Nice little overview

Revisado: 01-20-25

This was a cute little lecture. Nothing devastatingly clever or unique, but it was a fine overview of the history of feminism.

Awful narrator, interesting content

Revisado: 01-02-25

The lecturer is a combination of childish,condescending, and disingenuous. What she is saying is both interesting and coherent, but the delivery is maybe the worst I’ve heard. Maybe this is an American thing, but the male narrators on the great courses don’t do this. Very odd and disturbing. Other than that it’s a fair short intro to personality testing.

Keep your

Revisado: 02-20-23

religion out of the classroom. Ick! Shame on you great courses. It has a lot of interesting points, but slides off into some sort of sermon in the end. Which is also completely inconsistent with the actual academic contents.

Exceeded expectations

Revisado: 01-22-23

I learned so much I didn’t know about the teenage period. Not overly American, though she does seem to think everyone listening is from the US, and that we all have similar experiences of “dating” culture. Still very very informative and well done, with a fair dollop of humanism. I would’ve loved a longer version of this. Preferably one which would have tackled special need kids as well.

US second World war perspective

Revisado: 06-25-22

This series started out strong, and it had some very good points. The battle of Stalingrad was engagingly described. As soon as the US entered the war, that was pretty much the sole focus. I’m sorry to have to break it to all those happy Americans: y’all aren’t the center of the universe. It was a shame, because honestly that perspective isn’t all that interesting. Otherwise, it did have a lot of good information, a little attempt at actually covering more than just the European front etc.

Eye opening, fun and engaging.

Revisado: 09-22-21

I’ll miss these lectures! I hope this professor writes some books I can disappear into (preferably in an audiobook format). I’ve learned a lot I didn’t know, not just about the early Middle East (I do wish there had been more about the time before Muhammad), but about the world in general.

Great book, fantastic narration

Revisado: 01-26-20

I had been putting off getting to this tomb of a book, only to find myself utterly absorbed by it after finally starting this audible book. I think I may have gotten in the members benefit program (which is now unfortunately no longer at all an actual benefit), but I would definitely recommend getting this version.

The narrator has such a scope and great feeling for this text, I feel like it gains a lot by her reading it. One small issue is the German pronunciation, of the few German quotes in the book. You could tell she tried, but I could still not at all understand it. It would have been nice with translations of the French (and German, for those who do not speak it?) quotes (oh, how educations have deteriorated!). Still. Five stars all the way

Great story, usual Stephen king ending

Revisado: 10-12-19

I haven’t indulged in any of Stephen kings novels since I was a teenager, and it was enjoyable to let myself get sucked into this story. The characters are interesting and nuanced in the first part, and in usual stephen king style (it, the stand) he goes completely crazy and ruins everything in the end. Too bad. Still worth a listen or a read. Maybe just stop half way through.

Eye-opening !

Revisado: 08-08-19

I can’t believe how little I knew about this subject, so central to European history. It’s perfectly delivered, and endlessly engaging. I can’t wait to listen to more courses by the same lecturer. I hope his students appreciate him.

The advertising is erroneous

Revisado: 06-23-19

This is possibly the worst language course I have seen! They literally just repeat a bunch of completely random sentences slowly in danish. “I am bisexual”, “the advertising is erroneous”, “can I come home with you?” And so on. I kept waiting for “there’s an eel in my hovercraft”. Reading the danish dictionary may prove as effective a learning tool as this complete madness. I hope audible will let me get my money back!
