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.
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.
Kevin McGarry BMGT380 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/07/2024	I took Professor McGarry's class in the Fall of 2023. 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.
