Professor Nikoo is very clear, and her class is fascinating. You learn about things that matter. Her class is useful for your life; you won't lost your time believe me. You need to participate and put effort. She is organized with the material. I strongly recommend her.
I have had the pleasure of taking Professor Berenji's class this semester and love every minute of it. It is a three hour long class, but does not feel like it. She gives real life examples and makes the class very understandable and interesting. She is definitely such a nice professor, but also expects you to get your work done. TAKE HER!!!!!!
BEST TEACHER AT VALLEY! She is very amazing !barely any hw ! Offers extra credit and group work is very very fun! If I had the chance I'd take her again !! DONT MISS OUT!! Take her she's awesome !!!
Professor Berenji is an engaging, inspired instructor. She has and shares her passion for her subject, and is patient to nearly a fault. I highly recommend her Business Law 001 course, and will investigate further courses to take from her myself.
If you need to take your Business Law class and this professor is available do yourself a favor and take her class, she is a great professor and her class is not hard at all just pay attention and take notes when she lectures. If i could i would take her class again.
Best professor for business law. She has lots of experience and is very nice. She really wants you to understand the material. Always there during ofice hours. Great teacher. take her!! :)
one of the best law professor i have taken, love her class , makes it law really easy to understand, give handouts and outlines, just do what she says and its really fun class, impressive personality. definitely suggest.
An incredible professor! I highly recommend taking her. She is so intelligent and this class was very interesting. Actual useful knowledge you can take with you outside of school. The class is a combination of lecture and hands on critical thinking. A refreshing teaching style, she actually writes on the white board, instead of just using PP.
Great professor! Her lectures are very interesting. You don't need the book. Just make sure you attend class and take notes. The notes & her outlines will save you.
Honestly I have been at Valley College for a year and have not met someone as nice as Professor Berenji. Her lectures are very interesting and she always makes sure students understand the notes. She is the reason I changed my major to Business. Would 100% recommend taking her class.
Amazing class! Great lectures, and fun in-class group projects. First class, she walks in pregnant. I was worried about how the class would go, but she stuck with us for a good 2/3 of the semester, and gave is a great substitute. Would definitely take a class with her again.
Professor Berenji is the best. She's very helpful and when lecturing, goes into full detail. She makes the course very easy and very understandable. She's always full of energy and ready to start class. She has a great sense of humor and I would highly recommend her law class. We had class discussions based on fictional cases as well. Very fun.
Professor Berenji is an amazing Professor. The class lectures were always interesting and when students participated that made it even better. Very light amount of homework and her tests are very fair. She gives an outline for each one and if you study and take good notes, you will pass.
Professor Berenji inspired me and sparked my interest to learn. She is an incredible teacher and such a respectable person. Although she left halfway through the semester to have a baby she still took care of us while away. Every single class with her was interesting and made me want to participate. Thanks for an amazing semester professor!
Man it's hard not to hang on her every word! She's absolutely brilliant! Tests are kind of hard but she will curve if everyone got lower scores! 110% recommend!!!!
Amazing class!!! The class wasn't requirement for me, i just took it to get knowledge in business law and that was really valuable choice. She was the best lecturer I have ever had. She gives the complicated information in a structured form and supports with examples so everybody can understand easily. Good case studies. Thanks professor!!!
Prof. Berenji is so sweet and makes the class fun by providing real life examples. She's there to help you whenever you need and give out study guides, and allows a cheat sheet!!! I wish I needed more law classes that were taught by her.
Professor is awesome she makes everything clear and easy to understand. Drops lowest test and really interacts with th students, shes awesome and is caring shes captivating and reviews test and even allows a cheat sheet. I highly recommend taking this class to gain inside knowledge on your rights. Shes awesome thanks professor!
Lets just say this teacher is so good I am thinking of changing my major to Law..... she's really made learning fun we are allowed cheat sheets on all the exams and even if we didn't have that I'm pretty confident I would still pass the class with at least a B.
Professor Berenji is an excellent teacher. Her lectures and fun and interesting. Go to class and do the homework and you should do well. She does curve when necessary and offers extra credit.
Great instructor! Clear & interesting lectures. Very approachable and accommodating. Very little homework, so the grade is mostly dependent on exams and there is quite a bit of reading. Very useful info for life and business. Only gripe I have is she sometimes lets people derail her lectures with dumb and/or off-topic questions for legal advice.
I dreaded this class until I took it. She is a wonderful professor and person. She has been patient and caring. give it all she has to make sure that her students have the answers of their questions. I would love to have her be the professor of all my classes, lol
Professor Berenji, provides amazing lectures and fully prepare students for each exam. Her lectures are geared to help students compute the legal system to real-life situation. She allows students to as question pertaining to the lecture and she ensure you understand the complex legal system. I would definitely take more law courses
I was unsure on what to expect dealing with a Business Law Class, but I'm glad I had the chance to experience and with Professor Berenji as my first instructor. She knows her information and if she doesn't know, she'll find out! I enjoy that she uses real life cases and examples to help solidify the information she is presenting - lots of reading!
My favorite kind of teacher, tests are based on lectures and terms. She gives you what you need to know, if you pay attention and participate you will do well on exams and projects. Her class isnt hard if you make the effort. I wish all my professors were like this.
Any university or school Professor Berenji teaches in is fortunate to have her. So show up to class, take notes and you'll be ready for exams. In case the class does not do well, she also curves exams and offers extra credit. She's one of the few lecturers who could talk, breathe and live law, that's how knowledgeable she is about the topic. A+++
She is really sweet and nice... Good lecture and answers all questions during lecture. Not too heavy homework. But still gotta do the HW to get credit. She gives you study guide before tests. Goes over homework together to answer questions. Outgoing and informative. Class was interesting to learn and enjoyed her class. Definitely recommend her!!!
Professor Berenji is Super wonderful, she is nice, caring, and very good at what she does. She teaches Law 1 which is business law and whats great about her is her real life experiences considering she was a business lawyer but left her job to teach business law. I highly recommend her! MUST TAKE... YOU WILL LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!
She made me enjoy college. I was so worried about this class but it has been my favorite course this semester. she explains it so well and is sooooooo passionate and caring with her students! I miss her so much I wish I could take every single one of my classes with her.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Very clear on what you will be tested on and the nicest lady ever!!! Go to class and pay attention and you will get an A.
She is amazing, if you are interested in Law take her!! Prof Berenji is amazing, she is clear on her grading, she is kind, very approachable, and overall the best. She is beautiful inside and out, she is willing to help if you are willing to learn.
Great class. Flexible to change syllabus depending on pace of class performance. Easy vocabulary homework and practice problems that are identical to exams. Read the books, the little details count. She really knows her stuff and is passionate about the field. Lectures are full of information but goes over information, allows cheat sheets on exams.
She is amazing! For all tests, she allows a paper for a cheat sheet and one project based on a movie (not too bad). Her lectures are amazing.. she made me want to study law. Take her, you wont regret it.
Professor Berenji is great! She cares about her students and answers any questions you have. She takes her time on explaining subjects and uses her real life experiences as well. Take all of her classes, I highly recommend her!! (:
If you come to class and do your homework, you WILL get a good grade I learned so much in this class about business law as well as logical legal rules that I can and do use every day Teacher was amazing and actually cared about students understanding the material Homework is a must in keeping up The lectures are interactive and fun Great Class
Professor Berenji is by far one of the best instructors Ive ever taken. She is so clear in her lectures and makes sure everyone is understanding the material. Would definitely take her class again.
I wanted to wait after my last semester at Valley to make sure of this: she's the best teacher in this campus. She engages the students with her lectures and makes sense of what the book tries to explain. This class I would recommend people to take, so much common sense!
If you do everything that is asked from you and you value her feedback you will pass easily. The lectures are great and extremely interesting regarding real life examples. Would 100% recommend taking a class with her.
She is excellent at making law relevant to each person's life, interesting, and clearly explained. I really enjoyed her lectures. The class is so great with her teaching it that it is a priceless asset. The class had me consider being an Attorney at Law.
I learned so much from this professor. She was simply amazing. There were never any right or wrong questions, she was there to answer ALL QUESTIONS even some of the lamest that the students would come up with. Nikoo inspired me to my best potential!! Loved her!!!!
Professor Berenji is a real gem at Valley College. Not only is she the Law professor, but she has her own firm and had been in practice years before she went into teaching. Her real-world knowledge is not only insightful, but useful as well. If you want a smart, insightful, attractive, and overall great professor, take her class!
She is truly an amazing professor who is very patient, helpful, and really wants all of her students to be successful! She has an excellent teaching skill and is very humorous and courteous. Please take her class you will be happy you did!!!
Great professor. She does talk a lot and very fast. So pay close attention. Didnt use text book. Lets you use a cheat sheet for every quiz or exam.
She was a great professor with interesting lectures but her tests were extremely difficult. I attended every class and ended up getting a D in her class which has been my lowest grade so far at LAVC. I honestly dont know how people say she's easy. The only good thing about her class was that her lectures were never boring.
Great teacher! I loved her class!!
An amazing teacher! She conveys information in such a simple way which makes it easy to understand complex things. Might have been my favorite class and teacher throughout my entire college career, and yet it had nothing to do with my major. I learned so much each lecture - thatll help me in everyday life.
I truly enjoyed Mrs. Berenji business law class, because she is so driven and passionate about her job/subject. She is willing to help you with any questions you may have without a problem. furthermore, her exams are based off her lectures & ?'s are asked in scenarios. I highly recommend her as a teacher, one of the most amazing teachers I've had.
This is the most inspiring and the best teacher i've ever had, i never knew i would be interested in law but after this class i'm so interested in learning more, you're going to learn a ton! She is so inspiring and cares more about her students understanding everything rather than speeding through the book to cover everything.
Law 1 with Professor Berenji was the best class I've taken since starting college at LAVC. She makes the lectures very engaging, informative and fun. The classwork is very doable and the exams are quite easy (and you're allowed to use a study guide). I absolutely loved and enjoyed her class and if she taught Law 2, I'd for sure take it with her!
Berenji's law class is absolutely great. She's easily one of the best professors at LAVC. She's clear with what she wants from her students and is always available to help students further understand the material. She has 3 exams which allow cheat sheets, a few 5 Q quizzes online, and some in-class discussions. I highly recommend taking this class.
Professor Berenji is an incredible professor. Her lectures are never boring- she's extremely passionate and wants students to learn. If you participate, get your quizzes and assignments done, you're going to do well. Prof. Berenji makes learning interesting and entertaining. Definitely take this class!
She's excellent & is passionate about law. There's several group assignments where the class is broken in half to represent each side in court. HW is easy & allows cheat sheets for tests. Her notes can be a little disorganized, but her PowerPoints help clarify content. She's willing to answer questions anytime & encourages it.
One of the best professors I've ever had.
Professor Berenji is one of the few professors at LAVC that cares about students, and it shows. Her lectures are inspirational, she focuses on current events and uses them as an example so she can keep the class engaged. Participate, pay attention, do the activities and do the cheat sheets she recommends for quizes and you have yourself an easy A.
Prof. Berenji was an absolute joy to have as a teacher this semester. She is brilliant, kind, caring, and immensely passionate. I was initially intimidated for this class, but she made all the students comfortable and provided wonderful guidance and lectures. I highly recommend, as the lessons learned from this course will stay with you for life!
Professor Berenji is an absolute gem. The class itself is heavy on terminology and reading. This was her first time teaching online but she made it as accessible and useful. She goes exactly by the syllabus, explains what will be on her exams, makes office hours available whenever you need. She is very organized and caring. Take her!
An amazing professional, this course was one of the most fabulous classes. The teacher has very strong discipline, and organizational skills, due to her teaching abilities I did not receive only a grade but for life knowledge in how to defend my rights.
Professor Berenji is one of the best professors Ive ever had. She truly cares about her students and their success. She was always so open to help with anything. I learned so much in her class. The class lectures on zoom were thorough and organized! I highly recommend taking any class with Professor Berenji!!
I took this course during COVID so under the extenuating circumstances of everything being remote, Professor Berenji was really caring and the discussions / assignments were fairly easy with some effort and reading. She was extremely responsive and helpful no matter the time or topic. I would take any course she teaches and I enjoyed my time.
I really enjoyed this course and Professor Berenji. She is a proven expert in her area of the law. She is passionate about helping people and will provide honest feedback, without sugarcoating. I highly recommend EVERYONE take this course because it teaches you essential knowledge about the law. I'm grateful for the group work she assigned
I took this course during COVID . Professor Berenji did her best to organize the class well. She is a really caring and helpful instructor full of energy and readiness to help the student. The discussions and group assigments require some reading and work but it makes class very productive.
Covers the fundamental of beginning law to the business ethics of the contracts. Very well knowledgeable professor, caring & understanding in helping you in as much that you need for you to pass class. Do not tend to slack off as it will be very difficult for you to catch up, you must keep up with all your reading assignments to pass & do all work.
Regularly late for class and runs over on class time. Very nice and knowledgeable professor, but she pushed for group discussion assignments which were difficult to align schedules to answer a few questions together. She forgets to record the lectures so students have to remind her. Stay on top of assignments and discussions for that A.
Absolutely would take any class with Professor Berenji. Shes knowledgeable, makes things easy to learn by using real life examples, group assignments were difficult to complete due to Covid but overall it was doable. Professor got better as class went on and she adapted to online teaching. Do not miss the lectures if you want to pass
She is a very great teacher. However, she is heavy on group projects, and not meant for online learning. I would not recommend her if you have a crazy schedule. She'll post an assignment randomly on a Tuesday and have it locked and due the following Thursday. You have to check twice a day for possible test/quizzes/assignments that may appear.
She has one of the worst online classes ever. Her assigned reading has nothing to do with the quizes, no lectures, and she assigns group work which is a pain to cordinate in a fully online class. She is friendly and knowledgeable but she's all over the place. Wait until school is back in person or take a different professor.
I took Professor Berenji online and she is really great about giving good feedback and responding to questions. I would not say she is the easiest professor but she does try to keep the class involved. I would definitely take her for more classes. Thank you.
My friend recommended I take her for Law. LAVC isn't my home school, but I took his advice. I am so happy I did. I really enjoyed her style of teaching and I appreciate the feedback and responses to our assignments. Some teachers you never hear from, but she was always posting and sending us stuff. If you need a law class, definitely take her class
I enjoyed her lectures, and she is excellent at teaching you to think about the details in constructing claims. The textbook is needed and helpful. You will go over cases in detail. She is an encouraging professor, her enthusiasm as a lawyer and a professor shows. I felt motivated, excited and encouraged to learn. Interesting class discussions.
I am amazed at how much I did not know about the many different areas of Business Law. Professor Berenji goes out of her way to respond and provides great feedback. I really appreciate her as an instructor and as a lawyer. She really knows her stuff. I cant wait to take more classes with her. Thank you for a great semester.
Professor Berenji is what every student dreams their Professor would be like... Straightforward, creative, caring. Some of her work is via groups, which is great experience if you are learning remotely. Law can be difficult to decipher, but she breaks everything down in her PowerPoints so clearly. You just need to participate, and you will get an A
Great teacher! Very straightforward and clear. Great online class for working or busy students that want an easy to navigate class.
I love Professor Berenji and the way she is teaching. She is very caring, hilarious and respected teacher, and I would definitely retake her. There are some group assignments which are very interesting and, for me, they were easy. Just work with your group, submit all the assignments, do well on the exams, and you'll get an A. Extra Credit opp.
Professor gives quizzes that test your retention of key concepts from the textbook. Discussions are great applications of the material, group work is well-organized and in my case was rather pleasant, and the professor's explanations post-discussion are very informative. She's very flexible and reasonable if there are any conflicts, encouraging OH.
Very helpful, willing to take her time to make sure you understand the material.
Great course. Definitely made me more informed about our laws and now Im much more confident in identifying them. She will not let laziness slide so put in a little extra effort.
Suuuuuper helpful explaining material, the course was very organized, and she clearly explains what is expected of you. I definitely would take any course with her again!
Professor Berenji is a real gem at LAVC. Her class is deeply and passionately informative, she expects the best and gives the best on her end. Missing lectures is usually pretty bad but the readings can keep you on track with the class, overall I'd take the class again and with the whole covid debacle she handled everything professionally.
I actually genuinely enjoyed her. She was very upfront about law being a difficult topic to learn, but was quite supportive and was open to students' opinions. I thought this class was going to be harder than it was. That being said there is quite a bit of reading, however, if you stay on top of it, it is an easy grade.
She was one of the best professors I have ever had; and made learning very enjoyable. I would take this class again if I could. Don't scroll pass it, you will regret it.
Excellent Professor. Her class and enthusiasm for the material made me genuinely excited to take to class. It helped me find what I truly want to do with my career and where I want to go in the next few years. Her passion comes through in her teaching and seems to be a part of what makes her an effective professor.
Look she is a nice professor and all but her class is challenging she gives you quizzes that are easy but none of that is on the midterm or final. Her assignments are discussions and quizzes. She says that the book is required don't buy it you don't even use the book I wish someone told me earlier. Not an easy class this subject made me hate law.
Professor Berenji's Business Law 1 course exceeded all expectations. Her ability to simplify complex legal concepts, foster engagement, and genuine passion made her the best professor I've encountered. I am grateful for the knowledge and skill gained and highly recommend her course to students seeking a comprehensive understanding of business law.
Truly one of the best teachers I've ever had. She genuinely cares about your learning and will go to great lengths in order to untangle any misunderstandings. Consistent workload due same day every week, which is very helpful for keeping organized. Also offers application problems for learning without being graded, goes to show how much she cares!!
She is one of the few professors who cares about her students; the workload is just a perfect amount. She gives extra credit opportunities at the end of the course for those who didn't do so well on the final. there are 2 exams. 1 midterm and 1 final both worth 200 points and over 60+ questions.
I took the online course so there were minimal lectures but a good amount of work to do. She grades extremely fair and is the kindest but still serious when it comes to doing the work and reading. Tbh, this course almost made me want to change my major. Professor Berenji is also easy to talk to and understanding which for me matters most.
Her class is pretty easy if you keep up /w the weekly readings because that's what you're tested on and you can use the textbook. However, too many times the questions contain errors, improper wording or are simply misleading. They weren't made /w precision and everything needs to be proofread. Online classes should be more efficient than this.
She was amazing. I took this class during the Spring semester, but it was a short course. Every week, she gave us two quizzes and one discussion. You just need to do the reading, and you'll get an A in this class.
