Rich
in
content
-
The
courses
were
rich
in
content,
applicable
in
everyday
life
and
the
technology
was
user
friendly.
The
videos
were
quite
interactive.
The
illustrations
were
wonderful,
and
the
backend
help
from
Professor
Campbell
was
spot
on
at
all
times.

am
immediately
putting
the
knowledge
acquired
to
use
as
new
international
opportunities
are
beginning to open up for my firm. Dorathy Achumba, Nigeria
Practical,
useful,
and
informative
-
The
online
classes
were
so
practical,
useful,
and
informative.
Moreover,
we
had
the
freedom
to
juggle
our
careers
and
courses
due
to
the
flexibility
of
study,
Plus,
it
helped
us
to
reduce
the
costs
of
our
LL.M.
programs,
expenses
such
as travel and accommodation. Sara Moaddeli and Mohammad Fallahsefat, Iran
Truly
engaging
-
I
can
give
you
feedback
now
and
that
is
WOW.
It
is
educational
and
practical.
For
the
initial
three
modules,
there
were
several
"ah-ha"
light-bulbs-going-off
moments.
The
use
of
video
recordings
makes
it
truly
engaging.
Not
to
mention
the
volumes
of
materials
to
prepare
myself
as
fundamental
rudiments
of
the
respective
subjects.
5/5
definitely.

Koh, Singapore
Content
is
substantial
-
The
course
introduces
the
main
content
of
how
to
apply
for
recognition
and
enforcement
of
foreign
court
judgments.
The
content
is
substantial
and
not
boring and can fully attract attention. Yaying Wu, China
