Reviews of professor Tobias Mendelson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This guy rambles. The material he covers in 1hr30 could and should've taken 15 minutes. He goes off on wild tangents that have nothing to do with Gov contracting and then tries to tie back together but it rarely works. He likes to talk... I can't call it a lecture either because 80% of it is off topic. He's just a talker.

Lectures are all on Panopto. He can be very funny, but he tends to ramble. He hosted test reviews on Zoom, and it made me wish the class had had weekly Zoom meetings. He is not well versed in some forms technology, but he adapted quickly when problems arose. Exams are multiple choice and open note, while the final is all essay questions.

I did not understand Tax as easily as my other classes. There were times I felt Mr. Mendleson could have organized the material in a different order so it would make more sense. Pay attention during the lectures. His final is a response to specific tax instances, so write down every situation he tells you during class. He will repeat himself often.

One of the few UAH business professors that I think genuinely cares about his students, though don't let his relaxed nature take you off your guard in his class.

Good luck teaching yourself business law because you're certainly not going to learn it from him. I've already rated him under ACC313, but it's much the same for this class. No real help from lectures and the "textbook" is just a list of bullet points so not overly helpful either. I hate that I have to have him for two more classes.

A great class if you can self-pace and be responsible for your own learning. Mr. Mendelson provides amusing panopto videos that you should take notes from. The exams are locked, but it is open book and open note (buy an older edition of the textbook). There are graded discussion posts which are interesting to discuss. Not to be an easy A class.

Graded by a few discussions and four exams. The final is a paper and given you get no feedback on any of your discussions it is a shot in the dark to try and write how he wants. LOTS of reading, LOTS of time spent listening to lectures. He is fairly blunt but overall a good professor. Most people in my class did not get along with him though.
