Review:
"I love ALL the versions of the Beatty Samuelson textbook for the following reasons: it's funny and engaging; the examples used by authors are very good; students report on my evaluations that they discussed the book with their parents and friends and many students intend to keep the textbook for their own interest after the course is finished. Essentials has a good price as compared to the hardcover while the coverage is more or less the same."
"The case summaries which present excerpts and concise summaries of the facts/opinion are a wonderful asset of this text. Additionally, the layout (breaking up large amounts of text with illustrations, cases and other examples) makes this an easier text for students to read. Additionally, the organization of the textbook (in terms of chapters) is conducive to teaching business law."
"I adopted this text because of the readability of the textbook. Reading and comprehension is one of the biggest challenges that students face today. Any text that I use has to be one that students can read and understand. Most of the students taking our Business Law I course are Business majors, not pre-law so being able to digest the material is very important."
