This has been an enthralling course which introduces you to the world of the Ancient Greek. Thank you Prof. Andrew Szegedy-Maszak, and all the course creators and mentors, for this excellent course.

I loved this course. The only criticism I have is that a lot of the links don't work.

The course is ok. But we need really less lectures and more application based courses.

The information was interesting and divided up so that it made a connection between the readings and the lectures. However, the speaker seemed uncomfortable and did not present himself well. More photos and being shown the pictures longer with him speaking behind them would have helped. Looking at little pictures on a computer/TV screen behind the speaker didn't help. Poor presentation although good subject matter.

Many of the links were broken so I had to outsource a lot of the reading assignments, but overall the video lecture portions of the course were well laid out and informative.

Purtroppo devo dare solo tre stelle perché molti dei link proposti durante il corso sono scaduti o non funzionanti. Ottimo insegnante.
