I really enjoyed taking business law with Professor Guerin. Her lectures were long (3 hours) but remained engaging and fun throughout the entirety of them. Her exams were fair and only covered areas mentioned in the slides and the lectures. Would highly recommend this class and professor.

Professor Guerin is the first professor that I have found super engaging at my first quarter in UCLA. she genuinely cares about her students' success and tries to help you understand law concepts because they can be quite hard to comprehend. she often cracks really funny jokes during her lectures. since the class was hybrid, it was a nice balance of going to lecture and asynchronous work. her exams are very similar to the examples she gives in class and in the homework. as long as you understand the law concepts and be able to apply them, then you're in good shape for the exams!

(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.

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.

Please text me at ‪**********‬ if you have taken this class on zoom. I am taking it next quarter and need the course reader and material.

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

Didn’t even open the textbook. Just write down everything she says, and memorize it before the test. Would also recommend studying the quizlet sets devoted to this class. Easy A.

Best class I have taken at UCLA. The class, and Professor Guerin's teaching style are really interesting. You need to attend every lecture and write down every example. A lot of the test questions come directly from the examples and the practice questions. I also recommend reading the book & taking notes, as I believe some of the test questions came from the book (or at the very least things barely mentioned in lecture, but directly emphasized in the book). Don't buy the course reader because she puts it online.
