Too easy a teacher. He only teaches about 5 minutes of each class. The other 70 minutes he is repeating the same examples over and over. People fall asleep in this class and he doesn't care. His tests are easy and he gives you free points and curves the grade dramatically. A 54% on a test will net you a D (65% equivalent).

Grade: Drop/Withdrawal
Apr 21, 2024

Professor O'Connor is the only teacher that I have ever dropped a class from. His homework assignments DO NOT MAKE SENSE. You have his notes he has written out and you think you got the right answer, nope. He never responds to emails, so good luck. I would not take him at all. BEWARE!!!! P.S He does not grade anything, so you don't know your grade,

He was so bad, constantly confusing us with other classes. There were so many materials he did not give us and chapters he did not go over but claimed we did. He uses chat gpt for most of his questions and even the right answers are wrong. I 100% would not recommend if you need a good grade in this class.

Don't believe the poor ratings. I just took a course with him. Pay attention to his videos and read his lectures/power points.. there is no reason not to get an A in this class. He's a slow grader, but all you need to do is focus on his obvious hints. Everything was open book/notes. He can be tricky, but the simplest answer is the correct answer.

He is always ready to teach, but at his age, he tends to forget what he did last class or what he was going to teach that day so he wings his lectures sometimes. His lectures are good though. He is also a very slow grader, you won't get your first homework assignment grade until a month later.

Does he take a long time to grade and make typos? Yes. If you get below an A did you not try? Yes. Bottom line: if you're trying to study and understand the material, he truly does give you what you need and allows you to contact him directly at any time. But, the class is online and easy to just get by without really applying urself.

He's a caring professor who tried hard to make us participate in his class and would always find different ways to explain material if you didnt understand it. Sometimes he would forget which lecture he was supposed to give us, mostly because everything he teaches comes from having them all memorized. He takes a long-time grading assignments though

He is a good teacher who has very insightful experience from he law career. Relates topics in class to cases he personally had and will make you understand the material. A laid back teacher with clear grading criteria. If you show up and do the work I don't see how you can get below a B, this is a class I can say I learned something from.

Professor O'Connor is just a great guy. Charming, intelligent, and understanding. He gives students great chances at passing his classes and helps you out if you've fallen behind or missed a quiz/test. Great teacher.
