Not an easy class for some who don't completely understand law, BUT he makes himself available for questions to help you understand.

hes awesome. tough class but great guy. looks exactly like donahue

Good professor, hard tests

Really nice guy. Talks kind of fast though, so sometimes you miss what he's saying while trying to take notes. Always willing to help you if you have questions. Tests are kind of hard, but he curves. Would definitely recommend that you try to go to class as much as possible.

Very nice and personable. Take good notes, many questions on the tests are scenarios from the lecture not found in the book or his powerpoint. The test questions are all case scenarios, 25 multiple choice, and very hard, but he curves 1 to 2 questions and 88 is an A, so if you score 80, you may get an A.

Talks really fast. Tests are tough. But he's fair and a good teacher overall.

this is a hard class...but if u study the slides and the study guide the test is pretty simple. you just have to really understand and apply all definitions to real life situations. if you can do that it should be no prob

This class is difficult; however, if you pay attention in class and take good notes-you can get an "A". He does not mind when students ask questions -and he gives quizes almost everyday-but there only 3 questions and he gives lots of hints during the quiz. A very nice teacher and this was one of my favorite classes.

He gives curves and his grading scale makes it easy to pass with a decent grade!

Brilliant, passionate professor. Treats students with respect and doesn't insult your intelligence. But, he lectures at lightning speed; so, write really fast and listen carefully to the lectures (especially the case examples).

I really thought I would hate this class, but I really enjoyed it. He is very animated and expect him to start yelling about how this or that case was a really screwed up decision on the part of the jury or judge!Plus he kinda looks like Einstein which makes it even funnier. It's all case law and he covers everything in lecture. Go to class = pass.

I love this guy. He really loves law which makes the class more interesting. He likes getting questions and raising debate. Listen carefully and take notes, his tests are tricky but he curves each one according to overall performance. 13 easy in-class quizzes but he drops the lowest 3.

Extremelyboring!!!! His tests are tricky, so you really need to take good notes and pay attention.

He is HILARIOUS! I swear he's the Dr. Phil of Business Law. He has a wealth of knowledge and is eager to share it with his students. He gives detailed notes and lots of examples. There are only 3 tests which makes it hard if your not a good test taker since he tests on concepts and not definitions. Overall GREAT CLASS!

The book and a course notes pack are required. You must do the reading to get a good grade in this class. He makes it a lot of fun and is willing to answer questions. Very inciteful!

If you read the book, go to class, and take notes in the course pack you can get a A.

Great instructor. Thought the class was one of the best so far. Go to class, listen and take good notes and you will do fine on the tests.

He's a cool guy. Creates interesting discussions and made business law pretty interesting. Was really helpful in the grading, when he got behind in the chapters at the end of the semester, he made the final exam optional.

One of the coolest professors i've had yet. He talks pretty fast but explains everything. His tests aren't that bad if you study. He gives 10 true/false quizzes throughout the year but he lets you know when they are comming. I highly reccomend him. If you take notes and study for the test you will do just fine

Tests came out of left field and only consisted of 25 questions. You have to read the book and have a THOROUGH understanding of the information. However he did curve. He gave 9 T/F quizzes throughout semester and told you when we would have them. Class was extremely boring.

You have to read all of the chapters (& cases) to do well. Zugelder can be pretty funny and very helpful if you ask questions, tests can seem like they come from nowhere if you don't read. Prob. a tougher law prof. @ ODU than others but a good guy. Made me actually interested in law & lawschool.

Attendence not mandatory. He talks extremely fast & you really have to pay close attn to get all the notes. You must really know the material for the exams because they aren't that easy if you just skim the book. 10-12 quizzes & drops lowest 2. Nice guy. class can be extremely boring but i would still recommend him.

He loves his Law subject and tries to make it interesting and funny during class. He speaks really fast..and you must follow the Case studies in class because the tests will have similar ones. Attendance is not require..but you will want to come. He curves his grades..and he is real nice.

Nice guy and very smart. Took him for a 4 week summer session. 3 tests, all with 25 multiple choice questions, also ten quizzes with 3 true/false questions, the lowest two get dropped. I got a B overall. The subject matter can be tricky sometimes, but it's nothing you can't handle if you just study. Take him!

One of the best in odu. Got A.

good teacher. funny and knows his stuff. go to class and pay attention and you wont even need to study for a good grade. he gives out 10 quizs and 2 are dropped. they are easy. 3 tests that are multiple choice. overall cool teacher.

He is very knowledgeable about the law! I would certainly recommend taking this class with him because it will be memorable!

Great teacher. No cumulative final or homework, 10 pop quizzes with 2 dropped, and tests are MC but you still have to study to get B or higher.

Nice guy, kinda funny. Very knowledgeable :)

This wasn't an easy class but if you listen to him in class the quizzes are easy and if you study from the book also you should do fine on the tests. There's about 10 quizzes and he drops the lower 2. The test is really critical thinking and situational, not just terminology.

Very knowledgable and interesting to listen to. Be prepared to listen to him talk for the full amount of time in class. There is little room to participate. There are 3 exams that are challenging and require critical thinking. The exams are 25 question M/C. There are 10 quizzes, lowest two dropped, and they are very easy.

This class was surprisingly easy for me. If you go to class and pay attention, you will do well. My studying consisted of reviewing my notes for about 30 minutes before each class, and I got a B+. 10 quizzes and three exams. No surprises. You don't need the book if you go to class. If you miss a class though, it's easy to fall behind.

Dr. Zugelder is a funny guy and makes class interesting. You don't need to buy the "guide" he recommends because you can just print the outline of his powerpoints from blackboard and take notes. The book is thick, but he doesnt cover all the chapters. His tests are tough because its situation based questions so read and pay attention

His tests make you think. He does not hand out grades, you must earn them. Slight curve by shifting grading scale. 3 tests and 10 "easy quizzes." Lowest two quizzes dropped.

This class is completely insane. Prof Zugelder is a lawyer and you can tell during his lectures. No matter how much I attended class and studied, I couldn't get over a 68, which to him is a C. His grading criteria makes the class bearable. He is a decent professor, but the classmaterial is terrible.

It's law so of course it gets a little boring but Mr. Zugelder does a good job of keeping it entertaining. Tests are all multiple choice but they are hard! You need to know the different terms inside and out. Pay attention to the cases he goes over in class.

Good class. Tests can be difficult; have to know the terms well and apply the to cases. Grading scale is adjusted, so that's pretty nice. No extra credit offered. You have to really work for the grade you want.

I am so glad I was in Professor Zugelder's class for FIN 331. He does an amazing job of clarifying and condensing a dense and complex body of law. I found his lectures really interesting and I liked his sense of humor. I highly recommend getting the lecture guide for his class from the ODU bookstore: its cheap and will save you a lot of effort.

I enjoy his lectures. He breaks down the materials and explain them in plain language. This makes it easier to understand because the book is so dense to read. He seem to talk fast at first but you will get use to the pace. Tests can be difficult but he curves so that is a big plus for passing! I recommend taking him.

Do not buy the textbook, it is not needed. All you need is his booklet from bookstore (he gives an extra handout) and your notes. All you need to do to pass is read over your notes/booklet and mainly the handout and you will pass. The textbook just makes the material more confusing as it is very dry material. Tests are hard and has pop quizzes.

I took this class online, it was tough but if you work hard you can do well. Use the outlines he provides when you are reading each chapter. There were 10 quizzes and 3 tests, no final. The quiz and test questions are multiple choice and they are very focused on concepts, don't memorize definitions. He was responsive and let me take a test late.

Only grades are tests and daily quizzes. He curves the grades and really knows what he is talking about. Tests are hard and you will need to work for your grade, but he is willing to help as much as he can. Pay attention to his examples and you should be fine. One of the best choices for this class.

Quizzes every class. Only 3 tests no homework. Curves every test. He's an amazing professor who knows the material and explains it well. Highly recommend. No proctor U. Uses scantrons

If you take this class with any other prof., you've wasted your time. He doesn't care about specific court cases, just that you understand the core concepts. He has "Easy Quizzes" that live up to their names (3 TF Questions) and his tests are based on scenarios and if certain concepts would apply to them, which are easy if you study your notes.

Zugelder is an enthusiastic professor, 10 start of class pop quizzes and 3 exams. The textbook is good for understanding the concepts but make sure you can apply them in scenarios. Pay attention to the cases he talks about in class

i took the 3 week intensive. this is by far, the hardest class ive taken the entire time ive been in college & ive taken a few intensives. i am a senior now. however, mr zugelder was very helpful. 10 t/f quizzes, 3 tests. LOTSSS of reading. tests are lots of scenarios so be able to apply concepts! he did curve tests.

Holy God, where do I start? This class was by far the hardest class that I have ever taken. The midterm and final are worded in a way that most of the answers seem like they are correct. All I will say is know your stuff, cause if you don't you will fail. He does curve and honestly that is the only thing that saved me.

The class content was challenging, but the lectures made the content clear. Exams are situational and challenging. Class is graded on a curve, so as long as you put the time in to study, you should do well. Periodic quizzes were very similar in wording to exams. Going to class is extremely important, and buy the lecture guide at the bookstore.

Hard Test Grader. Quizzes and Tests are no where near the same. Easy Quizzes, unfortunately difficult Tests.

I see the other reviews, but I did not have a bad experience with Professor Zugelder. He is a nice guy, the quizzes were easy, and I buckled down and got decent test grades. It was not an easy class, but I have taken far more difficult courses. Just make sure you study, and he makes it clear what we should study as well.

Professor Zugelder is so dope, not to mention handsome!! His class is definitely difficult but if you ask questions and spend minimal time studying you'll do just fine. Some people say he's difficult but if you listen intently to his lectures you'll find out how funny and informative he is! Also he gave us extra credit and curves tests

Class was self taught, all online. Only grades are quizzes and three tests. No curves and no extra credit. Test questions are worded poorly and confusing. Tests are taken online through lockdown browser. Nothing overly difficult and certainly better than professor Larkin's FIN331 class. Read and re-read test questions and you will do ok.
