Enroll in his courses if you want to waste your time and money and not learn a thing. The whole semester he said the most uncomfortable jokes and waits for pity laughs. He doesn't have a syllabus nor does he grade/look at the work you handed in. I'm sure he's a nice guy outside of the classroom but clearly doesn't know how to engage students.

Just make sure you show up, participate, and do the assignments and I guarntee youll do fine. The other reviews are from lazy students who did not want to put in any effort, trust me.

Don't take this class if it's a once a week 3 hour long lecture. That's what I did and it is honestly painful. He is very knowledgeable on law but the content is so dry/boring and he spends the entire 3 hours lecturing with no break. He also thinks he's funny but the jokes just get pitty laughs kinda like a boring annoying Seinfeld

I had no idea what to expect, and now am considering a Law degree. He makes you work for your grade. BLA201 is a tough class that covers a lot of content and Kovach fairly expects that you'll actually study and learn the material. Study the content and you'll do well. Also, his examples are very animated, hyperbolic, and funny.

He's actually really easy-going and laid-back. He is lecture heavy, and does assign a lot of homework. But he is lenient as far as deadlines and grading go, and as long as you show up to class and you put in some effort, you will get an A. Also no final exam and quizzes/tests for his class was a big plus. I personally was a fan of his dad jokes too

He was super fun! He does weekly quizzes but they aren't that hard. The exams are based on scenarios but it's open note so it isn't too difficult. Attendance is not mandatory and you can self-study exams if you want but quizzes are in person so I recommend coming in when those are. Overall super nice teacher and funny too.

Just make sure that you participate!! even if that is just asking a question and also trying to talk to Professor Kovach after class. He is a very cool guy and a solid professor, and he is willing to work with anyone to help them out as long as you take your time and just talk to him about any situation that you may be facing.

Lots of material (some very hard, some common sense) within this course, spread across many chapters. Very lecture-based, with so many powerpoint slides--but he also breaks it up by making lectures very conversational and uses real-world examples as much as possible. Tests are concept based and use scenarios that are hard to comprehend.

This class is very lecture-heavy. Despite having this class very early, 8 am, the professor kept you engaged enough to keep you awake, but not so much that you're annoyed or overwhelmed. This class goes through a chapter a week, and there's a quiz every week. There's not a lot of work, but it's a class you need to pay attention to.

Dr. Kovach is a really interesting professor. He does assign a chapter of reading a week and weekly quizzes on each which seems a little unnecessary but honestly it makes you read and pay attention in class which ultimately makes it easier for yourself when taking the exams. This is a very big lecture class so you don't always have to show up.

Professor Kovach is overall a good professor, just be prepared to take lengthy notes to get through the exams. There aren't many assignments worth any points so your grade will mostly depend on your exam results, where a cheat sheet is allowed. Make sure to actually read the text book, as a lot of the material is heavily focused on it .
