COMM 3420

Sherri Moore is easily one of the most enjoyable professors at this school. Comm Law II is a great follow-up to the first class, diving much deeper into the business side of law, including topics such as patents, contracts, and business entities. If you have any interest in law school or the law this is 100% a class to take. Even if you don't, it is an good class made enjoyable by a great professor. I would rate is slightly less favorably compared to Comm Law I

Grade Breakdown:
30%: 50 question midterm
30%: 50 question midterm
40%: 100 question final

For the exams you are allowed to bring typed/handwritten cheat sheets that you are able to cram most of the course material on to.

Sherri Moore is the GOAT. Take this class and get to know her while you're at it. Great professor, great content, great lessons learned from the course.

If you enjoyed Comm Law I, then you will definitely enjoy this course. Professor Moore removed weekly quizzes and you instead make them up by doing case studies of Supreme Court cases and debating those in class. Overall, the assignments are easy and the in-class discussion is pretty intense but fun. It's a very educational opportunity. The tests seem more application-based than the ones in Comm Law I which make them more direct and easier in my opinion. The cheat sheets that she permits are allowed to be typed and you get three whole pages so you can pretty much write down all the notes for the test onto the cheat sheet and use them super effectively during the test. Highly recommend!

I thoroughly recommend this class. Professor Moore is a very engaging lecturer and a fair and reasonable grader. I always felt prepared for my quizzes and tests, and I felt the information asked of me was well within the bounds of discussion.
The material of the class is bit more complicated than that of COMM Law 1, but if you did well in that class, you will do well in this class. The tests are even more based in application questions than I remember Comm 1 being. We talked mainly about Corporation and business formation, partnership agreements, intellectual property rights, and the controlling of the sale of goods. I'm not particularly interested in any of that, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning about it from Professor Moore.
The structure of the class is very straightforward. There are weekly reading quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final exam. The quizzes are worth 20% of your grade, the midterms are 20% a piece, and the final is 40%. All the exams are online, taken through Collab. As in Comm 1, you are allowed the two sheets of notes to have with you while you take the exam. There are regular extra credit opportunities. The TAs are also great at following through with SDAC accommodations, which is refreshing.
If you're looking for an easy class with limited homework, I recommend this class. I spent about one hour a week on reviewing for the reading quizzes, and about 5-7ish hours studying for the midterms, I will end the course with an A. There was no weekly reading.
Additionally, Professor Moore was incredibly understanding and accommodating with all that has happened this semester.

pretty much the same set up as comm law 1-- professor moore lectured on the outlines posted on collab and there were 5 quizzes and 3 exams (including the final). there was also a group project assignment that seemed... a little thrown together in the middle of the semester. the grading for that was pretty generous so long as you did the assignment, but just know there is that. there was only 1 assigned reading and it was for the second to last day of the semester. definitely a lot of stuff to know, but we were able to type our notes in lecture and use a typed up sheet of notes on all of the exams. if you liked CL1, you'll enjoy it.

Personally, I feel like I played myself. I didn’t really love comm law 1 (the exams were a grind to prepare for and I thought the lectures were pretty boring) but I didn’t know what other course to fill my schedule with so I took comm law 2. And I should’ve learned my lesson the first time bc CL2 isn’t any better. CL2 imo was even way more boring because it was actually business law this time (shocker) while CL1 included more interesting (IMO) case law and constitutional information. But yeah, should’ve stopped at CL1 lol. The exams are low key hard imo and the cutoff for an A is so high. Prof Moore is a wonderful person tho and take it if you really enjoyed CL1! Also taking such a long final online this semester was really rough... but in CL2 you do get applicable real world legal information which could be really helpful in the future.

I loved this class. Sherri Moore is the best professor I have ever had at UVA. This class is low maintenance and Professor Moore makes her lectures interesting. I highly recommend this class.

Honestly, you'd be dumb to not take this course. Good stuff to know and nice professor. There's virtually no outside work besides studying. No stress. Sherri's classes are literally easier than high school courses.

Great class but be prepared to never get graded tests back. Takes about 2-3 weeks to get the multiple tests and final exam grades.

If you liked Comm Law I, you definitely need to take this course. It's way better for a number of reasons: 1) Taught in a smaller setting so Sherri is way more lax and funny. She always let us out about 15 minutes early. 2)Mine was taught in the comm school so we had comfortable desk chairs instead of being packed like sardines into Wilson 402. 3) You can type your cheat sheets which makes it way easier at the end of the semester when you already have 80% of the class typed up. 4) Instead of weekly quizzes, we had 6 take homes spread throughout the semester. 10/10 would recommend

Definitely different than her Comm Law 1 class, but a lot of the same structure. It's the same ridiculously fast note taking, except instead of quizzes every Wednesday, we had 4 case studies due throughout the semester that were really easy to do well in. Cheat sheets are way easier to complete, but theres way more information than Comm Law 1. Just like before, an A is a 95, so unless you get above a 95 on both exams and the final you'll probably be a little disappointed with your final score. Sherri is still great, a lot more fun with her comm law 2 kids.

Great professor and super interesting class. Learn a lot without much work required. Writing the cheat sheet for each test is the most time consuming. Highly recommend this class to everyone, even those that are not pre-law and not pre-comm.

The class is similar to Comm Law I. Consistent lecture and note taking. Big problem are the TAs and the tests. Tests were usually very vague and the TAs were unhelpful which made a straightforward class too confusing.

If you have taken Comm Law 1, I highly recommend this course. You still have weekly quizzes, but these quizzes are not as regular as Comm Law 1. The exam format is almost identical to Comm Law 1. Otherwise, you can't beat a course with Sherri Moore.

This class is actually business law, and as expected the material is more dry. However, if you are even thinking about entering the business world or especially if you want to maybe start your own business one day, this class is for you. Or if you want an extremely easy A- with little effort besides taking good notes/A if you study hard the day before a test/final, then this is for you too. Overall, I would say it is easier than COMM Law 1 because she lets you type cheat sheets, and for the second test she let us have 3 typed sheets. And there are no quizzes anymore, rather somewhat easy and interesting case studies.

Overall, it's another class taught by Sherri Moore so obviously you should take it.

So you already know Sherri is amazing if you are this far and have taken Comm law I, but I will say this class was definitely not on the same level as Comm law I. For me a lot of this was due to the nature of the material. This class really focused on business law (which should be expected given the class name) whereas comm law I was much more general. I found this a lot less interesting, but Sherri of course made it worth it everyday all the same. Class structure is similar to Comm law I, 5 quizzes, 2 tests, 1 final although the final is only 40% instead of the 50% it was in comm law I. Overall, I did feel like I learned a lot even though I wasn't that interested in the material and this is a great class to take the work load off as it is an easy A- w/no outside work. If you want the A it is very doable you have to just put in the work studying the day before each exam.

If you've taken Comm Law I, then you already know that Sherri is the coolest professor at UVa, so I won't waste my time with that sales pitch. The topics in this class are more in depth than in Comm Law I and whereas Comm Law I focused on some constitutional and criminal law in the beginning of the course, this course focuses exclusively on the commercial aspect of the law. The breakdown for my class included two midterms worth 20% each, a final worth 50%, and a case study that made up the remaining 10%. This class is definitely worth it.

Professor Moore is good. Really good. I took Comm Law I in Fall 2015, loved the class so much, and decided to take Comm Law II to make interesting my otherwise tedious schedule. The format's generally the same as Comm Law II - 2 midterms, finals, and 5 instead of weekly quizzes. Prof Moore really knows her stuff and her lecture's just interesting to listen to. I found the finals harder than the midterms, but as long as you go for class, take notes religiously, and make good cheatsheets you're good to go.

Sherri Moore is the best professor at the University of Virginia. I was actually sad to finish this class after having taken comm law for an entire year. It is definitely a worthwhile class, no matter what your major is and how little background knowledge you have on the subject. This is just a practical class and applicable to everyday life. Multiple choice tests and you can use cheat sheets. Take the class, you'll thank me later.

Sherri Moore is an amazing professor. I found this class easier than Comm Law I. The group project was a nice application of the material, not challenging, and more preferable than weekly quizzes.

Sherri is the best! This class is a lot like Comm Law I, but there is a group project instead of quizzes every week. She also teaches a bit faster, but it's very useful and interesting information. Good, chill class to take!

I love Sherri Moore

Professor Moore is probably the best professor I have had at UVA. I took Comm Law I in the fall and really enjoyed, so it was a no-brainer to take this class. It was different material (more business related than Comm Law I), but I really enjoyed both classes. You get a cheat sheet for each exam, and you can pretty much get all your notes on the cheat sheet if you format it correctly. I definitely recommend taking this class. I wish there were more classes I can take with her.

If you're interested in contract law, patent law, etc, then definitely take this class. Sherri Moore is an amazing teacher and I highly recommend taking a class with her. However, if you're taking the class because you expect it to be as interesting as Comm1, it might be different than you expect. The material is definitely drier than that of Comm law 1. However, we still get cheat sheets on tests so they're not that bad.
