Subject: Welcome to Week Two



The latest information from English Common Law: Structure and Principles on Coursera.

We’ve reached Week Two and we are delighted so many of you are logging on and taking part in the course- registrations now exceed 42,000 students. It’s been a great first week and we’ve been really impressed with the quality of the interactions in the forums. It’s brilliant that so many of you are willing to share your knowledge of the Common Law as well as your own legal systems. It looks like we’re going to learn much more than the course content during the next six weeks.

You’ll find this week’s materials on the Week Two page. As well as the lectures, there is a new reading extract and some more activities. Check out the information and activities in the Extras section as well.

We’re starting a new set of questions for the Forums this week so, while we’ve enjoyed the discussions last week, it’s time to move on and learn about different topics. You’ll find this week’s discussion questions in the Week Two section of the Forums.

We hope you enjoyed the social media / forum chat on Saturday and if you didn’t catch it, there will be another one this week at the same time – Saturday 8PM BST. Later this week we will also be having a live session with Professor Adam Gearey to discuss some of the issues arising on the forums- we’ll let you know when this will be soon.

We also want to make sure that we are listening to you and taking on your feedback as we move forward. We'd be very grateful if you could fill in this short survey to let us know about your experiences in the first week. It’s very short and it will help us provide the best service and create a better course for you. We always welcome feedback to laws.coursera@london.ac.uk at any time.

Later today we will be adding all the remaining lectures for the course to the course pages so that you can work through them at your own pace. However, we will be adding the forums, activities and additional materials only at the beginning of each week. Please note that the lectures are now also available on YouTube, mp3s and mobile downloads as well as from the Course Pages.

Thanks for all your contributions- we really hope you continue to enjoy the course and we will try and do our best to make sure it is fun learning experience for you,
