smooth and clear delivery. excellent info. very enjoyable!

The lecturer and course materials are excellent! Very well organized and explained. Thank you very much, Prof. Zelikow.

Philip is a god.

Interesting topics

A very useful (and actually very rich) overview

A true talent to make it simple (honestly emphasizing that the interpretation grid is to some extent chosen by the professor !)

Great

Great course, nice community, much engagement. Thank you for this.

Amazing course, great professor! I can´t wait to begin Part 2

This is a very good course with one of the greatest teachers I have ever seen.

The course is very informative and useful , and easy to understand the concepts.

An analytical and coprehensive presentation of the most important century in human history focusing on interpretations of stunning developments rather than a dry quote of dates and names

Absolutely amazed with this course. Philip is extremely knowledgeable, gives you the baby steps in order to understand each class. I'm looking forward to take another class with him. Couldn't recommend enough!!

Increíble síntesis de los hechos que definen el mundo moderno.

The course is good, but requiring a purchase to do the quizzes is not.

Great professor!

Dr. Philip Zelikow was really thorough and amicable in the way he lectures. He's done an exceptional job in fusing the historical patterns of history with that of modern events, thus allowing us students to understand and relate to the importance of these historical events even better. Thank you, Dr. Zelikow!

Very informative course. Highly recommended.

Awesome high level view of history.

I was interested to learn History but books were so boring for me, so I chose Coursera and now I can explore World History, how global forces interact with each other and influence lives of people in the community through this course.

Throughout the course Dr. Philip will not only explain about the history but he also tries to reason "Why it happened ?". In some of the videos, he even decodes the message hidden in art works of the past.

It is indeed a fascinating subject which is beautifully narrated. I look forward to take the second part of World history.

Thank you

Muy bien presentado. Una perspectiva esclarecedora de una época esencial para comprender nuestro presente.

very interesting

Zelikow is great at explaining things. Would love if the slides were downloadable and had a bit more content in them.

Professor is clear and goes at a great pace. I like how he tackles the deeper things in history; ie, the how and why, not just the what.

Me gustó mucho. Aprendí mucho y me agradó bastante que nombrara a mi país, Argentina, como faro mundial a principios del siglo XX. Lástima los gobiernos autoritarios que vinieron más tarde...

Dear Professor,

I am fascinated with week one, even though I work in the scientific side, also like history, nothing more rewarding than visiting and ancient place and know what happened... Thanks

The course is really interesting with and provides a great, broad perspective on the events of 18th and 19th Century. It's not focused on the dates and single events, but rather looks at the processes their origins and consequences. The lectures are a pleasure to watch and are packed with facts and analysis. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn more about the modern history!
