Enjoyed the class. Especially when students were able to mix it up.

I had a three-hour class with Durfield and he broke up the "learning" time and "fun" time in a way where we wouldn't get bored but still achieved our goals for the class. He does talk a lot about himself but he relates it to what we are learning in the class, which helped me understand things better. Also, he had the class discuss on a daily basis and work in groups from time to time which was very refreshing compared to other professors who lecture everyday.

ive taken almost all his classes. i love taking him because i know ill learn and it will be easy. he really wants everyone to succeed and will offer extra credit if needed. a little intimidating at first but a real cool chill guy. gives online quizzes every week (super easy) and a few tests. your mostly tested on what u talked in class. TAKE HIM

Goooddddd, and enjoy on the journey go to higher education from him. Have a good one, y'all. Thumb ups!!!

Dr. Durfield wants students to succeed in his class. I disagree with some of the negative comments. If you show up to class and do the work that is outlined in your syllabus, you will pass with ease. He makes the syllabus for every class crystal clear. Attendance and participation are important. He's awesome!

Yes he talks about himself, but he does it in a way that relates to the topic he is teaching. I really learned a lot from him and the test were actually easy, I got A's on all of them. He has a very good sense of humor, very sarcastic so if you can't take a joke don't take him. Do your work, by the deadlines and you'll be fine!

I took 3 of his classes. Business 101, Business Law, and Real Estate. He was a great professor all three times. If you do your work, show up and participate he will like you, which will work in your favor if you ever need to make something up. Really nice guy, and incredibly smart. I would highly recommend him!

BY FAR THE FUNNEST CLASS I HAVE TAKEN AT CITRUS. You have to attend the lectures. Hes strict on attendence. Very interactive class. His lectures have little to do with the tested material. you need the book! DONT MISS ASSIGNMENTS he only gives 4. If you dont turn one in youre screwed. but theyre easy points.

Awesome class Durfield is a good teacher but he can be sarcastic and mean, he's not one to play with or be disrespectful to... BUT if you ask him for help in the right way he will help you, after making sure you've exhausted all your own means 1st... he also bought us pizza which was cool i recommend him!!

He's a great teacher but he doesn't really help you unless you talk to him after class. He always recommends you to the syllubus when you have a question on a project or when something is due. When you need guildence on a project he'll only tell the class once and everything will be on the syllubus. Active/ fun class.

I had an awesome time in Dr Durfields class. He had tons of knowledge. You have to read his syllabus, before you ask questions.

So far, Durfield has shown to be a very articulate teacher. He has that capability where he can relate to himself or experiences he has been through and shows us how it relates to business ethics.. I also really like how we touch on subjects from today and discuss if they are ethical or not..

I took Durfield for 101 and am now taking him for 160(online). As a professor in the classroom, he is passionate and his class is absolutely captivating (you will get a B if you follow the syllabus!). For his online class, he is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. Would I take him again (IN PERSON)in the future? YES! online? HECK NO!

He is a great teacher I have taken 3 of his c lasses and I can say he is such an amazing professor.i love his classes.

He is a great teacher I have taken 3 of his c lasses and I can say he is such an amazing professor.i love his classes and I definitely will be taking him again.

All you have to do is read the book and you should be good. Also his tests/quizzes were online so you have no reason to miss them.I understood what he wanted us to do. He is also a very interesting teacher, fun to have, and keeps your interest with all the jokes. Textbook, buy it, you NEED IT. I'm even thinking of taking him winter for Bus 160

I LOVED this professor. He has so many experiences in business that he shares with the class. If there's anyone to look up to on campus on the subject of business he's the guy! He inspires and also, from time to time, gives great advice! Great professor. But to pass his class you will definitely need the textbook!

He is an amazing teacher, he not only helps you learn the material expected but offers personal insight on why rules are what they are. Great motivational speaker, and is passionate about YOU learning and getting ahead. Offers great pointers on what to study for the test. I wouldn't mind taking any class he taught, he's just that great.

As a professor his job is to prepare you for your later life. His expectations are not unfounded and he clearly states them in the syllabus, so naturally he doesn't tolerate excuses. Forego the superficiality and he really is a transformative leader and intriguing person who applies the business lessons to current events. Unmotivated student beware

I have taken Professor Durfield for one lecture class and two online classes. He very much likes to talk about himself so that is why I now stick to his online courses. The material is very clear and his assignments are easy. As long as you do the work each week it is easy to earn an A. I have deliberately taken all of my bus classes with him.

I took Professor Durfield for Spring 2013 for intro to Business and Business Law in the legal environment I in summer 2013 along with 2 other classes. It was really a lot of work but well worth it. He is a wonderful teacher. Lots of homework but really relevant to what we need to know as being in a Business Major.

Professor is knowledgable about business, law, and life. He is aggressive in a good way and he enjoys to debate with other students. Overall, the courses are fairly easy as long as you keep up with the readings.

8-wk online course. Syllabus is >5 pages& describes everything in detail! This class was super easy for me. READ the notes he provides-he outlines the IRAC for you. Syllabus breakdown: 5 online multiple choice cengage assignments-25%, 3 written IRACs-15%, 3 online multiple choice cengage exams with an IRAC for each-60%.

He's extremely smart and knows what he's doing. I regret not trying harder in this class. All assignments are clear. Make sure you check the online homework all the time. I missed a test due to not checking the assignments everyday. He reminds you the day of the test so if you dont check everyday, it is easily missed. Tests are 20% of your grade.

Durfield was amazing and I would take this class over again for sure. Seems tough at first but is actually quite easy for the average student. All quiz's and tests are online but they are all pretty easy PLUS he curves them. Your class practically becomes family to you. Great Experience.

took him for winter and was not so bad. do all the reading and assignments online or its very easy to get behind. overall i learning so much in his bus. class and looking forward to take him again.

Best teacher I've ever had at Citrus College

Just follow the syllabus! Pay attention, do the work and enjoy the lectures!

Good topics and discussion. He will call on you and try to get you involved.

Pay attention to the syllabus!! Most of your attendance grade concerns will be answered there. Great guy and very sarcastic so beware of that in which most cases its funny but hey everyone is different! Gives a lot of life advice and will teach you things that you never even thought about in relating to business and finance.

Durfield is a super cool professor, very fun guy. Just read the text and this class will be easy, and possibly the highlight of your day.

Distance education may seem intimidating to some, but this professor is excellent and it shows that he wants the best for his students. You do the work, a grade reflecting your efforts will be given fairly. Would take one of his courses again, absolutely.

You either like him or you don't. If you don't like to be put on the spot & made fun of from time to time this isn't the class for you. His lectures are interesting and will probably be the highlight of your day. Requires a lot of reading & participation. If you take his law class get ready to work! Great professor, wants you to pass.

To say Durfield is amazing is an understatement. One of the most amazing professors i've ever had. Negative comments generally come from people who don't like to participate and that's their fault. He cares about his students more than they even know. He appreciates participation and hard workers. Make an effort, and you'll do great. He's the best.

I took this course during the winter, hybrid. The material is interesting. The course isn't very difficult. 3 exams. Weekly assignments based on chapter. IRACs are the most difficult part. More of a legal class than a business class. Attendance wasn't required for the hybrid course. Went the first day... He seemed alright to me.

He is a great professor. But with that being said, this is a LAW class and many people forget that. It's a lot of work and reading and if you don't do read, you'll definitely fail. Take this class if you're serious about law/business. If you just need another elective, steer clear.

Professor Durfield , is an amazing professor, he really does care about his students. The class is not hard but you do have to put in the work, Participation is very important in his class, he is a funny professor who can go off topic but he expects his students to read the material. He teaches you things about the bus world that you will need use!

Best teacher I have had by far (Sophomore year at Citrus). Super inspiring and wants to teach students about true life skills. He's very knowledgeable and has quite the life experiences. Very interactive and hilarious. Expects much of students because he believes they EACH are capable of succeeding. Very thankful for him, regardless of the grade.

Not sure why other students say he talks too much. Isn't that why we're in college - to learn! This professor cares about his students, understands business and has an excellent teaching style.

Learned more about real life in this class than in any class ive ever taken. You have to be willing to talk. the assignments and tests are online and if you do them you will do well.

Annoying how much participation matters

Great and very funny professor, especially when he unexpectedly turns the spotlight on me. But he can be a little off-topic on lectures.

Great professor! I'm currently taking him. People who say he picks favorites over others, he does not! He just likes people who talk and volunteer in class, just like any other professor would! Attendance is very important. You can do all the work and still fail the class if you miss too many days. Being late is half an abscent. Overall he's great.

PARTICIPATION IS A MUST! It's worth 10% of your grade. (I got 50/100 because i only participated a couple of times) Quizzes and tests are online and you can take them over 'till you're satisfied with your grade. He's pretty damn funny and his lectures are pretty interesting. Overall a great teacher! Can't wait for his business law class.

Participate and show up for all the test and do your homework and this will be the best class ever, caring professor

The best class Ive ever taken at Citrus.

This is a class that changed my life. Although you need to read and pay attention, students learn so much in this class. This is my third class with Durfield, I wish I could take all my business classes with this professor.

Durfield is a pretty fantastic professor. He 100% knows what he's talking about and pretty much all you have to do to ace this class is do the online assignments (which are essentially impossible to fail). If you listen to the lecture you'll absolutely understand what's going on. Do make an effort to ask questions if you want participation points.

He's not that bad. Everyone is just entitled. He is very clear on his rules, all you have to do is follow them. He doesn't round grades up and it is stated on the syllabus. You need to read his syllabus and not act surprised when he enforces it. Reading through his syllabus would give the most accurate representation on who he is as a person.

Don't listen to the bad reviews on this professor. I've taken 3 of his classes already and he is a really incredible teacher. He makes everyone laugh in the first 15 minutes of class and cares about all of his students. He's inspired me more than any teacher I've had. Just do the online assignments and care about the class a little. He's great.

This is my 2nd online class I have taken with Durfield. He makes sure the course is available with all the requirements 2 weeks before the semester has started. He has a clear and detailed syllabus of what he expects. No surprises with him. On most exams he adds points or ups the percentage.

He does not go much by the book but is very friendly and gives great life skill advice. Tests do go by the book. Traditional lecture has some online work but it is very easy.

Professor Durfield is one of the best instructors I've had. I learned a lot in this class. He is very clear and upfront about what he expects from students as well as his grading criteria. Pay attention to detail in this class and you will do well.

If you read the chapters you will pass! Is crucial to do the online assignments on cengage. The iracs were a little difficult but as you start reading the chapters it gets easier. Straight forward, do the work and you will pass.

Understanding professor, gives great feedback, and encourages communication. Strongly suggest to take his on-campus course because he's very caring and respected. To gain stronger communication skills as needed in Business, meeting him on-campus is the way to go. He has AMAZING active lectures that require your input, not boring or lecture heavy :)

This Professor is very knowledgeable in Business and Business Law. Care about his student and their success. You have to put in the time and effort into your assignments as you will also need to in the business world. If your considering a career in Business or Business Law you need to take his class as you will be more that prepared.

Great professor, synthesizes the material well; and is always ready to help students when they need it. Lays exactly what needs to be done to do well in his class and sticks by it.

I took his eight weeks BUS160 online course and thought the course was alright. You have to read four chapters a week, write three IRACs, and write three additional IRACS for every exam. Also, a disclaimer, GET THE CITRUS COLLEGE EDITION BOOK, you will fail the class without it. It has the supplemental material necessary for the IRACs.

I've taken a couple classes with professor Durfield, mostly online and I have to say, he is a great professor and a great guy as well. He's straightforward on the assignments and expectations of the class and so on. He cares about his students and don't be afraid to ask him for help. He can be tough which is fair. Overall, he's awesome and great.

I take the class in tough time that I have online class. There is no Zoom record. I read the book and do the tests. The tests are not to challenge that we just need to read book and I can do it.

Dr. Timothy is a compassionate professor who really cares about his student.

Take his class IN PERSON! I imagine that Dr. Durfield's poor reviews are from online students- he is SUPER helpful. His grading and deadlines and strict, but if you follow his instructions, getting an A in the class in more than doable. READ THE SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL! 10/10 would take again! Future Law students will benefit greatly from his classes

Straight forward class. Zoom meetings not mandatory but go and get extra credit with camera on. Textbook needed for assignments and exams are proctored with camera on but no big deal. 4 exams but drops the lowest. Hw can take a while so do it ahead but you get a week to do it. Overall not a bad class.

I took BUS130 on-line class. My past experience of taking an online class has relied on being independent, disconnected from classmates and the college experience. Professor Durfield made the experience of an online class: fun, connected and open. He shares his experience of travel, entrepreneurship & life to teach his students. Thank you again.

Professor Durfield is a great professor with inspiring and helpful lectures. He gives real life examples in relation to the chapters within the business textbook. If you like to be read PowerPoint slides, this class is NOT for you. I would highly recommend Professor Durfield if you like to learn valuable as well as useful information.

Professor Durfield is an amazing teacher. His lectures were helpful for the class and he does not require participation. He has assignments every week which consists of smart books and other assignments on mcgrawhill. There are a total of 4 tests all weighed the same, his class is easy to pass if you do the reading and assignments.

Took him back in '12 and in comparison of how he teaches from a decade ago, he's eased up A LOT. I had him for 8 wks and no IRACs just cengage assignments, 4 DBs, and 3 exams. The answer to your question is on the syllabus. Don't confuse him not coddling you with being rude. You're an adult; do the work.

In all honesty if you just do the work and put the effort you will get the grade you deserve. You have 3 exams and 1 final. And you do 2-3 discussion boards that are due every Thursday and you have to reply to 2 of your peers by Sunday. It not a hard class at all. It organized and clear on what you have to do. And he does reply to your emails.

This professor is fair and a good teacher of business. He is always helpful and understanding.
