ok, i wont say much here. just take this guy. if you try half as hard as you should, you'll get an A. trust me. show up, study a little, you'll ace the tests. he's a lawyer too so he knows what he's talking about.
take this course with him. Easy A
He is awesome!!!!!! He is super nice and super helpful. His lectures are very animated (you'll know what I mean when you take him). Take home midterm and take home final that's it. Your grade is based on attendance and the take home exams (2). You won't regret taking his course. He even takes food or candy to his classes.
EASY " A" and great professor; one midterm and one final taken home. recommended....
Loved this class and this professor!! He's passionate, enthusiastic and highly entertaining. He's a lawyer, so you can trust what he teaches. Just pay attention to the lectures and you'll do well on the 2 tests. I would definitley recommend this class and this professor. A perfect 10!
Recommend 100%. Take notes, show up to class, participate in class and you will do fine! If you want a non stressful class to go along with your stressful class load...take this class, you won't regret it.
Mr. Varisco is great, but you need to show up to class and take notes! Don't expect to get a good grade in his class without putting in the time and effort to pass. He is also very good about e-mailing you back with answers to questions. Would recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Varisco is an excellent professor. I had a great semester. The lectures were fun and interesting. The group discussions and class activities were fun and challenging. Do not expect to get an A without showing up for class. He is fun, but he is also fair. I would take him again if he was teaching other classes. You won't regret his class.
REALLY GREAT PROFESSOR! Had a lot fun last semester. Highly recommended. Take him! He knows how to teach ad how to have fun in the class.
EASY A ,Such a awesome Professor! So energetic, down to earth,and easy to get along with and especially is pretty cute :) I learned alot and had fun at the same time, if thats even possible.
I attended the first class of the semester because several of my friends said this guy is a really good teacher. After the first night, I can expect to have a good semester. He seems very fun, knowledgeabal, and seems like he can realy handle a large group of students. He is a lawyer, has alot of experience and is quite funny. So far impressed.
You students taking Mr. Varisco this semester won't regret it. He is very patient with the students; really seems to care. You'll enjoy the class lectures. Hang in there and you be glad you did. Although the tests are take-home, make sure you attend the classes! Also, his outlines are great and very useful for classroom discussion and memory.
He is one of the coolest and nicest teachers in the world. One midterm and a final and they are both take home. This is a very easy, stress-free class and an EASY A. Attendance is mandatory and you won't need to buy the book. He has a lot of interesting stories and makes class so much fun.
I am glad I took this class. I learned a lot about the law, and had fun while learning it. Attendance is important, but it was really worth attending. Even though the class was packed, it seemed like Mr. Varisco was giving each student personal attention. He is very genuine and really seems to care about the students.
This class has been a fun to take so far. The teacher has been very helpful to each of us. I emailed the teacher with a legal questions and he got back to me real fast. He gives a lot of free legal advice to the students(he's an attorney) when we have legal questions. He is a good addition to the Cypress teaching staff. Bye.
He is one of the best teachers he actually made me want to go to class at 7 pm. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! He writes out your notes for you. Exams are take home. He made the class fun and intersting with his stories (he is a lawyer). Attendance is mandatory but, you won't mind going to class. There are little group assign or questions to do in class
the best teacher ever! only thing you do in that class is just write down some notes. he tells a lot of funny stories too. dont need textbook. midterm and final are take home and really easy. you get extra credit for attending "all" classes. some other extra credit assignments. MUST TAKE HIM!
This was one class I really looked forward to going to. Mr. varisco applies alot of hands-on and real life experience to his class lectures. I learned so much about the law, business, writing and test taking. This class was fun. I like the way the teacher organized the class. The students bonded in class. Overall I give him an A+.
So far the class have been great. Teacher is very enthusiastic. So far the best teacher to date. I have learned a lot. Actually the class is pretty easy because he gives us outlines, we do group discussions and the lectures are really straihgtforward. The tests will be takehome too. This class has sparked an interst in me to go into the law.
LUV this class. The teacher is great. Easy to understand. I would take this class again. We have fun in class and it is like a family get-together. Everyon likes being there. Take this class if you want a good education and a different learning experience. SUJ
I had thisclass last semester and enjoyed it. I recomend this class. We had a lot of fun and learned so much. I would take this class again.
OK. I Recommend this class 100%. Just take notes and show up to class. Participate in class and you will do great! If you want a non stressful class to go along with your stressful class load, take this class, you won't regret it. He is a great teacher. He knows his stuff. He's a lawyer, a lot of humor in class. Everyone seems to show up. Easy A!
I really recomend this class. Had it last semester. Great class. Very informative and interesting. Teacher had alot of stories, fun facts, and conversation. Mr. Varisco made us feel like he was really interested in what we had to say.
Excellent class. Just turned in my take home exam. Had a great time this semester in this class. Best class taken at Cypress to date. Recommend it.
Very impressed with this class and instructor. This class was one of the funnest classes to get an A in. The take home exams were sort of challenging. Yes, you heard me, Take Home Exams! Mr. Varisco brought us chapter outlines and made our learning so much easier. The class was definitely worth taking.
OK, I won't say too much here but you gotta take this class, seriously. The class is fun, educational, and very interesting. The teacher has tons of examples and stories. The lectures are cool. The take home exams are very fair. He has outlines at every class. I would give this teacher a A+. N.G., Cypress.
Easy A, don't get the book. Great and funny teacher with actual experience as an attorney. You will learn about law in this class, and have a great and fun time as well.
I may not be the best student, but I got an A in this class. Mr. varisco really guided me along to understandign the material. I enjoyed the entire cvlass.
Overall this class was effective for me. The teacher gave us some really good learning tools that I have never used in other classes. The only dissapointment I had this semester was that our guest speaker (cop) was not able to show up for the class because he had some emergency or something. Other than that, the whole class really worked for me. I
AMAZING CLASS!!!!!!!!! I give the teacher and class an A+. U won't regret taking this class. Easy class for an A. Its almost like going to a comedy club each class, alot of great humor and fun. Plus, you will really learn alot.
The class was so helpful for me. I need the class for transfer to Long Beach State. I learned so much in the class and the teacher provided so much insight in what to expect in my more advanced business classes I will be taking at CSLB. The class went so smooth. Really enjoyed it all.
I highly recommend this class. My boyfriend and I took it together. We were able to work on the take home tests together. Some students worked on the tests and assignments in groups. This is the one class I enjoyed going to. The professor kept us going through the class with activities. I wish there was a follow-up class to this one.
We like the class because he puts everything in order and seems to really care about us. The teacher knows how to teach. Recommended.
TAKE HOME EXAMS! what more can i say?The Prof is a lawyer, he knows a lot and has a lot of interesting/funny stories. Is genuinely nice but Be punctual/attend every class session and don't disrespect or that will dock you on participation points. womp womp.
He makes the class super interesting, has a lot of stories to help you understand the material also. The exams are take home and overall pretty easy. Also has a guest speaker who is a cop, has pretty interesting stories. Highly recommend this class.
He's a really good teacher, makes coming to class fun, and you learn without knowing it
AWESOME!!! Even if you are not in love with the subject he makes it very easy and fun to learn. There is never a class without him telling a funny story. Easy on the homework and the eyes. What can be better?
I took this class last semester and I found it very helpful. The teacher is adimant about being on time and beign respectful to other students. Other than that, the class is fun. I learned alot about business law and what to watch out for in the business world. I really recomend taking this class. TJ.
I took the class last semester and did enjoy it. The work load was manageable and his class was entertaining. Students seemed to enjoy the class too. I actually looked forward to going to class in the evening. I do recommend this teacher/class.
Really good class so far this semester. Alot of funny stories; seems very interesting. Quite a change from my other classes. Not a dull class yet. Recommended. A+. KR.
Great Instructor, he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed, that's the way he made me feel. I learned a lot in his Business Law class. There should be more instructors like him at Cypress College!
Awesome class so far. Very enjoyable and educaitonal!
I was referred to this class was a friend of mine who took it the previous semester. Had the class last semester (SPG-2011) and really loved it. Teacher was really informed each class. It seems like we were always laughing. Very humorous class. I learned a lot about success in small business. The class actually helped me in starting my business.
Very enjoyable class so far this semester. Just make sure that you attend the classes and are on time. He keeps reminding the students to be careful about that. But overall good class. We got take home examsn, funny kectures and he enjoys teaching us. Highly recomended.
I agree. Great class. A must take!
I would say that I have enjoyed this semester. My carear path is in law, and this class was like an overview of the law for me. very understandable, very straight forward in the approach by the teacher. He only teaches this class and the other 241, but it has been a good semester. Michelle.
This was a real good class. The semester went very fast. I would recommend it. Teacher Mike was kind to all of us. He was very humorus. He had alot of stories and I actually learned something in class. Definitely worth it.
GREAT AND FUN INSTRUCTOR!
Best teacher I have ever taken. He's super nice and funny. There are 1 take-home midterm and 1 take-home final, a few easy homework. He also let us work in groups for both tests. Overall, this is a fun class you don't wanna miss. P/S: free pizza night.
Very nice, caring and funny. Made class very enjoyable and fun. Textbook is not needed because he explains everything very well in his handouts. He gives plenty of great examples that help you on the homework and tests, just be sure to pay attention! There should be more professors like him! I strongly recommend taking this class!
Highly recommended. Class was enjoyable. Looked forward to going to each class. Teracher was caring and really worked to help us. Would take this class again. He only teaches this class. Wish he taught other classes. He works full time as a attorney and spends his extra time at night to teach us. Really appreciate that. All very organized.
Fun class so far. Teacher really interested in helping us. Very interactive. Guest speaker was really good. Midterm is a take home exam. Highly recomended!
This is the most awesome professor ever! You don't need to buy the book, he gives handouts every class. Guest speaker. Pizza night. Interesting lectures and legal advice. Take-home midterm & final. About 3 very easy homework assignments. Hot professor teaching the class. What more can you ask for!
Loved the class. A lot of fun. Wish he taught more classes. I missed a class because of a family emergency. I explained it to him and he was real cool with it. He really enjoys teaching the class. I learned a lot.
This class was my most enjoyeable this last semester. A lot of humor and stories from the professor. I noticed that the class was the same size by end of semester. We all seemed to be sad the class was ending. It was a good class. Recomended!!
I really enjoy this class. In middle of semester and liking it so far. Lectures are fun. I can tell that Teach enjoys his job.
LOVE this class!!! Funny too. Semester is going great so far. Highly reccomended!!
Very good class this semester. Teacher keeps the class entertained and very informative. Would take again. he only teaches this one course though. Wish he taught others. Never a dull class. I look forward to going each Monday. It makes Mondays a fun day. Really recommend.
His way of teaching is different from most teachers but it really does help me understand the material well. He gives examples of scenarios and keeps his notes simple. You learn useful stuff in this class. He keeps his class interesting. I would recommend him.
He is a great guy! super nice and with his years of experience in law he has so many real life stories to relate to the topics of discussion. gives extra credit at the end if you never miss a class. homework is simple and tests are take home. Easy to understand and always willing to clarify when asked. highly recommend.
He is a great professor. He even helps you after the class. You don't need a textbook and just take good notes.
This class was by far my favorite. The teacher was super cool and I enjoyed the lectures. He is a real stickler about attendance. Just make sure you attend the classes and turn in the assignments. Exam questions are funny but straightforward. Really recomend.
amazing lettures!!!!! very fun class. His examples make you understand the lesson! would definitely take again!!!!
Professor Mike is among the best professors I have taken. He makes sure you understand the material. No need of the text book, gives you all the notes. PLEASE attend the class you will never regret it. He will DROP you if you constantly miss class. I would definitely take a class with him again. :)
This class was my best so far. The prof really seemed to care about the students. He took the time to listen to the students. The lectures were funny and interesting. He gave us outline handouts so that we could follow the lectures and make out own notes. His teaching style worked for me. He only teaches this course. Would take him again!
Love this class so far. Very fun to go to. Learning a lot too. The class seems packed each night. I usually take night time classes and some of the students in my other classes are tired and look sleepy. The teacher keeps us very interested throughout the night. He is always telling us stories about court, etc. Very interesting stuff.
Awesome teacher and a very easy class. Does not give out homework and is more lecture based, but he is so clear on what you need to know and is funny with some lawyer stories. He also bought us pizza on food day just cuz. Take this lovable Italian dude.
He is a great professor. His lectures are amusing and funny. I had a legal question and he stayed after class to help me with it. His homework assignments were straightforward. He really seems to care about the students. I would take the class again!
Wow. Awesome class. Best class to date. This was my only class I enjoyed coming to. Class was entertaining. Funny lectures. Exams were straigtforward. I could really relate to the teacher. Tje homework was easy enough. We got free pizza on one night. The pizza guy just came to our class and delieverd pizza. Very personable and kind.
I enjoyed this class last semester. I always looked forward to going to class. I really recommend it.
Mr. Varisco has been the best professor I have had at Cypress College. Very entertaining class. I axctually came to class each nite wanting to learn. Wish he was teaching other classes. Love Cypress College.
One of the most memorable professors I've ever taken. Super nice, funny and real AF. Night class gets cut super early so don't worry about taking him at night. Even if your unit load is high for a semester he does NOT add on to the stress or work load. Can't say too much without ruining the surprise SO T A K E H I M (trust me, won't regret it)
Seriously the best professor at Cypress College. He's extremely knowledgeable and always going out of his ways to help students. Such a genuine, kind, and humble professor. I actually always looked forward to class, his lectures were always very clear and informative and he always used real life examples to make it more clear.
Super easy teacher, easy grader, grade on the curve. All tests are allowed take home and a few in-class assignments. It's not hard. As long as you show up regularly, pay attention to what he taught and submit assigned homework. Getting A is a piece of cake. Trust me. Take his class, you won't be regret!!!
This is a great class. Our professor is very kind. His lectures are informative and very entertaining. I've learned a lot so far. I would definitely take this class again. I asked him if he teaches other classes because I'd take another class with him. I had a legal question and he spent time after class for me.
He can go off topic. So, it is difficult to follow his lecture because of that. He is amazing professor because he curve the whole grade of everyone's midterm exam. There are couple of assignments to turn in and he would goes over it in class. As long you show up in his class on time, turn in all of the hws, and do the exams. You should be fine.
This class was by far my best class this semester. The class was always fun and the lectures were very interesting. I wish I had more instructors like Mr. V. He really cares about the students. We even had a pizza night. I didnt think a law class could be that much fun. Hes also a fair grader but he will warn you to be on time & not miss class
Professor Mike was defintely the best teacher I have ever taken. Classes were always fun and Very informative. I don't think anyone dropped his class. I think we all looked forward to class each week. I would take him again.
Mr. Varisco is the best teacher at Cypress he is really caring for his students and wants them all to pass. Not only is his class funny but he uses real life experience to back up his words as a great lawyer and professor. I would definitely take his class again and hes definitely the best and hooks you up with stuff!
This class was literally the best class I have had at this college. Very recommended. Mr. Varisco was very kind as a teacher. I loved his teaching style. I have recommened this class to my friends.
This class I actually looked forward going to at night. The Teach made it enjoyable for me after a full day of work, and he made my HW load manageable. It is not easy with 2 kids and being a single mom. I learned alot from this class and would absolutely take it again. I recommend this teacher. Brenda.
Great class. I took Mr. Variscos class last semester. The lectures were nice. He always had new stories to tell. Hes a lawyer and he brought in new actual stories each class. He seemed to really care about the students. I learned a lot in the class. I wish he also taught other classes.
Amazing teacher! I really recommend this class. It makes my Mondays something to look forward to. Teacher is enthusiastic in lectures and seems to really care about the students.
Great class. Our teacher was very kind to us. I loved the stories he told. Very entertaining class. We had a pizza night too. This class was perfect for me. It fit my class load and the teacher made it very manageable. I would take this class again. I highly recommend it.
I would take another class with Mr. Varisco if I could. I will be finishing this semester at Cypress College and this has been a great college for me. I took the Management 240 class and all I can say is that it was possibly the best experience I had in class as a student. It was fun, always looked forward to class, and learned a lot. Recommended!!
This was my favorite class at Cypress. Always enjoyed going. Our classes were full each night. The professor always made us feel welcomed and was always considerate. I personally learned a lot, but most of the info was from the teacher's courtroom experience which was real cool. Lectures were funny and wish he was teaching other courses.
First impression is the kindness of the prof when he gave all his students supplies (erasers, pencils, files, scantrons). As a lawyer, his speech makes more sense than just simply reading a book. No books required but pay attention to real examples he discussed in class. Easy A, exams are done at home (WOW); not trying to trick or treat students
Loved this class. Teacher was awesome. Really enjoyed going to class. Teacher Mike was always attentive to any questions we had. I had a question after class and the teacher stayed and answered my question. He was very polite. The lectures were always informative because he has personal experience in life. I would definately take this course
Professor Varisco is the best professor you can take to learn about business legalities. His simple rule: show up to class. That is all. He even gives every student all the supplies they need for his class, including candy/ occasional food so that you stay awake and interested. Super funny and all around great educator. Easiest exams ever.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Go to class , take notes , and you'll pass
Great professor and I highly recommend taking his class.
There is a midterm and final which are both take home tests. He does not use the book and the questions are custom. Class would end early and he takes roll at the end of class. It was an easy class but for people who have to pay for the class, there should be more content.
The only con to taking this professor is that you will not know your grade until the end of the semester. Other than that, he is a great professor. He loves sharing his experience as a lawyer and makes the class that more interesting. He is kind and passionate about his career. I definitely recommend taking him.
