! With real world application. Go to class, follow with the book, and meet him outside of class - never responded to e-mails. The exams weren't too bad! Had alot of time for it and no lockdown.

Easiest Blaw professor at UTA. He is an easy A because the exam is the same as the review. 3 exams (lockdown and in-person with access code). no other grade. Lectures are dry but he uses echo 360 so you can watch at your own time. He is also bad at responding to emails so don't bother asking for anything.

You can tell he knows what hes talking about, lectures are kinda boring but he goes in order and straight out of the book. Not very accessible outside of class. The grade is based on 4 exams, which makes it hard to keep it up if you fail one. Unfortunately I failed the class because I wasnt prepared for the PROCTORED exams that were overwhelming.

Graded by 4 exams throughout the semester. Do NOT bother reading the textbook, instead sit through the lecture and take good notes since he goes over material and cases straight from the book. REVIEW TEST REVIEWS!! Make sure you know the topics thoroughly (this is when you should go straight to the textbook). Does not answer emails, ask in person.

I would recommend taking this professor for "BLAW 3314" or basically "Real Estate Law". It is vital to study the videos and they boring but they give good info for the test. ACTUALLY WATCH THE REVIEWS. His tests are easy as long as you watch the review before He actually does base his tests off lectures which is AMAZING. I can't give enough praise!

Professor Lee is straightforward - his lectures cover the textbook, and he makes it clear what will be on the exams. While dry, the material is manageable if you attend class, take good notes, and use resources like unstuckstudy for study prep. Overall, a decent class if you put in the work.

I read the textbook and listened to the recorded lectures online. It's an in-person class, but he records it to be accessible outside of class, which is great for those with busy schedules (especially since there are not many options for class times). Graded by a few exams and an extra credit paper. He's a lenient grader; minimal study time.
