I enjoyed this course and it helped me to understand the basic parts of American Law. My only suggestion is to provide even more cases as examples to demonstrate the doctrines and statutes. Thank you.

A great first step on understanding the basic principles of American Law, providing an insight into impact on the systems we encounter on a daily basis and how these systems have developed over time.

I am happy I took this introduction course on American Law, as I got better grasp on legal fields that I never realized impacted my daily life. I always heard (from lawyer's opinions) that contract was boring by setting rules/regulations, but I come to realize it's those rules that set important boundaries and prevents unnecessary lawsuits. Though, as a consumer, I do believe the dominacy of drafting parties is unfair, as you either accept the fine print or forego the item. The Constitutional Law surprised me, realizing how much the law has changed over time, as well as the checks and balance powers has shifted, but I can apply that reasoning and notice that the modern day is not always representing that change of time. It seems the court's decisions lately are siding with their own beliefs and strictly following the Constitution, even though it is ambigious, as the founders' intentions were for the generations to choose the best fit for the current time period.
Personally, I enjoyed the professors and their teaching later in the course. I believe the examples of real court cases were helpful to understanding more thoroughly. However, my most confusing parts/concepts were learning about "pragmatism" and "substantivity." I am happy I got to retake the quizzes, as I thought they were final, which allowed me to go over my missed questions and try again. I chose to take this class, because I'm hoping to pursue a career in law when I go to college/law school, and I want to help people through the application of law. Thank you for teaching me some fundamental legal skills, and I believe these lessons will carry with me through my learning.

I found them in every week of the lecture trying to approve 2 points:
1- Why is our laws great
2- why is it different from other laws
which are mainly not the things I care about.
I care about how these laws work in general and maybe some of the interesting cases that happened.
Also I felt like the course wasn't really organized, like if we have a week to understand how that law connects to that law and how that law connects to the general map of laws (made up name)
But I felt that the things we studied wasn't really connecting to each other.
but anyway generally the course did it's job, and ironically I found the sixth week the most not boring one for some reason.
