A dork, but grades easy, classes are easy

Washburn makes class worth going to. He's a real chill guy who knows his stuff.

Sweetest hair you'll ever see, better to sit as close as possible and try and figure out how he does it. Good professor too.

Nitro is HOT!!!

I had him 3 times. Awesome.

no attendance. fun class. he has some of the funniest stories

Kewl professor. Definately worth taking his class. Good stories too! :-D

Makes Class interesting...there if you need help....not an easy class but definately a cool guy worth taking

Coolest teacher I've had here. Very interesting class and worth going to even though attendance isnt required

he is awesome

Cool guy. Keeps class interesting with random stories.

Best teacher I have had here. Brings real life stories into the classroom.

He's a rock star, a hot-shot lawyer, a martial arts expert, a guy with TV hair, and now you can add this to his resume: the kind of professor that gives college education a good name.

Great teacher

Really cool guy who makes class and learning about the law fun. He is young and parties with rock stars and treats you with respect...best professor at Bryant, too bad he is a part-timer :( Definitely take him if you can.

He really knows what he is talking about. He wants you to improve on your grade and rewards your for it. Def take this class. Great stories about his famous friends. He relates all the topics to really interesting things so you remember easily.

He's always got awsome stories and is on top of what is going on in the real world. Drops your lowest quiz grade also

Best teacher i've had so far

Washburn is by far the most chill prof at Bryant. He always has the best stories and if you don't laugh when he laughs you must not have a pulse. Awesome guy and a medium difficulty class. Drops lowest quiz and is always willing to help. 1 PAGE BRIEFS!!! WOOT.. haha. Best LGLS prof @ Bryant.

I have to slightly agree with the last rater. He is extremely funny. Has great stories and will def. make you laugh, but his grading is screwed up. He has 20% for everything in the class, but says it doesnt mean anything and he will grade based on how you improve. Great guy, learned alot. Not gettin

I think he is so sexy. He doesn't want children and neither do I so I think we should get married. He is my perfect man, rich, intelligent, and stocky. What a cutie, oh yea and his class is pretty good too. You don't really have read. Tests and quizes are a lilttle challenging.

He's the best!!!!!!!

Great guy!!!!!. Has a real passion for law, and is a very bright individual. If you want to learn the LAW and also have some fun, take this class. He keeps it interesting and is very informative. Take good notes and you'll be fine on tests.

This guy is awesome!!! All of his exams are open book/open notes. His class is definitely worth going to everyday even though he doesn't take attendance. He relates the material to things that we would understand. Such a funny guy, tells funny stories of his stupid things his friends do... TAKE HIM!

The nicest guy ever...never takes attendance, gives half of each of the 3 tests you have as a take home. suck up and you will get a b

Nice guy...Be on time to class, he doesnt like it if your late. Easy class 3 open not tests which are half take home. Gives credit for any answer you put. Take his class

A very good instructor. Team presentation and three exams, two of which were take-home. Prof. Washburn is a real funny guy who tells hilarious stories and has excellent real-world examples pertaining to the law. Is somewhat of a harsh grader, but you will at lease take something away from his class.

Awesome class and teacher. He has hilarious stories and the class is fun to go to. Very clear about everything. Test can be alittle hard but it is all open notes so as long as you go to class and take some notes from the book you should do fine

Funny guy, no ****, treats you like an equal. Hangs with the WAAF set, definately a party guy. Knows his stuff, especially on intellectual property as that is what he does as an attorney. Not a class goes by without a disparaging comment about Hillary Clinton, which was great. Don't blow off your debate project...we slam dunked the other side because they didn't start til the day before and they got hammered on their grade.

Fantastic prof and guy! Every class is enjoyable! Has the best stories-- Take him if you can!!!

I remember more about his outrageou stories than the class but tests are open notes and take home so the class is definitely worth taking. Clarity is lacking but definitely a great guy.

I took this class fall 05' and did fine. Ron knows his sh*t and teaches the material properly. This however, is a difficult class. But, if you go to class, pay attention, and take advantage of the extra help... you'll be fine. Ron never throws curve balls and is extremely fair with his exams. Anyone who disagrees is lazy. -A.D.-

Hes funny as hell. Really knows his stuff and tells hysterical stories. Girls dont seem to like him that much. Real tough grader but if you ask for help hes more than willing to give help.Real clear on test expectations and everything is open note.

washburn is amazing!! all exams are open notes. some are partly take home. he is a fair grader. dont even have to read the book, tests straight from the notes. easy and enjoyable class. only class i looked forward to going to!

I had no interest in the subject before I had this guy but he was the best teacher I have had since being here. Most interesting class and is very easy while at the same time you take something out of the class. Take him for any class you can.

this was a very interesting class and i learned a lot from him. his tests are tricky, but he grades very fairly. has a good sense of humor too and likes to crack jokes.

I took him for 3 different classes. Washburn is the man, his classes are good too. Helped me get into law school. Tests are kind of hard, but open notes. My only 2 complaints are he sometimes takes forever to grade the tests and sports law was way too basic and overlaps a lot with communications law. Otherwise great classes

This guy's a cook. Always comes out with the weirdest stuff. Jokes are funny . . . sometimes. By far the best LGLS professor at school. Tests are tricky but thats what the law is = tricky. Class time is used very well. Very personable. Not a nuymbers grader. Participate and do good work and you'll do just fine.

This guy is phenominal! I never really thought about law as something I'd be interested in, and now im minoring in it! Love this guy!

Washburn is the man. He is very entertaining in class. After taking his class, I'm considering minoring in legals. No papers, only three open notebook exams with take home portions. Tough grader and is a little slow on getting exams back, but highly recommend him. Definitely would take him again!

Washburn is hilarious... he is the only class you will actually look forward to going to, especially if you have any interest in Legals at all. His tests are all open note, so just print out everything he tells you to and you are likely to do fine. Even if you think your grades are low, its only a 90 for an A, and I swear he curves at the end too

Interesting and entertaining professor, however, he is hard. He grades tests harshly and cares more about execution than what you actually know... I'm still trying to figure that concept out...

Simply put, he is the man. Has the best personal stories and is very entertaining. I actually didn't mind night class. Only tests really, so read the book to your liking. Not very responsive to students with questions or giving things back. Gave us extra credit once. Kind of a tough grader, but read your stuff and you're gold.

Awesome teacher. I highly, highly recommend him. Take notes in class and pay attention and you will do well. His tests are open notes so make sure you actually take notes and listen to his examples in class.

Markets and the Law is a great course for anyone who loves the law. If you don't, maybe take something else. However, Washburn teaches it so its worth it regardless. Professor Washburn goes out of his way to help students and explains the subjet matter well. Don't be afraid to read the book, it helps out.

Never would have made it through a night class without him. He made the subject matter interesting with funny stories, examples and real life experiences as a practicing entertainment lawyer. I learned more about business in this class than I did in BUS 101 last year. Definitely take him, you will be interested in Legal Studies after!

Good class, work extremely hard get B+, slack off, get B+, you decide if it is for you

He's a good professor. makes class interesting.

AWESOME!! Can be tough on you but only because he wants you to take the class seriously and learn. I have zero complaints. By far best legals professor at Bryant. No attendance policy but people do come to class.

I took this class and enjoyed it but a week after grade submission deadline, He still has not posted ours. I need to send my transcripts out and I have a deadline. So if you don't care about grades, this is a great class to take. Unfortunately, I need an A and soon.

Took the night class. 3 tests. He's a cool dude. Tells some really weird stories. Kind of a tough grader. I didn't buy the book and I'm look at an A-/B+ in the class. I'd take him again.

Nice guy, good professor. He does grade hard but gives a lot of extra credit. Does mainly take home exams so tests are no problem.

Great teacher. Even if you are not good at writing, go to him for extra help and he will help you. In lectures, he is clear-cut, and concise as possible. Yes, he grades hard, but it's only because he wants you to be the best writer you can be. All take home tests not too difficult, just time consuming. Highly recommend.

Definitely take him. His lectures are always interesting because he has crazy stories. You have to take notes and I would not miss class because the notes are important for passing the exams. The exams are take home but they aren't easy, you have to think and use your notes. He is very clear about what he expects on the exams.

If you want to learn about the legality of business without wanting to shoot yourself, take Washburn. He always makes class interesting and goes over all the material in class. Take good notes and you'll do fine.

Amazing professor and by far my favorite. I extremely enjoyed this class and would take it again. The best legals professor at this university.

He is the man! Had 2 classes with him and wish I could take more. Take good notes and just listen to what he has to say.

Washburn is a super cool dude. His classes are enjoyable and he has super wild anecdotes for every topic that we discuss. He grades subjectively, so even if you get a bad grade on an exam, you can still do well in the class. The only bad thing that I can say about him is that he is the type of professor that teaches for himself, not for the student

Washburn is the most talented and inspiring instructor I have had in 4 years of college. He is the reason I have decided to pursue law school rather than a career in business post graduation. His lectures present the law in a way that is engaging and he relates current issues to learning topics. I highly recommend taking any of his courses.

Good at teaching content. Opinionated and expresses opinion often. All lectured based. Grade solely exam-based which are essays/a paper that you have a week to complete. DO NOT use your laptop, phone, smart watch, etc or show up to class even a minute late. He WILL take 10% off your grade and call you out in front of everyone every single time.

Washburn is one of the best professors at Bryant. His exams are challenging, but doable if you pay attention in class and take good notes. His lectures are interesting and he relates the law to his own experiences as a lawyer. He makes himself available via phone/txt/email any time. Have taken several classes with him.

loved this guy. attendance is not mandatory. he tells his own stories when he is talking about the law to give examples and is super funny. he's a bit of a hard grader but at the end grades on improvement. he cancels class a ton. in comparison to all of the other legals prof's he is definitely the best.

Lectures are fine and interesting, you will learn a lot but he is a really tough grader. Looks for very specific things in exams and quizzes (everything is take-home and open-ended) but if you write what he is looking for then you will do well. Use his office hours and you will get good grades.

attendance is not mandatory but is necessary to do well on exams. he will boost your grade if you participate. follow the format he tells you to for writing essays and you will get a good grade. he doesn't seem to care about your answer as long as you make a good argument that follows his format. easily accessible outside of class

Had him last semester. Overall good class. Exams are take home essays and grades hard. Follow the format he gives in class and write down when he says to know something for the exam. Lectures were interesting. Taking him for a different class this semester.

Idk why he has a low rating for Legals. Professor Washburn is a good teacher who knows what he is talking about. Class is mandatory because he doesn't have notes on canvas. All his tests are take home based on notes and quizzes are open notes, so NOTES ARE IMPORTANT. He is a good grader as long as you answer the question correctly and in detail.

Professor Washburn clearly knows the material in the class and will expect you to take notes. His tests/quizzes are very difficult and he has somewhat unclear directions on them, ASK HIM. Your grade in the course is determined mostly by how well you do on exams. Very little homework (none graded). If you want an A, take LOTS of notes.

Prof Washburn is a good professor and as long as you pay attention and take good notes, you'll do well in his class. Your grade is based on 3 exams and 3 quizzes, but he gives you chances to redo exams if you do poorly. He also said he tends to bump grades up as long as you don't go on your phone. He's overall a good guy and I would take him again.

Professor Washburn's class is easy. Come to class even though attendance isn't mandatory because the notes are super important. You are graded by 3 exams (they are take home) and 2 quizzes. It is a hard class at first because its a lot to learn, but it gets easier. I would recommend this class.

Great professor. The best in legal studies. Exams are easy if you go to class and take notes. Easy to get ahold of to ask questions. Participation helps your grade

Loved this class. No attendance but you have to go to class and take notes for the exams. Interesting class, great guy.

Great guy and a great class. You have a few exams and a couple quizzes which may seem daunting, however you can submit outlines and you go over a lot of sample questions in class. Very open to discussion and has lived a pretty random life with a bunch of stories.

Professor Washburn is great. Great lecturer, he tells lots of stories that can kind of get off track but is very thorough in his teaching methods. He is a tough grader, his grades are very subjective, but effort is rewarded. All his exams are take-home papers and are reasonable. Must attend class and take good notes to do well. Would recommend.

Professor Washburn teaches an engaging class, but you'll need to stay on top of the detailed notes to do well. The exams are challenging, so definitely utilize resources like unstuck AI along with the practice quizzes to prepare. Overall, a worthwhile class if you're willing to put in the effort.

Professor Washburn is a great teacher and person. You must attend all lectures to understand what will be asked in the four exams you will have in his class. He will always help people who struggle with their material and tests. Do not get scared if you do not do well in the first exam, as he will let you retake it with the feedback he gives you.

Washburn is a good guy. His lectures are engaging and he brings real world topics into discussions. Attendance is not taken, but missing a class could mean doing poorly on the next exam. All exams are written, and all content in your essay has to be from lectures or the textbook (no internet research).

He's a great professor although he was not super fond of me. His teaching style keeps class very interesting. His passion and hilarious stories on the information learned in class is contagious and makes you want to do well in the course. I wish the grading rubric for each exam was available on Canvas, as grades are sometimes unclear.

Cool guy, made class entertaining. Clearly knowledgeable about what he does. Sometimes I felt like his grading was harsh/random and wish we had a rubric but didn't affect my grade too much.

Washburn is amazing. His lectures are interesting and he has a lot of fun stories to tell. Not sure if they are true or not but they are still fun to listen to. The only grades are exams and he is tough about grading them, but as long as you explain and are thorough you will be fine. All exams are completely open notes.
