Would not take this prof. again if my career depended on it! Stories are funny mostly to himself, and wanders off subject. Heavily discourages discussion and questions. This proffessor is an easy grader, and rushes through pre-view and review of exams. I was very disappointed with this class, and I got a good grade.

Hetchler is one of the best instructors I've ever had. I enjoyed taking 1080 so much that I took 1090. It is a very interesting class; If you pay attention, every story he tells relates to a term so it is easier to remember on the exams. If you don't like Mr. Hetchler, you are taking life way to serious and you should attend a four year university.

His class is based on lectures (you'll still need a book, not so much a study guide), so unless you can write very fast, its prob best if you get a voice recorder.

Professor Hetchler is a good professor, he gets off topic a lot but he tells hilarious stories in his lectures. Make sure you come to class as he only lectures and there are only 3 exams, the curve is huge on the exams though. It is not a super hard class but if you're not going to pay attention or if you skip class, I wouldn't take it with him.

A great business law professor. Exams are straight from lectures. Uses real life memorable examples to explain law concepts that makes learning fun and entertaining. Book is great to use as a reference, but showing up to every class along, taking good notes, and putting is a decent effort into studying notes are the key to pass.

If you thought Hetchler was great in Business Law Season: 1 expect the same antics in Season 2 (BLAW1090) In Season 2 he's up to his same antics but with fresh material! Be sure to tune in to class and take good notes. You get three chances (exams) to redeem yourself! Reading the script (book) is not mandatory, but great if you miss a show

Hetchler is a gem! I was excited to have him for BLaw2. He's funny, entertaining lectures. gives detailed test and final reviews. Final exam is only half cumulative. Grades on a curve.I love the history he gives in his lectures. He's been around the block! Show up for class. You can only miss so many times. Get a textbook. He's not into technology.

Dr. Hetchler's class is the gin in the Campari! If you show up, pay attention to lecture, and take notes, you will do fine. Tests are taken straight from the lecture, and lecture is amusing and enlightening, so don't miss class! This 8am-12p Saturday morning business law class was, in many ways, the highlight of my week. You'll love this class.

Professor Hetchler can tell some funny stories but he only gives 3 tests and that is all. He does not give study guides for any of the tests, and there are so many things covered before each test. I found it hard to know what to study for because his lectures were entertaining but hard to follow.

Absolutely zero class participation, tests soley based on lecture notes. Getting an A in this class is difficult, must study a lot. Took him again because its not too heavy on homework but you do have to keep up with the notes. Wish he allowed for more participation and class discussion- it would help in a Blaw class.

He's a fun, old guy who knows the law like the back of his hand. He teaches with knowledge and experience, but isn't the best at teaching. The biggest problem comes from the way he grades. There are only three exams. No quizzes, no papers, no projects, no extra credit. It is difficult to see how you are progressing in the class as a lack of these

There are only 3 tests like everyone says, but they are fair and he tells you what all 50 questions will cover. Study and pay attention in class like you're supposed to and you won't have a problem. If you have a problem paying attention in lectures then consider another teacher.

I feel blessed to have taken him. Lectures are great because he's interesting and funny. You will not be bored even while learning contract law. With that being said, if you find it difficult to pay attention to lectures only, or skip class a lot then consider another professor. Show up and take good notes and you will do fine on the 3 exams.

I found 1090 easier than 1080 with him, But it's still not an easy A. It is easy to fall behind as there is no homework or reviewing, you MUST keep up on your own if you want the A. Studying for a few hours the night before will not cut it after not reviewing for a month. Take good notes, write down everything he says

This professor tends to not give you many worksheets that you can depend on. He is the type of teacher that lectures the whole class and you have to take notes. All notes taken leads up to 3 pages per class, meaning you still have to read the book and you have to be able to understand the laws and concepts he put in his lecture. NOT WORTH IT.

This is the definition of a lecture class. Lectures nonstop from the beginning of class until the end of class. Tends to rant and struggles to stay on topic. He is full of information but throws everything at you all together without reiteration. You will get belittled for asking a question. Only grades are the four exams. -Kristian

He is not helpful at all in terms of grading. He does everything possible to grade things as hard as he can. He words questions as tricky as possible in order to trip you up.
