This course is complete and does offer very good information on the music, stories, and art of the American South. I really enjoyed the blues music information presented to students.
por SDFeb 18, 2019
I watched many of the videos. It was very interesting. I particularly liked the stories/video clips of musicians. I do hope you have seen The Song Catcher..this reminded me of it.
por ESAug 13, 2015
One of the greatest courses I ever followed!\n\nInteresting, documentary, not even one minute boring, very well organized and easy to follow.\n\nMusic is part of our history.
por CCAug 25, 2015
Bill Ferris is a wealth of knowledge and experience - I only regret missing out on the classroom dynamic of a Ferris-led discussion of Southern arts, particularly the Blues.
por EMOct 4, 2015
Amazing course! Conversational, relaxed lectures that are well-informed, paired with excellent archival footage--mostly generated by the presenting professor.
por CWApr 19, 2018
Very interesting and informative course, I have a better understanding of southern culture, the stories, music and art I often heard my grandmother speak of.
por EWSep 23, 2015
interesting, the photos, the film and voice records really bring us back to the time in the past, which also help me know what the real south is.
por DAMar 28, 2016
Started this course, but had to stop initially because I started a PhD. But I couldn't stop thinking about it so resumed the other day. Loved it.
por MFFeb 3, 2016
This has been an interesting and informative course. It would be nice if Prof Ferris could produce an intermediate course on the same topic.
por BGNov 27, 2015
An excellent course. Truly informative and engaging. I recommend this course to those interested in the Blues, its history and birthplace.
