Clear expectations and easy to follow even though it can be a tough topic. He posts a lot of reminders and seems to care about students.
He works hard so you do not need to. You will learn a lot though. Very good at responding to emails, questions in class and questions outside of class.
Hard-working professor and wants everyone to succeed. Provides all the material/info. that you'll ever need through powerpoints, including any type of help that you need. Gives study guides for exams a week or two beforehand and it is very helpful. No essays, only case briefs (really easy) and also extra credit. Would take again if I had to.
At first I was reluctant to take this class but throughout the semester Professor McCarty was trying his best to teach us so I felt that it was natural to respond in kind and put forth my best effort as well. Would definitely take his other Business Law classes if I ever have room in my schedule again. He's definitely one of my favorite professors.
Clearly an expert on real estate and very accessible over email and private messaging. The course is a challenge because it requires a lot of time to complete all the assignments, but the grading criteria is clear and you can do really well if you put the time into it. If you want to know real estate law really well, this is the course for you!
Entertaining class, at least for what can sometimes be a dull topic. Did better on exam than I thought. The review and study guide are very helpful.
Wow! He provides a lot of videos and overviews to help make sense of the law. The videos and much of the other resources are mostly optional but they are there when you need them. Almost done with the course and felt like I learned a lot. He is very responsive to messages and nice and understanding. Extra credit is possible. Highly recommend.
Great class and professor!!! Nice guy that is smart and very educated and experienced but down to earth and approachable. I learned a lot through examples and weekly quizzes that can be retaken up to 3 times and Kahoot! Class was mostly fun learning even though the law is really challenging. Extra credit is available.
Just got grade. Best professor ever.
By far the most rewarding class I've taken in college. The subject matter was good but the professor is amazing and makes it come to life through continuous involvement, great videos, engaging discussions, good feedback, putting together multiple resources on his own, and rewarding quizzes and project with clear instruction. Take this online class.
More people would learn and enjoy school if professors were always this approachable and caring. This course was enjoyable throughout the entire semester. Definitely one of my all time favorite teachers to ever come across, literally. The accommodations and patience are unparalleled towards the students. Extremely informative & brilliant professor.
Great online class! So many optional resources that are really helpful to understand the material, including study guides for exams, videos, discussion boards with options,and quizzes that can be taken multiple times. Did I mention that extra credit is also available?!!! The professor is really responsive and helpful when asked. Great class online.
I am actually sad this class is over. Funny! It was the highlight of my semester, if not my college career. Very inspirational, caring professor, who accomplished so much and is here because he wants to be. Great discussions and lectures with amazing PowerPoints that are posted online. I learned a lot and had no idea how much I would like the law.
Legit professor. Very cool and understanding. Learned a lot. Flexible online class. Professor sends out reminders and seems to really care about student success. The work flow is good with just the right amount to help prepare for exams. Online is the way to go.
Very caring, funny professor and fairly chill class with a 1-2 page case brief paper, weekly discussion board posts, & a quiz that can be repeated 3 times every week. Also 2 exams with study guides and xtra credit. I received helpful comments on weekly discussion board posts, which must take the professor a lot of time to post but worth the effort.
Great online class. Highly recommend this.
He's a great professor! He knows a lot about the subject and gives great feedback on assignments. His quizzes and tests aren't very hard, and his lectures cover exactly what you need to know. Only real downside is that he can get behind on grading, but you can't blame him because he is a very busy man.
Excellent class. Enrolled for more courses taught by McCarty this summer. The online format is very organized, and he sends out reminders so you always know what you need to do. His grading of written work takes a while because he actually reads it all and gives feedback when helpful. He is very quick to respond to emails and private messages.
This teacher really gives it his all . He gives constant encouragement to the class,thoroughly reads all of your work and gives positive feedback and critical feedback when needed. You will need to do plenty of reading and research to get a good grade in his class, but it all worth it; you will learn a lot. He give's letter's of recommendation.
It would be hard to find a better online course than this. Very caring professor who answers messages quicker than most. Plenty of optional videos to help learn the subject but it is nice that they are optional rather than required because there are a lot of them. There is a great discussion board every week that makes it feel like a classroom.
He is a wonderful teacher. His class is interesting and fun. He always respond the emails, very helpful.
Great professor and class. I plan to take all of the law classes he teaches and recommend his online and traditional formats. You cannot go wrong either way. He is very caring and smart. He seems to really want everyone to understand the material that he is very passionate about and works hard to present the lessons in a variety of ways to help.
Awesome!
Awesome professor! He really cares about his students. He didn't dock points for not understanding completely the material during class discussions but instead he gave feedback and a better way of comprehending. We need more professors like him. Definitely an interesting subject as well. Loved it!
I have taken a lot of online classes and this is the best. Very organized and easy to follow format. The instructor is quick to respond and gives a lot of reminders to make sure things get done. He really wants the class to succeed. Lots of optional videos to help & extra credit! The syllabus made the class look harder than it is.
He loves to understand your way of thinking. He will try to teach in many ways possible so everyone has an opportunity to learn their own way and speed.!
This professor really cares about his students! He is easy to talk to and super helpful when you need it! If you pay attention in class you will pass easily without having to read the textbook.
I took BUS 19 as an online course. He gave us one 10-20 question quiz and one discussion post every week. He provided us with study guides for exams. Preferable to have a basic understanding of legal system, if not, there's just more to learn! He is slow on grading. The only class I took that was truly challenging. Overall, a great professor.
The course is really hard but professor explains it in clear terms that makes it understandable. He presents hypotheticals in class that are also on tests. Always there to help students and engage everyone in class activities. Great professor!
reading helps but he gives you summarization of the chapter in module which mostly covers all chapter objectives (if it doesnt i just skim the book to find the answer to the part).quizzes are mostly true/false (with a generous 3 attempts. BIG PROJECT but gives you plenty of time.
Excellent professor that really cares. Answered all my questions very quickly. The website is so organized and easy to use.
Great class! Very organized and easy to know what is due and what needs to get done. Answers emails very quickly but can take a bit to grade, which is fine because he grades fairly and responds to questions quickly.
Awesome professor and class. I would do much better if all online classes were this well organized with so much helpful information and reminders about deadlines. Highly recommend.
Professor McCarty responds quickly to emails and in great detail. He gives opportunities to make up work and is fair in his grading. His exams are entertaining. If you are up to date with current shows you will love this class! It's funny to read his exam questions. Highly recommend him because he CARES, you won't feel like just another student.
Definitely the best class I have ever taken. I learned so much and met so many people in the legal field. I wish I could take this class again.
This is an amazing class that can't really be described in a short review. The professor brings in so many amazing people from the legal field, provides great resources to teach about the different areas of legal specialty, develops legal research skills, & even gave free pizzas. Getting a good grade is very doable if attending and doing the work.
This is such an organized online class that I will take more with this professor. Once you get used to posting discussions and completing an untimed & retakeable quiz each week, and using the study guides to prepare for exams, then you will do well. It takes work, but it is worth it.I actually think law is something I will pursue in the future now.
Best class ever. Best professor ever. Hybrid is great. Reviews for exams were helpful.
Amazing class. The professor's lectures are informative and passionate, especially for a topic that could be very dry. It shows that he loves what he is doing, which makes others love law as well. Definitely has a unique teaching style with a mix of methods that I highly recommend.
He wants to see you succeed. I plan on taking more classes with him. Only needed a textbook (no third-party applications like Connect) which was really nice. Straightforward instructions and grading.
I really enjoyed taking this class and Professor McCarty overall is a great professor. He provides very accurate study guides for upcoming exams and even offers extra credit. He's very helpful and truly wants to help you succeed.
Great professor. Very responsive and helpful!
Amazing Professor! Very passionate about Law and if you read the chapter before class and during class lectures the material will click 100%. He is very funny, online quizzes due every Sunday, and no homework (Would still recommend to have the book). Always communicate with him if anything happens, he is REALLY good about replying back.
I have taken several law courses with Professor McCarty, and he is a great professor, caring and fair. I think BUS 43 is the most difficult course he teaches, but he makes earning an A possible with hard work in the course. This was the only course that used a $50 online website other than Canvas, but it was high quality and helped me learn more.
Very responsive every time I emailed and he helped me understand the material when I struggled. While the class was difficult, he worked with me and provides a lot of resources to help with learning. The study guide is worth going through to do well on the exams, and he provided a curve to help with grades! I would not have passed without it.
McCarty put together a course that is easy to navigate and that has a lot of extra materials to help with understanding the chapters. He responded to every email I sent very quickly and was very nice.
Seriously compassionate instructor, wants the best for his students and does everything he can to be resourceful and helpful. The best professor I have had so far.
Great professor. I took summer Bus 8 Intro to Law online bc it was required. I'm not into law at all, but his class was super straightforward. As long as u do all the work, ur good. In the summer, there are 2-3 chapters a week. 150-300 word discussion post and 3 attempts quiz per chapter. There is a 2 page case-brief research project. great class.
super involved professor. can tell he really cares about students learning. provides power points and videos to help u understand the chapters. as long as u stay on top of it and do the work, u can easily get an A. For final and midterm, highly recommend utilizing the study guide he provides with topic list. also textbook index is helpful too.
Amazing class and professor. Awesome attitude and very helpful every time I emailed.
Surprisingly my favorite class so far. Learned a lot about law that is actually helpful to know and had me researching more just because it was interesting. You can tell that the professor loves law and wants to share knowledge in funny way. Not overwhelming work even though the law can be intimidating. There are a lot of resources to delve into.
Super cool class and professor. I actually want to be a lawyer now and know what type of laws I am interested in knowing more about to specialize in one day. Professor McCarty was very nice and put me in the right direction when I asked questions about becoming a lawyer. Even though it is a lot of work, this class is great preparation and worth it.
Awesome Business Law class. This is the best online class ever. Very easy to understand even if first time on canvas.
Great course & professor! This class was an elective & I am glad I chose it. Made the law less intimidating & less complicated. Funny exams that kept anxiety low. Responsive professor who is helpful when asked. Very fair grader. Quiz & discussion board for each chapter. Short quiz can be taken 3 times. Final and midterm exams with case brief paper.
Mr. McCarthy is a great professor for law classes. He explains the material in a way that is easily understandable, and also answers questions in a polite way. The quizzes are also made in a way to help students understand the material better.
Ive taken two of his classes and just love him. He really wants to help students and will go out of his way to do anything to help you succeed. Very intelligent and has a long accomplished history in the law field.
This professor is super awesome and I would recommend him to anyone. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and teaches in a way that is understandable.
Best teacher at Delta. Truly cares about his students. I would totally recommend anyone to take his class.
Totally cool professor! S.S. McCarty-Snead is very understanding and provides good opportunity to do well in the course. Just make sure and do his stupid discussions every week.
The best professor. If you are interested in starting your own business or if you already have one, then this class is for you. This professor has a lot of discussion boards online that are useful for learning with others if you like interacting with others even in an online course. So long as you do the work, he is a fair grader.
Not an easy class but it is a great one. The professor puts in a lot of extra resources to try to help and is easy to get in contact with for info. A lot of work but worth it if interested in actually understanding real estate and preparing for the exam.
This class is a good one and the professor is great and caring. The course can seem very hard and like a lot of work but it does not actually take as long as it seems once you get used to it and the professor gives lots of helpful resources and reminders online.
Professor sends a lot of emails and there is a lot in the syllabus- more information than any other professor! The benefit? You know EXACTLY what you are supposed to do. There is no reason not to get an A with him. He responds to emails super fast and is understanding if you miss an assignment. Most organized professor award definitely goes to him!
He puts a lot of effort into writing discussion topics and lets students choose from one of the many topics to write about. His tests are filled with some funny questions too. Great professor.
During the first class period, he gives you a background of his life. He was a teenage father and decided that he wanted to pursue his education. Ended up getting a full scholarship to Oxford and a law degree from Berekely. Commutes all the way to Stockton to teach community college because he believes that education can change lives. THE BEST!
Excellent course and professor. The course is on Canvas with no publisher website needed. The course is organized in a way that is easy to follow. Also easy to earn full credit on the untimed quiz and discussion each week. Also a midterm and final exam with a helpful study guide and a case brief assignment with a helpful example.
Learned a lot in this course. Very organized and easy to follow. Helpful instructor who answers emails quickly. Fair grading. Lots of discussions and a quiz for each chapter. One paper on motivation theories and two exams with helpful study guides that show what needs to be focused on while studying. Lots of reminders to help stay on course.
I took him for business law and the class was easy. He lets you retake exams and gives good feedback! If you ever can't make it to something, let him know and he understands. Very caring and nice! Made business law interesting. Everything was on Canvas so no needed access code.
He is awsome.
THIS TEACHER IS EVERYTHING I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . Steven is the Coordinator and the Pre Law Advisor for Pathway to law. Finals are only 25% of the class. Test are major which are always multiple choice and you have 3 chances. Only 1 written paper and its NOT hard, the teacher is not a strict grader. COMMUNICATION IS AWESOME
I took this as a 4 week course over summer. We had to read 3-4 chapters a week, take a quiz for each chapter (3 attempts,) and do a discussion for each chapter. He grades really easy as long as you follow instructions. There was a midterm and a final, both multiple choice and t/f. We had to write one paper (2 pgs). Easy A as long as you read.
weekly assignments, nothing out of the ordinary though. gives multiple tries on the weekly quizzes, so you can retake the quiz and try to better your score. all the other assignments are pretty straightforward; you'll definitely need your book & to do some reading though. it'll help you out A LOT.
He has all your work all displayed in the modules. Its pretty easy to get A's in this class. Do your work, Read, and pass your quizzes. He gives nots, lectures, and extra videos pertaining to the reading material. He's gives us a lot of feedback and is really quick to respond to your emails. I am taking a second class that he is instructing.
Prof. McCarty is really one of the best professors at Delta College. Very knowledgeable in what he does and teaches. He is also very clear in the syllabus and makes sure you understand what he is teaching. This is the second time I took one of his classes and would honestly take more if I was a law major. Anybody who takes this class should pass.
If you want to learn from someone who has a passion for law and teaching, take McCarty. This class was not hard but it was very informative and interesting. 6 week class, 2 discussions, 2 quizzes every week. Midterm/Final exams. 2 page case brief at the end (not hard). Quizlet class for the most part, but he mentioned cheating so, up to you...
This professor is great to have! The quizzes are easy. Weekly discussions that are very easy. Professor McCarty gives great feedback on all discussions and the grading is so easy. One case brief paper at the end of the semester. You can take the quizzes multiple times and the best score is kept. Very knowledgeable one it comes to law. Recommend!
He's an amazing professor. There's a lot of reading, a quiz every week, a paper, and two exams. He's very caring and gives amazing feedback. The communication is awesome, although he takes a while to grade. He is very passionate about what he teaches and cares about his students! Definitely one of the best professors out there!
Yes! Helpful course and teacher who cares and responds quickly to assist!
Plenty of reading and writing in this class along with discussion and participation. Very approachable professor, this is a law class so be sure to pay attention and read your material. In the end, you'll learn a lot of helpful stuff. Other than that, this class is a passable one, and knowing your professor is there to help is a plus.
McCarthy puts together online courses that are easy to navigate and understand what needs to be done. Lots of helpful reminders and relevant announcements and resources in the modules. Responds so fast on email and is very caring and helpful.
Another easy to navigate course with lots of helpful resources in the modules. I like the textbook and will probably keep it. The prof is very organized and responds to emails quickly and helpfully. You can't go wrong choosing this course.
He cares about his students. There are 2 discussions assignments and one quiz per week. Read the book and watch the videos and you should be good. He is not a tough grader and will give you feedback. He answers his emails almost immediately. There are 3 tests and one case brief, and assignments are always fun and you will learn a lot.
This professor is so organized and detailed. Very caring and understanding in a fair way. Examples and details for the paper and helpful announcements throughout the semester. Very helpful and quick on email. Caring and easy to met with on phone and zoom. Lots of resoures on canvas modules. Great study guides and study tips. Fair grader. Very clear
Taking bus 8 with bus 18a was a good idea since they cover a lot of the same material. Understand the law a lot better from slightly different points of view between the two. The reviews are right. Great professor and courses that are easy to navigate and do well in if you read carefully, follow instructions & think things through. Very fair.
Good course organization and very responsive professor who seems to care. Appreciated the helpful announcements and attention to details.
Good course and great professor who is quick and helpful.
This was a great intro to law and so many practice areas to think about. The course is simple to get around on and has a lot of helpful resources. Never needed to contact the professor because he gave detailed instructions and announcements and everything was clear enough to do well.
Took in the 6-week format. 3 chapters read per week w/ quiz + discussion board for each chapter. Very manageable and clear grading instructions. You can retake quizzes to gain full points, easy as long as you read. Study guides cover what are actually on the exams. The content is interesting and you learn a lot. I really liked this class!
Not a difficult grader. As long as you try, you will get credit. Lots of reading. Learn how to study first before you take this class. There is an overabundance of reading and videos but if you figure out how to tackle them, you will survive. He gives great feedback and his responses are usually to help you understand.
This is a doable way to complete a course in 4 weeks. Its a organized class. There are many reminders and tips and resources to help. The professor is very caring and helped with everything when needed and did not require meetings but met when asked. He is very quick at answering emails and helpful with everything that came up in the semester.
There's a ton of reading, especially if taking the late start term, but quizzes are easy, multiple chances. Mid-term and Final aren't too hard, can use notes and such. Gives lots of info/help and advice at the beginning of the week for upcoming and current assignments. Such a sweet professor, you can tell he wants his students to succeed!
I took his late-start class for the Fall. It was very easy and quick-paced, with only 2 quiz-based exams and 1 brief case paper assignment (2 pages max). The 15 or so discussions were nothing hard, as you'll have no trouble if you read through the textbook while taking some short notes. I would definitely take his classes again!
This course is fairly challenging. It requires a lot of critical thinking and study to excel. The professor though is amazing and provides an absolute ton of resources for the student to be successful. I personally found it easier to take my own notes on the textbook rather than use his summaries/slides. Overall amazing professor and super thorough
I took this law class over the span of 5 weeks and I was so worried that it would be unmanageable. But professor McCarty is a very generous grader! As long as you finish the discussions with a decent amount of knowledge you will get 100%'s. Tests are heavy but he gives a TON of resources outside of just the textbook. This was a very fun class!
I took him during the summer, so the class was accelerated, but he was an amazing professor. Had a clear grading criteria. There were discussions and quizzes weekly. The quizzes were easy as long as you did the assigned readings.
loved this professor. the class was pretty straight forward. quizzes and discussions due weekly. the exams were not difficult at all. just make sure to do the readings and you will be fine. he also answers to emails quickly.
