Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Literally the best professor I ever had!! He was freaking amazing and you can tell how much he cared about us as students. One of the only professors I've ever had that was genuinely concerned about us learning and growing rather than like strict grading and assignments. Also, his teaching style was so clear and the assignments we had were helpful

Professor Brown of the best professors I've at had UW. He is a very passionate, intelligent, and excellent instructor who puts in a lot of effort to make the material approachable. He breaks things down really well, but it's a lot of info so you're screwed if you fall behind. Super understanding and flexible on deadlines if you communicate.

Professor Brown was great for legal writing. Obviously, as a previous attorney and current legal writing professor at the law school, he knows what he's talking about. Funny and relatable, I would 100% take another class with him! Grading is a bit intense as it is mostly just two legal briefs and two exams that make up your grade, but not terrible

LAW 723
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
A very interactive professor that tries to come up with new activities to learn and understand the material better. Has a good sense of humor, is receptive to feedback and what you'd like to understand more of, and is willing to meet with you outside of class so long as you are prepared to ask questions. Reading is necessary for the final exam.
