Going through the notes of the cases in class was helpful hypotheticals, comparison to modern cases and situations

He is very theatrical. While he presents the info and hammers down the point. I think in some respect he could pick up the pace and move a littler faster. There are quite a few times that he assigns a caseload of info and then glazes over the info and that is very disappointing to someone that prepares and reads. Robertson put the cases in concise ways. Prof. Robertson has very vivid storytelling capabilities to make the cases come to life. He clearly has been teaching this course for a long time, and has a good aptitude for keeping the class’s attention. His "IBOX" is also creative and funny, and his writing assignments gave a good sense of validation when you did well. n/a 1) I really enjoyed Professor Robertson’s personality. He is such a great guy and I enjoyed every single class. 2) I especially appreciated how each and every case we read, we talked about in class. In some other classes, we do a million pages of reading just to not talk about them in class. So it was really great that we spoke about every single case we read. 3) I also especially enjoyed how he always made sure we understood the rules/concepts from each and every case to help us understand the black letter law of torts, but also the contours of tort law. Whenever we had class discussions I better understood the material and enjoyed hearing other students’ point of views. Introduced to a new area of law that i am interested in. Professor Robertson was funny and made the lectures engaging. I thought the writing assignments were helpful. Professor Robertson came up with creative and engaging hypos to help students better understand the cases and content The case intensive aspect of the course helped me understand the law and all of the nuances in the law. We worked through a logical progression of cases and case law which aided in learning the material. It really didn’t. robertsons "methods" approach through cases. it made it make sense and he is effective in that respect. I really appreciated Professor Robertson making the class come alive for us through his dramatics and phrases to help us remember the material. That kept me engaged and helped me to remember 6
