the so called peer-graded assigments do not add anything to the value of the course, I would say on the contrary. otherwise, a good overview of the Roman civilisation and culture, although major aspects are missing; the language, the impact on the western modern civilisation, the literature, the daily life of the Romans, etc. Professor Soren is a very nice presenter of the course, although review of the past lecture would not be superfluous.

For a course on art and archaeology, there seemed to be little shown. More time was spent with Dr. Soren sitting behind a desk or standing at an empty site, usually reading off the teleprompter. This course lends itself to a lot of visuals, yet that part of the course was very skimpy. And why the old movie trailers? Why did we see a whole video on Troy? This isn't even Roman, beyond the fact that several emperors likened themselves to Alexander and some Hellenistic art influence. That's not what the video referenced. Again, it was just about the discovery of Troy, historical, with no attempt to make it relevant to the course itself. I know some historical background is needed to keep the work in context, but this was more of a history class than an art-based one. And as much as I love dogs, was that really necessary? Trying to be funny or cute didn't work.

So far I like the course.

It is not easy and requires lots of study but very interesting in facts, knowledge and information.

fantastic

The course was a great experience for me. In addition I like the little dog. She was not always interested but a very helpful auditor.

Solid course for those interested in Roman History. A little meandering at times with tangential diversions into stuff like Marine Archaeology and even studying history through Tree aging but interesting and well paced most of the time.

good

Un genial profesor.

Amazing and entertaining course! I totally recommend to everyone looking for a broad panoram on Roman history.

Bastante didáctico e conciso en la información que entrega

Its a great course. Thanks.

Amazing course. Dr Soren did a great hard job. The course has a lot of information, interviews and proffesional films.

Enjoyable & informative. A great warm-up for going back to college.

Thanks!!

Lively and interesting course. I particularly like the side stories involving how ancient items were made and used.

Best for those who really love history and archaeology !!

So very interesting. Great instructor

I really enjoyed this course and the information taught by Dr. Soren!

super engaging videos!

Wonderful course on Roman history and archaeology. Enjoyed it very much.

Loved it, a great starting point for anyone interested in the roman culture/art/architecture.

I strongly recommend this course of Archaeology because it is made with a great love of Roman history and it is very interesting. David Soren is a passionate orator and it is a pleasure to listen to him and the others collaborators, which are very passionated with Roman history too.

Very informative. Good choice of assignment questions. Beautiful pictures to support the lectures.

Excellent course supported by great visual material. THank you.

this course helped me sooooo much

Interesting and informative course. Very good
