Spring 2022 Course Evaluations

Below are the responses to the three open-ended questions asked regarding the instructor and the course. Please note, student responses have not been edited in any way. Blank pages indicate no response for that question. What aspect(s) of the course or instruction enhanced your learning? The guest speakers we had were great and really provided insight into the complex field. We also watched some videos which were very helpful as well to conceptualize the subject matter. The experiential stories from both Judge Eustis and the guest speakers enhanced my learning how these problems are addressed in real life situations in the Commonwealth. With speciality courts in particular there is no uniform way things are done, I do not believe this knowledge could be found in any reading materials. Definitely gained a better understanding from Drug Court but also the major challenges that addiction has. The Professor, Judge Eustis, was phenomenal. He provoked extremely interesting discussion and presented the material in a way that really drove home its importance. Additionally, the various guest speakers we had gave us multiple perspectives on the reality of the issues we discussed.
