TOP REVIEWS FROM ROMAN ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
I loved this class but the only reason I have to give it four stars is the over amount of peer review assignments that are extensive. Otherwise it's great but be prepared to work :)
Beautifully done! Very informative, moved at a good pace, and the lectures from Dr. Soren were delightful! I also really enjoyed the guest lecture videos and bonus materials.
An outstanding overview of Roman history via its art and architectural styles. Dr. Soren's lectures were entertaining and engaging, and I learned a great deal. Thank you!
To me, it is the best structured course so far. Quiz after every lesson and written assignment after every week. Also, prof. Soren is reproducing it steadily and in comprehending fashion.
