TOP REVIEWS FROM THE ANCIENT GREEKS
A Great course. very Informative I recommend it to all who want to learn a lot about the ancient Greeks their culture,history and contributions to today's society.
The lecturer was quite knowledgeable, but I think he needs to work on his presentation a bit. Particularly at the start of the course he didn't quite know what he was trying to say
This is the first course of this type i have undertaken and prompted me now to do many more, i have learnt so much and enjoyed the experience immensely.
thankyou for the opportunity
An outstanding course. The lectures were well presented, the review quizzes thought provoking and the readings were enjoyable. Thank you for providing the course!
