The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
As are common if you complete all homework and study, but it is not a free A and the work volume is real.
Both online and in-person reviews say do the work and you earn the A; evidence is mostly in-person.
Is the course easy?
Content is moderately challenging paralegal material with heavy reading, not an intro free-ride course.
Online Entertainment Law felt relatively challenging; in-person Intro and Legal Writing also demand focus.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews mark attendance mandatory and tags warn that skipping means you will not pass.
Online and in-person both commonly list attendance as mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Near-perfect take-again sentiment and relentless praise for teaching quality and student investment.
Strong yes across formats; only a rare old outlier is harshly negative.
