Disappointing as he turned an interesting topic into a dull subject and patent coverage was minimal. Needs to get more current.

Super difficult exam, very long and arduous, but a good prof, and a very even-handed marker. Also provided excellent and detailed feedback on the exam. Always a pleasure.

The nicest person ever. Goes out of his way to be clear in class and helpful outside of class. Tolerates stupid people far too much but you still love him for it. He WANTS you to learn and to do well and will do his best to get you to that point. Awesome guy.

Who doesn't love Uncle Joost? One of those profs who can make anyone understand anything about any obscure case. Lots of helpful readings, clear syllabus, approachable, jolly, fair... what more could you want from a former dean? There's a reason facebook has a Joost Blom Appreciation Society.

So helpful and sweet. Really tried to prepare everyone for the exam and even made up a comprehensive outline for the class. Marks tough but fair and will give out high marks. Great use of text books, easy to follow in class. Nice syllabus.

Good teacher. So good that you don't have to make case briefs unless you are in the line of fire. He is too kind to stupid people: there are no stupid questions, just stupid people (even in law school).

Very clear and extremely patient- maybe too patient. His niceness gives stupid people the opportunity to blab on and on. But he LOVES torts and so will you if you take his class! Awww... he's sooo uncly and cute!

Very entertaining lecturer, with a good sense of humour, and I learned a lot. I do agree, though, with those who say that his exams can bite you on the butt.
