Fall 2023 - For a 5 unit class, this was one of my more chill classes for the fall quarter. I was surprised by how chill and understanding Bill was during this class. Assignments were not difficult at all, written assignments were at best always 2 pages max. The TA in this class was very engaging and understanding; if you needed an extension for any reason, Bill would give it to you. The final for this class was confusing, though the professor admitted it was his first time doing it. While he said he would probably move back to a test final the next quarter he teaches this class, overall Bill was just chill and engaging every time considering I was expecting a significant amount of work for this class.

Summer 2020 - The professor was amazing and super helpful. I would recommend this class to pre-law students and even those in the education route. There are readings which can be very difficult to get through but the professor provides very concise notes on them. I enjoyed this class especially since he is willing to talk about current legal issues and provides extra resources to learn more about them. The final exam was very much what I would expect from a law exam, but if you study his notes for the reading you should be fine. He is also super helpful. I am not a law student but this class really sparked an interest in me to study law.
