"I really enjoyed the informality of the course, but the best part was having access to Naomi's brain and formidable knowledge! Naomi clearly had a plan for the sessions, but was very happy at addressing questions from the group and seamlessly switching to the relevant course materials to reinforce a point. It was much more enjoyable than a course about advanced copyright had any right to be!"
