Has a lot of funny stories to tell. Lectures are quite interesting, Assignments are reasonable Exams are extremely easy

Awesome prof! Outlines for assignments are clear and he is a very fair marker. Final exam is a breeze if you've been to most classes

Thoroughly enjoyed this class, the professor was hilarious and made it more interesting.

French and so funny!

Sebastian is so funny & makes all the information really fun to learn. He's french so his accent is pretty thick, but easy to follow when you're trying to. Slides are super detailed so you don't HAVE to go to class but lectures are full of hints for the exam. Buy the textbook and keep up with the cases! Assignment outlines are clear as day!

Professor Malette does a great job at explaining & clarifying terms. Go to lectures, do all the readings beforehand and make sure to listen because he always gives explicit hints as to what's important for the exam. (Did a "Crash Review" before the midterm, told you exactly what to focus on) Super nice guy & hilarious.

French accent, but easy to understand. TA's do the marking. Gives great review for exam. Reading a must. Gives great examples and slides are easy to read. Not to hard on the s either!

Malette is a great professor. His French accent is hard to understand at times, but he usually corrects himself and you can tell that he tries. He uses humour to drive his lectures to make them seem not as long, and usually gives a 10 minute break halfway through. Gives clear reviews before the midterm, but does assign a lot of reading.

I had him for my Law and Aboriginal Peoples class. He is very helpful, very straightforward in what he asks for in terms of assignments/readings/exams, and his class is not particularly stressful. Everyone else says his French accent makes him hard to understand, but I disagree as it is not very thick. Also uses alot of humor. Would recommend 100%.

absolutely hilarious and extremely intelligent! Sebastien knows what he is talking about and you can tell he cares about what he is discussing. His exams are straight forward as well as his assignments. MUST attend lectures but his lectures are fun and go by fast. would definitely take his class again.

Awesome professor, very laid back and tries his best to make sure that everyone understands what he is teaching, very funny and hilarious man who is always telling jokes. Would definitely take another class of his again. Exams are super easy if you attend class.

One of my favourite Profs yet. He is very funny and approachable. He is very passionate about what he teaches, which makes you want to engage even more. He goes further than expected to ensure the class is keeping up with the info. This was by far one of the lectures I looked forward to going to each week. I would definitely take his class again.

love his class

whenever he says "HINT, THIS WILL BE ON THE EXAM" it will literally be on the exam. Therefore, attend all the classes and mark every single thing down and you will receive 100% on the exam (which was a joke. everyone finished within 30-40minutes and it was a three hour MC exam. Essay is reasonable (10pages) and easy reading reponses i.e free marks

He kept it as fun as you can when you talk of such dry topics at times. He pretty much tells you whats on the final if you pay attention.

Solid guy; easy to talk to and was always open to schedule appointments outside of class. Always trying his best to help students.

Super attractive. Has a french accent so you have to focus on some of the things he says in order to understand. My favourite prof this year. Best dressed, very passionate about what he is teaching.

Malette is great! Some find his accent hard to understand knowing french helps since he will translate things from english to french and vise versa. Best dressed prof ever. Show up and pass, he tells u what will be on the exam and tells you what pages of the textbook to read if there is a difficult concept. One of the best prof's I've had this year

I love this guy. He explains things very well, he gives you lots of hints on what's going to be on the exam. The assignments are really straight forward and explained thoroughly. You will pass this class with a good grade even if you hate law.

Sebastien, is on of the best profs I had all year. LAWS 1000 is generally a dry course but he is able to spice it up and make it enjoyable to learn. His review for the midterm and final very extremely helpful. He is very approachable and is generally quick on emailing back. He is a prof that will go over papers again if you didnt agree with the ta.

Sebastien is Cool and Charming. The only SCC that matters is this one.

I absolutely love haveing Prof. Malatte he makes law very interesting and fun to learn and that is very hard to do with law. Out of all my profs malatte is the only one I actually look forward to coming to and learning from. His french accent makes it even more interesting and fun to listen to and his occasional jokes or comments he makes it great.

Professor Malette makes coming to class something to look forward to. He's extremely funny and takes time to make sure his students understand what he's lecturing. He also makes the extremely dull and boring class less dull and boring. He uses pop culture to get his points across.

Super easy going and takes students into consideration. Explains everything and uses notes in the slides if their are words or cases that can't be understood easily. Makes law lectures not too bad because he tries to joke around with the lecture class and asks us life questions or tells us a funny thing. He has an accent but is easily understood!

BEST Prof. Don't go to class & you won't pass. Great atmosphere in class! Readings are optional but will help you understand better.

Amazing prof! Never out to make students fail even though law is a tricky subject. He went through all 80 FINAL midterm exam (fall) questions to make sure we understood and it was super easy and clear. Would take again in a heart beat.

I wrote something nice before, but the computer didn't believe I'm not a robot.... so it got deleted. Great prof, funny, exams are fair, would take one of his classes again.

Really upset he changed his slides to prezi. Way too fast and unorganized method of presenting, makes me not want to go to class. Sorry.

Seb is a great guy, his Metis heritage adds a unique perspective and clarity to the confusion surrounding Law and Indigenous peoples in Canada. You will have to read to understand his material, but he does his best job to present the materials honestly, and truthfully. He is a trailblazer for indigenous scholars, Miigwetch Sebastien!!

Honestly best teacher ever. I kinda wish that he taught more class in law. I would for sure take it. DO BUY THE TEXTBOOK!!!

Honestly, he's the best

Seb is such an amazing prof! He is very passionate about the law and you can tell by the way he gets into the subject matter. Class is not mandatory because he basically reads off his lecture slides but throughout the year he point out info that will be on the midterm and exam. Makes every class fun and I loved attending.

Only assigned two exams in a full year course. Exams were completely multiple choice. The class was hard but not terrible. I recommend not reading the textbook until the you're studying for the exam since the readings are long and you don't need to know all of them. Sebastien is a funny guy.

Awesome prof. Always energetic and engaged, comments on current events and will tell you a ton about his family. Really nice, will push due dates if the class really needs it. Assigned readings but don't need to do them always. Does read off slides, so can miss if you get the notes from them later. All around really good guy.

A freaking angel.

Great professor - very passionate about what he is teaching which makes students much more engaged. He is funny, and very personable. He assigned unreasonable reading volumes, but sets up the lectures to cover what's important. Would take again!!

Have taken 3 classes with Malette and enjoyed every one of them. His English can be a bit rough but honestly most the time it ends in a joke. His lectures are easy to follow along, funny and he drops exam hints every class. His exams are always open book and very straight forward, if you attend class and study its an easy A.

Malette is one of the funniest profs I have had, he tries to make the lectures interesting by making jokes. However, his French accent can be a little difficult at times to understand. His lectures are extremely boring and the slides are heavy. You definitely should show up to class if you want to pass. Overall, the exam was pretty easy.

Great prof. Does a lot to ensure that you pass with a great mark. He also makes the exam super easy to do well, including specific exam review, and open book final. He also makes lectures super entertaining.

So the Class I am in now isn't done yet but so far it has been fine. My TA was terrible though. She didn't read the case for the assignment and never talked about anything relevant to the course in discussion . She also just up and quit halfway through without marking our assignments . I really like the class overall if you don't count that .

Really nice prof and interesting lectures. However, absolutely horrible TAs for his laws 1002 class, not sure if hes the one who chooses them or not.. Other than that would definitely give him a 10/10

Turns something of dry content into something entertaining and hilarious

One of my favourite Carleton University professors! Gives direct hints at what material will be tested. Lectures have a lot of slides but the material is extremely relevant and interesting. Strong French accent but does not distract because he is an amazing lecturer. Hilarious!!! Highly Recommend.

Great prof, funny, engaging and 10 out of 10 recommend

Prof. Malette gives you every opportunity to succeed (extending deadlines for the entire class, hinting at exam questions during the lectures). He also tries to make boring content more engaging with his ... unique sense of humor (which I find hilarious). Only critique would be his lectures are a little hard to follow at times.

I actually liked going to his lectures because he is funny. He somehow finds a way to make boring material seem fun. If you go to class he will give hints for the exam and you will do very well. However, if you don't go to the class you will miss out on a great prof and you will must likely struggle. GO TO THE EXAM REVIEW LECTURE and the PASS exam

He is one of the best profs at Carleton. Very understanding and pushes due dates for both Assignments. In the last lecture, he gives a very in-depth review which covers 85% fo the exam.

Super funny prof. Does all he can to make sure that you have everything you need to get super high marks in the class. Acknowledges when the material he is teaching is kind of dull and tries to get through those sections as quickpy as possible. If you have the chance to take his class, do it.

He is very specific on what he wants you to do for the assignments GO TO THE REVIEW LECTURE - he will give you 85% of the exam but it ain't on the slides Honestly the little testing sometimes made me confused on what was important but the review lecture where he read off of the exam really helped

He's a King.

Amazing techer

Amazing prof. For context, our class this year was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He was super understanding & accomodating. He is hilarious, mostly purposfully but sometimes also due to his heavy french accent. He makes law extremely interesting & throws in personal anecdotes that actually contribute to the topic. Great at answering Qs

Great Prof

Had him during the COVID-19 pandemic which forced all classes to go online - he handled the sudden change very professionally and remained very empathetic to the stress and anxiety that arose from the situation and ensured that we would succeed despite the change. He is a great prof, definitely want him to teach me again!

The best prof EVER, who truly wants his students to succeed and do well. A literal gem. Had him during COVID-19, and he's my only prof who actually continued to teach online, which goes to show what a great prof he is. Gonna miss not having him as my law professor next year, it's gonna be tough :(( WE LOVE U SEB, ur a real one.

Hands down one of my favourite law profs. He is very understanding and makes sure you clearly understand what is being taught in lecture. Makes lectures not boring and his assignments are fairly easy. He isn't about all memorization and is more on actually learning and understanding. Defiantly recommend taking his class 100%

A really great professor, definitely cares about his students and has your best interest in mind. Had him during COVID-19 and he really did his best considering the situation to try and accommodate everyone that was now having to learn online. His lectures are hilarious and he kept them interesting!

loved this prof !! makes material understandable

Had professor Malette during COVID19 and was one of the only profs to continue with live online lectures. He TRULY wants every student to succeed and goes above and beyond to make sure this happens. On top of this, his humour is unmatched and tries his best to make even the borings lectures quick and fun! 11/10 if I could

Extremely entertaining in lectures which helps in paying attention and I enjoyed the lectures quite a bit more than my others as a result. He was also the only professor I had that continued with live lectures during the COVID crisis. Helps you by providing clear grading criteria for assignments and important topics that will be on the exam

One of the best Law Profs I'v had at Carleton. This man is not only funny but a nice guy. He really wants all his students to do well. He was a big help due to the extra stress from COVID. This man has COMPASSION for ALL PEOPLE. I wish I could take this class over again, but I will be looking out for more classes taught by him. Thank you, Malette!

Best prof at Carleton. I never missed any of his classes because I found his lectures so interesting. Never a dull moment in his class, v funny and his exam is easy. Assignments are very clear and he gives you the marking rubric the TA's use. He gets off topic a lot so it's kinda hard to keep track sometimes but overall, incredible professor.

The best prof I've ever had in university. Had him in first year and I'm now going into my last year. Truly an amazing guy and so good at what he does. If you can, take his class!!

I didn't do a single reading both semesters I had him, just attended all the lectures, and I did great. Malette is great - he's passionate and funny and does his best. He does a lot of helpful stuff like specific exam review and hinting at specific questions on his exams. Loved his classes!

He's so nice and just gave out extensions like it was nothing. He's really understanding and just a great prof overall. I always looked forward to his classes, wish I had him as a prof again.

I had a positive experience in this class. You can tell Professor Malette is passionate about what he teaches and it shows when attending the lectures. Assignments are easy to understand and he is flexible with deadlines. Only thing I had issues with was following along with the lectures. He got off topic a bit, but overall, it was a great class!

This was the one online class I actually looked forward to. Professor Malette explains class concepts perfectly and you can tell he is passionate about the subject and wants his students to succeed. On top of that he is also super funny and chill (he will definitely make you laugh if you take any of his classes). 10/10 Prof!

If you rely on organized powerpoints, this ain't the man for you. BUT he really throws you a bone when it comes to the final exam, he's a real nice guy so he just really wants to save his students all the headaches he can. Also his lectures are quite entertaining, great first year pick.

His lectures were pretty interesting and tip, everything in his lectures are on his exam. I would not recommend purchasing the textbooks for this course barely contributed to my success in this course. the only problem I had with this course was that he didn't set us up to succeed for the written evaluations (two essays worth half our marks).

Great prof, obviously may be different online then in person but great guy and prof and I would easily have him as a prof again if I could!

Prof. Malette is a real gem. He cracks jokes and keeps the lectures fun even in a virtual setting. I would gladly take the course again.

A great experience! Prof is caring and upfront with students and his lectures are very interesting. The readings are MASSIVE but they aren't entirely necessary to pass as he covers lots of content in class and ensures the class is set up for success on assignments/exams. Definitely worth taking.

Very thoughtful professor! Extended the due date for a major paper by more than a week, criteria and rubric for assignments as well as participation marks very clear, made the LAWS3504 class interesting! The textbook for this class is HELLA THICK though, approx. 100 pages per chapter for every week. However, still an interesting read.

Fun prof but he can't stay on topic for the life of him. It was really hard to follow along his lectures since he'd be all over the place but he still managed to make class pretty fun. I didn't do any of the readings and still passed with a decent mark. He also gave out a bunch of extensions to the entire class if you asked :)

Professor Malette was such an amazing prof. He was super helpful especially when it came to our final exam, and was extremely flexible with due dates for assignments. 10/10 prof even though he would go off topic in his lectures, he made them enjoyable and funny!

Prof Malette is a genuinely caring man, he cares about his students and the content, and his lectures slides are always posted after class so it is easy to keep up with content, he also really throws students a bone with the exam and helps out as much as he can.

Really amazing prof, super sweet and funny! Helped the students when studying for the exam. Super easy and flexible with due dates and wants his students to succeed. 10/10 recommend!

Prof. Malette was a great teacher who created a class with the intention of having everyone do well. Although he often got off-topic during lectures, as long as you take notes and do the assignments you will do well. The final exam was a piece of cake and you can definitely get away with not reading the textbook if you read the slideshows.

Very passionate with LAWS3504. Made it very easy to listen and engage. He understands and gives the whole picture view of what he talks about with little laughs here and there. I would take this class again just for the professor.

Professor Malette really cares about his students' success and mental health. Due to strikes occurring at the end of the semester, he changed the assignments with advice from his students. He also decided on an online exam, and throughout the semester gave hints as to the most important material to study.

Prof Sebastian has to be the funniest most engaging Law prof at Carleton. He values student's mental health and has fun lectures. His slides can be phrased a little bit confusing, though. I took him for law 1001 and made sure to take him for law 1002 too due to how good of a prof he is. If you're in first year law, I recommend you take him 100%.

All I can say is that I love love love this professor so much and he is one of the best law professor's I have had. His lectures are intresting but sometimes has his transribed notes mixed up but thats fine since you can rearrange them. He actually wants students to understand his material and cares a lot about mental health. i highly recoomend him

He is a pretty good prof, though he does get off topic a lot. The stories he tells are always still relevant with what he was supposed to be talking about. The best thing about his class is that the final exam is an online, open-book exam.

For context, I am a CS student. Didn't read the texts once, I just typed up notes and noted down whenever he said something was important. Two essays worth 25% each, but TA's are nice. 15% tutorial attendance (ez), 35% final (online MCQ). Overall a great professor that sheds light on indigenous issues and how we can make a difference!

Very interesting lecturer, he is very easy to listen to and is an overall nice guy!

bro was a very easy professor because the class was in person but the exams were online which is key in law, he talks about how he wants his students to succeed. He does go off topic a lot and just starts yapping but he is overall pro students and gives good advice

Class was easy, great to deal with for assignment appeals. Certain required readings crucial for the exam. Lecture slides have majority of exam material do not necessarily need to attend lectures.

His a great proff, would recomand 100%. Some say its hard to comperhand because of his accent, but his more than fine. take his class trust me, its worth it.

Looking for an easy law class to pretty much take at your own pace? Malette's lectures are for you, he doesn't cover too much of the topic beyond what his slides read and readings are optional though relevant for the exam. He's caring for students and grades generously for a first-year class, I took him in Fall 2022.

Professor Malette's class was an interesting experience. While he sometimes got off-topic, his lectures were engaging and he was flexible with assignments. Using Unstuck AI alongside the provided materials really helped me ace the open-book final exam.

Very talkative but a very nice professor. He is super funny and actually wants you to pass. We had a case brief, mini essay, and a final that was online multiple choice. He recommended you get a textbook but he knows it is expensive so he put everything you need in his slides. Just take good notes on his slides and you'll do totally fine

Professor Malette is a pretty easy going prof, his final exam is online open book which makes it easy to do, he will give you whats on the assignment at the last class. Reading isn't required but can help. Beware, he will go on tangents about random stuff not related to the lecture at all, but he does care. Only 2 assignments and a final exam.

Prof malette is a great professor. The lectures are accessible outside the class through the slides, and attendance was not mandatory for lectures. If you go to a lecture be prepared for the professors off topic tangents he goes on regularly, but otherwise super nice guy. Assignments were clearcut and on the easier side, I would take again for sure

Graded off very few things, but he does tell you what's going to be on the exam at the last class. Pretty clear cut assignments, but look at the rubric carefully. Attendance isn't mandatory, but can help. He goes off on random long tangents all the time, and it can take him a bit to go through few slides. He is always happy to answer questions.

Course graded by 1 critical essay, case brief & online final with 85ish questions in an hour and 30 mins. Follow grading criteria to the tea and you will be set for a A+. Attendance isn't mandatory neither is readings as it's in his slides. SHOW UP TO HIS LAST CLASS FOR HINTS FOR THE FINAL! Can miss up to 2 tutorials as well.

His accent is easy to understand, he has a open book, online exam and no quiz, I would suggest to go to class because he drops hints / tells you what's on the exam on the last day, and ideas for assignments throughout the course. He tries to keep his lectures light and if you ask questions (even obvious ones) he is kind and answers. 10/10

Great professor! Really funny, his lectures are interesting you can really tell he knows and loves the subject, has great energy! Also very helpful, he prepares you for the exam really well. Textbook and readings arent even mandetory, his notes go over everything.

Sebastien is an outstanding professor! His lectures are rich in information & demonstrate his deep knowledge of the subject. He makes learning enjoyable with his humour and fosters a relaxed environment. Additionally, he is also very supportive in exam preparation, providing plenty of help to ensure students excel. 100% will take his classes again!

Sebastien is a wonderful law professor. He helps students prep for exams more than any other professor. He is funny, and although his lectures are information heavy, he ensures students are supported. He is very educated on law and shares a lot of stories that help make the course interesting. I will certainly be taking more of his classes!

bros locked icl

Just take his class.

Awesome course!

He is a funny professor and very nice. However, he is unorganized, but the material was easy to grasp. The course consisted of two assignments, tutorial attendance, and a final exam. If you go to the lectures, you will do fine.

Prof Malette is great, he talks a lot and rarely gets through material as he sidetracks a lot and talks too much. He focuses more on his notes rather than what he is saying. He gives breaks and sometimes lets us off earlier. Accent is not hard to understand at all, he is very funny, took him both semesters def recommend you take his class.

easy marker and understands students needs. lectures are impossible to understand, just read off the slides your own time and youll be fine

He has very good lectures and explains things well. There are only two assignments graded by TAs and a final so not a lot of work. Read the textbook if you want to understand more of what's going on

Great professor
