Loved this course

Revisado: 07-17-20

I came into this course with very little sociology experience. I was really surprised by how much I ended up learning. Prof. Simmons is obviously a leading researcher and teacher in her field, and provides countless interesting tidbits about how human groups functions and why they do what they do. Always backed up by data, Simmons is the perfect guide to introduce you to the foundational concepts of Sociology.

Relevant for the Modern World

Revisado: 11-11-19

Nouwen is a really great teacher. He writes beautifully about profound ideas, but never gets lost in the clouds. I highly recommend this book if you want actionable advice that will help improve your relationship with God in everyday life. The narrator (Colborne) does a nice job, and strikes the right tone and pace. 5 stars.

Loved It

Revisado: 10-18-19

Carmichael is one of my favorite Learn25 presenters. He was the perfect choice to present this type of series, considering he runs the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College. I found his stories about soldier's everyday lives refreshing, and a nice departure from the endless names and dates you sometimes hear historians rattle off. Highly recommend this one for any one who wants to get a sense for the defining conflict of American history.

Hudson's a Gem

Revisado: 10-18-19

Hudson's delivery is smooth and polished. As an accomplished boxing judge, you get the sense Hudson really knows and loves 'The Sweet Science.' This program is packed with fascinating anecdotes about some of America's most well known fighters and biggest title bouts.

Fascinating Course

Revisado: 10-18-19

I think most people would agree relationships are one of the most important aspects of life. And yet, it's so difficult to find real, substantive advice on how to create a strong social network or healthy intimate relationship. DeWall's course is a breath of fresh air in this regard, as he cites extensive scientific literature that explains how humans can better relate with one another. Highly recommend this one - it may surprise you.

Fee Does it Again

Revisado: 10-18-19

Chris Fee is a gifted teacher. He combines an astonishing breadth of knowledge on a vast array of topics with a warm and down-to-earth demeanor. This program covers a number of mystics, ranging from borderline household names (such as Meister Eckhart, the inspiration for the book "The Power of Now") to more obscure characters like Richard Rolle of Hampole. Fee provides an in-depth description of each seeker - you can tell he's done his homework and really engages with the thought of these spiritual guides. 5 stars.

Profound Reflections on the Meaning of Life

Revisado: 10-18-17

I really enjoyed listening to this series from start to finish.

Dr. Consolmagno - a Jesuit brother and an MIT-trained scientist - speaks compellingly about the intersection between science and religion. Throughout the program, he demonstrates why both fields are indispensable in man's search for higher truth. I can't imagine a more knowledgeable or qualified person to lead talks on this subject.

Despite the weighty questions he deals with, Dr. Consolmagno injects a good deal of humor and irony throughout the program. His energy really is infectious. Can't recommend enough!
