For those who take the Online course, go to the live classes even if they aren't mandatory because they really help answer any questions you are having.  Do your work early! Taking your time with interactives and Case summaries helps you absorb the information better and clarify the content. Ashley C.

The class seems intimidating, and the coursework looks lengthy, but Professor Crist is patient, flexible, and an advocate for discussion. If I ever had a question or needed further explanation to understand something, she worked with me to make sure I learned the work.  Focus on learning, not on deadlines.  Miles G.

The class name (Business Law) sounds more overwhelming than what it actually is. As long as you do your assignments you will be A-OK!   You can do anything you set your mind to. There is a quote that I love, it is, "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "IM POSSIBLE". If you set your mind to pass you will. Just try to stay motivated. (:   Alexis V.

From my experience in the beginning it was very intimidating and the first couple of weeks felt overwhelming, I even debated on dropping but stuck with it.

It is a really great and very educational class. I learned a lot. I had anxiety at the beginning of the class, but when I got to know the teacher, I became confident in my strength. You are the best teacher I have ever had. For future students, I would say get rid of your anxiety about the course and they will also be able to be successful in the course. I had a great time in this class.  Natalia P.

To relieve anxiety about the course, not the entire book is used, and while writing for a legal course might seem rather strict and intimidating, Prof. Crist and our librarians at MJC are more than willing and able to help in this regard.  Divide your assignments into smaller pieces to complete each day. Don't leave them for the last minute, especially on a day where three quizzes and three Interactive activities might all be due. This strategy is also helpful when approaching the Midterm paper. Cristian M.

The communication in the announcements always made me feel engaged with and informed on what was expected for the weeks to come.  The work was never too overbearing and felt like it was oriented to be that way.  Each week was slightly different from the next which was nice as well to not have to stick to such a stiff schedule. As long as you review all the material that is given to you within each week's module, there should be no reason for one to feel lost or confused. All the information is very straightforward and at the end of the day, there are so many resources to reach out and get help from the professor themselves or even just other students.  Keep a schedule of each week's work and cross it off as it gets done, repeat for every week. This strategy helped me ensure that I wasn't missing any assignments (due to this being an online class) and was making sure I submitted everything on time with time to prepare for next week. It is also very satisfying have a page full of work crossed out that you know you've completed.  Matthew K.

Pick a midterm project you are passionate about. It made it a lot easier to complete the projects. Take it one week at a time and don't get overwhelmed by it all. Case summaries are not as difficult as they seem. Just read through slowly and multiple times. Take notes as you're reading. And good luck. Krystal F.

Take the class a week at a time, be aware of the assignments ahead but do not focus on them. The workload as a whole can seem overwhelming but if taken a week at a time the work load seems to lessen.   To be successful in the course do the interactives as soon as possible, they are relatively quick and can be done in a day or two, which leaves room for other assignments. Isaac B.

At the beginning there are some challenges, but do not hesitate of learning be confident of your self, those people they are confident they are successful in their life. To be successful in the course the students should maintain good attendance and not miss class. What is taught by the teacher can't be learned by the student by himself, and the student should pay more attention to the teacher.  Mohammad

While reading the cases write down any word that you might not understand it’s full meaning, and then take the time to look it up before you reread the case. This helped me many times during the course.   The best way to be successful in this class is to ask questions, and if there is something that you still don’t get please let the professor know. She will go over step by step with you. I had done this on different occasions. Therefore I strongly recommend this! Oh one last thing is not to miss class. It is very important!

A few words of wisdom for the wisdom wall;First of all, do not be intimidated by the million and a half page text. Yes the text is huge. Full of information, lingo and cases. Focus on your chapters and cases. You will not be reading the whole text.Second, Follow the template as your guide for case summaries. Don't try to turn an established case into your own. If you aren't sure reach out to your group for some input. Together is better.The third is pretty basic. Go to class. You will retain more information than you think just by going to class and listening. Don't fall behind on the assignments. It can be daunting trying to play catch up on assignments and case summaries.All the Best,Angel

Whatever your workload may be, there are times you may get overwhelmed, but always remember that you are not alone in your academic journey. If you need help or someone to talk to, reach out to your teacher, a counselor, or even a class mate. All of these people can be a great support system. Be aware of programs offered by your school. Whether it's tutoring for math, the career center, or the many other locations where you can find assistance, these programs are there to help you succeed. When you ask for help and seek out advice from the right people, that is how you learn, that is how you gain the ability to be a better student and the best you! Theresa
