Comment:

He clearly knows his stuff but I found him very unrealistic with his expectations of a third year undergraduate course. He was a very tough marker with very little feedback on how to improve. If you work really hard you can get a good grade but it will be hard. Plus I found him a bit egotistical which got annoying fast.

Pros: interesting lecturer. Cons: Hard marker Slow marker Ignores email Talks highly of himself constantly I absolutely DO NOT recommend this class or professor. He is the hardest marker I ever had. He does not explain why you received a poor mark. I got a C+ in the class yet got a b+ or A in all my other classes.

He's an amazing professor. You really have to put in effort to get good grades but he is a fair marker. He doesn't post lecture notes so you have to attend class but he's very funny and makes it enjoyable.

A fantastic lecturer, he breaks down court cases very well and is always crystal clear in his explanations. No textbook required for the class, he's also very funny too.

Best lectures I have ever had. He not only gets to the point and explains everything well and in great detail, but there were multiple times I was crying of laughter. He is amazing! Go to the lectures and do the readings. He is very difficult, but very fair. Work hard and you can do very well

You are never at risk for falling asleep in his classroom because the material he covers is always fascinating. Trust me, if you were not interested in Indigenous justice, you will be after his class. His leadership and work outside of the classroom is truly inspirational and he will change the way you look at the world. BEST PROFESSOR AT YORK!

BEST CLASS EVER! Rudin is filled with so much valuable information that he delivers in the most charismatic way. His assignments are interesting and allow you to explore your own interests within the many topics he covers. He also respects individual and unique ideas on assignments. I learned so much and had lots of fun too.

You know how how they say that "those who can't do teach", well Rudin is not one of them. He is probably the smartest man at York. And it is true he combines theory and experience. He is not easy but if you actually hope to learn something take him!!! He's anything but boring.

I had him last year and he is unforgettable. Jonathan Rudin exemplifies interdisciplinary thinking and teaching at its best, bridging academia with real issues and cases. Further, it is easy to learn from him because he is a very interesting and eloquent speaker. He is the best Professor I have ever had. I couldn't be happier as a student.

Professor Rudin is an amazing teacher/lecturer! There are no textbooks, everything is online. Also!! It's very important that you attend lectures, he basically gives you a summary and analysis and that will really help you when doing assignments and tests! Oh! He also has a great personality, easy going and very funny!
