They make up 90% of the grade the other 10% is a final exam that is online and only 10 questions. This class is extremely easy and its almost impossible to not manage a B. And collons is funny and does not take any attendance.

3 stars because his course is completely neutral. The midterms mostly from the practice quizzes, and the final is online. If you take the practice quizzes twice before the exam and basically remember the answers, you will get A's. However, you learn absolutely nothing during class time. He makes you have name tags, is a little creepy towards attractive girls, and just lectures straight from the powerpoints which are all available online. Supposedly attendance earns you extra credit because he gives out smiley faces, but I don't know if he remembers when it comes grading time. Easy A, but don't expect to learn much.

This guy reminds me of George W. Bush. He sounds like him when he talks. Overall funny guy, always trying to sell you somethin that he owns. He changes and drops questions off the tests as you take them, and grades them easy, they are multiple choice. Don't wear a hat, or show up late, or miss class, cause he will make an example of you. I would retake him again, he's a smart dude, and gives the students a chance to do well in the course. DEFINATELY will do well if you are a girl and you are hot. (Dirty Old Man)

Collons is pretty good. If your a girl he will creep on you, so watch out for that. He's just an old guy that likes to mess with college students. He'll toss questions to people that aren't paying attention but won't care if you tell him you don't know. At least he's got a good sense of humor.



His tests are easy as hell if your good at remembering the answers to the practice quiz questions. They are exactly the same. Also the final is online which is a plus.

A good guy all around, his workload is pretty light and he is an older guy so he has alot to speak about. Though that is one of his drawbacks if you want to learn he goes off on crazy tangents, however if he doesnt cover something he wanted to that day or did so only briefly he will remove the question from the tests.

I took freedman before him and would reccomend both of these professors for any of your law classes.

Pros: The practice quizzes online are used for the midterms. SAME EXACT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!! Powerpoints are online. The final is online. You have 15 minutes to complete it, but it's 10 questions.
Cons: He tries very hard to make the class interesting and fun, but puts more to sleep than he entertains.
No need to get the book or go to lecture. The material for the exams are online. Except the final.

Professor Collins is knowledgable about the topic; however, he seems to forget that the class is not comprised of lawyers-to-be. At timeshe covers the material too quickly and not in any great detail. He tends to talk about his ranch out West and his mother, odd combination. His tests aren't too difficult, but you do have to read the text, take practice quizzes, and study. Attendance is a smiley face if you answer a question correctly, so I'm not sure if it affect your grade. He'll grill for an answer and makes you think on your feet. So, if you're looking for an easy, do nothing A class, then don't take him. Overall, he's not a bad teacher, but not my ideal teacher. I'd take him again.

Pros: Nice professor

Curve a lot

Easy A

Cons: None
I took his night class. it was a four-hour class but we never get get out later than 8:30. 2 mid-terms and a final. The midterms count 45% each and the final counts 10% of your grade. Class participation will be used if you are on the borderline between grades. Most of the questions on exams are from the online quizzes.There's a ethic case have to be done if you are a lebow student. But you only need to put it onto webfolio and it's not calculated in grade.

Class is boring but he tries to make it fun.

Favors girls, does not teach. Exams are straight from practice quizzes. Anyone who knows how to use Bb vista can pass this course, but I'm paying Drex for instruction not reading. Very disappointed.

he knows what he is talking about and is willing to provide real life explanations if you don't understand.

just try to pay attention in his lectures (which he usually ends early). he also goes off topic frequently and talks about his ranch.



he will sometimes call on a person and grill them for answers but if you were listening to what he just said you will be able to answer.



DO HIS PRACTICE EXAMS ON WEBCT!!!!

all the questions from his exams are taken from the practice exams and are the same EXACT questions just in different orders. that's all you have to do to get a good grade.



if you participate he writes down a smiley face for you on his notes. this may help your grade.

Possibly one of the dumbest old men ever!!! Did not learn one thing in his class. I ended with a good grade but that is because he takes the questions exactly from the practice quizzes. So if you want a good grade then I definitely suggest taking him. If you actually want to learn stuff don't take him. If you do take him don't ask questions because he will literally tell you that you are dumb! Overall, he is just an old man that has no idea what he is talking about. Oh and you can't forget about his dog and cat both named Snuffy!

He's a nice guy and is very knowledgable about the subject. Unfortunately there isn't any structure to the course, he just expects you to read the book and show up to class. The lectures consist of random stories and picking on students that may have missed the last class. No homework and his tests are pretty easy (all multiple choice).

I don't recommend him if you really want to learn a lot about business law, but if you are just taking this to fulfill a requirement, his class is fine.

This guy is a pretty good teacher. He loves to harass his students in a humorous way. He once harass a student throughout the entire class about looking for a black $50 futon and he some how found a way to include it in his lecture just for pure laughs. If you pay attention and go over the notes, you should be able to pull off atleast a B. His exams are ok, some questions can be a bit tricky. But definitely not a hard class.

He's an interesting old guy that tries to engage his pupils, but fails to do so. Instead, it feels more like he's poking fun at the kid who sits in the back or anyone who doesn't seem to be paying attention. I haven't gone to class much since I realized his two exams are only composed of his online practice questions.

Nice guy, likes to harass the students so if you get offended easy you should not take it. Pretty girls be careful...he haresses them the most. Easy grader! Sometimes his teaching method is kind of confusing but after going over it several times you get the hand of it.
