Verches was a cool professor. Good dialect in his class, and its easy to voice ones opinion. The class though is not very structured. we didnt have our midterm until week 7 and not that it wasnt easy to do, but it was a challenge. Verches class was fun, especially during the mock trials. It was fun being the supreme court justice! THe final ended up being 12 pages long on the different cases we covered in class. He understands when people miss or are late. He just wants you to show up. Being active and participating really helps a lot. Its a good class and you will learn a lot if you put yourself into it. Also make friends in his class and ask questions. DO study groups they help! One thing i didnt like was that he was hard to reach by email. He cares a lot about his students.
