I would agree with Rose, with the proviso that I don't know Ross Aylward. Ciaran is very helpful. He is quick to respond to e-mails. He has a very logical approach to his lectures, and he is very clear. Equity has been predictable thus far, but with criminal there is no escaping the fact that you have to know pretty much the entire course. Ciaran does the Saturday equity classes, while Philip Bourke does the weekday ones.
