I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this course and how valuable I've found it. I'm doing a social sciences degree and this course has helped me contextualise the things I'm studying.

Professor Phillip Zelikow is so sweet and passionate and its crazy how we are still struggling with the central conflict of the Hundred Years' War, "How will we organize modern societies?"

I think the course is interesting, but very general.
The lecturer is very good and all presentations are clear.
There is a lack of references and links to self-study.

Very broad history, good for people who want to cover a lot of basic history. The professor is easy to listen to and gives great examples for better understanding!

Very informative and well presented. This course is a good way to begin a study of world history by providing a foundation from which to start further readings.

I WOULD RATHER NOT JUST VIDEOS BUT VARIOUS MATERIALS. THEY COULD HAVE YOUR LECTURE MORE DIDACTIC AND ALSO PLEASED. NEVERTHELESS, IT WAS AN EDUCATIONAL LECTURE.

Interesting & provided broad coverage of world events. I'm not good at subjects like History so I struggled. Hopefully I will retain some knowledge

I liked the approach of the topic and the narration style. The focus on finding reasons behind historical moments is a good feature of this course.

A great course that provided an excellent overview of a huge amount of material, and did it in a way that made it understandable and digestable.

Very interesting. Delivery was somewhat dry and the Quiz questions are a little tricky, but overall I learned a bit about history.

Very engaging professor, easily understood. The obvious editing was very distracting and made one wonder what was being deleted.

Course presentations are very, very interesting. However, quizzes only very poorly assess the knowledge of the participants.

A veces la dinámica del curso fue muy monótona. Del resto estuvo excelente, corto y comprensible.
