This book is the worst textbook I have purchased in my law school career. It might provide you with a sliver of an explanation of a concept and then hammer you with problems that have little to no explanation. Considering the price of the book, you would think that the writers would provide the cases or relevant UCC provisions it cites to in the problems. So expensive, and for what? Look to Quimbee and Barbri for better explanations than this nonsense.

The book pretty much consisted of all problems with some cases thrown in. The problems were nice--they got you flipping through the UCC to learn by doing--but Whaley automatically cites you to where you should go, so you're spoon-fed instead of having to try to actually figure it out yourself first. The citations were nice, but I would have preferred them in the back of the book so that we could try to find out the answer for ourselves first and then use them to check our answer.

There was also very little substantive information. Our professor had to assign a supplement (Understanding Secured Transactions) in order for us to get that information. I don't think many of us actually learned anything from this book, except for seeing how a fact pattern might be laid out.

Decent, straightforward (shock of all shocks) textbook on UCC article 9.

This book is awful. One of the worst books I have been assigned so far in law school. Invest in the supplements!!
