Reviews of professor Randall Abate

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I love Professor Abate. He is very passionate about his work. He seems intimidating at times, but if you take the time to talk to him, he is very helpful. He pushes you to do your best and engage in the material. I found him very inspiration and enlightening. It is a somewhat tough course, but I think everyone should take a course with him.

This professor is a very hard grader and takes joy in seeing his students fail. Makes you read at least 5o pages per night. Treats undergraduate classes like law school. The quiz was 15 multiple choice questions based off of over 250 pages worth of material. The answers are purposefully set up to confuse you and make you fail. He is very boring!!

Extremely knowledgeable professor who works with each student individually. He will make you work hard to earn an A, but in the process you learn a vast amount. Only take his class if you are passionate about the topic and/or have an interest in law school, in which case his class will be invaluable. Take his class if you want to be challenged.

Professor Abate is excellent. Though the course can be daunting, he allocates enough time to cover the topics and front-loads most of the requirements for smooth sailing near the end. Often a tough grader and big on participation. Takes his time writing detailed feedback on assignments. Cares about students' success and shares helpful materials.

Professor Abate offers a valuable educational experience that I feel so lucky to have had! He is so organized and clear and has so many years of experience within the field of environmental and animal law! You truly are learning from the best of the best!

I have taken three classes with Professor Abate and while none of them were "easy," I learned a great deal both about various topics in law and how to write effectively and concisely in an organized manner. Class is discussion heavy but if you do the reading you will be able to follow. Always write down the notes he puts on the board.
