What was the overall quality of the course (presentation, materials, and technical delivery)?
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?
Excellent.
The Course was excellent! I especially enjoyed Judge Keasler in "Ethics for Post-Conviction Lawyers," the session on ineffective assistance of counsel and appellate tips from the experts.
This was attached as a supplement to the seminar for criminal appeals. Several of these topics had nothing to do with criminal appeals or criminal law in general. I would suggest that next time all of the topics deal with criminal law or appellate procedure/law.
More criminal topics would be useful in this course for criminal practitioners, but there were a few standout exceptions-- like Katrina Grider's employment law talk.
nice addition
