Perello, Chris  

Highly Over-rated.

if you want to go listen to a lecture about sex and divorce, then definitely do not hesitate to take perello because the only thing he loves to talk about is how you will end up marrying and divorcing at some point in your life and teaches you how to get money off your ex-spouse...he is very funny though, letcures are long and boring, he is always drinking coffees and talks about lawsuits that are for \"millions\" of dollars. there are online quizzes before and after every lecture and they are rather difficult. that is wahat your grade is based off of. also he gave about 2 written one page quizzes and everybody fails those. there are no midetrns and the final is optional. overall, weird rofessor and BORING class!

perello is a cool cat. he is extremely funny and is one of the cooler teachers at cal poly. he gives two midterms and a final which are all pretty difficult.(the tests are mostly T/F and an essay).he makes challenging tests but he grades accoring to the class average so don't worry. the class average gets a b in the class. his lectures are interesting at times and i managed to not go to class for about two weeks. just read the summaries, study his powerpoint lectures online, and you will do fine.

I had his class with 180 students so it was new for him. WE had three midterms and a final and two papers. His grading was really weird, but I guess it worked out. He is always late, but his lectures aren't boring. He is funny, tells a lot of jokes and cusses like crazy. I would recommend him.

Perello's cool. You don't have to worry about your grade because if you show up and listen you'll do fine. The best part is that he makes the class really interesting and he's funny. Definately take him if you have the chance

Dr. perllo is a very funny and knoledgable teacher. He seemed to have a story or example for every topic. He was very good at explaining ideas in a few different ways to help the class grasp topics. his lectures were fairly interesting with a good deal of notes. He did put all his power point slides on the internet which helps. No hw, no book both plusses. his tests were challenging but he curved, and made the class average a B instead of a C which is nice.

Perello is great. He made a boring subject like Bus. Law into an interesting class with his funny examples and side stories. He is extremely intelligent and although he talks fast, he is easy to understand. The quizes are all short answer and are taken almost every class. They were pretty tough, but if you do well on them you don't have to take the final, so study up! There are 2 out of class assignments: case briefing (boring and hard) and going to the court house to watch part of a trial (very easy). I would highly reccomend Perello as a business law teacher.

Perello was awesome. He was slightly offensive, but it didn't bother me too much. He knows the material and presents it well.

He is a great guy. If you wanna learn Law without all the BS others make you memorize, take Perello. He is very knowlegable and tells you what you need to know. And by the way, if its not in BUS 207, then consider taking him for "BUS 308, its a great class."

Perello was a "great" professor. I really enjoyed going to class and listening to whatever was going to come out of his mouth next. His stories really help to keep my attention and interest, and they helped with remembering answers for his quizzes. We had quizzes everyday, with not one test or midterm and the final was optional. All i had to do was go over my lecture notes and reread his internet notes before class to get an A on every quiz. And if it wasnt an A, then it ended up that way with the curve at the end of the quarter. You do have to sit in on a court case (i actually found it interesting) and do a case brief (boring library assignment). If you do bad on the case brief, he will let you do it over, but chances are you will do fine. Take him! He's "great".

Perello is the best professor I have had at Cal Poly. He makes really boring material very interesting. He tells really funny jokes and stories. Also, he doesn't require you to buy a textbook. And, the best part is there was no midterms and the final was optional (if we liked our grade going into it). The class was based on quizzes, a court assignment, and a case brief. So, go to class, do the easy assigments, and you'll get an A in the class and not have to take the final.

Perello is very good at presenting the material. There was a quiz on the previous classe's material at almost every class session, so studying is a must. His grading style can be a little vague, but if you attend class and read his class notes (online), you should have no problem in doing well in the course.

Perellos no doubt the best teacher ill probably ever have at poly. he makes business law actually worth going to. i took it in the evening, and i was excited to go every time. just go to class...listen, and then take the quiz the next day. simple as that. the case briefing a bitch but at least you dont have to read a huge text bood for $120. After perellos class, through his awesome teaching/grading styles, along with his cool personality and funny stories, you will want to either be a lawyer or you will want to take bus 308, good class!

Perello is the shit. He makes class very interesting, which is hard to do with boring material. He tells lots of stories and gives lots of examples to explain what he is talking about. It's really easy to get a B in the class, a little tougher to get an A. Basically, go to class, take good notes, read the info on the web, look over your notes for quizzes. Perello is probably the best teacher at CP!

Perello is one of the greatest teacher's I have ever met. He doesn't do anything extra special and doesn't have a secret that other teachers don't know about, it's just that the kind of person he is spews out into his teaching. Being a lawyer, entrepreneur, and teacher this guy has a lot of knowledge for you gain from. The lawyer side in him dominates in most of the things he does making listening to him speak an unexpected form of entertainment. He's never boring ans always has a story or great example to relate every piece of information you will learn. If you just go to class, which are so fun they are hard to miss, you will remember most of the material he tests you on because it is so memorable. Like everyone, I recommend you take his 207 and 308, even if you are not a business major. Business 207 should be a G.E., but only if teachers like perello insrtuct it. Great Job, Perello!

Chris Perello is WONDERFUL! He is by far one of my favorite teachers here at CP and the COB. His classes are interesting and you actually (lame as it sounds) kinda look forward to going. His grading scale is really generous - go to class and show you care about the class and you'll get at least a B (even if you do bad on the tests- well quizzes). Perello is a really cool guy and I strongly recommend taking him for 207 and 308 (good class!)

Professor Perello is a great and caring teacher. His lectures were extremely clear and interesting. I always looked forward to going to his class just to hear what he

Perello makes an extremely boring subject like business law bearable and even funny at times. He truly brings the material to life and makes it understandable. The main advice I have is to stay on top of things and always go to class cuz it's easy to get behind. I also reccomend going to his office hours and getting help with the case briefing asst. cuz otherwise it's really confusing. Overall a great teacher and a great guy!

Perello is the best professor you will have ever. Period. No professor has actually made me enjoy a topic i previously disliked until Perello. Take him for every class you can, he is the reason you go to college.

Wow, what a teacher, this guy knows what he's talking about and makes it sound hella interesting. Take him, i barely studied for tests and didnt study at all for the final and ended up with a B. An A is not too hard to manage. The tests seem hard, but he curves like a mofo. The class average is a B. Bomb class, dope teacher, take it!

Perello rocks because all of his notes our on powerpoint and on his website and he actually makes a boring subject fun to learn about because of his real life examples

Didn't get an A on any one of the midterms. Had a C unweighted heading into the final. Got a C+ on the final. And look at the overall grade I got. Shows how much he curves. Oh yea, this guy knows his stuff and knows how to explain it too. Best teacher I've had since kindergarten.

Perello was cool I guess. He's extremely arrogant and he seems to prefer foul language 99% of the time, but he's an easy A. He did let me go to his house one day, while he was out doing something or other, and take a missed quiz while his son's friend played Play Station in the back room... little weird but I got to take the quiz! He's kind of like the really cocky, smart-ass guy at the party who has to be louder and more obnoxious than anyone else. I'd recommend him if you can stand that guy at the party.

The material is actually interesting, and the class is a piece of cake. his powerpoint and reading are online so you dont have to buy the book, and if youcant make it to class, you can catch up online. his tests are really hard, but he makes a huge curve in the end. i had a low 70% going into the final, and i didnt think that i did that well on the final and i ended up with a B. so an A is definately possible in this class, not to mention you leave it with a lot of useful knowledge.

Great teacher, I learned a lot about law, he had tons of funny examples. I kinds looked forward to going to his class. It was a very easy class. He curves the grades so don't get upset if your test scores aren't that great.

Please take this class. I seriously only went to class for the first midterm, then never again. There are about 6 or 7 midterms, no final, and all the notes are online. If you can, get ahold of some old tests to help you study...thats the best way. Plus, he curves like crazy at the end. I ended up with an 80% and that was curved up to an A. So I went to about 4 classes, and ended up with an A, is there any better class?

this guy should drive an escalade on dubs, cuz is a straight P.I.M.P. seriously, guys. perello is a really cool teacher who makes law really interesting. if you want a good grade, you will have to work hard. but then, if you aren't willing to work hard, you need to drop out and go to cuesta. Perello will have you go downtown to watch a courtcase, which was pretty interesting. his lectures are detailed and he does a good job of explaining what you need to know. my only complaint is that he takes forever to return tests, but this guy is such a good prof that i don't care. TAKE PERELLO

Perello is a very entertaining prof. He explains his lecturers well and they are all on powerpoint, so you really don't have to go to class. Though if you don't like a teacher who uses a lot of profanity, then don't take him. He is very fair on his tests and grading, and always curves your grade at the end of the quarter. You'll hear this a lot..."308, a good class" But all in all, I recommend Perello, he's awesome

KICK ASS Teacher. I got a C and i would still recomend this teacher to everyone. friends of mine in other classes were writing essays and shit. i got a 62 and got a c. does a great scale for curving and whats better than no final. 5 quizzes, no hw. just show up listen, take notes, actually put more work than i did and a B is no prob, or even an A. plus he swears alot. awesome teacher.

Perello is the man for BUS Law. Period. I could go into into-depth, but there is no need. Whether you plan on going into law in the future, or simply want a greater understanding of it, this is the man to consult. Down to earth person, who knows law because he actually IS a lawyer, unlike too many other professors who couldn't "do" so they "teach." I'm taking 308 now (good class). Oh, for those that matter, grading is extremely fair, but this isn't that kind of class where you worry about your grade - you'll gladly learn the material.

Perello is a very interesting and knowledgable teacher. He is difficult and there is a court project but it is still a great class. I failed his class over summer but I still retook the class with him--that's how great I think he is! He doesn't make you buy some expensive book to store in your closet all quarter; he puts everything you need online! I definitely recommend him and I plan to take him again for other classes. Also, just so you know, his class is a lot more difficult in the summer because he has more time and less students, so he gives multiple short essay questions on all the midterms rather than just scantron, and he has another project that he didn't give in the winter quarter.

perello is funny and actually makes something as boring as business law interesting. im definitely minoring in business becasuse of his class, and will take him agin if i can. his lectures really help, and all the reading is stuff he wrote that is online. the tests are kind of hard, but if you pay attention to what he has to say and read his stuff, you will do find. i recommend taking him. good class.

Perello is a great Business Law professor. He used to be a practicing lawyer, so he really knows what he's talking about. The class is done solely using PowerPoint (when it works), and the nice thing is he puts all the slides on his website as well as a summary of the section. He has some amazingly funny stories and the examples he uses to illustrate his points are brilliant. He also likes to talk about his other class, BUS 308 (good class) alot. He gave five midterms this quarter and they were not easy, however if you put in the effort you will get an A. The tests really make you think and put your legal knowledge to good use. He also made us go watch a court case downtown, which at first sounded lame, but I actually found it to be really interesting when I went. I feel so empowered by this class because he talks about several areas of law (contracts, renter's rights etc.) and how they apply to Cal Poly students. Every student should take Bus 207 with Perello whether they need to or not, I guarantee that it will be an excellent and enjoyable class.

Perello is the man. If you are planning on taking business law with anyone else but him, stop what you are doing right now and find a way to take him. He's the real deal - No BS. You want to learn about LAW instead of a law textbook, he's your guy.

Perello is the man. The only reason I got a B- is because I NEVER went to class. I went on test days and thats it. The only problem I had is that his online notes didn't really prepare you for his tests (actually not at all.) You need to go to class to pull an A.

Everyone highly recommended this teacher but I really didnt like the class at all. The tests are hard. He is entertaining but the subject matter is boring. he curses which is cool. I guess i didn't study much but I'm not used to getting C's ... somehow this class did it to me. I would try to get ahold of old tests to study from... that's prettymuch the only way to know what to expect. It's not an easy A.

perello is FUNNY. he makes class interesting and really knows his stuff, especially since he is a lawyer who has tons of real experience. there's not textbook, all his lectures are on powerpoint. although the grades on his midterms are low (they're designed to be), he majorly curves .. my 66% was a B+. he's really friendly and is direct (meaning, he'll tell you what it is, no sugar-coating around it). i went to his office hours a couple times and he definitely cleared some stuff up for me .. if you're going to take this class (which you should, it's pretty interesting!), DEFINITELY take perello. this material can be kind of confusing and he makes it much simpler and HEY- he makes class fun!

What can I say? Perello is THE MAN when it comes to law. He is very familiar with the whole legal lingo because he has personal experience with law. His lectures are usually not boring because he uses very interesting examples. He also uses "bad words" sometimes, but it wakes people up and makes people laugh, so it can positive effecs =). He answers any questions that you have during lecture and is pretty good at office hours too. There is no homework, and when I took his class, he didn't even require a book. He makes slides from Power Point, which he uses during his lectures, that are available online. So, you can print them out and study them for the midterms and final and take notes directly on them so you don't have to do any organization of notes. Also, there are readings that he posts online that you should read to become more familiar with the material for his midterms and final. The class has a huge curve. If I recall correctly, the grade that you receive depends on how well the class does. For example, when I took his class, if you had 75% after the final, you would receive an "A" (an "A-" was a 70% - 74%). The midterms and final are not exactly easy, but just take the time to study and get your questions answered (if you have any) and I'm sure you'll do fine. Perello is a cool guy and knows his stuff.

The subject matter is gonna be boring no matter who you take it with. Period. If you have to take the class, which all business majors do, and you aren't really into law or anything, take Perello. No homework, no roll, and Perello does really know his stuff. His notes are very well organized and thorough, and he chooses very interesting examples to talk about in class. I will say I barely went to class, I maybe made it 50% of the time if that. I'm lucky to have gotten an A considering how hard his tests are. However, if you study his notes and know all the terminology backwards and forwards and have a good understanding of it, you'll be fine with or without class. A good class to learn a lot without even going. Oh yea, and tests are really hard....hope you like true and false cause that's almost the whole test, every test. Then you have multiple choice questions for some hypothetical cases, mostly on the final.

perello is definitely the best professor at cal poly. the material can be tricky and it helps to have somewhat of a legal background. he does a great job of explaining everything though. he gives examples from his life and prior situations that help clarify all the hard concepts. the class is curved weird but it all works out in the end. take perello because he is really funny and he was a lawyer before he taught so he knows his stuff.

the guy was interesting enough to listen to, but the tests were insane. What does it tell you when the average of a midterm was 60%? For a class that size on such boring material, Perello is a decent professor. When there is no real homework and just 2 tests and a midterm, I guess you can't ask for much else. Just thank the lord for his curve. I consider myself a good student and I got a C and a D on the 2 midterms, and a D on the final. I ended up with a B-! The tests are just so hard because there is a TON of material.. but not too much detail to the material. So it's just overwhelming. Anyway, Perello is an overall decent instructor with lots of law experience.

Perello is the most down to earth teacher in the world. He took some very boring material and made the class generally enjoyable. The tests are fair but are very detailed and difficult. He is open to disagreement on test questions and his curve helps out a lot. If you can get him, I highly recommend his class.

perello awesome. his class was the only class i have never skipped, just because his lectures are so fucking funny.

He makes this class so fun and easy. He has great examples and stories (just don't get him talking about his ex-wife, he gets really bitter). Ask about the hampster story - yikes! Great class. Very entertaining teacher! Take the huge lecture class - no essays or case studies!

Such a great man. i loved him. He was my first A and i never thought I'd get an A. His class is just power point slides that you should print out before class and follow along. His tests are very fair, if you know it you will do good. He doesn't try to trick you. I walked to school with him the otherday and we just talked like normal peole. He told me if i wanted to go into marketing he could save me 3 years of my life in just 3 rules..." Never tell a man his dick is too small, never tell a woman she is fine how she is, and everyone loves puppies. You can sell anything" I love him. Such a great guy with a great sense of humor. He is SO FUNNY in class. don't go through Poly without meeting Perello.

Perello is a great instructor. This class is very challenging and truly test a students abilities. We had weekly quizzes that were rather difficult (he is super picky). The final was really tough but if i had to i would take his class again. Perello really knows what he is talking about and he is funny as shit! He will keep you laughing and keep your attention. Overall, happy with the course. Tough grader, excellent lecturer.

Perello rocks! His lectures were so funny...I missed a quiz once and he let me make it up the next day, very cool. He has a huge curve, so if you score above the class average you'll do fine.

This guy is awesome!!! He presents the material very clearly and if you have a question, he atleast has two other ways and an example to clarify. He tells a lot of good and sometimes crude jokes in class, rants about his ex-wife, tells college stories. The best proff i've ever had!!! The best thing is that along with being a really good guy, you really have a good understanding of the material. plan your schedual around him!

Perello is hands down the BEST professor ive ever had in my entire college experience. His knowledge about the subject is admirable. He uses his own real life experiences with Business Law in lectures and the things you learn from this guy beats any law textbook out there. The class is difficult and the amount of information is huge, but just listening to the guy in his lectures will get you through the class with a good grade and to top it off a great learning experience. Business majors if you're taking 207 it better be with perello.

Honestly, don't pay too much attention to the grades I just gave this guy, there were...what?....40 hours of class in the semester and I was there for MAYBE 5 hours of it. He is really interesting, and he is really funny, but as far as I am concerned he really doesn't do well presenting the material, at all. I stopped going because he completely lost credibility to me when he completely screwed up a basic and fundamental fact, and told me I was wrong when I called him on it. After doing research I found out I was right so I stopped going....But seriosuly a good guy and really interesting. just print all the slides off the internet and put it all on your cheat sheet and you will pass the class no problem. not hard to get a B in this class while you are sleeping...if you went to class every day, you should be able to get an A without even studying, seriously.

Perello is tight. Honestly going to class doesn't help that much but it is worth it because he is tight and pretty funny in class. I thought that this class was interesting and pretty f*ckin easy. He'll curve up your grade at the end. Take this class....

overrated. People think hes cool just because he cusses in class.

Pros: No book, good sense of humor, you get out early every once in a while, the only homework is going to a court case as well as 4 tests, and the final was optional if you were happy with your grade. Cons: Class can sometimes be very boring, not to mention that killer walk down to the business building. Overall: Highly recommended. If you can't appreciate this class you are doomed to drop out of college.

Perello is the man, he's seriously a college kid trapped in an older person's body. This class made me want to become a lawyer, and now I'm picking up a law minor and trying to get into law school. He's funny as hell...swears and makes crude, obscene jokes almost obsessive compulsively. All the tests are tough but he has the fattest curve and makes the class average the dividing line between a C+ and B-. There is no book, all the lecture notes are online as well as the reading, and he lets you make a cheat sheet for the tests. The only reason I got a B+ in this class is because I just enjoyed it too much and went to almost every lecture even though there were like 300 people in the class and he didn't take roll, causing me to not really study for it that much. Bottom line-I recommend this guy for anyone who has to take business law.

perello was a pretty good teacher but the size of the class sort of takes away from the efectiveness. you really only need to go to class on test days and just print out his powerpoint presentations the rest of the days but i would still recommend trying to go to class if possible. I skipped probably 50% of his classes and it did take its toll. The material is boring but read it nonetheless cuz his tests are reaaaaally hard. dont be scared if you're getting c's on his test though because he curves your grade about two grades up. entertaining professor though, his stories are quite interesting

Perello constantly changes how he teaches his class, but he generally has to shift the grades an enormous amount because most people fail his tests. Each lecture is a collection of powerpoint slides that have a definition on them. He explains the concept to you, and has you read a little too. Overall, your percentage in the class won't be good, but he curves very generously. You do learn a lot. If you go to the lectures and look over the slides the class should not be a problem at all. He's pretty funny, approachable guy.

This guy is probably the funniest guy I know. For being a lecture class he made it as fun as possible, but after a while any lecture class gets boring. All notes are posted on blackboard. Test are extremely hard but the curve is huge with like a 65% A and 50% C or so. I'd recommend this class if you are interested in law and want a very much passable class.

Perello was an interesting to learn from. He is a very funny guy, always cracking jokes and trying to make a dull subject a little more easy to understand. No matter how you put it, the course is difficult and I think that he did a very good job in relaying the material to the students. He always knew what to say, but never try to prove him wrong because you are only in for trouble since he is always going to be right. He is a guy that most college students can relate to, very understanding if a scheduling problem comes up, and really easy to talk to.

Very entertaining class. I think that perello may be the coolest teacher ever. If you are one who is easily offended, you should avoid this class. Perello is hilarious, he has a very crude sense of humor.

perello is a good man. his lectures are really funny and informative. his tests are kind of hard, but the grade is curved big time. my percent grade in the class was a 67, and i got an A. the class is really interesting and perello only makes the class better.

Perello is fun and interesting. He has a bunch of tests, so it is a good idea to go to class. He grades on a huge curve. I studied only about 1 hour per week for this class and I got an A. He uses a lot of vulgar language in class, which is pretty funny. He is the first college prof. that I have ever heard say "Mother FUCKER" in class in front of 200 students.

awesome teacher... no homework... a midterm every 2 weeks... I just studied for an hour off his power point before each test and got A's on all of em... no problem... just pay attention in class and it should be a piece of cake... he allows you to choose the weight of the final so if you have an A going in... you don't even have to study for it... or if you messed up during the quarter... you can just study for the midterm... take him if possible... but make sure it's a big class

He was a good professor. He was really funny during class and knew his stuff! The tests were really hard, however he curves ALOT so you end up with a good grade because everyone does bad on the tests. I would recommend him for this course.

Perello crams a whole bunch of material into every 2 hour class period. He shows off his lawyer knowlege. He is cocky and arrogant and knows it. Class is boring, you don't need to go. I didn't study really and still got an A. Cheat sheets for tests are allowed, but the averages are still like 50%. He curves majorly. I had to take it, but even if i didn't i probably would have.

Bad ass teach.

Perello has interesting lectures and is funny but his class isn't really organized. His tests are impossible and it seems like every question has 10 answers. He doesn't want students to think that Law is easy and therefore uses complex termonology in order to make students confused. I was extremely annoyed with Perello and would not recommend him. I got above average on 2/3 tests and did very well on the writing yet he gave me a C.... very lame. TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER IF YOU CAN. There's no book which is a bonus however that makes room for lots of stuff that can be on the test that you have no idea what it is.... Overall just don't take Perello.

Perello is a cool guy. Hes pretty funny and cracks a lot of jokes in the class. He swears a lot and is pretty laid back. He knows his shit, probably too well because if you try to argue with him on something, he just twists it around until hes right so hes kind of a dick in that aspect but hes good all around. We got screwed because we only had 2 midterms, but usually theres like 5

Perello's class was fun to be in I thought, because he did try to make his lectures interesting. He always had side stories to his notes. I was in the same class as the person below me who had only 2 midterms so that sucked, but he curves the grades a lot. The class average for the test and finals were around 50% so his test are definately difficult no doubt. He said he had all these factors for determing your final grade, like if you gradually improved over the course, or if you aced the final and all that. In the end I would recommend him just because I actually enjoyed listening to all his stories.

perello is the man!! he is absolutely hilarious, and the subject matter is very interesting as well, which makes for a very fun class. i never once missed this class simply because it was too funny to be able to justify missing. His tests are really really hard. i dont think anyone in the class had over an 80% on either midterm. the tests are tricky and you really have to understand what he taught to do well. however, there is a huge curve since everyone always does shitty, so you can still get a good grade. i would highly recommend perello for BUS 207.

Perello is no doubt a very interesting professor but he lacks the skills to get across important information that will stick with a student post grad and beyond. I took Perello's class and to my surprise, there was only ONE test ONE grade- the final. He assigns an INSAINE amount of reading 50+ pages on case studies and terms. It was hard for me to keep up with and i honestly had no idea what grade i was to recieve in this class after the final. Hes a stand up guy but when it comes down to the structure of his class id say its POOR.

Great teacher, interesting subject and a funny guy. Keeps you interested and tells real stories about real cases.

Perello is the BOMB!!! He may seem a little intimidating at first but he really is a good guy. And he is hilarious, he always has funny stories to tell in class. His grading is a little odd though. Dont be suprised if you get a 65 on the midterms and final and end up with an A (i did). He curbs his grades ENORMOUSLY!!

The funniest teacher ever. I love it when he makes fun of his ex-wife and swears. He also has some of the best stories I have heard. The test are extremely difficult. On the final I felt like I was guessing on more than half the questions. Luckily the curve is very generous. A 60% was considered an A on all of the midterms. My advice is study the slides a lot. A lot of his questions are hypathetical crap making it hard to pick the best answer.

10 weeks of lecture and one final. thats it. oh and one little writing paper that everyone gets an a on. you get 3 papers to have on the final to use as cheat sheets. so i went thru the lectures, deleted everything i knew from them, put the rest on microsoft word, used size 4 font, and put them on 5 sheets of paper. it didnt matter i had more papers. the class was in the bus cilo so he didnt even care what anyone did. the finals curved. take perello

Perello is HARD CORE! I LOVED this class. It was the only class that quarter I could miss, but I never did! He has a million stories and situations to go with the material which actually helped me remember stuff on the 2 midterms and the final. There is no homework, just reading/studying for the multiple choice tests which have an additional writing portion. Be forewarned however, you will FAIL every test. Some of the questions the answers are ALL correct, you have to pick the best one. He even told us "Well guys, you're all gonna fail this one" before handing out one midterm, and once said "You all sucked on the writing portion, no one got higher than a 9 (out of 20 pts possible), but whatever, even I couldn't write a 20 point answer." What kind of teacher TRIES to make his students fail? But luckily he curves GENEROUSLY, I think an A in my class was a 54%. haha Take him, just for the entertainment of it!

Chris Perello is an AMAZING TEACHER! I loved his class, it was challenging, educational, interesting and extremely well taught. Our class was smaller so he had quizzes each class instead of two midterms, this spread the work out and made sure that everyone studied and showed up to class. But if you missed a quiz he would drop the zero once you came to him and explained your absence. His lecture style is great. He's incredibly entertaining and engaging, and teaches the difficult material very well and thoroughly. His quizzes/tests are difficult but he really curves the scores (and puts the class avg. at the B/C line instead of the C/D). All in all, Chris Perello is wonderful teacher who really wants you to do well and learn. I looked forward to his class every day and was never disappointed. TAKE HIS CLASS!

He tells a lot of funny stories, so it makes 9 am lecture so much better.

He's awesome! Tests are hard so you have to really know the material. He grades on a curve so if you're around the class average you're doing fine. He has funny stories and keeps lectures interesting. Overall I enjoyed (yes, I said enjoyed)going to class.

his lectures arent bad and he cracks jokes all the time to keep you paying attention. his tests are crazy hard but he gives huge curves so as long as youre near class average you'll be fine

Great teacher!! Wish all teachers taught like him....his great personality and attitude makes the class more interesting...i can only imagine how boring this class could be without him....def worth taking. Test kinda hard but he curves alot.

This class is pretty cool, hes a great teacher and hilarious. The tests are really really hard but he curves a lot, but still hard, like 50% is a B basically on his tests. go to lectures read notes and you'll be fine with min of B, i got B+

Perello is absolutely hilarious. Dont take anyone else for 207. He tells funny and intersting stories that make the class laugh out loud and help you to remember the material. Go to class, do the reading and you should do alright.

No doubt Perello is a cool guy and a funny teacher--but bitter and his tests reflect this--i think so. There is no reason Perello can't make "right/wrong" answers, i felt this class was all about multiple guess and not knowledge. If you have taken this class you know what that means. He tries to cover so much info the class could easily be broken into two sections. This makes it absolutely pointless, as every single student unless they take 308, will forget 90% of the material they memorized in a few cram sessions. Good luck talking to this guy about your test scores should you have any difficulties. I think he's on campus twice a week at most, possibly an hour before class (when many other students are in class)

He's a very interesting professor. He knows how to keep his students engaged. He knows what he's lecturing on and his stories always have a point and/or relates to everything. I wish his tests made a little more sense though, I can never tell if I did really well or bombed the test. His tests are really confusing and difficult, and it's hard to measure if you really know the material.

Perello is crude, cynical, but hilarious. He is very realistic and when taught us general law stuff he emphasized how it is as a "practical matter." He told a few good jokes and gave a lot of examples that I could really understand and relate to. He had 2 midterms with mostly general questions and about 10 "difficult" scenario questions. The final was half the 3rd part of the quarter and half cumulative of "difficult" questions. I thought the course was pretty difficult the whole time. I read his entire summary, which is pretty easy to read and almost interesting, and went to all the lectures. It's not really clear going into the exams what exactly will be on them, and the questions are confusing to read, like not proper English. But he has an amazing curve and I got an A with probably 65%.

perello is probably the funniest lecturer ive had so far at cal poly. he always makes the class enjoyable but as everyones said before... his tests are ridiculously hard!!!!!!! he has a huge curve though. about 50% gets you a B and 60 an A so it works out just fine in the end.

Perello is hellarious. Even if you dont have to take this course, take it anyways jus to hear him. There is 2 midterms and a final and the curve is rediculous. The only way you will fail is if you dont take the exam. Take this class!

One of the best classes you will ever take! Unlike many professors, Perello teaches life applicable lessons. 2 midterms and cumulative fianl with a ridiculus curve. An A is arounf %65.

Badass, such a cool guy, class is fun. When he's not joking around and swearing, the class is dull because of the material, but he's a great teacher. The only thing that pissed me off is the midterms and final. They were ridiculously hard, even if you went to class, did the reading, and studied. The curve helps, but it's still really frustrating. He teaches the basic ideas of law, but then the test is very specific situations with names and everything and he asks something like, who here was liable? But it's really complex.

I'm telling you as a matter of fact that Perello is an extremely tough teacher. You will get D's and F's on almost all the quizzes and C's if you're lucky, but with the awesome curve you can easily get an B or A in the class. Some of the material is very dry, but perello is ranting and raving a lot to keep you entertained. Also he watches Family Guy and South Park and recites some quotes from obscure episodes. Overall, he is a tough teacher, but if you show up and stay in class you can get at least a B no problem.

Perello is fun. He keeps his lectures interesting and funny. He seems scary in class but I went to his office hours to talk about a grade and was very understanding and helped me a lot. I highly suggest taking this class, even if it's as an elective.

Professor Perello is absolutely hilarious. He talks about so many interesting cases and gives his opinions on everything, which I thought was both informative and funny. Go to his office hours. Although he may seem intimidating at first, he's really a nice guy and he wants the best for his students. Plus, arguing with him for points on quizzes helped me learn more than I could have ever imagined. I really feel that I have a better grasp of the law and my basic legal responsibilities because of this class. Take Perello if you get the chance.

Amazing class, takes a subject that might be boring and makes it easy to understand and hillarious. I hope I can take one of his classes again. Take him!!!!

Going to Perello's class was like learning from a comedian. He teaches the material flawlessly and really knows his stuff. We took a mini quiz everyday and then listened to a lecture. His lectures always included funny anecdotes to make the material easier to understand and remember. This was by far my favorite class of the quarter and I recommend it to anyone who wants a fun, yet also challenging, course. No midterm. and if you wish, no final. He made it optional. Also, he swears quite frequently and tells some jokes that very sheltered people might not like, but that shouldn't stop anyone from taking the best class offered at this school!

Funny guy. I was able to stay awake even though the class was 8:00-10:00 at night. We had all quizzes and no tests. Good professor.

Perello is a stud. He was by far my favorite teacher; he often makes funny jokes regarding sex and drinking. The class is entirely comprised by online quizzes, which can be challenging but once you figure them out, they become a piece of cake. Plus, the quizzes are open-book, open-note, open-friend and un-timed. I loved this class and I loved him. Take Business Law with Perello!

It seems like he experiments with the class structure every quarter. For my class, it was all online quizzes with two written quizzes. The quizzes ranged in difficulty, some were easy while others were pretty confusing and difficult. The class average was a 65%, which became a B. His grading at the end was a little flawed, because many people did poorly on the first written quiz and at first he said he would drop it or let you make it up, but then ended up using it to determine your overall grade if you were borderline +/-. The final is optional and sounds terrible since he is a hard grader. Makes it seem like you should not take it unless you are failing, and it is your last chance to pass the class. Anyways, he is an entertaining guy and makes the subject interesting with real-life stories from his experiences. Also, he cusses like a sailor, which is funny.

Perello is definitely one of the most entertaining teachers for a 8am class for 2 hours. I was amused most of the time with his stories dealing with law. His class consist of 4 online quizzes a week 2 written quizzes(interpret a story and write about it.)No midterms and the final is optional. If he does online quizzes I recommend discussing it together with a small group, you'll learn more and probably get a better grade. Pretty good teacher.

I actually was able to argue my grade from a B to an A-, without having to take the final. He tries to be a pretty reasonable guy and if you can argue your grade up with legitimate reasons as to why you deserve a better grade, power to ya!

Take perello! he is amazing. it was an early class, but he made it entertaining and actually worth waking up in the morning to go to. You don't actually have to go to class because all the information is online and so are the quizzes. The whole grade was these quizzes and the final was optional. it's a good class.

This class was kind of a joke. Because of the way it was set up, I quickly learned going to class was a waste of time and stopped going after week 2. You take online quizzes two or three times a week which your ENTIRE GRADE are based on. His lectures come straight from the book, which has not only the readings, but also the slides printed out for you as well. The one thing that pisses me off is he grading scheme, however. I took every quiz, did all the work, and ended up with a B. I tried to argue with him that if he dropped my two lowest, I would have an A. Not too unreasonable since about 10 other people in the class who had A's had missed one or two quizzes during the quarter and he was just letting that happen. Of course, he came up with some lame excuses. So make sure you have the grade you want before the last quiz because otherwise, you might be a victim of his obviously flawed and bias grading scheme.

Perello is a wonderful teacher. His lectures were pretty interesting, he always had some funny story to tie in with the material. The grade is based on online quizzes and two written quizzes. There are a lot of online quizzes, so it was kind of hard to keep track of them. I missed one or two of them but he didn't penalize me too much for it, I still received an A. The quizzes are short (5-10 mc) and if you read the material aren't too bad. The written quizzes on the other hand are really hard. I think I ended the class with a 69 or 70 percent and that was an A, so as long as you can keep up with the curve you can get a good grade.

He is the funniest teacher I\'ve ever had. Having practiced law for many years, Perello has the best stories to tell. Although the material is tough, grades are handed out on a curve, so don\'t worry about getting x percent. He lectures 100% of the time, and it can get dry at times, but he\'ll always say something to make the class laugh. Enjoy 207.

Perello\'s class is extremely easy because your entire grade is based on about 30 online quizzes (aka you can work on them with other people, or just get the answers from other people). Also, you never have to go to class. His lectures were all filmed and posted online. Perello knows what he\'s talking about and is fairly interesting because he gives good examples and stories. I\'d recommend his class.

He teaches law, so it will probably be difficult for many people to maintain interest. But the truth is, he puts all the lectures online so you can basically sleep in and watch them later. If you take his online quizzes in groups and do the extra assignments you\'re probably guaranteed a B, with a chance at an A.

If only he worked on getting a better online quiz system, so many of our grades were lost. But the nice part is that you can take the quizzes with people, and it is very possible to get an A

Perello will make law interesting, he challenges you to think of \"what could go wrong\" and ask him about it. Lots of quizzes, but if you\'re reading the textbook, you should do just fine. And you\'ll end up with a great introduction to the world of law. Final was optional, so the grade was just based off all the online quizzes. He knows the material and presents it in an interesting fashion. Class was never boring. I highly recommend him.

Perello is an excellent professor who knows what he is talking about. He understands his subject so well that sometimes he forgets how difficult it is for the average Poly student to grasp the complex ideas in law. However, he makes up for this with a huge curve. In our class, a 65% got me an A-. Final was optional, and quizzes were all done in groups. Never read a single page out of the law book.

awesome teacher, make sure you keep up on your reading. Not too tough to get an A in, really helpful in office hourse

Ok, so I plan on going into law. I read law books often for fun, and really do enjoy it, but no matter who you are you will love this professor. He is personable, entertaining, and infinitely knowledgeable about his subject matter. Just because I am into law does not mean people who take this class will not do well either, just watch the entertaining lectures, you will do well. The best of luck, and you really should trust my advice Perello is amazing.

He is SMART! He makes the laws make sense for an intro to law class. His lectures are interesting. It is a class that you have to work for your grade. His grading scale is different, for example a 69% is an A and a 40% is a C. It just depends on the highest grades in all his classes. There are lots of quizzes, sometimes hard to keep track of when there are quizzes. His quizzes are online on his own website but it is a hassle because the quizzes sometimes don\'t grade correctly or his site is down, etc. Overall, it is an okay class, but he finishes the quarter with a great last lecture, so you won\'t remember the class as boring or such.

I feel like I\'m the only one who hated Perello. He\'s kind of a funny guy in a total douche bag way, but his entire class is a joke. People were cheating right and left and the people that try get screwed over. I had him when he was doing online quizzes. Okay the ENTIRE class is based on a curve and a 65% is an A. People had like 80%! Like what the EFF? HELLO?! Is that not a red flag that some people have an unfair advantage? Aka either the answers from last quarter or a parent that is a lawyer who tells them all the answers? Then he decides that if someone didn\'t do a quiz he is just going to drop it because he is too lazy to go back through the emails he didn\'t read to see who had a computer issue. Because that\'s not going to completely ruin the curve. People that only took 2/3 of the quizzes ending up getting a better grade than I did. What did I learn from this class? Don\'t go when you don\'t have to and cheat whenever you can because its not worth trying, you\'ll just end up getting completely screwed over.

Take Perello\'s class! Not only does he make intro to law very interesting, I actually ENJOYED going to his class. His sense of humor keeps you awake during early morning classes, and I can honestly say he\'s a good guy. The class basically consists of group quizzes (which are very difficult, but at least you can work in groups). He\'s very approachable - GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! He gives great suggestions and tips for your quizzed. I realized this a little too late. The downside.. he likes to talk about his divorce, your inevitable future divorce, etc. And he doesn\'t care if he offends anyone or curses excessively. Overall, highly recommend this professor.

Perello is such a sick teacher. The first class I kind of freaked out because he swore all over the place and just wanted to get the information out. He just lectures for 2 hours straight with a little break in between with black and white powerpoints. He doesn\'t take attendance or anything, and by the end of the quarter I switched off going every other day with another girl. But, his lectures are interesting cause his stories are really funny and you learn a lot. No tests for his class, just \"quizzes\" that you write up about once a week, barely takes an hour. Everything is based on a gigantic curve. I got an easy A. Such a great class, highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed taking Perello for Business 207. He is funny, witty, and knows how to make a lecture entertaining. He is very smart and definitely knows the material he is teaching. It\'s kinda lame that your grade is based solely on the online quizes because anybody can regurgitate material on a take home quiz. I went to nearly every single lecture(by choice) they were entertaining. although his grading system is wierd, I would highly recommend taking Chris for 207. you won\'t regret it!

Awesome guy. He makes the lectures very do-able, and I enjoyed every one. You don't really need the book because he does most of it on his own. He has 10 quizzes and no finals, a lot different than other bus law teachers. I 100% recommend taking him.

Perello gets a bad rep because his curve is so low. My A was around a 63% in the class but he curves the grades on each quiz (which are all group and take home) so that it is representative of each class. His personality is very abrasive but his personal stories are funny and keep the class interesting. If you quote the book and his lecture slides (which are all online) when answering the quiz questions you will get an A/B without ever going to class. He also makes himself available to students at almost all hours of the day.

This class was extremely interesting. There are ten take home quizzes, which can be worked on in groups, and determine your grade. The class is interesting and the quizzes help you to actually get something out of the class. If you're unhappy with your grade at the end of the quarter, you can take the final as your grade. It's completely up to you. If you put in the time and effort, you'll be happy with your grade. The lectures are actually interesting and I recommend going. Perello is a great professor.

This guy fucking hilarious. His lectures are all powerpoint. Your grade is your choice. Either cumulative of weekly take home quizzes (which can be group quizzes) or take the open note final by yourself. But if you failed the quizzes you'll fail the final anyway. He grades the first quiz pretty hard just to make you try harder. But it gets easier and easier. Find a good group of people to work with. It's usually one quiz a week. NO TEXTBOOK necessary! Funny old white man bashing on his ex-wife. But he has great examples and knows how to answer your question. Attendance is optional but it definitely helps with the quizzes.

I was dreading taking this class but once I went I absolutely loved it because Perello is just so freakin hilarious! The material could be hard but there is no Midterm and an optional final. There are ten take home assignments which you can work with as many people as you want and all put your names on one paper to turn in. Go to class if you want to do good on the assignments because as long as you can restate your notes you will get an A. I always worked with my friend on these assignments for one hour on sundays and we got an A in the class. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH PERELLO!!!!

A very cynical, sarcastic, charming man who loves to bash on things he feels don't contribute to the world. His lectures are very funny at times because he's lived quite a life and doesn't fail to let you know how he's "fucked shit up". He's really great at explaining the content of business law and I truly feel that if I didn't take law with Perello, I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all! Weekly quizzes that can be done in groups (I recommend doing them in groups) that are manageable, no midterms, and an optional final that will replace your cumulative grade if needed. Honestly, I didn't know anyone who needed to take the final which goes to show how excellent of a professor Perello is.

Positives- Hilarious teacher, dont really need to go to class much,10 quizes, of which are hard in the beginning, but he grades exponentially easier as the quarter progresses. all quizzes are group quizzes HINT: he likes to read his own righting, incorporate exactly whats in his notes/slides on the quizes to get a good grade. Negatives- his grading is really subjective and to get an A is not an easy task.

Great teacher and funny guy. He gives you real life examples of the material to help you understand. The quizzes are pretty easy if you pay attention in class and just look off his online Powerpoints and use the terms.

This is probably the best teacher on campus. Perello keeps his lectures to the point and on topic. For 208 he didn't require that you buy a Business Law book. HE has all the notes you need on his website. The topic is a little boring at some points, but its Business Law, what do you expect?

Perello kicks ass. The class is challenging but he curves the grades in such a way that if you put in modest work you will pass. He lectures using powerpoint (which you are able to print out before class) so there is no need to buy the textbook. He's definitely a professor that I would recomend taking

Apparently Dr. Perello is a great teacher for 207, but for all those who need to take him for 307, good luck. He barely explains the material, gives you the bare minimums that you need to know, then asks impossible questions on the midterms. They ask for little details, or how to fix problems that there is no way we coudl solve with the knowledge he has given us. The material is poorly organized, and his lectures skim through information that is vital to what he is presenting. He wrote his notes as the quarter progressed. Maybe his next class of 308 will be better. You may get to find out.

Perello is great. His 308 class is basically an extension of Business Law I, so if you had him for that you know what to expect. He is very laid back, and presents the material interestingly through personal stories and animated lectures. His grading methods are very, very vague, but his class GPAs are usually on the high side. Overall, a great teacher. Highly recommended.

Perello's a bad ass. Grading is a little foggy, but do your shit and you'll have little trouble, unless you're a complete idiot. You have to be a moron to not get at least a B in his class. A's take some effort though. Cheers

This is a great easy class. He uses powerpoint the whole quarter to lecture and explains things on the board as necessary. He knows that people are in the class to learn more about business law since it is an elective. The midterms (3 of them) are all open note, book and anything else you need. They are questions, senarios you have to anwser and you can usually do pretty well on them if you follow his notes well. There is no homework, no inclass exercises, just sit back and listen to him explain law in his way and do a few easy midterms. You do not need to buy a book, and for the most part can do fine on the tests without one, however you can buy one if you want it for reference.

I had Perello for 207 and 308 and loved him for both. He got really behind on grading in 308 so he cancelled a ton of quizes until he caught up, but that was definately to our advantage. There was hardly any work for the class. We had one assignment that took an hour and a takehome final. We were allowed to work with other people on the takehome final, so the class just passed around an email list so you could email other students with questions. I just went in and asked him a few questions and got an A. The in class final is optional and it replaces all of your quiz grades if you take it, and it can only improve your grade. This is a really easy class with a light workload. Also, he is really funny so you don't mind going.

Cris is rad because he knows that law is filled with pricks and makes you aware that the only way to get around or through them is to know your law better than them. In this respect he is very motavating. He also tells entertaining and relevant stories and sometimes gossips about people in power in this town. He tests on a regular basis and the tests expect a good understanding of how to manipulate the material learned as well as the actual material we learned. After the first law class I took from him and got a B in I felt that I understood the law, how it affects me and what i can do about it. I am in the second law class with him and the test are slightly harder but the knowledge is still usefull and well presented. He cusses in class, too. :)

The grading on this course came from a variety of sources. Most of the points came from "daily" quizzes. They weren't daily, but were difficult because of the hypotheticals. We went to the county recorders office and did an assignment, which was interesting. We also had a written assignment on securities. The final was take home. The material in the class interested me. The class was frequently canceled, but I still learned enough. This was his first time doing the course in a while so it needed some reworking.

Perello is absolutely the best teacher I have had at Cal Poly, not just the BUS department. The guy knows his stuff and makes lectures fun. Some people think he can be a jerk but if it doesnt bother you TAKE HIM. I have had him for BUS 207, BUS 308, BUS 404....I took 308 just for fun because Perello was teaching it. TAKE HIM if you are lucky enough to get a chance to.

Prof. Perello has a lot of good knowledge, and presents his lectures that in a way that is both entertaining and informative. As long as you can laugh at or at least tolerate the occasional vulgar expletives, you will really enjoy his lectures! The workload in this class was insanely minimal, perhaps because it was the summer and he didn't want to be there anymore then the rest of us. Attendance was required for about 1/3 of the classes. Go to his office hours with questions, and you will probably receive an A. There was no exam, just one project that was completed throughout the quarter in parts. If you are a Business major who needs this class, plan your schedule around the Perello's 404.

i took this class over summer so i wouldnt expect similar results during a normal 10 weeker. perello was working on his book and getting drunk over the summer and didnt really want to hold class. it was scheduled for tuesday thursday, but he almost always cancelled thursday and class all together after the 6th week. the class was based around an experimental research/argumentative paper. if youve ever had perello for 207 then you know he has very high standards of what you need to know, and in this class, his standards for how you analyze the information you discover are high as well. he didnt hold even half of the quarters sessions, but is always readily available and overall i think has a lot of realistic and usefull info to share. he is also very funny and crass, which i personally enjoy quite a bit.

The entire class is a project that you can work in groups on. You represent a business and create a memo to the boss analyzing governmental actions and the effects they have on your company. The lectures are interesting, similar to his 207 class, and actually have a real life application. He is very helpful in office hours to help on project details. The project is submitted in chunks making it easier to manage. The worst part of the class was a media assignment that was very time consuming. Your final course grade depends primarily on your final project grade. There are no quizzes or tests however he did say that he will be altering the course layout a bit for future quarters.

Take this guy. He's HILARIOUS. I loved coming to class...great professor and very fair, flexible, and understanding.

Business majors: A degree for the intellectually impaired, HA HA.

Perello is a pretty cool guy that knows a lot of funny jokes and interesting stories. He is a very thorough and precise instructor, who truly has a desire for his students' to learn the material. The quizzes can be quite tricky and he is a hard grader! He doesn't want just an answer to a question, but also the why you chose to answer that way and use examples from lecture as evidence.
