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
(EE major taking this as tech breadth.) This class was a breeze compared to all the CS and engineering classes I took with this. I can only imagine how much easier it is for the bus econ students taking this class since some of them seemed familiar with some concepts. I recommend that you ignore all the reviews claiming that it was hard to get into the A range. It is more than possible to get an A/A- in this class. I would suggest you to take this class with a friend to study together so you can solidify your understanding of the material by explaining it to each other. Lectures are one day per week, 3 hours, with asynchronous videos every other week for the first half of class and in person for the last few weeks. Live lectures are recorded if you can't make it to class. Very convenient and light workload, especially for those who are tag other time consuming classes already. There is one midterm and one final, and 5-6 homework assignments spread evenly across the quarter, but all homework answers must be explained clearly for which business law principles you're applying otherwise you'll get hella points taken off. Be careful, EVERY point counts! The midterm and final are online, but closed notes. For the tests, some of the questions (maybe 2-3 questions out of 25 for the midterm) are from the lecture slides and the concepts are very similar to the homework. Pretty straightforward if you study for it. Also, you don't need the textbook at all. She gives the course reader for free, so you don't need to buy it, but it's not as useful as her lectures. I also recommend asking previous students for their corrected homework to get full points for the homework to give yourself some flexibility for the tests. Moderately easy A and interesting material for both engineering and bus econ majors. Take this class!!!!!
I expected this class to be decently easy after reading the reviews but I was quickly humbled after taking it. However, it's worth noting that I am not any type of business major, so this class will probably be significantly easier if you have a basic background understanding of business concepts. Grading scheme is: midterm (25%), 5 written assignments (30%) and a cumulative final (45%). Exams were a mix of multiple choice, true/false, and 1-2 short answer questions. Exams were proctored on Zoom. I found the exams to be tough but pretty fair. I think they require at least a few days of preparation, and I'd argue that this is NOT a class where you can study the day before/day of the exam and still get an A. Some of the exam questions are either the same as/similar to homework problems and practice problems done in class. The written assignments are pretty tricky and are graded VERY harshly, and points are taken off for even the most minor mistakes, so try to give yourself ample time to do those in case you are stumped on a problem. Lectures are 3 hours long and were usually asynchronous every other week. Prof Guerin also responds quickly to emails and records each in-person lecture. I firmly believe that this class is interesting and useful but NOT an easy A (it's honestly quite difficult), and I wouldn't recommend taking it during a quarter where you already have a heavy workload.
