Kevin McGarry BMGT380 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/09/2025	I absolutely loved Professor McGarry! He was clearly experienced with the law and loves his career. He uses his own experience/current events/exaggerated examples to keep you engaged. He knows what he's talking about and is very understanding. Class will be difficult if you don't come to lecture, you should take notes on a lot of what he says as it's not always on the slides, but class was usually entertaining and funny so I didn't mind. The first two exams are case based while the third is more definitions. People usually did pretty bad on the first two, but if you pay attention in class you should be fine. Overall I would love to take another course with him, and I highly recommend everyone else to do the same!!
Kevin McGarry BMGT380 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/19/2024	Very experienced lawyer with so much experience to share! Everything he taught was connected to real life stories that he either experienced or from cases we talked about. He is very interesting and this was by far my favorite class. You are graded by pretty much just exams, and one project but he was very generous with the curve for the last two exams. First one wasn’t curved. I got a D in the first one and still managed to get an A in the end. I wish he taught more classes, if you have the option to take him please do, you won’t regret it. - also you don’t really need the textbook, power points and the cases from class are all you need.

His class is very chill, sometimes boring because of the subject material but he does his best to keep us engaged. There's no cold calling, he just requests you speak 2 times throughout the semester (usually summarizing a case) to earn participation credit (6% of your grade). There are 3 exams and he curves the second and third. The exams are very hard ngl but the curve helps.
Kevin McGarry BMGT380 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/18/2024	I highly recommend Professor McGarry. He explains law concepts in an easy-to-understand way by using descriptive examples, and his exams are closely aligned with the class material so there are no surprises/curveballs. He kept the class interesting and engaging, which I found very beneficial. With his background as an attorney, he also provided real-life examples that helped me learn the concepts even better. If you're looking for a Blaw professor, I strongly encourage you to choose Professor McGarry!
Kevin McGarry Expecting a C+ Anonymous 12/11/2024	I really enjoyed Prof. McGarry and this course. The cases were engaging, and I appreciated his teaching style. However, the exams were quite challenging, and I didn’t do as well as I’d hoped. Looking back, I think reading the textbook would have been more beneficial than relying solely on the slides. Also, the final exam is quite different from the first two exams. The first two exams involve case-based questions where you analyze stories, while the final is primarily definitional. I found the final much easier in comparison. My main critique is the group project, where you work with 7-8 people to write a 10 page paper. I’m not a fan of group papers, and this one ended up feeling pretty disorganized. Even though I didn't do great in this course I still learned a lot and enjoyed it. Beyond business law, we also covered various other basic legal topics, which is good knowledge to have.

Prof. Mcgarry makes the information really understandable and he is passionate about his teaching, makes class enjoyable to go to and simple. as long as you show up sometimes and take notes it's not a hard class at all. I can't speak on other teachers but prof. Mcgarry is a must take if you want to learn and do well for an upper level required class for business majors. Also he's very approachable if your worried about anything you may not understand.

I was initially deciding between this and another night class, and knowing this class was much more difficult than my other class I was leaning towards dropping this. However, after the first lecture with McGarry I was hooked. He does a great job of explaining the content but also helping you remember it. He uses exaggerated fictional stories (in addition to his own experience) to explain the key differences between concepts. Truly a captivating professor Like every other Blaw class, his class is structured with 3 exams worth 30% and 10% participation from doing the case study. The 10% should be totally free as long as you do your case. The exams can be hard, but he curves the 2nd and 3rd one quite a bit. I got an 80% on the first exam (was not curved) and then a 107% on the 2nd exam after the curve. The content on the exams is super fair if you pay attention in class, specifically to the concepts he explains with examples and longer stories. He'll usually hint that these ones will be on the exam. Highly recommend Prof. McGarry, I really feel like I learned something in this class because of him.
