He's an easy grader cuz there's only 3 problems on the midterm, which he grades leniently as long as your explanations are clear and sufficient to prove your answer. However, he tends to go over the problems in class a little fast but he goes over it more as long as you ask him to. Just study!

He is one of the best law professors at Baruch. Law professors are usually very picky and tough graders. Professor Reed gives you good points for trying. Never paid attention in class, just read sometimes on my own and did really good. He's very understanding and his work is light compared to other professors. Take him !

Hes a very solid professor. Law seemed like an intimidating subject, but he teaches it well. He tries to be funny during his lectures sometimes. He is monotone and his lectures are boring at times, but he gets the job done. His pp slides cover everything on his tests, so if you review them a bit it shouldnt be hard. Lenient grader as well.

Reed is a really nice and honest guy. Although the class wasn't mind blowingly interesting (and can be a bit boring at times) it was certainly well paced and he explained every aspect of his lectures very clearly. Super straightforward and easy to grasp the content if you show up and pay attention. He is incredibly knowledgable and approachable.

His lectures make you want to sleep, and he just reads off the PowerPoint. It is an easy A as long as you actually read the PowerPoint and do the homework. Exams are just like the in-class examples and homework. Not much actual work. DO NOT BUY THE MINDTAP. YOU WILL NOT USE IT ONCE. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! The powerpoints have everything.

He is a great professor and extremely straightforward. He will tell you to buy a textbook, but for the most part, everything you need to do well is in the slides. His slides are extremely helpful; if you show up and pay attention you will do great. He also goes through many examples in class. There is not a heavy course load.

While lectures may feel very long and tedious since he only uses PowerPoint, he is very knowledgeable and capable. Solid teacher overall. Super straightforward class with clear instructions. Everything you need is in the slides he provides. He does not try to trick you at all.

This class is for those who actually want to put the work into actually learning about law. If you actually put the work into this class, you'll do perfectly fine and learn a lot. Reed makes things very straight forward and not more difficult than it needs to be.

He's one professor who grades harshly but means well for anyone who he's teaching. If you really wanna learn how a lawyer should act, take this guy because he's realistic with how it is. He's very caring and allows for extensions if you ask, as well as letting you submit it early with feedback so you could resubmit it later. Amazing professor.

He's a really tough grader for no reason whatsoever, these reviews seem to be written by him, beware of taking this professor all he does is show up take attendance, and read off the slides. His grading makes no sense and there is no clear rubric. He is a tough professor who doesn't make it clear what he wants. Take another professor.

Not a lot of homeworks but when it is given , it is pretty simple. Grades are majority based on testing and 2 papers and homeworks. Attendance is 5% my advice is do good on the tests. He is a really nice professor and is very understanding. Gave couple extensions. Would most definitely take him again.

Teaches in a way that will directly translate to exams. The lectures are a bit boring but help you learn the material. A lot of time is given to work on few assignments, giving you time to work on them closely. Exams are essay format and not curved but partial credit is given. You will need to practice answering questions in the format he teaches.

Reed tends to just read off the slide and uses slide information on practice questions. Homework's are easy and online just pay attention to the homework's because they relate to midterm. One writing assignment which is the same as the final but counts a lot so do good. Overall, very good professor, just pay attention and you will do good.

He is a very light grader; as long as you can provide reasoning with your answers on the midterm and final, you will get at least some credit. As long as you pay attention and put in the effort, you will do well in his class. He also cares about the class and will explain as needed.
