A fantastic prof. Very clear at explaining difficult concepts. Going to his classes are actually very useful ,because you take a lot away from them. I am excited to be in his class again this semester.

The textbook is helpful, but reading the text isn't necessary. Prof Siebrasse will cover all you need to know for the exam in the class itself. His responses can be blunt at times, but it's actually kind of hilarious and at least he answers things definitively. I loved taking his class.

Loved him. His expectations are clearly outlined (This is the rule. State the rule on the exam. This is how you apply it). He teaches you exactly what he is going to test you on. He is clear and organised. You don't have to do the readings. Go to class (on time!). Take notes. Do the practice problems. You'll get at least a B+ on his 100% final.

Comment:
I liked Prof. Siebrasse well enough for commercial law, but he was not much use for legal method. Additionally, he was downright hostile in an upper year elective that I wanted to take. His alpha male barking at me one day during the first week of classes persuaded me to drop the elective course. Probably just as well. Nerds will love this guy.

I learned a lot from this guy. He's extremely engaging, especially considering that he doesn't seem to know a single student's name.

Siebrasse is excellent for logical thinkers. Especially good for people who get fed up with the way other professors ramble and get nowhere in their courses. Gives no slack though.

Comment:
I like his robot-like demeanor. He makes everything seem very logical, and he’ll take the time to explain things so stupid non-cybernetic folk can understand. This makes class go slowly sometimes, but you have to admire him for taking the time to help the helpless. His excellent Powerpoint slides make note-taking easy.

A very good prof. Course seemed disjointed at first until I looked at the bigger picture. I found his PP notes very helpful and enjoyed the policy aspects of the course (and there is a lot of it).

Comment:
The smartest prof at UNB Law. A hard marker, but has a detailed marking scheme that can show you exactly where you went wrong, rather than just generalizing. Will take the time to go through your exam with you. Study the dissent of a case as well as you study the majority. A pretty good lecturer. Most people find his PP notes very helpful (not me).

His notes are awsome. All you have to do is pay attention to policy (70% of the exam) and you will do fine. Highly organized (Sie-borg style) and knows his stuff. Those who dont like him have likely watched Terminator a few too many times. I thought I'd hate this course but he made it interesting.

The man is a cyborg- he is Data from star trek. I am sure he actually has a toggle switch behind his left ear. A good prof-but what purebred human has a website dedicated to logic and game theory? Regardless, I would say take his comm class-even if only to get a glimpse of the race of the future.

Stormin'Norman...this site is for students to voice their opinions. Not for profs to toot their own horns (ie last two posts).

Comment:
Most straight-forward prof I've had at UNB Law yet. Commercial is fairly straight-forward anyway, but, unlike some other profs, he doesn't go out his way to make the topic harder than it is. He gives the whole class on power-point slides, which he posts for students on the web, which is great.

He may be smart, but he's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is. His classes ooze with pseudo-intellectual posturing. And he seems to grade papers by randomly pulling letters from the backpockets of his close-fitting corduroys.

Get a real job? He's a law professor, that's a great job. He's an excellent professor and the school is better by having him. He is a robot, yes, but he really cares about the school and is VERY helpful.

Smart, but why do you need to prove it every change you get?
