highly recommend

Very highly recommend to any librarian needing a course for copyright law or someone simply interested in the field.

very helpful

They used a couple of legal terms during one of the videos that I had to go look up, but other than that, the content was very helpful and I will definitely use the handouts they supplied.

The videos and transcripts of those videos is very helpful.

This was a very helpful and thorough refresher of the copyright class I took while earning my masters in library and information science several years ago.

fair use

This course improved my understanding of copyright law especially when it comes to fair use for educational purposes.

It was extremely informative, the format was simple and straightforward, and it served as a great springboard for getting me started on the right track to understanding copyright and fair use (that can be overwhelming and intimidating).

required readings

At times I would miss these required readings on the outline.

Other times I would think they were required readings for the upcoming unit, when in actuality they were still part of the required readings for the previous unit.

each unit

However, it might be better to place the Supplementary Readings after the Essential Readings for each unit.

The quizzes at the end of each unit should be placed at the end of each unit.
