Reviews of professor Karen Halverson Cross

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Whatever they are paying this incredible professor to teach at John Marshall, it can't possibly be enough. JMLS should give her a huge raise and cut some of the dead weight around the school if it wants to improve its image.

She's extremely caring and nice. She genuinely wants to help ensure success to students. She's definitely an extremely fair grader and tries to give students as many points as possible. HOWEVER she's so incredibly unorganized. Her slides are almost useless and doesn't put important info on them. You have to do a lot of self teaching. Beware of that

Professor Cross is very smart and genuinely seems to care about her students. However, because she cares about them so much, she basically takes questions the whole class rather than use it to actually teach. She is a fair grader, but the actual class was not very helpful for learning the material. I was pretty self-taught.

KHC is really nice and will do her best to make sure you understand the topics. The lectures are long, and her questions are often long winded, so its easy to feel lost in class, but watching the recordings after class/office hours are a great resource! We have weekly activities/responses in addition to the weekly readings. Attendance is mandatory.

Easily one of the best teachers I've ever had...ever. She expects a lot, but she also provides you with a crystal clear idea of what she expects. Her classes are always engaging, which is an amazing feat given the material at times. More than anything I appreciated the respect with which she treats her students. Great experience!

She is a great teacher! Throughout the semester you may think that she is in between the fence on must questions, but this is due to the gray area of contract law and the subject manner.  The final was fair and really took in class Hypos into consideration! Biggest advice take notes on hypos and listen in class crucial to success in the class!

One of the best professors Ive ever had. Shes extremely brilliant, but still made Contracts understandable for students. She will late during her office hours to help students, is almost always available after class to answer questions as well. She encourages participation, and finds a way to make your answer relevant even if you got it wrong.

Best professor at JMLS.  Very clear.  Helpful outside of class.  Final is tough, but it is all covered in class.

A hair dated but sweet lady. Seinfield clips & laptop ban  lol what? Very sincere, available, organized. Lots of practice exams. Class is slow at 2-3 cases per. Wish she focused more on law tests, arguments, flow charts, and bar, instead of only cases and letting everyone in class give (completely irreverent) opinions. Good for first sem students?
