Great teacher, good sense of humor, take this class
Easy class but his notes and lectures are a bit spacey and jumbled, tests are ea
BEST BUS TEACHER !!! just pay attention on his lecture
Easiest Class ever taken as Grossmont. No HW at ALL. Friendly Guy, laid back
Awesome guy! Great lecturer, easy tester, term paper is only 25 pts
Great, entertaining instructor. Learned a lot in his class. Easy!
great guy, even though tests were easy, you learn a lot
Easy class, interesting, good examples. Lots of breaks
Cool and interesting teacher, with alot of breaks. Somewhat unorganized teaching style, but tests are simple (sometimes common sense). You learn alot about real life situations and he has plenty of his own experiences as an attorney.
This class is so interesting, and I love this teacher~! He is so funny, and I really like the way he teachs!^^
easiest teacher/class at grossmont. tests are easy. breaks every class period. take nots and you will pass with an a. noneed to buy the book.
Very nice guy...show up and pay attention and you can easily get an A.
Very interesting and informative course. If you come to class, pay attention and take good notes you can achieve a 4.0 in his class. He gives enough breaks during class. He also knows the material he teaches well. I enjoyed his class.
don't buy the book...notes should be enough to get an A....just keep up with him...he's a bit confusing when it comes to notes....
A FUN CLASS. I LOVE HIS TEACHING STYLE. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THERE WERE MORE TEACHERS LIKE HIM.
I love this guy. I didn't even buy the book and Aced his class and tests. He gives you all the notes needed to pass the class, love his style and he's very intertaining.. TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WILL PASS!!! But he is unorganized...
I think he is unique! His way of teaching is really helpful, and his sense of humor help students to relax. Also, he gives a lot of possibilities to get an "A". I LOVE HIM, he is the smartest and the most intelligent teacher I've ever seen at Gr
he is hip.
the only one funnier in class was me!
He passes out notes on the material you need to know. Plenty of opportunity for extra credit. He makes up GREAT examples and stories so you can understand main points (sometimes a bit graphic). Great sense of humor and teaching style.
the guy is HOT!!! hehehe....and a really great teacher! EASY doesn't even begin to describe his class! I bougth the book and hardly ever read it, and yet still got an A! Take him!
Awesome class in terms of "things you should know in life." Phil is a great lecturer, keeps you interested, and has lots of great/appropriate stories to tell.
Great professor! Makes things easy to understand. I recommend taking this class with a friend and splitting the cost of the book. You will rarely need it and the book is $$$. I took this as a summer class, and it was awesome. Phil is a lot of fun.
Very helpful, Very easy to understand, he is the best teacher ever!!
Very good teacher. Funny, smart, & helpful. Some essays but mostly lectures & tests. Tests are average in difficulty but if you study his notes for an hour or 2 it's easy. Grades pretty easy on the essays as well. Was an enjoyable class!
great teacher !! you don't need the text book. just take his note and read. that's all you need for the tests. his lecture is interesting. I like him !!
He is hilarious!!! Goog teacher. Not that hard if you pay attention in the lectures. NO HOMEWORK!!!!!
Take this guy! If you get a bad grade, drop out of school and join the military! He is by far the best BUS LAW prof at Grossmont
This man clearly loves his job! He's funny and fair. Do not take anyone else or you'll regret it!!!!
very amusing teacher, stays on subject, keeps the class awake,
Very cool guy! Everyone told me that business law was a difficult class but he makes it fun and easy to learn. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs to take BUS LAW. You have a whole bunch of quizzes, 3-4 tests (that are very short), and a term paper. Just show up to class and read his leacture notes and you will get an A
Great Teacher. All Test M/C with Extra Credit. Gives perfect notes that are verbatim to lectures. Easy and small paper due at end of semester.
Phil is the man! Very intresting class. He has a lot of knowledge. Time flys by and it is a lot of fun. Don't really need the book but if you want to get the extra points on tests you have to get it! Take him, you will enjoy it
Phil is very organized teacher. Save some money and don't buy the book, because he hands out lecture notes that have all the information you will need. He is also very flexible when it comes to making quizzes and exams.
This class was overall easy yet, I was learning alot at the same time. He passes out hand-outs every chapter, which are straight from the notes and class lectures. You don't need the book and all you need to do is study his handouts to pass his tests. I highly reccomend!
Very informative instructor. Gives information clearly and concise. Great class to take. I recommend it for anyone who needs it or is just interested in law.
his class was boring at times but really easy and I actually learned a lot. I got an "A" but it is super easy. He is a good teacher.
Excellent teacher gives you the info you need and tests are easy. No homework and easy term paper.
Mr. Orr is a great teacher. You can relate to what he is saying because he uses real life examples. Loves nose candy, Britney Spears and the 80's a tad too much, but he a fun guy. Tests are easy as well as the term paper. Gives you the notes you need for the test so you don't need the book. TAKE HIM. Great guy.
He is great!
Easy tests, read the notes and case law in the book. He likes to tell jokes that are kinda funny, but it makes class go quick. He gives you a 10 min. break during a normal 1:15 class.
oopps he gets all happy faces below, I clicked the wrong buttons. He is a good teacher, take this class.
He is a great teacher and he gives you all the notes for his tests and quizzes. Take his class because you even a get a break and the class is only an hour and 15 min. There is only one term paper due and we could choose from three different things, and we had over a month to do it.
very nice guy, class is not super hard, very few students dropped, gives you notes on all the chapters, recommend to all business students
I took this class because i was interested in the subject Great teacher, because he was so good with this lectures, minimal homework (Almost none), if i wasn't so busy with work i could of passed it with a A i never used my book once. Very nice guy, would highley suggest him.
Interesting teaching approach.
Super cool guy! Fun lecturer, always has a great story to relate to every topic. Used to be an attorney and speaks with the clarity and enunciation of a great trial lawyer. Funny guy too! Easy class with no homework! Just a quizz/test every other week. Why take some other stuck-up law teacher when you can take Phil Orr? For Biz Law, TAKE NO OTHER!
The best! Super easy class. Just come to class take notes and make sure to get the handouts and study guieds provided for final exam. he does the work for you. The final assignment is super easy too! i though law was going to be a challenge but Orr knows we are all new and goes over the basics, good to know stuff! take no other!!!!!
WOW! I have never met a teacher who actually doesn't give any homework. He gives handouts that are just enough to help you with the quizzes and tests. You don't need to buy the book, just come to class everyday, write down everything he puts on the board and study. The quizzes and tests are super easy. You can't go wrong with Mr. ORR! He's the best
Outstanding professor! Incredibly smart, articulate, talented. I highly recommend him, he really knows his stuff, and does a great job teaching.
Just A+++++++, Mr.Orr!I took his class long time ago, in 2004, but I still remember him and the things he taught me.He is ery charming and charismatic too.
Mr. Orr is an excellent teacher, and he is cute too. His class is always interesting and entertaining.
Phil's class is very dry and boring. He himself is funny and does crazy stuff sometimes, but his class is TOO repetitve. I found myself constantly doing other things because it was almost impossible to pay attention. The final is horrible as well. If you want an instructor that actually teaches you something, my advice is to not take Orr's class.
Excellent guy, he is hilarious and always has tons of examples to make everything understandable. I never used the textbook and there is one paper due at the end of class that is super easy. All of the quizzes and tests are straight from lecture notes that he writes, prints up, and gives as hand outs. I would definitely recommend this class.
Phil Orr knows business Law. If you attend class regularly and take notes you will pass with ease unless you rode to school on the short bus!
he teaches and u just basically follow notes that was already made for you. attend class and do the final paper and you'll easily get an A.
great teacher - keep your focus. Makes the class fun and entertaining.
Professor Orr is the man! Take this teacher for Bus Law.. you will love it. He gives you the notes which you study for the tests. Every test is multiple choice with ec.
great teacher and funny guy. the subject is little dry but he intertwines examples into his lectures so everything is easier to understand. great sense of humor! tests and quizzes are a piece of cake if you pay attention and take notes!!
Great Teacher, explains everything very clearly with funny examples and stories. Quizzes and tests are simple just pay attention and read the notes. One term paper that is pretty simple. An easy, fun A. Highly recomend.
hi evry one i i took business 125 on the summer with Mr. orr. he is a greet prfessor, very helpful. he jocks during his teaching. especialy if you are a second launguage take this class. you wil not be sorry if you take the class if you attend your class every time. good luck hury up to add this class.
Prof Orr is the BEST! This class is designed for you to learn the information and be able to retain it. He is extremely smart and helpful. The class consists of weekly quizes or exams, a term paper and a final. He designs the class for you to do well, if you dont get a B, you dont belong in college. I got an A!. Best Teacher ever, thanks Mr. Orr!!!
Phil makes Bus. law as simple to understand as learning colors of the rainbow. He gives out notes on the chapters, which he goes over in class. I never once used the book. And b/c the notes and lectures are so simple: A's on all quizes and tests and the term paper. Hes super nice too. As said, if you don't get @least a B, you shouldnt be in school
Excellent Instructor! Very helpful even after class. The way he explains these boring topics is exciting and fun!
I highly recommend taking his class, he is funny and cares about you learning the material. I decided to save money and skip on the book, and still got an A. Just pay attention- he makes it fun so you remember. Loved the stories & scenerios he came up with, definately one of a kind haha
This professor i really enjoyed his class he was very clear on when assignments are due. He was very helpful and informative he was very funny loved going to class and hearing the stories/ Exampled will take him again in fall if he is teaching a class i need definitely recommend him to anyone.
Phil takes pride in boiling down a complicate legal issue into something. Easy to understand. He only used the textbook for extra credit on teats. Even then you can make an educated guess and get most of them right.
best teacher
Easy A even though I didn't study. Just attended class. Hope all college courses are this easy!
AWESOME TEACHER! If you ever need to take this class, take it from him. He gives super detailed notes, and he keeps the lectures interesting! No need to buy the textbook, his notes and coming to class is enough. Easy class!
Amazing professor! Very helpful!
Amazing professor! so helpful!
This class was great, the teacher had a great sense of humor, always looking forward to his lectures, doesn't take row till end of class, only one big project and couple of tests and quizzes, very strict about cellphone on test days. Great teacher, never ever need or use the book, he gives you the notes and powerpoint slides,don't spend 200 on book
Great class very well explained by the professor. They class is very easy if you show up to the class and take notes every day. You dont need to buy a book because he makes his own notes and post them on blackboard for us to read. The class is not boring because he keeps up with stories and real life examples. I truly recommend this class.
If Orr could teach every law class, I would pursue my law degree. His lectures make learning law so easy. Also, if you don't like homework, he is the professor for you. Zero homework, just one term paper that is pretty easy. However, I could see how this class could be hard because he has a low amount of possible points, almost all from tests
He's hilarious and keeps lectures entertaining. No text book necessary! Just show up and take the notes. Exams are super easy. There is a term paper though. I honestly turned in a half-badly written paper and still got an A! Super easy grader. I only got a B because I missed one exam.
I loved his BUS 125 class. No need to buy expensive textbook, his lecture will cover everything you need to know for the test. He is hilarious, he love using his own life experience in the lecture, which made it so fun and easy to understand
Amazing professor! He gave extra credit on every test and basically told you what was going to be on the next test. His class mentioned book required; however, you only used the book if his lecture confused you, which it never did. Very clear and straight forward. Seriously, best professor ever!
Great professor! he is very funny. I'm an international student. The class materials are difficult, but he made it easy to understand. He also give lots of extra credit on the tests.
Hi everyone,just I want to give my evaluation of professor Phillip Orr, he's an amazing teacher, funny, serious in teaching, not require to buy a textbook, just you need to study his notes which he downs on the blackboard; in addition, notes that he writes on a black-white, and attention to his words. He has 4 tests and final, it's so easy.
Every thing you need to know for quizzes and exams are in his lectures. He posts his notes on blackboard so if you miss class the material is there for you to read. Very passionate and an amazing teacher!
Phil is hilarious. Tests are based on notes that he provides you. I honestly have studied 3-4 hours before, and have gotten good grades in the class. He also has a paper that he requires (although he grades easy on papers).
Easy class and you do not even need to buy a textbook. Just study the notes he posts on Canvas and you'll get a good grade (usually around 10 pages I think). I don't think he cares about attendance either.
Does not prepare for class comes in and starts drawing on the board. Narcissistic
go to the class , read his note , study the note before the exam and you will get A always give extra credit in the exams , his written exams are very very very easy usually he give full credit on those . i took the class with an other professor and i got F but with him i jumped to A+ I HOPE i could take other classes with him
Just change the name of the class to Liberal Indoctrination. Super easy class you might as well not even go.
He is an old school teacher that really gives a good lecture. He gives you notes on your canvas. Just study them and you'll get a good grade.
He was disrespectful towards the students.
Professor Orr is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. He is very fair with grading. I received an A in the class, which is easy to do as long as you keep up with the lectures and do the quizzes and the couple of assignments he requires. He is a great teacher, and I would definitely recommend his class!
Awesome class and very informative!
Professor Orr has taught this class for decades and it shows in the best ways. Curriculum is very straightforward and taught in simple language (which I really appreciate). While this is a lecture heavy class, lectures are only just over an hour long, so you won't get too bored. Great teacher, approachable, and passionate about what he's teaching.
Most amazing professor ever! Easy to understand and lots of fun! He made the lectures entertaining and interactive!
This professor makes hard concepts much more easier to understand. His passion for his field of work and vivacious spirit is reflected in his lectures. It is only fair that you owe your time and effort as well to succeed. One of the best professors!
Professor makes dry topics engaging. Lectures are worth attending - he breaks down concepts well. Use unstuck AI along with the class notes for great results.
I loved Prof Phillip Orr as a professor. I'm writing my review a couple semesters late, but I felt inclined to speak highly of him for the upcoming classes. If you are interested in this subject, Prof Orr is your guy. He is awesome and he will help you and answer your questions related to the course materials. I'll never forget him or his class!!
