Opiniones y comentarios de aprendices correspondientes a Roman Art and Archaeology por parte de Universidad de Arizona

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.

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.

Un genial profesor.

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

Best for those who really love history and archaeology !!

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

So very interesting. Great instructor

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

Its a great course. Thanks.

Bastante didáctico e conciso en la información que entrega

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

Really enjoyed the course! I wish there was some funding mechanisms to make this lovely person from a developing country to pursue a Masters or PhD.

One of the best courses on Coursera. Informative, clear, interesting, entertaining.

Great course, superb!

Wonderful experience

Fantastic course, both interesting and informative. Writing weekly essays was interesting, and peer grading was challenging. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this course!

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

This was an exceptional course and covered a wide array of subjects from dendrochronology to art, architecture, political events and much more. The name of the course doesn't do it full justice. One of the best courses I've taken.

Excellent job on content selection, visual materials, reenacting clips, guest lectures and presentation! Truly appreciated Dr. Soren's engaging and pleasant lecturing style - his passion for the subject is truly contagious and inspiring. Thank you for putting together such an informative course that gave a good picture of evolution and demise of the Roman Empire, but did not overwhelm with too many dates or characters - not an easy thing to do given the complexity of the history and the time span covered.

I loved this course so much. I have learned a lot more about the Roman world, it's history and people

Interesting and informative course. Very good

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.
