• Lots of good class materials
• Very realistic approach
• Tackling a major new project like this has, unexpectedly, taught me something about how to manage a law career as a whole.  It was that whole mentality this built up that has been the most beneficial to me.

2009 Sample Amendment

• Thank you for coming down here and teaching us throughout the whole semester.
  This course was the most practical course that I have ever had, and I think this will help me a lot when I go to practice.
• The class was quite demanding sometimes (as I feel it rightly should be), but the valuable experience and insight gained more than justify the time commitment required to reap the benefits.  Students considering patent prosecution work would do well to take your class.
• I wanted wanted to thank you again for taking the time to teach this class.  It has definitely been the most beneficial class I have taken in law school.
• Thanks! I learned so much more that what grades can reflect (especially what NOT to do!) and it has been really good to go through this entire process.
  
• I had a great time in your class this semester. It was easily the most hands-on, most useful class I have had in law school. Your feedback has been outstanding and your dedication to the course and to providing a realistic simulation has been unbelievable. I think we all hope that we'll have your drive to give back when we're 9 or 10 years into practice. I'll be in Chicago this summer putting my new skills to work. It would be a thrill to interact with you professionally at some point. My schedule for next year is still in development, but the Patent Clinic is definitely on my short list for the Spring.
• I learned more in this class than anything I have done in law school.
• I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed your patent prosecution course. I learned a lot in the course and I think it will really help me at work this summer. I know you put both a lot of work into the course and in commuting from Chicago every Friday during the Spring semester. I have all of your notes printed in a binder that I plan to use as reference for a long time to come.
• Also, thank you for getting our grades to us so quickly -- it was a pick me up to get good feedback before going into my final exams this week and next week
• Thanks again for the opportunity to take your class. I really enjoyed it.
• Thanks for everything. I really enjoyed the class and I think learned a lot. I'm glad I had a chance to work out some of the kinks before it actually counts. I'll be sure to let you know how the summer goes. I have a feeling my first-year friend at the firm is going to be jealous
• Thank you for your comments and patience this semester; I know you had a lot of work this semester, and I thought you should know that your contributions to the Law School do not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
• Prof. Barich's dedication to this class and the amount of time he sacrifices to make it excellent are amazingly inspiring.  Amount of feedback he provides is amazing.  Course was tough but fair.
• The course materials were excellent.  I will use these in practice.  Professor Barich is very interested in students learning the material. 
  
• [What aspects of this course were most beneficial to you?] Alerting us to the potential pitfalls of patent prosecution that we may not be aware of as first-year associates.
• VERY hands on and practical.  Best class I've taken to prepare for this 2L summer.
