Let's have a look at the set-up for Ramah

How a phd student can mark three different modules?

Oil&Gas, Admiralty and international trade law.

I would like to show you guys the feedback or how she marked the courseworks, honestly it's more than ridiculous.

Moreover, It is an illegal practice, which means that the university isn't that serious as much as they want to appear.

Swansea is my regret, I suggest you guys to go somewhere.

Kind Regards.

Dear Spitsos and Rama,

I would recommend Swansea for sure but I have to say I am biased because I chose to do my LLM there instead of Soton or Bristol so I obviously thought it was the best place for me (and I was right!!) I actually went there on the recommendation of a friend from home.

No offence to Bpvoy4 (he is entitled to his opinion), but I really feel like he's actually giving you the wrong facts and complaining about the wrong things. To me it sounds like he got bad marks or something and is upset about it - they are tough markers in the LLM, I admit that I was often very stressed during the coursework period, but it paid off for me in the end. The lecturers were always very supportive when giving feedback, from Bpvoy4's post it sounds like he didn't go to get personal feedback - but I remember when I was there that you were supposed to go to the lecturer's office and get advice for improvement if you needed it after you got your feedback form. Richard Williams and Prof. Tettenborn did it all of the time, and Professor Soyer used to reply to my emails with suggestions.

I went to Swansea not long ago (I don't want to say how long because I don't want you to know how old I am!! But it was less than 3 years ago), so I know the quality of teaching there is extremely good. Many of my classmates (including myself) have become successful in practice or in academia (for the ones I have not kept in contact with, I have been to the alumni dinner, where I have seen proof of their successes). Some friends went back home to work, some stayed in London and others have gone on to do PhDs in other institutes (or even stayed in Swansea).

I was shocked that Bpvoy4 critized Prof. Iwobi (the lecturer he calls an 'undergraduate' lecturer) because he was really good. I was not taught by him, but I have friends that were and he was described by them as diligent and very intelligent. I cannot believe that Bpvoy4 is such a snob, does he think that lecturers are so dumb that they can't teach LLM and undergraduate?

My final point is the PhD student. I did not have any PhD student teaching me when I was there so I checked the website, but I could not find anybody. Luckily I have a friend who is doing a PhD there and I asked him about it. He told me that he thinks he knows the person being described. Apparently this woman is a lecturer at the university who might also be doing a PhD there part-time to further her research in her area - he has met her a few times. Apparently she is very good and she gave seminar classes in different subjects. Personally I can't say because I was not taught by this woman, but my PhD friend said that she is in her own office which says 'lecturer' on it, so she is definitely separate from the PhD students and is a full-time lecturer.

I really enjoyed my time in Swansea, I thought the teaching was very tough, sometimes it was a real struggle but the lecturers were very good and the administrators were very kind. The only complaint I have is the weather, but then the weather is worse in Bristol and Soton.

Choose Swansea!! My old LLM home! If you have any questions I am happy to answer them in a private message or public post.

As the Court of Appeal judges sometimes say 'I concur with my learned colleague'. I also studied at Swansea a few years ago and my experience was amazing! The programme is very practice oriented, the School was very supportive, but most significantly the teachers were superb. It was a unique experience to be taught by Professors like Tettenborn, Williams, Soyer and Caddell. They are truly professionals but what I did not appreciate when I was a student was how well they are connected to the legal practice and how much
they are known and respected in the market. A few years later when you work in practice as a result of the degree you have, you realise pointless it is to worry about courseworks and why you were graded 63 % not 65% in a coursework. Trust me PGT experience is more than that!

Hello everyone,

And Tabetha, who gave us the seminars, was brilliant: very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. I do not where BPVOY4 come from, but she was very well prepared for the seminars and her feedback (like in all of my modules) was very constructive. And she is not a Phd student, she is an appointed LECTURER.
The Director of the Masters and all members of staff are very approachable and always happy to help.

Dear classmate,

1- Tabetha is a PHD student you should be more informed about your lecturers. A phd CANNOT MARK coursework or any kind of exams.
2- the careers fair was quite ridiculous, as much as the employability sessions was as well.

"The Director of the Masters and all members of staff are very approachable and always happy to help". I definitely disagree with that, for many many reasons.

Hi bpvoy4, I am messaging you in regards to your posts in respect to the maritime law. I have not studied at Swansea nor i am planning to, but as I have read your argument in regards to someone undertaking a phd and teaching at the same time i would like to offer you my knowledge on that. The fact that someone is doing a Phd does not mean they can not teach. Someone can be an appointed lecturer and do a doctoral research at the same time. For example, if someone who has a degree, an llm etc is appointed at X University as a lecturer, teaches there for 5 years and then decides to undertake a Phd at the same time, would you not consider him a lecturer? You need to understand that a Phd is a doctoral research in order to further your knowledge, even without the Phd you can still be a qualified lecturer. There are hundreds of lecturers who udertake their Phd while teaching. So please do not disrespect other law students posting on this site by telling them that they don't know what they are talking about, do your research first. I do accept that you might not like the style of some lecturers as this is quite subjective; however this is one thing, while arguing that they should not teach because they are doing a Phd is another.

Re topic about which university provide best maritime law LLM program, it very much depend on you want from the program.

If you are after the reputation then as my noble friend flori said Oxbridge or Ivy would your choice, but apparently they do not provide a Maritime or Commercial LLM.

If you are after practical knowledge then you should go to instidute which has more connection to the industry and practice. At the end of the day, your employers do not care what kind of degree you have, but what you can do and bring to them. I suggest you go to their website and check I believe you will have your answer.

It is only my opinion and all of us should be more informed about the phd. I can tell you that a phd student can mark undergraduate but not master essays coursework or exams.. my friends are doing their PHD in well- known universities in Uk and no one of them mark any kind of essays/coursework or exams.
The last year se wasn't an appoint lecturer but only a phd.

Dear torey_gagnez I'm quite happy with my life and I respect my lecturers I have only expressed my opinion and laid down my experience.

Hi, your friends are not able to mark essays becauses THEY ARE NOT LECTURERS! Doing a Phd does not mean you are an appointed lecturer! But if you are an appointed lecturer it does not mean you can not do a Phd! As i said I know nothing about Swansea, but looking through its site I found Tabetha, she is an appointed lecturer thus the fact that she is undertaking a phd is IRRELEVANT! Why? BECAUSE SHE IS AN APPOINTED LECTURER/TUTOR!!! Also looking at her qualifications, she has a law degree, an MA, an LLM and she passed the LPC, so she is more than qualified to teach and mark! Hence she is an appointed lecturer!!!! As i said in my previous email, a lecturer who has been working for more than 10 years could decide to undertake a Phd (and i know many), would this in your opinion prevent him from being a lecturer? That would be stupid wouldn't it ? So please get your facts right

I do not want to enter into a pointless debate which seems to be a personal one but I can safely say that anyone questioning Swansea's reputation and standing in terms of shipping and trade law in the market CERTAINLY DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE about the market! I regard myself lucky to have a degree from Swansea and securing two jobs in the shipping world since my graduation is a proof of its standing!

Hello Kosta, hello everyone,
as far as Swansea's reputation and standing is concerned I absolutely agree with you.

However, I am not absolutely sure about the "proof":

I regard myself lucky to have a degree from Swansea and securing two jobs in the shipping world since my graduation is a proof of its standing!

英語がこのフォーラムは、使用しようとするか、英語を話すだけ西洋人は、このウェブサイトにアクセスする必要があることを唯一の言語であると言って全く法律はありません。私は私の仲間の日本人学生にいくつかの助言を与えることをしようとしていますし、それには何の問題もありません！あなたの高度を変更して、侮辱的なプライベートメッセージを私に嫌がらせを停止する必要があります。

This forum, the Westerners, there is no law at all to say to be the only language that there is a need to have access to this web site you can either try to use, and only English-speaking English. I am trying to give some advice to Japanese students of my fellow, and there is nothing wrong with it! There is a need to change the altitude of you, to stop harassing me a private message insulting.

Ok I think I got your point. As most people here don*t understand Japanese, it may be a good idea to open a separate thread in Japanese.

[OK]を私は理解しています。ここでほとんどの人は日本語が話せないので、私はあなたが日本語で別のスレッドを開く示唆。
