Its short duration course but so much new knowledge and conceptual. Really like the way of Socrates questioning and moreover their analysis argument is whole new best ever.

This was my first online course. In a crazy year, the flexibiilty to reset deadlines was much appreciated. I enjoyed the grading system, especially when your peers are from all around the world.

Good course. Wish I could access comments from peer review or continue to access the course itself.

I loved it. I give four stars only because I think that presential courses are better.

A good introduction to Ancient Greek Philosophy, though not as in depth as it could be

I think it was an enriching course. Though not many other students to engage with.

everything is fine but the music before each lecture is so loud and annoying

The content of the course is quite striking since this knowledge is not found everywhere, free and especially taught by a connoisseur. However, the videos are quite tedious since, in my opinion, the voice and tone of the teacher comes a time when it does not transmit energy and therefore is tedious, especially because they could help her with images, examples, animations etc. that could be more interesting and even more striking.

The professor is animated and clearly loves her subject. I don't think we need to stop so frequently to ask a quiz question though. It's best to keep going on one subject without interruption.

To be modest and to avoid the feeling of guilt and stress I kind of want to avoid this course for right now. Many reasons why but all is well and forever will be.
