Professor Jolly's tests only cover her lecture material, so reading the book doesn't help you much besides maybe some more in-depth understanding. Her tests are too short (only 40 multiple choice questions each, and she doesn't proof read them). Yes, they are easy, but they are too short for them to be counting for 30 percent of the grade. Ditzy

Professor Jolly is a very caring professor. You can tell that she is very passionate about law and that she is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. Her class is test heavy. There aren't many assignments, and even then, they are worth very little. I wish I did better on the exams, but she does give you all the resources you need to succeed.

I loved this class and I would highly recommend it to anyone! She is such an amazing person. The only thing that is "homework" is that you have to read some case studies. I HATE reading but the reading is super manageable. If you pay attention, her tests are a breeze, she has no surprises. She makes law so easy and fun! PLEASE TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!

Write down EVERYTHING. I mean everything. Her tests are directly from lectures (word for word sometimes) Including writing down examples, random "extras" like substitution names for things, her tests are with her examples w diff names!! Read the cases and take notes on them (she provides IRACS) OFFER to IRAC/breif cases, she will LOVE YOU FOR IT !

Jolly is the sweetest. She really puts the effort in to make lectures entertaining. The grade is based solely on 2 midterms and a final. The midterms weren't too bad but the Final was more difficult because it was cumulative. If you are willing to come to class, listen, and study you will be successful because her tests are based on lecture.

Her class met twice a week for an 1.5 hours and was just a lecture every class. If you go to class every time & take good notes its very easy to pass with an A.

Professor Jolly is such caring and interesting professor. But there was SO MUCH to memorize, over 400 terms. I am not good at memorizing things so I struggled. The final is worth 40% of your grade. I got only 5 MC questions wrong on one of the midterms which gave me a 70% on the test, even though I studied for like 6 hours.

She says that her powerpoints are amazing but they aren't as good as she makes them seem. She does explain everything in class and it is not written in her powerpoints so you have to attend class. There is a lot of material covered and she talks REALLY FAST sometimes so be a fast typer for her class so you get everything. Her grading is fair.

This class is very interesting. There are many terms to learn but they are pretty simple. She is a good teacher that gives clear examples. This class really didn't take up much time as the grade is only based on tests. This leads to the main issue where if you aren't good at tests and mess up due to pressure your grade will be lower.

Prof Jolly is a lexicon of legal knowledge, and takes great joy in imparting that knowledge upon you. Everything tested is on what she says during lecture, if you can take good, quick notes, and look back on them before the exams, you will do great. If you cheat on exams she is not your professor, very keen during exams. Would love to take her agai
