HW answers, notes, and practice tests (midterm and final) available. Pre-recorded lectures also available. Email me at ************* at gmail. She gives PTEs to anyone on the first day of class!!

She's rather entertaining. If you don't go to class, you won't get an A. Look over homework questions and course readers - that should be enough to do average on everything. I stopped going to class after midterms and never opened the book, just glanced over the course reader before the final and it was enough to score right about the median on the final.

I would recommend this class to others if they are truly willing to take their time with this class. I was usually average or slightly below average on all the assignments/tests for this class, but it is tough to be at the average. This is not an easy A. If you are lucky you will get an A-, but most likely you will get some type of B. I did not want to be stressed out trying to get an A/A- for this class so I took P/NP. I recommend anyone reading this to take it for a letter grade if you are ok with the probable possibility of getting anything from a B- to a B+.

The class material was interesting and useful. Prof Guerin's lectures were engaging, even over Zoom. The pace/workload is light, with live lectures and a short HW due every 2 weeks. Overall a great lecturer and solid class.

Interesting material and engaging professor. She puts in a lot of details to her course in order to make it engaging. This course mostly requires memorizing the material covered in her lectures and videos. One week there is a live-recorded lecture and the next its videos, which allows students to catch up on studying. Reading the book is not necessary since her course packet is very detailed but its interesting to read, especially if you're pre-law.

I was going to give Prof. Guerin a great review because I heavily enjoyed her class, but then she emailed me a week after grades were posted informing me that my grade had been changed from an A- to a B+ because of an "excel error" that the grader, Wanzhen Zhou, made. This is complete bullshit that they can do this. They taught us in class that a UNILATERAL mistake means the party making the mistake is still held accountable, but they go back on this now. Screw you Jane, I had respect and appreciation for you but no longer now.
FUCK OFF

Very good class!
Selling course reader: text **********

I loved this class. Very reasonable and the professor was so charismatic and funny. I would recommend everyone to take it.

You do not need the textbook or the course reader for this class (and can find the textbook on libgen). Guerin is a professor that solely teaches from experience, which I liked. She gave real world examples for much of the topics we covered, which is always helpful, but especially in Law. You will learn a lot if you're willing to pay attention in class. There is a single midterm and a final, both of which were on zoom. All lectures are recorded on zoom as well, but I'd recommend going to them in person just to get all the nuances of the law she teaches. Overall would recommend, but the class was kind of annoyed with the final grades, as she never released our final grade for the test and just gave us a grade in the class which seemed a lot lower than most people were expecting.

First things first, you have to go to class. The outline is effective only as a supplement (and she simplifies the book, although it is a good idea to read the book - on reserve - as a reference BEFORE the lecture).

A lot of people find the class "tricky," which I can definitely imagine it being, if you're not a native English speaker. But otherwise, if you're fairly good at reading comprehension and the humanities, just keep all the details straight (and they're not ridiculously complex details, either; just a few distinctions in the law in terms of definition or classification of things), and you'll be fine. There isn't that much work, but can I emphasize that you need to attend lecture and THINK while you're there, following along?

Also, Professor Guerin is very nice, amiable, self-deprecating. She's not nurturing in the classic sense (which seems to be a lot of people's requirement for female profs) and can be a bit pleasantly snarky. Expect to laugh. So while she won't mother you, she is responsible in terms of clarifying concepts... and in terms what you generally need in a professor.

As far as grading goes, the midterm was extremely straightforward. Again, keep in mind distinctions between classifications and concepts; nothing is "tricky" on the midterm. Group projects are also straightforward, but try not to lose points on those, since she is rather lenient and you have the benefit of a lot of time and, well, a group to help you! This is a fairly significant portion of your grade, so don't throw something together the night before.

Lastly, I took the final yesterday and felt like I did badly. Secured transactions (you'll know why later) is just more confusing - for me - than anything else in this class. Most people found it reasonable (though a few notches harder than the midterm). I know I will get either a B (owing to lackluster final performance) or an A... I really recommend Professor Guerin.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, most students are Business Econ/Econ students in the class (not that that is necessary at all).
