He has a sense of humor but is very demanding on questions and tests.
He's tenured...he'll do whatever he wants.

He was the best prof I've had so far

intellectually intimidating, hard tests, but fun to listen to, not a hard grader
as long as you read and come to class you're fine!
smartest man I've ever come across

can be intimidating but a very enjoyable class but go to class and read
Great teacher, but pay attention to the stupid stories and examples!

Should stick to being a lawyer 1st and teacher 2nd
Not much of a profesor. Has some good stories.
Scary at first, but he's actually pretty nice. Has a lot of interesting stories and examples. Go to class and pay attention, you'll be fine. Likes to talk about sports.
He is fun to watch and listen to, but sometimes he doesn't link material to stories very clearly. Being prepared for his class at all times will make you do well in the class, otherwise you might feel stupid at some points.
get this class if you can, it is really fun to go to. One of the friday courses i acually dont regret having!
Glad I took Tom. Funniest prof I ever had. In this institution we are surrounded by academia types like Roscoe and Felton, a couple of country boys who are perfect examples of the knowledge base, yet no real world application. Tom Terrific is the opposite
He's extremely funny and the class is a piece of cake. You will definitely be glad that you signed up for this one. Get to know him..he's a really nice guy. If you need help, just ask him he's very helpful! :)
In BLR 222, summer one, Dr. Anthony asked for a tamale rating. In the fall, he was a little more strict. Dont just pay attention to the notes he puts on the board, but the on-the-side things he says. Be prepared for a difficult first quiz.
rough teacher
Very interesting teacher, makes class fun.
In the beginning I wasn't sure about Tom or the way he taught the class, but once i got used to him his class was a blast and he is a pretty funny guy too.
While he may be somewhat entertaining at first, this wears off eventually. Doesn't really teach very much material at all, but when the test comes around he expects you to know it all.
He is extremely rude and hard
Tom is a pretty cool guy. He actually makes me want to be a lawyer. He doesn't cover a lot of material from the textbook, but his tests are still pretty REEEEEEAAASONABLE! Overall a very good prof.
Funny guy
Doesn't know how to teach....
He is strange at first, but you'll get used to him. He is a really nice guy but he has his quirks and gets off subject all the time (MOVING ONNNNNNN). You'll do a lot of reading and mostly learn on your own.
going on....... he is one prof to take up blr with..u will learn and laugh with him..great sense of humor and makes the class very lively..helpful and understanding..very clear in what he teaches and is a fun prof to take..
Anthony has a very good sense of humor. Plan on reading the textbook yourself and learning it. If you have questions make sure you ask, he is very helpful. He curves his exams so if study a decent amount you'll do well. CLEARLY a good prof to take.

AWESOME!! Take him! He might not cover EVERYTHING in class that is on his test-- but since he lets you have a piece of paper front and back of notes during the test-- there is no reason you can jot down a few notes. CLEARLY he is a great teacher!
Has a weird sense of humor, and does not really cover the cases in class, but is definately willing to talk about them if you've done the work yourself. Very intimidating though!!!!
Awesome teacher!!!take him....makes learning fun, classes go by so fast. Funny yet classy guy
WORST CLASS I HAVE TAKEN AT CMU!!! Doesn't teach the material at all, goes off on 1,000 sprts tangents. I havn't learned a thing at all. Tests are impossible. Most scatterbrained teacher ever. Take this class with another prof and you'll be fine!
He rather spontaneous with things which makes class fun. He doesn't lecture much, but he does cover material. He mostly expects you to do the reading he puts down in the syllabus. He tells you what's on the tests and has many group tests to prepare.
Very funny to have class with, but doesn't teach materials. Gives you a huge packet of long court cases and expects you to read all of it, as well as understand it with little to no help from him. Loves sports. Barely Teaches :( :( :(
Great Teacher very funny
The class is fun and goes by quickly, but it's hard to know where you really stand in the class because he doesn't hand anything back and doesn't use blackboard so you never know your grade. Fairly easy class.
Reminded me of the penguin from the original batman movie with his voice. Has a one of a kind sense of humor and likes to digress a lot into his professional endeavors. Tests are pretty hard, but he curves a lot and if he sees you try hard you'll end up with a good grade.
This guy is a nut job. Half the time he dismisses us from class 5 minutes into it without even lecturing. He doesn't lecture about anything, and hell talk about stuff that has nothing to do with the course, all the time, I'm sitting their thinking what the hell does this have to do with anything?
He is CLEARLY a hilarious guy, but other than that, he should stick to being a lawyer. He never explains anything, all he does is show you cases online, I could look that up on my own. his tests are hard and he NEVER shows you your grades, hard to know where you stand. Even with notes, tests SUCK.
Good, fair teacher. He is very unclear about the material that had to be known for tests, however, so watch out with that. Go to class, put in effort, and you'll do fine.
Hit the main points, but PAY ATTENTION to the SIDE NOTES he makes, they are the key points he places on his exams. Great Guy...don't let him kid ya. He'll take the time to help you, dont be afraid to approach this softy.
If you know how to study your fine. Read the assignments from the sylabus and the class isnt too bad. The people who get in troble grade wise are those who want everything spoon fed to them. His classes are very enjoyable and never boaring
Very Fair Teacher. Put in a good amount of effort and you will earn an A or B. Did the work and got around B's on all tests, ended up with an A.

If you came to college to get an education, I wouldn't reccomend this class to you. If you want a "professor" that will just shoot the breeze all hour, and make obscene comments just for laughs, go for it. He is very unclear, and you will never know your grade is. He WON'T email back so forget it!
No Comments
funny what other people say, just a professor who teaches a college class like a college class. expects attendance and wants participation. if you talk to him after class he'll help with whatever needed. could class to take for yourself as a person to take you out of your comfort zone. Law isnt always main topic but this class will teach alot
GREAT!!!
Tom Anthony is an awesome professor. His examples will crack you up! If you don't like him at first, give it a couple of weeks. He grows on you! Highly recommended! Very easy class if you SHOW UP, DO THE WORK, and TRY! He doesn't expect perfection, just effort. If you like attendance based classes, take him!
Dr. Anthony is a great human being. Will help you out in any way he can. Goes above most prof. at CMU. TAKE HIM FOR BLR!!!
Awesome prof! Be sure to read the cases and know the main points. Reeeeasonable...
Makes it easy to pass, but not to actually learn the material. He jumps around a lot, and talks about a lot of stuff that is irrelevant. He also raises his voice a LOT!
its a ****in class, good class

CLEARLYYYY the best prof at CMU. i loved every minute of this class, he grows on you. Exams are fair if you go to class and read the book. if he learns your name, watch out for the rest of the semester.
Tom Anthony is hilarious - "DID I STUDDER?" Go to class, take the quizzes, study some for the exams and have some common sense - you'll get an A. You won't learn a boatload but you'll have a good time in class and learn a lot about the CMU track team.
Anthony is a person who you will either like or dislike right away, however, most people tend to like him. He does grow on you, so even if you dont like him at first, stick with him. Class is tough, but he gives a curve. Very helpful and easy to understand. Sick to say, but going to class was fun.
The one comment is correct, you will enjoy going to class. Professor Anthony relates to the students and makes class interesting and fun. Don't think that you can just go to class and get an A tho, you still need to read the book and study the notes. But you have to do that for every class, and this ones FUN!!
honestly--i HATED going to class. his quizzes and tests were sooo hard to understand that even he got confused. sometimes he was just downright rude to students and he definitely plays favorites. have fun if u have to take his class.
Nice guy, not the best teacher. I mostly taught myself everything for the class. He likes to talk a lot in class but it is pretty interesting. Allows you to use 1 sheet of paper front and back as a cheat sheet for tests. Outline the chapters on the cheat sheet and you'll do great.
Fantastic teacher, prior to this class i had no interest in law, and after taking Anthony im getting a legal studies minor. He keeps classes very interesting, allows you to use a cheat sheet, tests are long but pretty easy.
Very unorganized. You have no idea what kind of grade you are getting because he never hands anything back. He is always off subject and just calls on people randomly. He tends to always pick on the same kids and pretty much just makes fun of them. Tests were hard, lots of take home quizzes, but you'll never know your grade.
Great teacher, really interesting. He will do anything to help and also makes this class worth going to.
Great Lectures and fun class to go to.
Great Teacher, went out of his way to help me. If you show interest in his class he will show interest in you...Funny guy!! For sure a great choice
Gives very engaging, interesting lectures. The work often seems difficult, however he doesn't expect to see anything amazing and often grades fairly; sometimes with too much of a curve. The class is pretty loosely organized but you get out of it what you put in (as it should be, in my mind.) Would definitely take him again.
this guy is a joke. he is down right rude to students. if he picks on u the first day of class, he will pick on u the whole semester. i didnt learn anything because his lectures are scattered and unorganized and he calls on students and expects them to know the answer to everything. if u can take the class with a different prof. i recommend u do so
He was funny, always made jokes, don't take him too seriously because he's always kidding around, if you ask for a test he will give you one so don't joke back lol, don't rely soley on notes & make sure you read the book, not a very difficult class as long as you attend. The bare minimum you could get on a quiz was a 60% as long as you showed up, o
Great teacher! Lectures can be kind of scattered, but he is very helpful and gives you ALL of the information needed for the tests. I reccomend you read, and don't take his critisim too seriously, he's got an odd, yet funny, sense of humor.
If you go to class, you are going to pass with a good enough grade. He doesn't really teach you anything but is a fun teacher. Just pray he doesn't learn your name the first day of class.
i have had tom for BLR 202,235, and 302...and there is a reason for that..he is the man..yes, he has an obvious sense of humor and if you take it personally you are what he calls a "dillweed"..however he will teach you things you need to know for the rest of your life..if you come to class and pay attention..you will get an A..and learn alot
By fair my favorite Prof!!! I'm not even going into anything related to business law, but he made this class SO much fun! Despite all the jokes and fun I did learn a lot especially for having no prior knowledge of the subject he made everything very clear and grade VERY fair!
Terrible prof. Like any lawyer he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
He is a very nice guy, you don't learn that much in class because he just teaches you things "he thinks are important" It was a good class and there were lots of laughs but he is a flirt and girls hope he doesn't learn your name
This class is pretty easy, most of the exams were take home, the notes and google covered most of the questions asked. He doesn't require that you attend, but it would be in your best interest. If you don't understand, go to his office hours, he will explain.
Hes nuts. Extremely whitty. You'll learn a lot, but not necessarily about Law. He keeps the class entertaining. The LOWEST grade you can get on anything is a 60% so you wont fail. Take him unless you hate being "goofy-ly picked on" in class.
This guy is awesome. He is definetly an attorney..haha He is loud and unpredictable and very smart. I looked forward to going to this class everyday. He tries his best to make it easy on you to learn as much as possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Very interesting class! He is a great professor...very interesting and class goes by quickly! I would take him again! only downfall-you never know your grade throughout the semester!
I enjoyed his class a lot. Though he does have some very random moments where he gets very off topic!
I have had him multiple times and he is by far one of my favorite professors. He will keep you on your toes but is very understanding and helpful. He will do everything in his power to make sure you accomplish a good grade. Take him, you will not be sorry!
This class was agony. He routinely put down students, was loud and obnoxious, and never gave a straight answer. His tests were easy if you read out of the book. It was the only way that I learned anything in this class. The only reason to go to this class was to either laugh at the poor kid he was teasing or be humiliated by him.
Bottom Line.. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! He is funny but teaching wise he is horrible. His jokes are some what funny but yeah take someone else if you can.
His teaching is astronomical! He's so great, and HILARIOUS! TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM.
Tests are quite difficult but he curves them all. Allows cheat sheats which is great. YELLS ALL THE TIME! You'll never fall asleep in this class. I found it super easy to get an A, but I think you need to go to all the classes in order to have an idea of what he is talking about. Likes to pick on students.
Great Professor, Would take him again in a heart beat. He tends to pick on kids but if you are one of them and get on his good side you will be fine, he picks on a select few, several quizze, 3 exams , Rather Easy A if you go to class

If you plan on having a clue what the class is on try someone else. I thought i was going to fail but got an A- some how. Funny dude.
He is not all bad as a person, but it was an awful class. He does not teach. He never responded to multiple emails that I sent him. You should do fine in the class, but don’t plan on actually learning anything. He did not grade anything for our class until the end of the semester. So I never knew my grade for the class. Take a different professor!!
Dr. A was by far my favorite professor thus far at CMU. Although he isnt the easiest professor, he is by far the most interesting. Never a dull moment in class and VERY LOUD. Have to go to class to learn stuff that will be on exam but makes every class worth it . If he learns your name, youll be used in every example but that just means he likes u
Dr. Anthony does a good job keeping the class involved which I like, however it is very difficult to read what he writes on the board and the way the questions are worded on quizzes and exams can be very difficult to interpret. Go to class every day, you never know when attendance quizzes may pop up
Just finished this class today- Dr. A. is awesome- if you are willing to show up and do the work. True- his test questions can be tricky but if you know your material, it's still an easy A. Highly recommend.
