professor moore is so kind and caring, even in zoom lectures and always found a way to make me smile/laugh during class. we had 3 exams during the semester (including the cumulative final) as well as weekly quizzes. the material can be quite dense, but again, professor moore made me want to try to understand it. if you have the opportunity to take it-- do it! the content is quite helpful to know and it was taught in such a great way.

This is a very good class. You learn a lot, and Prof. Moore is great at explaining things. That being said, it is not the greatest course in the history of the universe as some people say. But that is ok! It is still very good. If you want to know about the law, this is the introduction you need! There is a lot of material but Prof. Moore gives great real-world examples and applications. If you are thinking about law school 100% you should take this. No reading, just weekly collab quizzes and then 2 tests and a final.

Moore is the GOAT. She made Zoom class interesting and she's just a super nice, cheery person in general. We had open note exams cuz Zoom, but for the future make sure to go to lecture, that is all the info you need to succeed for quizzes/exams. Do the extra credit early in the semester (it's easy and nice to get out of the way). Exams were pretty straightforward and the 2nd midterm and Final are much more application-based (for example, reading about an incident and determining what legal concept is in play) but if you show up and take notes from her outline, you'll be fine. I barely missed a B+ but oh well lol I still loved the class and it's useful info for sure!! Sometimes the topics can be a bit boring, but Sherri definitely makes it interesting and bearable by giving funny jokes or examples, she is super relatable for students and I see why so many people love her as a person! She also dropped our two worst quiz scores so do not worry if one or two don't go as well!!

Sherri Moore is awesome. She is so funny and extremely nice. Having it be online this semester for covid, all the lectures were uploaded online which was really nice because you could go back and re-watch every lecture if you were confused on things. There is no homework so if the class is online, I suggest you rewatch every lecture on double speed to take better notes as your homework for the class. This will ensure you get a good grade. One huge thing to note is that you need to not forget to take any of the quizzes! I forgot to take two of them and got an A- in the class because of it. I calculated my grade and if I had remembered to take the quizzes I forgot I would have gotten an A. All in all a very good class.

Fun class! You learn a lot! Great way to figure out whether you might be interested in law. Perfect for people who really don't know anything about the law. The professor is super nice and engaging. Her final lecture is amazing. TAs are very knowledgeable and helpful. Command-F on tests is crazy helpful given the online format. The only issue with the class is how poorly formatted the notes are.

Take your notes online. The tests are open note during COVID times and it will help a lot. The review sessions with the TAs were also helpful.

Professor Moore is my favorite professor at UVA. She easily relates to students and gives real-life examples of which students can relate. A couple of notes on the format of the class: firstly, there are weekly quizzes. Sometimes, these quizzes became annoying and forced you to pay attention to lectures' most meticulous details. If you missed them, you likely did not fare well on quizzes. Other than weekly quizzes to keep you in check, there are two midterm exams. The exams were doable, but they were not a walk in the park. You needed to study for the exams and to read each of the questions carefully. The same goes for the final: there are 100 questions and if you did not have the stamina to get through the final, you would mightily struggle. By no means is this class an easy "A." An "A-" is attainable, but is with consistent with lots of studying and attending EVERY lecture.

Great professor and class. It's not a business law class though, it's more general legal stuff and covers things that you should know concerning law and your rights. I think it's a good class to take even if you are not very interested in law or business, although some people disagree. The class consisted of two midterms, weekly quizzes and a final. The only outside work are short daily readings/videos and studying for quizzes and tests. However, the cutoff for an A is high (95) and there is a lot of information covered quickly, so it can be tough to get an A. #tCF2020

This class was a class that I had had high hopes for considering I had so many friends recommending it, and who loved Sherri Moore. My experience with the class is that Prof. Moore was nice, and she was funny and the class was interesting and relevant, and informed me of a lot that is good to know however, the class gave so much information so quickly and it was hard to keep up and know what you really needed to focus on when it came to exams. It was a lot. This is not a class I would recommend to people to take as an easy A or just to take as a free elective unless you have a genuine interest in law of some kind or comm.

This class requires work and a lot of studying. Sherri Moore is a great professor and the class itself is very applicable to the real world, however, I don't think it's an easy A. She talked pretty fast during the lectures, so I tried to get down as much information as possible and then rewrote my notes after class which took a while. The weekly quizzes were pretty straightforward but it does take time to study for them. I did well on the quizzes however the tests were pretty difficult. It is almost all application-based, so I recommend going through examples of the material and make sure to write down examples she mentions in class. Your grade is all based on quiz and test scores which can be difficult if you are not a good test taker like me. After our transition to online classes, Sherri was very sweet and accommodating which was so nice. She made our last test and final open notes which eased A LOT of stress. However, you still need to study despite it being open notes because it is all apllication based and requires and in-depth understanding of the material. I worked very hard in the class and ended with a B (even with extra credit) which was pretty disappointing so if you are not a good test taker and really care about your GPA, I would not recommend this class. However, the material itself was pretty interesting at times so if you are interested in law or want to be an informed citizen, then this is a good class to take.
