Most Helpful Review
Winter 2025 - Amazing class, phenomenal professor, complex but interesting content, challenging exams. Professor Boss is probably the most caring college instructor I've ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable, always willing to help, and really seems to enjoy teaching. It is definitely doable to get an A (I took the class P/NP but would've gotten an A as a letter grade), but you need to put in time and effort. There was only one small casing assignment while the rest of the grade was entirely dependent on exams (both MC and short answer). If you aren't familiar with law, the jargon at first can seem pretty confusing, but the professor does a great job explaining everything and helping you "get used" to legal terms over time. Everything you needed to know to do well in class was from lecture, and the learning assistants even took notes, which the Professor later edited. However, expect to know everything from lecture in granular detail for the exams. I suspect she knows they're challenging, as she offers a few extra credit points on each of them. Don't be scared to take this class! It's super fascinating and teaches you stuff that's super important for both law and business.
