Learning is hardwork but it can be fun. Professor Law tries to make the lectures fun and creative. He goes out of his way to reach out to those students who need him most. He encourages his students to review/study while in class and stay ahead of him by reading ahead. He encourages his students to get involved with what they learn through field trips and attending concerts. He maintains an online site to assist his students in reviewing extensively illustrated lectures, doing review quizzes and assignments to prepare for the tests. Teaching sessions and concerts are announced in class the attendance of these allows students to learn by experience. Students could review course content, tests, listening samples and lecture notes in this site. Power Point files of his lectures are also published in his text.

Friends and relatives of his students from around the world can view concerts through the world wide web.

Thus, it is not just specific knowledge and training in one field, but a rich, broad mix of science, philosophy, arts and letters. Pedagogy and Learning are both empowering and liberating. The teacher becomes a better teacher because s/he learns from and inspired by one's students. Students become better and more learned persons because teachers impart not only knowledge, but also inspiration, conviction, ideals, and values."
