Best professor I have ever had.
One of the best professors I've ever had
Had her my first semester. By far the greatest professor. She gets so into the topic and even though it's boring she makes it interesting. Her tests are everything from the notes so study and you will get an A. Don't bother buying the textbook we never used it
You can guarantee an A if you attend class and take all the notes. The material you learn in class is directly related to all of her tests. Excellent professor!
She knows how to teach a class. Very clear about what will be on the test. If you pay attention during class and take notes there is no possible way you will fail. There aren't any curveballs on her tests; it's very basic. Her lectures are somewhat entertaining and she just seems like a nice person in general. Clear and concise.
Very fair professor. Show up and take notes and you are guaranteed an A. No homework or any outside work (Don't get the textbook, even though the first day of class she says we'll use it, we never once did). Very nice lady. Tests have extra credit questions too
What an excellent professor, she's passionate about what she does and she is very straightforward. I really really enjoyed her class!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! If you pay attention and study the review, its an easy A.
LOVE HER! She is so knowledgeable about her field and what she teaches. She keeps you almost till the last second of class, but she makes it so interesting. Really knows how to teach. 3 tests and a final, all from the notes. She basically tells you whats on the test. No homework ever, and she is so sweet to all her students. Highly recommend
Best Professor! If you have the chance definitely take her. I took Employment Law, don't remember the course number. The class was really interesting and she is very helpful. Grading criteria are clear and it is easy to get an A if you try. I always liked going to class and learned a lot! Don't miss this chance!
Professor Clifford might be the best professor I've ever had! She is super nice and explains the material in a way that all can understand. She also makes a dry material come to life because you can tell how passionate she is about law when she lectures. Tests are easy if you just study all the terms she tells you to study. EASY A!! Awesome!
Professor Clifford has extremely clear and well organized lectures, and she is super enthusiastic about teaching law.
Hands down best Professor I've taken at Farmingdale! She's so sweet and keeps class lectures interesting! Very helpful to students and her tests are very straight forward. Definitely take her!!
I LOVE professor Clifford. I took her for Business Law 1 and I would definitely take her again. Her tests are extremely fair. Not only that, but she also has a review session the class before the test. Make sure you don't miss that class, because she literally goes over what's exactly going to be on the test and what's not. She's very helpful too.
Professor Clifford is a sweetheart. She wants and expects her students to do well. There are a lot of notes in the class. Copy them, they are on the examination! Attendance is mandatory! Finally, Professor Clifford has time outside of class to help you if you are struggling or have a question.
I had her for several different law classes on campus. She is my favorite professor that I've ever had. She doesn't give too much work and makes the material interesting and easy to understand. If only every professor was as great as her..
My heart beats out of its chest for this women. she is the textbook example of what a good instructor should be. Passionate, inspiring, compassionate, and professional. Her test are strictly based from her notes, she does a review prior to exams, and purchase of textbook not necessary. Just photocopy case studies she assigns from the library!
Best teacher I have ever had in my life. If you take her and care about school, there is no reason to get less than an A. Makes the class interesting and is an amazing gem of a person.
She's a gem
She is great! I haven't had a good experience at this school but I actually looked forward to this class. She is caring and intelligent and explains the material very well. I purchased the textbook but you really only need it to read the cases other than that notes taken in class will be sufficient for exams.
Seriously the best Professor! She cares about her students and makes sure you understand her. Her tests are very easy as long as you study. Come to class every day, take notes and you will do just fine. Such an amazing Professor I highly recommend!!
Clifford is one of the best professors I have ever had. Her tests can be difficult, but she makes everything very clear and easy to understand. Her lectures aren't boring and you can tell she cares about her students. I highly recommend taking her classes.
I absolutely adore her! She is one of the greatest professors at Farmingdale. I thought business law was going to be boring, but she made the lectures so much fun and interesting. You will learn a lot in her class. She's hilarious and very approachable. I would 100% recommend taking her.
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR! She is the living definition of a real professor. So passionate about what she teaches and even though I took her 8:00 am class, I'd leave with so much energy. She's the best thing to happen to your educational life, do yourself a huge favor and take her class. She honestly brings inspiration to do well with a fair workload.
Hands-down the best professor ever had. She cares about her students and what she's teaching which is rare to have both and she teaches in a way that you can truly understand the root of the curriculum. If you pay attention you will learn
The best teacher on this campus by far. Definitely take her
Love her!! Take her class. She so passionate about her job and she is always looking out for her students to do well! I had her for Bus law 1
Really nice and super knowledgeable about the subject. Goes out of her way to help you and gives very interesting and clear lectures. Would definitely take a class with her again.
AMAZING! I had her for BusLaw1 in Spring2016 & I am excited to have her again for Employment Law this fall! Passionate, knowledgeable, she should really teach other professors how to be better professors. Makes a boring topic relevant and engaging. Cannot speak highly enough of her.
Absolute best prof on campus! Her knowledgeable and passion about the subject clearly conveyed in her lectures.
Such a nice woman! It was a tough topic for me to get into at first but she did a great job getting me into the class! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Hands down the BEST Professor at Farming dale and the best professor I had by far. Inspiring ball of Fire, cares about students and very hands on when class finishes.. Highly recommend if you have a chance to take any of her classes it's a MUST!!!!! Take notes, and you should have A.
Best professor ive had so far. She is so caring and has so much passion for what she teaches. lots of hand written notes on the board but they're amazing, make sense, and are organized. Review class before each exam and practically gives you the answers. If she taught any other class besides BUS202 i would so take it. TAKE HER
Professor Clifford is one of the best professor I have ever had. I took Business Law one and I would be take her again. She is so sweet. Her exams are fair. She reviews before the exam.
Amazing professor! She is very understanding and kind. Took her Bus Law 1 class. If you're stuck, just ask and she's there to help. Can also be funny to lighten the mood up in class. As far as grades and tests go, very fair. Would definitely recommend Prof Clifford
THE BEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER HAVE! She is the nicest, most understanding professor I have ever had at Farmingdale. I wish I could take her again and again! She makes class fun and interesting, would definitely recommend Prof Clifford! It's impossible to not like her.
BEST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD. Absolutely caring and passionate about what she teaches. Gives the most amazing notes, although its a lot, theyll have everything you need to get an A. Gives review for test, word for word what will be on the exam. Not only a good professor but also an amazing person, not to mention a good bod lol. TAKE ALL HER CLASSES!!!
Very good professor and really cares about the student. Interesting topics along with law concepts to drive the point home.
BEST TEACHER! This class can have dull material, but she is so passionate about it that it makes it fun and easy to go to class. She has a 5 rating for a reason. You wont regret it. She is very helpful outside the classroom as well. Lots of notes, but lots of extra credit and the tests are not hard. ALL multiple choice, and a few free answers.
very nice women BUT a human can only take so much lecturing. she talks so fast you lose tract of what she is saying. Does not use powerpoints common lady we are in the 21 century stop with the dry erase board. she does give a 20 min review session for exams where she crams in 4 chapters and u end up even more confused than before you got there
LOVE HER. You must take her classes and she truly cares about her students! You will learn so much about law and the outside world. If you want someone to easily pass a class take her!!!
I wish every professor would teach the way she does. Professor Clifford is very clear in her lectures and Is so passionate in what she does. She really cares about her students and wants to see them do well. Cant wait to take future classes with her!
great professor, cares ALOT about law. Is very helpful. She's a character!
Prof. Clifford clearly loves her course and makes each chapter relevant in one way or another. She isn't a professor who creates PowerPoints and reads right off them, she knows her topic perfectly and will connect each chapter to the real world. Had an extremely clear grading criteria, each exam was very fair, and you should know if you review.
She talks a lot and you have to write down everything she says but she is the nicest lady in the world. She really cares about her students getting a good grade and makes sure u really understand what you are learning. Only 2 hw assignments that are so easy and about 3-4 tests that she reviews for the class before
Overall, this was a good course, although at time it could be challenging. Professor was very helpful, but I honestly thought I would do better than I did. I did study.
by far the most amazing professor at farmingdale. No tricks or games, straight to the point with everything. Reviews are the tests identically!! take her
Pretty good prof for this course although sometimes her explanations could be a bit too complex. Read the text and you will do fine.
Awesome teacher with some great lectures
An Angel
This was a pretty good course considering this is not an easy course. I didn't have the greatest professor in the first course, but she was much better at explaining things. I suggest not being absent. Tough to catch up in a course like this.
Take her! I would take her any chance I got. Absolute sweetheart. Tells you everything that is going to be on the tests, gives extra credit, and the textbook isn't necessary (she tells you that). Lectures are heavy but she does her best to make them interesting.
One of the better professors on campus. It's pretty hard not to do well in this courses. Pay attention, do the work, and you should be okay. Nice lady too.
Amazing Professor, get ready to take a lot of notes. Her tests are based on the notes, if you study the notes it will be an easy A. Give extra credit for attendances. She explain each cases study and notes in great details.
Awesome professor. Show up and copy whats on the board. Test reviews taken strictly from the notes. Two easy homework assignments straight from the notes. And she makes class interesting. I would take her again in a heart beat.
Professor Clifford teaches what you need to know for her exams. Each review is thorough and she restates(word for word) key points you will see on the exam. She is enthusiastic during each lecture. She is a very fair grader. If you want an easy "A" and an enjoyable law class(yep, I said enjoyable), then take Professor Clifford.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. She is so passionate about teaching and her students. Just pay attention, take your notes, and perhaps record her review session and you will receive a good grade. I like that she writes her notes on the board because it helps you memorize the material and when the test comes studying is a breeze. No trick questions on exams.
More than willing to help you, fantastic! Nothing else needs to be said.
One of the best professors ive ever had. She makes the material so interesting & you can tell she truly cares about her students. The lectures never get boring which makes you want to never miss a class. Take her class you wont regret it!!
Professor is extremely caring about her students. She gives amazing lectures keeping you interested and prepares you extremely well for the test. If you pay attention in class it's an easy A because she explains everything so we'll.
If you have the opportunity I would DEFINITELY take Professor Clifford. She is such a passionate professor and helps as much as she can! Cares about her students
Prof made a quite boring class unboring. Very concerned with student progress. A good class considering it is a required course. Would definitely take another course with her again.
Professor Clifford is the absolute BEST and super sweet! If you want to pass her class, show up to every class and take ALL notes because those exact notes will be on the test which is multiple choice. She does test reviews and she always gives examples/cases to help you remember the info. Also make sure to make a friend just incase you miss class
Pofessor Clifford is probably the best professor I've had at Farmingdale. Get ready to take tons of notes but she literally tells you what is going to be on the test and gives you the discussion questions from the test before hand. Took her 3 semesters in a row. If I could I would have taken her again.
I've taken Employment Law and Business Organizational Law with professor Clifford and she is the BEST. She the chairperson of Legal Studies and a former attorney that provides great feedback for Pre-law students and anyone interested in law. She's supportive, understanding, respected, and she does everything to help students understand the material
Hey guys!! Professor Clifford is amazing! She has been one of the best online Professors I have ever had! I also had her in person, and she really knows how to teach! She is super empathetic and understanding with her students. And she is always there for anyone who may have questions. She is one of the sweetest professors ever! Please take her!!!!
Professor Clifford is a great teacher who genuinely tries to help every student. She doesnt give lots of work and her assignments are typically easy. I have taken her for 2 classes now and would 100% take again.
She is a wonderful professor was very nice. I love how much energy she puts into her lectures. All tests multiple-choice, based on PowerPoint notes. Only had 2 homework assignments the whole semester. Didn't use the textbook much, I'd say you can do without it since she posts photos of textbook pages most of the time. Also she records the lectures.
She made a diffucult course seem less difficult. I liked this professor.
Professor Clifford is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Cares about her students doing well and is always eager to help. 1 writing assignment, 1 presentation, 3 exams (M/C and S/A). The course was very enjoyable and reviews before each exam. Textbook was not necessary because she prints out all the case law and uploads it to blackboard.
Best professor. Super nice and actually puts effort into the lectures. If you take notes you will pass every exam because she covers every question during class.
I took this professor two times in a row and she is amazing! She is so nice, understanding, and very helpful in office hours. She even reviews for tests, which is awesome! I would highly recommend her for Business Law.
I took Professor Clifford for BUS202 as well as BUS352 and BUS406. Shes the BEST Professor. You only have 3 tests and 2 homeworks. Her class is very easy to pass as long as you take notes. Shes very caring about her students and wants everyone to do well. If u take BUS202 and want easy business electives take 352 and 406 they are the same as 202
One of the best professors Ive had at Farmingdale. Professional, kind and friendly. Show up to class, take notes, do what she asks and youll be completely fine.
Hands down one of the nicest, sweetest best professors out there. She is such a great teacher I wish I could give her a million stars. She truly puts a lot of effort into making her students succeed. I could write a 20-page paper on how great of a teacher she is.
There's a million reasons I could give on why you should take one of Prof Clifford's courses. Her lectures are conversational and easy to follow. There's little to no homework-- aside from reading case law. Exams are easy and non-cumulative. She also gives opportunity for extra credit. 100% would take another one of her classes.
I can't say enough about Professor Clifford. She is so sweet and understanding,and is always available. There was no HW for this class just test and case studies readings.Take lots of notes this will help for the exams she lets us use open notes. Also the cases she chose were interesting and sparked plenty of conversations amongst peers. Good luck!
Such a sweet professor! She breaks everything down in a interesting and easy way to understand business law. Exams and homework are extremely reasonable, if you keep up with the cases and material you will be successful.
Learns everyones names, gives 4 exams, no homework, super sweet and understanding. Gave us all an extra credit opportunity. Reminds you of the exams and reviews to help you. Easily one of the best profs I've had
Prof Clifford is very nice, and there was no textbook or homework given. Three tests and a short project. Pay attention and take notes, review slides before exams.
My favorite professor at farmingdale. I have taken her for 3 classes already. She is the sweetest women ever, she truly cares for her students. Her lectures are amazing and teaches it so you understand it. She makes law classes easy. Take her you won't regret it.
She is soooo nice and very understanding. 3rd time taking her bc she's that good. Clear and informative slides. one verbal case study presentation, very easy and she basically takes over the talking. 3-4 in person tests about 30ish questions each. no hw, no textbook.
A very nice and humble person. She explains all material so vividly and makes connections to current events. The course can be difficult but she is willing to help all students succeed in her class. Little to no HW or quizzes, and exams carry the burden of our grades. Even outside of class, she is an amazing person to have a conversation with.
would recommend taking her class. was easy to manage with other classes, homework load was extremely light and as long as you pay attention during class and study what she reviews you will pass with an A. shes very nice and understanding
Mary Clifford has to be one of my favorite professors at the school of business. Law isn't my favorite subject but her passion for what she teaches makes class bearable. Extremely sweet woman who makes her students very comfortable. Provided readings we needed in class. Reasonable exams, adapts to her students despite not being tech savvy.
one of the best professors. light work load, lectures are good enough to not fall asleep, review session before test and super understanding. pay attention in her class and youll do well
Great teacher. Light class, and you can tell she really cares about her students success. About 4-6 tests including the midterm and final. (All online) She is available outside of class and offers extra credit at the end of the semester if you need a boost on your grade.
she's so sweet, tests are online in person, she's easy to contact outside of class
nice teacher, gives good lectures and caring. only downside is she gives pop quizzes but they are like 4 questions and they are about the case studies, and if you miss a day which had a pop quiz she lets you take it when your back which is nice. overall a really nice teacher i would def take her or Prof Lupinacci for business classes.
She's very nice and the workload is light. No homework aside from reading short cases, just tests and a few very easy pop quizzes based on assigned case readings. Very knowledgable and passionate for what she talks about. I highly reccomend.
This professor is amazing. Absolute angel, she will work with you and make sure you are good. She teaches very well, like we are in court watching her talk. She speaks with passion and energy. You will always know the lesson, no confusion. She is amazing
Great Professor
