Awesome, funny, caring teacher! He used great examples to explain all the terminology! The exams could be tricky, but if you study your notes and go to class regularly you'll do good!
He's funny, smart, entertaining, and fun. He explains everything very well. He's great.
He may be a funny guy and make some good jokes here and there, but when you get right down into it...his tests are murder, he's all over the place, and you just can never seem to do well unless your an outstanding person like sushi.lol
His teaching is unique and most of the time he is late for class. His extra credit questions concerns watching the Simpson's, which is totally ridiculous. His tests are taken from a test bank that he may cover or may not cover in class. A lot of times he
he is a very nice teacher and is very helpful. i love his sense of humor and his teaching style. i did poorly in his class though because i had such a hard time on the tests.
Tough class, good teacher.
show up to all classes, record and memorize all lectures. memorize every word in every paragraph in all relevant chapters and you will do well on tests. tough class. nice guy, gives good real-life examples but makes you earn a good grade.
strange guy
one of the worst teachers i had for the semester.
Tim Dey is great! He's funny and smart and is able to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to grasp. It's a difficult subject but like any class, if you do the work, you'll pass.
He's tough because he expects you to know the material & doesn't coddle you with multiple choice & T/F tests. Very good teacher. Great sense of humor that helps make it through an almost 4hr. class. I learned a lot.
Great but tough teacher. He made the 4 hours night class interesting. I enjoyed his class a lot.
No Comments
hes an excellent professor, hes got a great sense of humor and a unique style of teaching. him being a real life lawyer helps make a lot of complicated concepts easier to understand. hes a very intelligent guy and i would recommend him for business law I and II.
pyscho
awesome teacher,very helpful. you can tell he loves his job.
would i take this teacher?.....heck yeah!! he makes it very easy to understand and makes law funny with his real life stories.
unless you are SURE you want to be a paralegal or do something with the law dont take him. I was bored out of my friggin mind, I dropped him when i realized BEing a paralegal wasn't for me!
this guy is a good teacher, he is funny as heck, and knows his stuff, he uses alot of real life exapmles in order to relate to the student. I took bus law 2 with him and no lie it was tough but with studying its ok. Take him tho
this man is not a psycho...he just loves his job (i think). i went to every single class. that's how interesting and nonboring he was!!! take him if you want to learn something. believe me, you will use everything you learn in this class for resolving any future life problems.
I've had prof. Dey for almost all of my paralegal courses. He's great, and a lot of fun!
Professor Dey is one of the best professors that I have ever had. He teaches in a way that helps his students to understand the material, learn something about it and have fun. Even though Law can be dry and boring, he certainly livens it up. If you have to take Law take him, he is the best Law professor there at Middlesex. I fully recommend him.
Probably one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. This was a night class that met 2wice a week, but he always found a way to keep the class entertained for the full 3hrs. Grading system is a little weird, but not difficult to get an A in the class at all. Taking him again in the fall for BUS LAW 2...only cuz hes that fun
Prof. Dey is special. He loves to teach and tries to make it fun for all. He loves to mess with your mind, so you have to become good at distinguishing the truth and the jokes with him. Just go to class, take notes with different colored pens, highlight the textbooks, ask questions, turn in work on time, and never come to him with an excuse.
the greatest prof at mcc. took him for bus law 1 and 2. the class is extremely fun, u wont get bored in this class, even though the subject is boring. if u take good notes u do not have to read the book and if u do not miss a class HE WILL BRING UP UR GRADE BY ONE LETTER, except no D from F, this man love his job and u will love his class.
tim dey made class really fun!! i would highly recommend taking him for bus law classes
My most FAVORITE professor at MCC! Absolutely wonderful! He is difficult, but you learn a whole lot. Attendance is key, tests rely on notes. Very understanding if you talk to him and will answer any questions so ask ask ask!! Grades fairly. Respect him and he will respect you. Great guy, down-to earth and very funny!! I always look forward to class
My favorite teacher by far at Middlesex. He is hysterical and makes business law fun and interesting. He's cynical so if you dont have a sense of humor, I dont reccommend taking him, but otherwise he is great. Attendance is important, but you will want to attend class anyway.
took him for law 2. he is an average teacher. Not so easy to get an A. but yes if you show some effort you can end up with a C. and if you attend all his classes your grade can go up from C to C+
GOOD TEACHER, COME TO CLASS, HIS LECTURES ARE GREAT.
I think he is an atheist and that is why it seems like law is his life otherwise what else could keep him going the way he does.
he is not easy teacher. you will have to work really really hard , but still u will get around c or c+. he always making fun of people front of the class. he thinks it's middle school. i would not reccommed him. do not waste your time.
the worst teachers i had he all over the place and its very hard to understand what he is teaching
Great professor! Class will fly by because he is funny, energetic, realistic, and practical. Don't worry about the joking. He picks on himself too ;)
GREAT CLASS, GREAT EXAMPLES, EASY TO UNDERSTAND
hotttt
worst I ever had, made inappropriate and unprofessional comments about certain judges and lawyers, one judge came to my wedding, little did Dey know, likes the young girls who giggle at his inane comments
GREAT PROFESSOR!!! VERY HELPFUL. TESTS ARE NOT EASY, BUT HE ALWAYS GIVES EXTRA CREDITS SO IF YOU STUDY YOU CAN GET "A" OR "B+" ON THEM. PLUS EXELLENT ATTENDANCE WILL BRING UP YOUR GRADE. TAKE HIM. HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
he is funny and energetic very down to earth and not stuck up. he just says it like it is.
he is a great prof. he keeps the class lively and you will learn a lot. tests are okay if you study and he always gives extra credit.
One of the easiest classes ever. He gives 4 tests including the final. 2 of which had a huge curve. 1 of them he let us take it home. If you have perfect attendance in his class he gives you a FULL letter grade higher than what you deserved, funny thing is that he doesnt even take attendance. I was exempt from the final. SO EASY.
The realest professor at MCC. Not the easist class but he makes it interesting. As long as you show up and study you'll be fine. Gave us a take home exam and they always have extra credit. The people that said he is offensive and innappropriate are correct, but thats why class is fun. they need to get over themselves.
You need to get to know him better. I hated him at the beginning. The truth is that he is funny, but sometimes at students' expense.But overall it was a great experience and now I think that he is a great teacher, very knowledgeable about the subject. Take him and you will do fine!
Brings law to life. Walks the walk and talks the talk. However,if you want to remain naive, there are other "textbook teachers" to choose from. One of the few teachers that will make you forget that you are wearing a watch. Respects his students, and makes a great effort to help them network by inviting world-class guests every semester.
Extremely knowledgeable teacher who's a practicing attorney. All students must attend all of his classes and take good notes. He tests from his test summary outline and all classnotes. He's a rather interesting teacher & you must accept his teaching style as the right way to learn. Don't ever give-up and learn everying you can.
Extremely knowledgeable teacher who's a practicing attorney. All students must attend all classes and take good notes. He tests from his test summary outline, all classnotes & basic relevant textbook info. A rather interesting teacher & you must accept his teaching style as the right way to learn. Don't ever give-up and learn everything you can.
Different teaching style. Cares about students and always willing to meet before/after class to help students having difficulty. Since he teaches so many different courses, he gets off topic a lot and strays to another course that he is teaching, but it all relates back to something you need to know. Gives scenarios that everyone can understand.
Great teacher! Interesting, funny, zany, loud, wonderful! Must attend class to get a good grade. Good note-taking is a must for his tests! His tests are not easy, but if you really work for it, you can get a good grade and learn a lot too! He really cares about his students!! If you need help, go to him--he'll go the extra mile to help you!!
My Favorite Professor not just in law classes but all classes. The other comments are right that he is kinda random and you need to pay attention but he is also very entertaining and funny. He is a practice attorney and therefore gives real world examples and tips. Also he once bought the whole class pizza becuse he missed dinner.
Never bored in his classes. Great information and real world examples. Cares deeply about students, will always help. Must attend class and read texts and be able to write notes really fast; he talks a mile a minute and tends to veer off topic but always connects everything to things we need to know. He's awesome, you'll work hard & it's worth it.
He will tell you "I am an acquired taste", and that is an under statement. His lectures are a mess, look more like a diner than a classroom. Students as well as himself are constantly eating, drinking and talking. BAD environment if you want to learn
I LOVE THIS PROF!! My first impression wasn't so great but that soon changed. He found a way to teach so you don't even notice you're learning. His first hand knowledge is his strongest assit. He's super understanding and goes more than above and beyond to help in any way he can (even on his time off). Try one class and get hooked like I did.
Funny professor, cares about his students succeeding. Write down everything he says-tests are 95% from notes. Not easy, but enjoyable class. Likes providing students with seminars at zero cost & usually include dinner! People who complain about his classroom looking like a diner still eat the pizza he buys for the students 4-5 times per semester!
I love this prof! hes a greaaat and funnny.... hes a very nice...
The best!
Without a doubt, the best professor I have ever had.
Great Professor! Truly cares about his students. Best class I ever had in MCC.
Prof Dey keeps it real. He uses the class to give life examples of everything we are discussing. The exams can be confusing, but he gives lots of opportunity to gain extra credit. I don't think i have taken an exam that offered less than 20 EC points! If you want to learn, with Prof Dey you will!! I recommend him highly!! He Cares!
Prof. Dey has amusing stories but he is very confusing and disorganized. You will be wondering when the next exam will be. He's often late to class 10 min. At least he gives reviews and extra points on tests (some take-home). You must take good notes. He's not the best, but I did like when he put a question or two about the walking dead on exams.
This professor will keep you entertained during class. You MUST go to class to pass the tests because it is straight from the notes. He doesn't give you slides or write anything down, you have to listen to what he says is important and take notes. If you do that, this class will be an easy A.
I love Professor Dey. He always keeps class interesting. Sure sometimes he is unorganized, but he is very fair. He gives us real life lessons and applies this theory to the class room. I enjoy his classes and will miss him after next semester :( Great professor. STudy, Take notes and ask questions.
He is a great professor who knows his stuff. Basically you go to class and pay full attention so you can write down important notes. He lectures and you write notes-its just that simple. No powerpoints, handouts, or homework for that matter! When he explains concepts, he uses the class to set up scenarios for you to understand. It wasnt hard at all
Consistently 10-15 minutes late to class, very disorganized, but he seems to know his stuff. Offers plenty of chances for extra credit for exams, which were very hard. Doesn't really respond to emails quickly so don't expect to get help right before an assignment is due.
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee him! AMAZING, still in touch with him :)
This professor is terrible do not take him. He is not clear at all, his notes are all over the place. When he writes notes on the board it looks like my little sister wrote it, he brought his dog to class and it CRAPPED on the floor, who brings there dog to class AND HE'S ALWAYS LATE
Professor Dey is a great person. His class is all about taking good notes. Take good notes and you will be good. Although his tests are hard but he offer lots of extra credit at the same time plus he'll drop your lowest grade out of 5. I failed his first test badly but end up getting a B+
He is a great teacher. Time flies in his class and he can make even the most dull case law interesting. He is funny and genuinely cares about his students. In order to pass you must show up and take great note maybe even write down some of the stories he tells you to help you remember He has office hours and is willingly to help. love him!
very hard,not clear, dont know how to write on the board.
THIS IS THE WORST PROFFESOR THAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MIDDLESEX. DO NOT TAKE HIM. All he does is write nonsense on the board that you can't even understand. Most of his exams are open notebook, but don't think that this means they are easy. SUPER hard and such a tough grader. Plus he NEVER shows up to his exams !
This Professor was one of the worst professors I have ever had in my entire middlesex career. He is sort of a nice person, but very sarcastic. Tests are hard because nothing is in his lectures that are on his tests! We had one take home exam and that was very difficult and none of the answers could be found and he expects you to know everything!
I would give him a rating -1000. The worst professor I have had in this college . His test are extremely hard and he gives1 take home test for which cant find answers online you have do it your own . No notes or homework but will have to study in your own. I have no idea why this college have him. Dont take this class. Trust me you will suffer.
Prof Dey is a great professor & an expert in law because he's a lawyer by profession. His lectures are interesting but require taking lots of notes to prepare for exams. His exams are not easy, they require serious studying. I recommend recording his lectures because it's easier to study that way. He's a great professor for Business Law
Yeah, no. The tests were a joke, literally everything that he discussed in class were vaguely on the tests. Since he is a lawyer, he uses termonology and the layouts of the tests are weird! Women answer odd numbers, and men answer even numbers? Like what????? Please dont take him for a professor.
Overall he's a nice guy and his lectures are funny. He overloads content and test questions are so specific and hard to prepare for. The book is "mandatory" but I didn't get it and I was fine. If you take very detailed notes and pay very good attention you might be able to pass. I believe the class was harder for me due to remote learning bc COVID
I took his online class and wow he really doesn't know how to teach. He did not put any assignments up on canvas. No modules, and the grading scale was very weird. His method of teaching is very strange; he picks on random students to serve as examples in a lesson he's trying to get across but he makes things very confusing. Don't take his class.
Trust me if you need to take this class and he's the only one available, dont take his credits This is by far the WORST professor Ive ever taken. For example he failed an assignment just because it was handwritten and also assigns homework on material he doesn't teach, I can say that with confidence as I'm doing it now. Doesnt even respond emails.
Do not take professor Dey no matter what. You will not pass this class. If u do pass, itll be with a C-. He eats during his lecture, does not record meetings, does not respect his students etc. he is the toughest grader on earth and his tests and quizzes are made by him. He believes his opinion is above everyone elses. He calls on random ppl too.
Professor Dey is a very interesting guy and makes class interesting, relating examples to comedic scenarios and making the class interesting. Very tough grader with his tests and assignments, the answers will seem very clear and they are all trick questions. I think i got the highest grade in the class with a C+. Nice and interesting guy but hard
Guys please just take this class next sem if no other prof is available. he will literally eat your brain and probably give you PTSD. He will not respond to our emails, he will not explain anything about the assignments and lastly, he will not care if you learn. Please don't take him.
Very disorganized when it comes to lecturing. There are no PowerPoint slides provided to help with reviewing for the exams and to understand the concepts. The homework is not instructed clearly and so there is a risk of completing them incorrectly. Tends to lecture way past the class period time. Unfortunately he teaches Ligitation &Family Law too.
Take any other professor but him. I had to drop out during class because i could not understand anything he was saying. He is difficult !!!
When I took Professor Dey class, we had so much fun. He teaches well and we have fun learning. Next time I hope to have him in person, instead remote.
Does Respond to Emails in a timely manner or at all. Loves to hear himself talk. Lecture heavy. Books are never used. Do not buy them! Tests require west law only. If you can avoid taking him, Please do so. He grades things 3-4 weeks after you hand them in. I did well in his class but still view it as a waste of my time and money.
He talked a bunch and I would take notes every day in class but when it came time to take his test they were so hard. Nothing he would lecture about was on the test. The semester started with 30 students when the semester ended there were 10(only 5 showing up daily). He was understanding and pretty funny. If you don't have to take him then don't.
Not recomended, specially for students who are not going to become a lawyer, too difficult.
He let us use all our notes for every test except the first one which helped me pass. I would recommend to always record every lecture and look them over before tests as well as filling out the notes he gives you on canvas. The tests were similar to what we learned, but its based on examples and some terms are worded differently! Overall good class
Bad professor. Cannot study for his tests. He gives you all the notes, but the tests are almost nothing like the notes. Many of the questions ask you to apply certain concepts, concepts he may not have gone over in class or aren't in the notes. Don't even bother looking at the textbook. Hard to understand in class sometimes. Bad prof. Run!
All the bad ratings are accurate except it funnily worked in our favor. He was such a terrible prof.(and he was aware of this) that he passed the whole class. He threw in extra credit in random parts of the test. Always runs to the bathroom mid-lecture. He's a mess but I don't care. As long as I passed.
Disorganized class. The textbook is useless, the first test we took included material that was never covered in class or on his notes. Afterward, tests were open-note, but still not much time was spent reviewing in class. Rigid homework grading, we had 5 tests and 3 homework assignments. Funny guy, but shouldn't be a teacher. Also inaccessible.
