Reviews of professor David Blankfein-Tabachnick

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. DBT's property class is fun and enjoyable. I really feel like I have a decent understanding of property law after his class. I feel that I can rattle off the rules, and property law even invades my life while I am attempting do every day things. His teaching is clear, concise, and hilarious. DBT is available and very friendly.

DBT is an amazing prof! He makes this difficult subject much easier to understand and he leads students in the right direction during lectures instead of putting them down. DBT is also a great resource. Get to know DBT outside of class because he will be happy to help you with your job search, especially if it involves applying for fed. clerkships.

I loved him all semester. He cares about his students and genuinely wants them to succeed. That's not what comes to mind when I think of him; his final does. It isn't a test, it is a race. Your grade will be determined exclusively on you ability to type faster than your classmates. Very few people finished it.

Professor DBT's syllabus was carefully designed and thoughtfully selected. He conducts lectures like directing art performance and makes every student involved as a co-performer! He is like a grand tour guide. Following his teaching, a semester is just like a beautiful academic journey!

DBT is a great professor. He is very knowledgeable on the subject matters he teaches and makes his lectures enjoyable to listen to. He is very clear about how the final exam will look so be sure to pay attention.

I was in Professor DBT's Property class, and he goes above and beyond to help students be successful in his course. For each lesson, he does a review and lays out a game plan with the main terms and themes. His exams are fair and follow only what was covered in the reviews (no surprises!). Plus he's always available to chat if you have questions.

I went out of my way to take this professor repeatedly. Most recently, I had him for Trusts and Estates. Lectures are engaging, straightforward, and interactive - great for bar prep! Participation ups your grade but will never hurt you. Very accomodating with covid-19 and was my only professor to record lectures so we could listen on our own time.

He is an okay professor. Very intelligent and you learn a lot but his final exam is a terror and sucks. I did okay on it, but it is just insane. He also did not adjust well to the Covid-19 pandemic. He did not give a word limit on the final making it unfair for those who wrote 7,000 words compared to those who wrote 5,000 like he asked.
