I find the course comprehensive and balanced. However, when the lectures are in English, which is not the instructor's native tongue, the result can be a halting delivery. While this does not impact the video so much, I find the transcripts can be difficult. When the instructor pauses to order his thoughts and words, the transcript all too often shows a period, creating a disjointed narrative; among other things, there are words misunderstood ("designer's" for "the Zionists"); the dreaded apostrophe ("it's" for "its"); words missing (so guesswork is required to maintain continuity), when a little more effort may fill the gap. I feel some editing to produce a more readable version (though not a verbatim copy) would benefit all.

P.S. I found similar problems with "Russian History: Lenin to Putin".
