This prof is really easy just write down everything he says and you dont even need to look in the textbook during the test. Midterm and a final both open book and open notes how easy can it get?
Loud and knowledgeable...intelligent in his field...history/law...pay attention and speak with confidence...be prepared to defend your answers.
awesome teacher
AMAZING professor. Very knowledgeable. Very kind and nice to talk to.
loud but clear! says a lot of funny old jokes! take this professor, he is soooo considerate
Good professor, very helpful and funny too. You have to know how to explain your answers, and he likes to have class conversation. Be prepared.
If you want an easy grade take his class. I had him for both Law and Society and the art of arguement. I think you only have four essays to do, but they are really short essays. All you have to do is come to class and listen. There are no tests whatsoever.
Open book test
He is very biased politically and boy does it show. He should tone down left-wing rhetoric because other than that he's a great professor. I did not want to argue with him because its a business class not CNN/FOX. Unfortunately he wont be back at Berkeley, which is a shame. Tests are open notes/book but you have to attend and take notes to pass!
One of the best professors at Berkeley College. I still remember everything he taught, he uses everyday examples which sticks to your mind forever. Berkeley will miss him!
Professor Levenson is loud and clear, gives good examples that are easy to understand, and repeat, rephrase or explain further if you ask him to. TAKE NOTES, and you'll do fine, and you won't even need the book. Tests are open book and notes. BONUS: He has a great personality, and loves to talk.
If I would have to choose somebody to be stranded on a deserted island with, I would choose Professor Levenson, since it would take years before he would run out of things to talk about (and I would become very knowledgeable). Loved the class, excellent professor.
Prof Leavenson is very passionate about teaching. He wants to pass on as much knowledge as he can. He is funny and sarcastic, but knows more than any Prof I ever taken at Berkeley. His exams are open book/open notes, but they are not easy. I would definitely recommend him and this class. Be prepared for HEAVY note taking!
For the Law & Society class : he gives a grace period for lateness. No text book needed. Mostly reading on your own but he explains it clearly in class. Doesn't like to fail people. No quizzes or tests, only essays and a final open book essay. He loves to teach and is really energized in the morning.
Professor Levenson is very good at what he does. He is the smartest professor I had so far. He is very precise when it comes to explaining the work;he gives examples and stories to ensure his students have a full understanding.
Have to have be in class to take the notes. Can use BOOK and NOTES on exams!
Prof. Levenson was awesome! His method of teaching is thorough and clear for anyone to understand. Class mainly functions on the notes we take so be prepared o write A LOT! He's generous enough to allow us to use our notes so pay attention! The grade you get is the grade you deserve, so take good notes, don't miss class & you'll survive!
Truly the best professor I've ever had. He engages the class with examples and stories that help you understand the material. Everything from the test is gone over in class, there's really no excuse to fail. Really great guy too.
Great professor! he thinks he is funny, he is not that funny, but he is a cool guy. He knows what he teaches and focuses on real life examples.
He is a great professor. He really knows his stuff. Gives great examples and gives you information that you will need later on in life. If you have the opportunity to take him, do it!
Good Professor, He really cares about all his students & tries hard to keep anyone from failing He does love to talk a lot but still teaches well & gives good material
Levenson is one of my favorite professors. It's fairly easy to get a good grade if you take notes and pay attention to his lectures. He is fair, very knowledgeable about this subject and likes teaching it, which makes it interesting. Sidetracks a little too much with history lessons that have little to do with what you are talking about.
Not much to add that haven't already been said, except, I actually appreciated most of the history lessons and segways.
A great Professor. He is helpful and fair. He wants everyone to pass his class, and if you do not, it is your own fault. It's heavy note taking, but as long as you do it, you will not have a problem with getting an A. He is great!
Very interesting teacher and helpful! His lecture has a lot of information but really exciting, especially when he talks about a little history.
An interesting professor that a lways has something to say, professor Levenson keeps your interest through funny side stories while hitting the real topic as well. The extra history pieces are a bonus. Since we studied. Art of the Argument, I would like to say the I can successfully analyze something and come up with a good argument based on logic.
When I started this class I really thought it was going to be easy since I love to argue with people. I quickly learned it was more then I bargained for. His class was hard but very interesting and extremely fun. I don't think I have ever been challenged like the way he made us think outside the box. I really hope to have him again as my professor.
Good teacher. He is also a fair grader. Will prepare you enough to do his essays to get a good grade.
great experience with him. great command on the subject and very talented and impressive.
You Will Learn a lot - Really. I learned a ton about some very important historical cases. I got to see carefully how each party delivered their arguments and came to understand the basis on which the Supreme Court made its decision
He made the classes fun and interesting, I learned a lot. He is personal and wanted his students to learn. He is helpful and supportive. I am definitely taking another course where he is the professor.
Professor Levenson is very easy to understand and makes you feel comfortable about asking questions even when you think your question is dumb. He has good communication with student mostly involves good/bad jokes. I'd take his class again if i had a chance because he is clear, fun and very fair.
Jokes were a little much but he knows his stuff
Do the reading, be prepared for discussion because participation counts. Do the assignments which as long as you attend class and take notes are pretty easy to do. If you need help, ask for it. He will do anything to help you. You can decide to miss class but it is your lost. In every lecture there is something helpful for your assignments.
He has a way of delivering a lecture that feels like you can see it all visually. There was so much detail and I can honestly say the entire class looked interested. He's very understanding and you can go to him with any issues regarding the class. He gives the best feedback and only gives you the grade you earned.
Professor Levenson is one of the best professors I have ever had! His lectures are inspirational and funny, and you learn very much in each class. You should attend every single class and write down everything he says, and you will be well prepared for the tests. You do not really need the book if you are paying attention during the lectures.
Great professor who knows his stuff! Tells entertaining stories and give good examples that help you remember things. Don't mind the book, just listen and take notes instead, he lets you know what is important!
Keeps lectures interesting and fun, and very clear on what's expected to get a good grade.
Professor Levenson makes class very interesting while making sure everything is done and understandable. His lectures are great, and knowledge of history even greater. This course allowed me to improve as a writer and overall thinker. Professor levenson is a remarkable professor and I'm looking forward to taking more courses with him.
Professor Levenson is funny and has a great grasp of the material he teaches. The lectures are key to understanding everything, and he is really straight-forward. Classes run full length but seem shorter with his jokes. Textbook is really secondary to the class material. He also has great respect for students and is very accessible for questions.
The law subject can be a little dry. However, with the professor lectures, it is easy to bear through the class. He will take walk you through the subject with clarity and assertive. However, if you do not take organize notes, and you miss class the effort you will encounter to pass the class will be higher, Therefore, go to class, take notes.
He made each lecture unique and interesting to the fullest. I especially enjoyed the historical context that was infused in the curriculum, which gave his lectures an added layer. I definitely would recommend taking his classes if you get the chance to. You will learn beyond what is on the course description, which will enhance your experience.
Great professor, very engaging. Very interesting lectures and lots of things to learn!
Lovely guy! Jokes are occasionally cheesy but hilarious. Lectures are super long. Better have a good attention span. Loved learning about business law. Everyone should know the basics!
I am an international student from South Korea. First, I had difficulties understanding lectures in English; however, I pursued to study harder and listen carefully during lectures. I would recommend this class to anybody who favors LAW, BUSINESS AND POLITICS. *ATTEND ALL CLASS* write perfect note? then you will get an A+
He is very interesting professor, and want to teach his student with dedication. He knows what he is talking about. Even though, I am not fluent in English and lack in understanding the materials, professor gave me good feedback and information so that I can study better to understand the materials.
I just want to say that this professor is a terrific at his job, he has a tremendously big experience and knowledge, i'm satisfied with his lectures, if you ever had a chance to take his course, you should definitely take it.
One of the best if not the best I have had in berkeley college. Great feed back loves the art of teaching, great insight in to history, and lots of knowledge to give. Most definitely would take another class with.
It was a great pleasure taking Prof Levenson's class. A subject that can be found easily intimidating if not a criminal justice was taught with clarity. Prof Levenson knows how to keep the class engaged. His knowledge of the field mixed with a witty sense of humor made the course fun. This is def a Professor at BC who cares for his student.
Professor Levenson is the best instructor that I had at Berkeley. He is an exceptionally charismatic and knowledgeable teacher. This class not only informed me of the many aspects of the business law but also of valuable life lessons. Much respect for him and he makes learning intriguing. His jokes are hilarious. He's "awesome", take his class!!!!!
My best professor so far. Levenson teaches in a fun way that makes you remember small details. He loves his jokes as much as he loves his history. (He is hilarious!!) If you pay attention in class, and take good notes, it 's fairly easy to get a good grade.
Professor Levenson is brilliant! He is very helpful with his students and he is willing to repeat if something wasn't understood in class. His history lectures, during class, are amazing too, you learn a lot with himall the time. The tests are not easy but if you study, read the book and take your notes, all will be fine. Never skip class!
Really professional! He loves teaching like he said. And he knows our name! I feel respected.
It was a delight to in each of Professor Levenson's classes. Not only was his lectures informative but he had funny antidotes throughout each lecture. He was professional as well as easy to work with if you needed clarity. Lastly, Professor Levenson was recommended to me by one of my former classmates and I am happy that I took his class!
Very good professor. Loves to talk and give long lectures. He explains EVERYTHING very clearly, and if you miss something he will explain it until you understand. He has a lot of fun and interesting stories and is a very great professor!
Lecture for the entire sessions, but real helpfull in making sure you understand. Like to tell stories and a bit of history
Professor Levenson is the best professor I have ever had. He explains everything so well, and if you do not understand he always makes time to explain. It is important to attend class, but they are so interesting so I would not miss a class if I were you. I am so happy I took his class!
Clearly states what will be on the test. You are allowed to use your notes and the textbooks. MAKE SURE TO TAKE NOTES. If you have any questions, he will gladly help you to explain further.
Clearly states what will be on the test. MAKE SURE TO TAKE NOTES.
It was really great experience that I took this class. Professor's explanation was very clear and he helps a lot. In addition, do not miss the class. When you didn't take your notes clearly, it will be hard to take a class. BUT if you took you notes perfect, than your grade will be perfect! Don't miss the class.
Professor Levenson is a tough professor but knows what he's talking about you and will really help you stay focused and learn the material. Learned more from him than any of my other professors.
Great teacher! He really got me interested in Business Law, which I thought I wasn't interested in at all.
I recommend this professor! There are only two open book test the whole course, no assignments or papers, and gives extra points for students who show improvement. Very lenient with absences and is very understandable if any personal problems arise during the course. Class notes are everything! No book needed! Human encyclopedia of random facts :D
international student from India. first business law class and the professor made it very easy and understandable. His way of teaching is far better than other professors at berkeley.
You must come to class everyday, because you need your class notes in order to pass the test, in which are open book. I was scared to take this course, because I didn't think I would able to understand the material what so ever. But once I went to class and met the professor my worries went out the door.
I like the stories he always had.
WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST IN BERKLEY COLLEGE. I'm really happy that I took Prof. Levenson's class!!! He makes the class understandable for everyone and gives fair exams. His stories and jokes are just a plus to make the lectures even better. Just make sure you attend class so you can take good notes!!! You won't regret taking his class :)
One of the best professors at Berkeley I really recommend taking his class! Took Business law 1 and and 2 with him, great professor. Come to class and take good notes. He knows what he is talking about!
best class taken berkeley college. understood the concepts well, and learnt a lot in general from this class. would highly recommend taking a class with professor levenson as he is the best professor i've had, by far. He explains the concepts in such simple ways and makes the subject way less complicated.
Professor Levenson's lectures are unlike most other professors - as he engages the students with his own experience in the subject rather than read off from a power-point (he also includes hilarious stories/opera singing). Note taking is crucial, as he alerts you on what may be on the exam during his lecture. Overall, he's an incredible professor.
Good Pro.
he is great professor !
One of the best professors! Not only is the class not difficult (if you're there for notes) but you can tell that he actually really loves teaching.
Great professor. Come to class, take notes and you will pass. He is also an excellent opera singer.
One of the smartest professors I've had at Berkeley. Fair grader. This is definitely a class where you will learn a lot of valuable information. The Professor made sure all the material was easy to understand and made the lessons interesting.
This Professor is a must take! You have to show up and take good notes in order to pass. Its simple, all his tests are open book and if you are absent you can make it up. He tells really funny stories and wants his class to do well. If you put in the work you will pass with an A no problem
Great Professor
Easy class and funny/interesting lectures.
He is definitively one of the best teachers I have come across at Berkeley and loves what he is teaching. Taking good notes is mandatory to pass the class, but he is explaining the material excellently. His class was the highlight of my week and I would recommend him to every student. He is amazing!
Make sure you go everyday and take good notes and you'll pass the class.
Professor Levenson is very knowledgable and was able to give lectures on topics from the textbook without reading from the book. When my grandfather got sick, it greatly affected my performance in class, he was very understanding and gave me an opportunity to makeup what I missed. He makes learning fun and has a contagious sense of humor.
Great Great Great professor!
Go every day to class and you will definitely pass. Make sure you take notes and you will pass with an A the course.
Go to class and take notes and you're guaranteed an A. Everything you will need to pass a test is from his lecture notes. Went everyday and with good notes got an A!
Show up to class and takes notes and you will have everything you need to pass this course. Very helpful and replies quick to emails.
Professor Levenson is an excellent professor, because when he explain something, he give all the possible scenarios and historical backgroudns. He is a wise man and know a lot about history. So if you are a lame take someone else because he talks a lot, but only interesting things. I highly recommend him!
One of the best professors that I have come across at Berkeley College. He is very knowledgeable and full of information, and he cares a lot about his students. You have to show up to class pay attention and write his notes, and you will get an easy A in his class if you put in the work. It was a pleasure to be a student of his and I never thought
Professor Levenson is very good at explaining the material. If you show up to class, you will pass the course for sure.
Excellent Professor, I recommend him, Just show up to class and take good notes.
Excellent teacher. Show up to class and make sure to take great notes. Real understanding and is there for his students.
Levenson is great! He respects students and the subject matter greatly. The stories from his time teaching at other schools or from history make the content memorable, even if the subject matter itself can be dry at times. Staying attentive during lecture and taking good notes will save you many hours outside of class. Exams are fair.
Levenson is a very good professor! He always include everyone in the class in the conversation, but not in a scary way like many other professors do. Make sure you make it to class so you can take notes. Your notes is all you need. There is only 3 tests throughout the whole semester, and it's open book, so with good notes you can't fail.
Professor Levenson is tough but incredibly knowledgable- not only about what he's teaching but about history and other important subjects, which helps you develop a better understanding of the material. One must show up for his classes and take careful notes in order to do well on his exams. His lectures are unforgettable.
His lectures are very helpful to broaden your historical background about law. Also, his notes will help you get good grade on exams. I am sure that his course will improve your knowledge about a lot of areas.
His tests are open book. You must answer the questions in detail and make sure you attend his class. Lectures are VERY important to pass his class. I did not find interest in the class, and at times it was boring. Bring plenty of snacks and bring your laptop to the class, so you are able to write down EVERYTHING he says.
Read the memos, don't skip class, take notes. Really good professor, tests are specific to the lectures.
Overall great professor. Learned a lot throughout my period in this course of business law much of which i intend to stay up to date with. Professor levenson is quite the comedian. Made class fun and educational all at once!
This spring I took BLII with Professor Levenson and had a great learning experience. Each lecture of his is made up of important information, real-life situations, and jokes that keep the class engaged. Also, he makes it clear what criteria is needed on the test by preparing an outline for each exam. Great professor, would definitely take again!!!
Levenson is a kind hearted professor, I would take him again in a heartbeat. lecturer can drag a little bit and get boring at times. will make sure your okay with the material and wont move forward until he sure you get the info. really cares about his students. Talk after class and get to know him, he is caring/great. You wont regret this!!! Rich
Professor Levenson is one of my favorite Berkeley College professors so far. His class is great, and we had a lot of fun in the classroom. If you like real-life examples and great anecdotes, this is the class for you. If you show up, take notes and participate in the discussions, you will be more than fine.
Great Professor! I would definitely consider taking his class. Its important to always show up to class because having notes are crucial for the exams. All exams are open book! He made the lectures interesting as well as making the class engaged.
Professor Levenson is a pretty solid teacher. Pay close attention to when hes speaking during lectures though, because he can talk a little fast. All in all, take good notes, read the memos he posts online, and skim the textbook; youll be good to go for tests and exams!
Great and interesting lectures.
This pofessor is awesome, home shows great knowledge of history and law.
Great professor. Has corny jokes, and talks about Trump a lot. But can relate to how we feel about him being President. Need to take good notes to pass his exams, because theyre only short answers. Memos are pretty helpful.
Professor Levenson is pretty laid back. He would occasionally give short stories to better get the idea of the subject across; the stories are interesting bit of trivia, so they aren't easily forgettable. He is also very understanding of the learning process and will aid if he can tell you're not comprehending the curriculum.
A law genius! Very informative and knowledgeable about the legal system.
