Reviews of professor Jason MacLean

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Jason MacLean holds people accountable to a high academic standard. This means he forces you to do the readings and participate in class discussions. Don't make CANs, don't miss class and don't skip any readings and you will be okay.

Captivating lectures. Gave me an extension so I could consult Indigenous elders in respect to our class project. Made himself available for questions to clarify expectations. You get what you put in, hes a fair marker and gives valuable feedback. He is open to opinions that differ from his own and genuinely seemed to value our thoughts in class.

After open-mindedly sitting through 8 months of his genuinely interesting lectures, (despite his tendancy to interrupt, belittle, and misinterpret his students), his midterm was essentially a philosophy exam while the 100% final exam was basically an Indigenous Studies exam. Although entertaining, he failed to prepare us for upper year contract law

Would recommend that you do not take a class with him unless you absolutely have to. He is VERY unclear about the expectations he has for his students and fails multiple people every semester.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Worst experience I have had at USask or in general. Gave students terrible grades for attendance since they didn't attend class in a program that is advertised and operated as asynchronous. No way to participate in class as he talks for 1.5 hours straight, belittles his students, extremely arrogant and pretentious attitude towards students.

MacLean belittles his students and his own personal views of the law prevent him from providing a well rounded overview of the topics that should be discussed in class. I found that when I started practicing, I had to re-learn contracts law in a more unbiased way. His teaching style is entertaining and his test are very lecture specific.
