BUS 110. BUSINESS LAW

Being a part-time student means your school is going much slower than it would normally be. I started BMCC (Community college) back in 2012 and finally graduating in summer of 2016. In 2012 CUNY didn't have Pathways system that helps to transfer to a senior college without any problems with a curriculum. By the old non-pathways program I'm required to take BUS 110 Business Law class. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this class but I can assure you now BUS 110 is the most useful class from all I've taken so far. The course teaches your basics of the legal system, step by step process of litigation (both criminal and civil), alternative dispute resolutions, torts, contracts and more. The course is great but VERY tough too.  There're a lot of definitions you have to remember. If you ever take the course, be prepared to make flashcards for every chapter. I had somewhat strict professor. Not to say anything bad about Professor Berg but he expected us to study too much. The class was interesting, though.

The course book Dynamic Business Law, in my opinion, is very detailed for non-lawers. (My major is Business Administration). I know that there's another version of the book exist called Dynamic business law essentials, but for some reasons, BMCC decided on the regular book. Overall, I enjoyed the class a lot (apart from studying). I just feel so smart now:) I can't stop telling people about the US legal system. "Did you know you most likely will not be able to sue your credit card company if something happens?" Why? Because at the time you got that AMEX card you opt into ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution process) such as arbitration.
