Amazing course! Conversational, relaxed lectures that are well-informed, paired with excellent archival footage--mostly generated by the presenting professor.
Great Material. Quizes and discussions didn't work, But i was only auditing the course. There is a wealth of information.
This has been an interesting and informative course. It would be nice if Prof Ferris could produce an intermediate course on the same topic.
An excellent course. Truly informative and engaging. I recommend this course to those interested in the Blues, its history and birthplace.
