Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message Jurisprudence, itself, is interrelated with other areas of the law. Therefore, please review the contents of each lecture again after studying other parts of the justice system so that you will be able to have a deeper understanding of the Governmental System.
Lastly, I hope that you will not merely memorize the contents of what is being discussed in each lecture. Rather, try to understand why such a system exists from both a historical and theoretical background.  
Other   
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
