Comment:
Tough course that requires you to read and interpret huge amounts of case law, pay close attention and ask questions, and think. Lord's grasp of the subject is extensive and he will sit down with students to help, but his teaching style is very difficult to follow. Multi-choice exams test your ability to index case law book more than understanding.

Comment:
Really, why is he teaching? He may be a brilliant lawyer but he has no business in the classroom. Although we read the stuff, it is mostly guessing when it comes to the test. May even try it next time. It should be a crime for him to teach Law ( or anything else for that matter), especially something so important to the profession! GET A NEW PROF!

Comment:
His career as a lawyer has eroded his soul and now he barely registers a pulse. I've studied its habits and it seems to function on some kind of basic motor skill which allows him to recycle, verbatim, the same lesson plan and monologue from years past. An absolute shocking failure of a teacher.

Comment:
Terrible. He gets paid to teach for 2 hours a week and he can't even take the time to write intelligible exam questions. The only reason anyone passes this class is because some students share a "law bible" that's been passed down from year to year, with answers to the test. The best students do the worst in the class, because they have principles.

No idea what this guy's deal is... You learn nothing in class, and there is no conceivable way to study for the exams. The questions relate to the most minute details of the cases. The most ridiculous educational experience of my life.

Ian Lord, where to begin. He doesnt allow you to see your tests after you write them, so you can never see where you went wrong to learn form your mistakes. He is monotonous, boring, and doesnt seem to care about student concerns. Apparently students have been trying to get him fired forever.

Comment:
Why bother having him there? He stands up in front of a giant lecture room, mumbles to himself and doodles on the board with his back to the class, and then prepares m/c exams based on anecdotes in the text. Might as well skip his lecture and read his text, at least you might get something out of it, if you can decipher his grammar.

Haven't they fired him yet!? I'm sure he's a good lawyer but he has NO teaching skills. He talks like he's talking to a wall, and doesn't give a damn about the students.

Comment:
Professor (and i use that term loosely here) Lord is an embarassment to the school of urban and regional planning. It says something about the professor when students choose to teach themselves a course rather than go to class. When will Jim Mars wake up and get rid of this embarassment?

You basically gotta teach yourself in this course. the material isn't the hardest, but Lord is as entertaining as a bag of seeds. He's very confusing, monotone and doesn't answer questions well. Beware the final exam, it's just dreadful

you can actually do well in this class if you keep up with the readings, he isn't a difficult marker. it seems like he doesn't want to be there, he is oblivious to the class and seems stunned whenever we ask questions - which he anwsers poorly leaving the asker even more confused and depressed!

The worst teacher I've ever had. He writes and created our text books so we're screwed both ways. He expects you to understand his law jargon and acronyms without explaining what he's talking about. He's very boring and doesn't seem to care about the students. His exams are VERY UNREASONABLE!

completely useless as a human being. This is the reason lawyers have a bad reputation.
