LLM study guide author: 'Admiralty law'

“It was a pleasure writing a course for External study which requires different skills from either teaching or writing a textbook. The author has to imagine that the student is there, ready to ask questions relating to the learning activities.

Furthermore, the author has to engage in a personal dialogue with the student. There has to be encouragement for students to proceed to the next section. It was a great help for me, and I trust for students, to have my textbook as a main guide for the course.”
