Learner Reviews & Feedback for The Modern World, Part One: Global History from 1760 to 1910 by University of Virginia
About the Course
tracks the transformation of the world during the 1800s. Part One concludes as these bewildering changes seem to be running beyond the
capacity of older institutions to handle them. Throughout the course we try to grasp what is happening and ask: Why? And the answers often
turn on very human choices.

Excellent if concise overview of a fascinating period of Global History. Presented in a very engaging manner but with a logicakl structure to tie together what often appeared to be disparate strands.

Such an informative course, and it linked together different regions & events; that's something only top-level sources of education does. I will no doubt continue on with the course to Part 2.
