LAW 711
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
He taught this course like it was a philosophy class. He would rarely tell us what he thought the correct answer was, he would assign an absurd amount of cases and then say he didn't care about half of them and skip over them during lecture, he gave us practice exams with no answer keys and he left to France the week before our exam and ghosted us.

LAW 711
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Yackee is great at teaching contract law. He is very knowledgeable and is really good at making it the topic approachable for a first-year law student. He makes an effort to know everyones name, and he is easily accessible outside class. To succeed in his class, you just have to read carefully and pay attention in lecture.

Very nice and easy to reach! He gave a manageable amount of readings (!!!) and portrayed information in a practical way. Really great experience!
