Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
Did not get through all the material.
Excellent course for the beginner. Learned a lot.
Some of the time stated on the videos was not accurate to the videos posted.
Volume transitions between presenters could create problems, but was really good considering everyone was adjusting to COVID 19.
Comments from the 2020 Immigration Removal Proceedings Live Webcast
Very educational and informative. Thanks
For a "basics" course, the 4 presenters did a fantastic job of filling in knowledge gaps with the most recent case law. A really helpful presentation even for veterans.
Technical difficulties interrupted the flow quite a bit, but I think it will sort itself out in future presentations.
Some important cases were mentioned without citation.
The overall quality was affected by the technical difficulties that arose, but otherwise very very good.
