Comment :
I took this course online. I found it very time-consuming. Although the prof obviously put a lot of effort into the materials and the course, it was very demanding and the work required a lot of reading. There was a book report, online discussions, and some essays. The majority of the information was rather boring for me, but the course covers a lot of time periods/countries, so hopefully there is a little something for everyone.
