Very well structured course that allows you to make an interesting first "dive" into English law.
Strongly recommended for those interested in acquiring preliminary knowledge of English Common Law.

A comprehensive introduction to English Law. The lecturers outline things in a very clear manner and the readings cover the topic well. The quizzes are quite demanding. It is a very enjoyable course.

slow peer review but good quizzes

Let's start with the good: 1. The course gives the basics and covers many areas. 2. There is a glossary. 3. Basic concepts covered. Precedents, courts, EU, Constitution. 4. Discussions. They take up a lot of space in content that is scarce! but it’s very nice that our opinion is asked and you try to involve us in all sorts of activities. Very cute actually) Cons. There are more of them: 1. VERY LITTLE MATERIAL. I completed the course by speedrun in few days. At the same time, I read and watched everything mandatory. It is written that with hard work you can complete it in 3 weeks, but there is too little information for 3 weeks! 2. The information is superficial. By the end of the course, I still did not understand what common law, distinct court and secondary legislation are. I had to google all this extra. This didn't happen in my previous course, where everything was explained. Like, guys, you didn't explain ADR and asked to answer the questions about it. 3. Big job at the end. I didn't expect this. It seems to me that there is not enough information for us to study the entire system at least superficially and find shortcomings. 4. Nothing about EHRC. I wanted to take the course for my project, but in the end, unfortunately, I found very little useful. 5. Texts are little. You can read them in 2 minutes rather than in 10 or 20. Little to note. No clarifications. Like the difference between tribunal and ordinary court is that firsts are informal. And? That's it. No more differences talked. 6. Some documents does not open! Magna Carta is one of them! Anyway, thanks for the course! It was exciting, I improved my English and killed time. The certificate is beautiful)

Confused as to why participation with peers was optional throughout the course but compulsory at the end. I am extremely disappointed that this was the method used to determine if someone will receive a certificate or not. I enrolled in the above because I wanted the knowledge but had absolutely no interest in interacting with any other student. Yes, the overview of the course speaks about quizzes, peer review etc. but it is unconscionable of you to make participation with peers optional from the beginning of the course but make it compulsory at the end. If in the first instance, this would be compulsory, I would have withdrawn from the course.
I really enjoyed doing the course but my inability to get my certificate has left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I will not make the mistake of signing up for any other course.
Please update your questions for End of Week Quiz 6. The EU questions are in relation to elections in 2014. There was an election in 2019.

I've never taken the course, or signed up for it. I have no interest in this course. I write to Coursera and get it deleted from my profile, then it goes a couple of weeks and gets added again. The course keeps coming back like a bad venereal disease. So I decided to give it a bad rating. Maybe by doing that it won't get added to me again. It's a shame that people have to resort to such desperate tactics to get deleted from a course.

I've got a 99% showing as overall process but it's still not showing what the remaining 1% is. I've been trying to figure the remaining 1% by doing the whole course all over again n still it's showing 99% only. I really need this certificate.

Even though I spent hours doing the coursework, my progress would never show 100% completed even though I am not taking this class for a certificate.
