I highly recommend this class, not only because Sherri Moore is absolutely amazing, but also because it teaches you about your basic rights (which is extremely important). You get a "cheat sheet" on every test, so they're not that hard at all. My only advice would be to study for the weekly (10 point) quizzes- I didn't do too well on them so that ended up bringing my grade down a little. Overall, this class was one of my favorite classes that I've taken at UVA. please take it

Professor Moore is the best! Would recommend to anyone interested in law or not!

Take this class!! I learned so much and Sherri Moore is the best professor ever. Take advantage of her office hours because she will help you so much! You get cheat sheets for the test so the tests are super easy. It helps to study in groups and compare lecture notes but as long as you take good notes this class is nothing to stress about. Highly recommend!!

Great class, and professor Moore keeps it fun with stories and examples and loves to relate comm law to what's going on at UVa and around the US. There's an in-class 5-or-so-question clicker quiz every class and she doesn't drop any (although you can do extra credit to get the equivalent of an extra quiz, and if you completely miss a class you can make it up in office hours - but only a couple times). She reviews before every quiz so unless you're brain-dead these are nothing to sweat, especially since you can't be on your phone in class or she'll call you out in front of the entire 300-person lecture. Since you get a 2-sided cheat sheet every midterm and 3 sides of paper for the final, it's a pretty easy A-, although you are going to have to stay on top of things for an A because there are a fair few picky questions on the exam

This class was fantastic! Professor Moore was wonderful and there was no outside work. I'm interested in law, so this was a great pre-law course, but even for people not pursuing a law career this course gives you important background knowledge about the basics. I always enjoyed going to class and would really recommend it to anyone!

Great class if you don't mind taking notes at a really fast pace for an hour and fifteen minutes straight. Tests are totally based on lecture and so attendance is pretty important to get the notes. Weekly quizzes are easy and based on the previous 2 lectures ‪#‎tcf2016‬

this class is great and very applicable to life - sometimes it gets into the nitty gritty of laws and since I'm not a law person that isn't the most interesting, but Moore does a really good job of explaining concepts and cases so all students can understand. attendance isn't technical mandatory but the tests come straight from her lectures (and there's a lot of info - come prepared to take lots of notes), and there are easy weekly quizzes based on lecture. #tcf2016

FAVORITE CLASS I have taken at UVA. First, Sherri is an amazing professor. She is a great lecturer: she explains information extremely well and is hilarious and engaging. Furthermore, she is super approachable and very kind during office hours. No reading is necessary, just show up, take good notes, and do well on the weekly quizzes, which are not that challenging. Great class, I would recommend this class to anyone because the information is also really useful and practical!

Not an easy A... Not at all... However, if you put in maximum 30 minutes studying each week for the weekly quiz, you will get 10/10 on the quizzes.
If you study 4 hours for the first midterm, 7 hours for the second midterm, and 12 hours for the final, you will probably end up with an A-
The only people who could possibly get As in this course will be the ones who spend at least 2 hours each week studying and two days studying for the exams.
There are very difficult questions on the exams, albeit most of the exam is easy (hence the large number of A-). Those few really difficult questions will just depend on how extreme you are about getting an A in the course. There is a HUGE diminishing marginal return on studying past the numbers I listed above, and if you have nothing better to do than to study THAT hard for this course, you should enroll in more credits, haha :P

Sherri Moore is awesome as a professor! She really makes dull material engaging and interesting and is very approachable. Also, you get a 2 page cheat-sheet on exams. I would highly recommend the class, but there are some problems. Moore's test questions are incredibly vague. Because the material is very specific and scenario-based, the vague question often have an ambiguous answer. My friend joked that she probably drinks two bottles of wine before writing the test. As a result, it really doesn't matter how much you study. Whether it be two hour or 15, you'll probably get an A-. Also, some of the material that she teaches is just wrong. The textbook that she tells you to buy actually contradicts some of the stuff she says during lecture. This leads to confusion in studying because you don't know whether to study. A really enjoyable class, but it has its faults.
