Reviews
Very well done, gives a good overview. So much that I didn't know/realize. Very pertinent today, timeless really.
I highly recommend this course, specially for people keen on law and history. The lecturer makes the lessons very easy to follow, and the content is interesting and very relevant nowadays.
Loved the course, great content, great prof., very inspiring - the only "minus" would be that it took some time to the written assignment marked.
This course was a great introduction to the United States Constitution. The material was given sufficient lecture time to allow you to grasp the information and it was not rushed through.
