I thoroughly enjoyed this course, and definitely learned a lot. As an international student, I do feel like this course was very America centric. But no complaints, since it provided an insight into the system that I did not previously have.

It was written that the level is beginner, but the terms and ideas used are harder to comprehend if the student is not from the US. It is so because the laws discussed are the US laws and if a student does not know them, then it is hard.

The course was particularly helpful introducing me to legal terms and concepts. There were times I felt that this could have been explained better, but overall would recommend. I enjoyed the quizzes and assignments.

The course was really hard at first but then I got used to the difficulty of the course. My only negative opinion about the course is that it was suddenly removed while there was support for Turkish subtitles.

I found the range of topics extremely helpful and relevant. There were some minor technical problems with regards to grading, but overall, I really enjoyed the learning experience from this particular course.

Very informative. Not for a beginner. The readings took much longer than estimated in the syllabus. Peer grading can be challenging. Much heavier workload than I expected but well worth it.

Great course. Very useful skills and helpful lessons. Definitely a lot of work and the lectures aren't incredibly intuitive, but useful if you are preparing for your first year of law school.

it is great for citizens students, However, the speaker uses such a little hard vocabulary to understand for international students as me. I really enjoy in this course. Thanks.

Very challenging but there are many lessons to be learned. Law is a challenging and complex field, and prof. Ayres comes at it with good analogies and helpful advice

The course was very helpful but with a lot of hint with American law in it. Which might not be as effective as it could be to students from other countries

The course was beneficial to me and I learned a lot of new things. I took one star because of the assessment of students who are too poorly evaluated.

Excellent course that covers a *lot* of material. The amount of reading far exceeded the estimated reading time of 10 minutes in almost all cases.

Fantastic course, but an estimated 10 minutes to read one or two law review articles is really unrealistic.

Since this course handles difficult context, it may be little bit hard to one who studies law first time.

Great course. Just a note, The course needs a lot more than 5 hours per week if you do all the readings

Simple and well explained, but perhaps more information should be put on slides behind the lecturer.

A broad overview, well communicated though, and the readings are useful for future reference.
