Good professor over all , it was a writing intensive class so a lot of papers to hand in. Participation matters, he'll find you whether you're in the front or back. Most Important thing is that you must read the chapters that are assigned before class, he will ask you questions and if you do not know then you will end up with a 6 pg paper

I took his BU201 and BU301 class. He is very caring and nice to students. He gives a lot of extra credit to help you get a good final grade. Class and exams are easy as long as you read the textbook. He gives a practice exam before every exam. It helps a lot. I miss his class, and he is the best professor at QCC!!!

During online classes he turns off chat. He ignores any issues students have with blackboard. (No sound no video etc etc) he takes attendance which I dont mind however he does it at 2:10 exactly

Coincidentally am writing a review at the same time some else in the class has. Hes a fair professor but hes not paid to solve individuals tech issues. Chat is turned off so you wont distract the class and figure it out on your own. Do the assignments, attend class on time, read the textbook, pay attention and youll do great!

Prof. Leslie is amazing. Hes very knowledgeable in his field. Do participate in class, he gives extra credits that go towards final grade. Definitely read the subject before class.

Professor Francis is a bit strict, but he is a good professor. I enjoyed his class and method of teaching as he makes sures that we are paying attention and participate. He is big on attendance!! His tests are fair, and you will only struggle if you do not pay attention to the lectures or do not study your textbook at all. I would take him again.

the classes are not boring, he got good topics but his exams are so dificult, the most of the class did not pass the first 2 exams and he was telling us to drop the class to the 95% of the students in the class.

I wouldn't call this professor a bad one but he's very test heavy. There are 4 tests, & it makes up a huge part of your grade plus participation. He gives extra credit through McGraw Connect, so you have to pay for it to access it. Read the textbook, pay attention, ask some questions so he'll give you participation points, & you should be ok.

Professor Francis is a great teacher. Your grade is based on 4 tests but 3 with the lowest score dropped. Business law is not something you can sit around and do nothing to get an A. All you have to do is study the night before and you'll score high on the tests. For each test he gives you all the topics on the test and they are pretty specific.

The textbook is so poorly written, don't be surprised if the information isn't sinking in at first read. He is a tough grader, and gave me a low grade for an opinion based law paper. He took 15 points off a well written & supported paper because I shared a different opinion from him. Slow to reply to emails, its best to avoid him entirely.

Professor Francis was a genuinely nice professor, his lectures at times were fast paced which I loved but some may not. I had a hybrid course with him, which may be why he was very fast paced. He will answer question very thoroughly. He is very lenient with deadlines as long as there is a reason.

Great class. Great prof. Pay attention to the slides and READ the textbook!!! He's not boring at all, he's funny and very entertaining which makes it easier to pay attention and understand the material. He gives quizzes once a week on each chapter and helps you prepare for examines. he gives HW and Extra credit so take advantage of that!

Professor Francis has a test-heavy approach, but provides exam review and allows you to drop the lowest score. The textbook is dry, so studying with Unstuck AI alongside the material is helpful. Keep up with the readings and you'll do well.

A lot of extra credit. we met twice a week in person. only 4 tests over which you received your grade. perform well on those 4 tests, and you would get a A. attendance was important as he took attendance. assignments were all extra credit. we had to purchase the e-book for this course.

I took professor Francis during my second semester at QCC. I am about to graduate and he has been ny favorite professor of all. His evaluation method is pretty clear, class quizes and multiple choice exams, but he gives one manu extra credit opportunities. He uses a lot of examples and real /hypothetical scenarios to explain heavy terminology.

My class was asynchronous but you can tell when someone is just rude. Uses AI detectors for papers as if the site itself doesn't state that they're not accurate because it can identify human writings as AI writing. The rest of the negative reviews align with who he/she is. I would not recommend.

He is very nice and I got along with him very well. He only has 4 tests. He gives other assignments as extra credit. Do the homework and study for every test. Overall I have no complaints.
