DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS! He miscalculated our grades on Blackboard, leading us to believe we all had different grades the entire semester, and at the very end, he dropped all of our grades by 2 full letter grades. He also does not respond to emails and only has a TA answer any questions.

If you are in honors, take his ACCT 324!! He was so engaging in class and a great person. He invited us all over for dinner and that was really cool. Great, accomplished, caring guy. The McGraw Hill Modules are annoying but they're required for all ACCT 324 sections at USC, so I can't complain about those for this class specifically.

Take this class in person. Wait until the next sem. to take this class in person before taking it online. People don't tell you the insane amount of work you have to do to keep your grade. Each chapter & SB is extremely long and impossible. He also inaccurately calculated our grades and fixed it on the LDOC, dropping grades crazy. RUN & DON'T TAKE!

Really difficult online course if you don't do the work. I wasn't prepared for what the first exam entailed but the second one I got an 88. Has curved because some test questions weren't supposed to be on there. If you procrastinate I wouldn't recommend taking this course online because you will wait until the night before and probably not finish

Read the book, do the homework, do the practice and regular quizzes, take the exam, most likely fail the exam. He curves sometimes. The class is 50% homework and quizzes and 50% exams. Each module is about 5 chapters, so 5 homework, 5 practice quizzes, 5 regular quizzes, one exam on lockdown. Evens out if you get a 100% on all homework and stuff.

You will not make it without the textbook. You HAVE to read it hard or you won't pass the tests which are taken straight from the book. Grading is nice though: no projects, 50% hw and 50% tests (there are 5 and they are 10% each). He's available for office hours and is passionate about the subject, super nice in person so make time to go see him!

He gives interesting lectures and can come up with unlimited examples for explaining lecture concepts. Overall, an entertaining guy. For grading, Prof. Hughes is largely looking for effort, so as long as you are attentive during class, complete the case briefs, and do the Connect assignments, this class should be an easy A.

This class is an introduction to the business school for first-semester honors kids, but he makes the class so much fun and entertaining. There is one group project but as long as you participate you will get an easy A.

If you are an honors student, take Hughes honors class!! He is a great guy with fantastic stories. Everything is due on the last day of the semester, so you can space out when you complete assignments. Class is always fun to be in and he loves to get to know his students and talk about law.

My favorite professor! Genuinely cares about you and what you're getting out of the class. You get an A for showing up and participating. Super interesting discussions and very helpful if you are undecided on your major in the business school! No homework for the most part, and the only actual assignment is a group project. Take his class!!

My favorite Professor this semester! He is so funny and all you really have to do is watch the Ted talks he assigns and then discuss them in class. He really cares about all of his students and some classes he just checks up on all of us. TAKE HIS CLASS!!

This class is ridiculous. He does not provide any sort of teaching. I taught myself this entire course by only reading the textbook and doing the connect homeworks. Absolutely ridiculous. he did not do anything to help us or let alone just straight up teach this class considering that's his literal job

Mr Hughes is my favorite professor I've had at USC. He has a way of making each class period unique and entertaining. You will want to participate in this class and will find yourself cracking up throughout. It is the most fun learning you'll have. The workload was also not bad and the exams were easy to follow. Take Mr. Hughes!

Unless you want to teach yourself a whole semester of business law DONT TAKE HIM. Our only resource is the book and the connect materials. He offers no lectures and minimal communication. The test all are procured and on connect and are very hard.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! You basically read the text book front to back and will still fail. proctored exams and the only resources you have is the textbook. connect quizzes and concepts are not the same ones on the test. the tests have about 10 chapters each. If you take this course, good luck because you'll need.

Reading the reviews was confusing. I figured I had a shot going into the class. Class is not like most of the reviews. 4 exams, quizzes, thats it. No lectures from him, no real guidance from him. I wish they would improve this class. Read the book and hope your test has questions that the book covered. Way too much detailed content. Connect only.
