I enjoyed listening to Prof. Zelikow's lectures. This course has shown me a historians perspective on events of past and present. It is empowering to see how much humanity has achieved in such a short time and how many mistakes were done during the process.

I found Part Two much easier to follow because I stopped taking notes. The professor's speaking style is so informally formal that it's easy to understand and remember. His passion for history is obvious when you combine looking and listening.

The course was excellently built for both beginners and scholars. The questions and quizzes were really stimulating. Thank you.

Well presented with reasoned arguments, some of the slides needed to be clearer especially the maps

The teacher was rather informative, he analyzed the subject to its detail i am very satisfied.

Very enjoyable and informative. I'd certainly take other courses by the same professor!

Better way of showing how finance,politics and war can interact with each other.

Deep views. The why part o things is something very special.

I think the course content is global history US in center.

It´s a very excellent course of history!

Well created lectures with clear ideas.

Very interesting and engaging

Excellent course, simply.

Worth your time !

We need less lectures and more application based courses.

Very few o no information about the Latin America

The lecturer was slightly monotonous and really has missed out on key factors such as Weimar Republic etc in this course. Moreover, the course seems very opinionated and ends of the wars seems to be just glossed over into economic terms rather than historic facts. Battle of Okinawa, death of Hitler, battle of somme and verdun seem like key parts not tackled efficiently. Quizzes rely too much on rote knowledge and the lecturer's opinion rather than what one should take away from the presentations. Also, coming from India and also having stayed for long in the Middle East, the entire picture given by the lecturer of these regions seem to be quite flawed as the picture is very narrow.

The course offers a traditional mainstream view of global history biased towards the US. Western perspectives, empires and realism are emphasized. The Global South and cultural and social history are largely neglected. The course could be improved for example by guest lecturers coming from different cultural contexts offering diverse perspectives and local expertise.

Might be an instructive course but the guy who presents it is really creepy. And knowing he was involved in the official 9/11 report makes him hard to believe on any issue.

auditors have to pay to see the answers of the quiz, I think the questions are stupid and we wont find out how they are unless we participate in the quiz.

Great course, but it's misleading. doesn't tell you from the start that you have to pay for it.

For pay quiz feedback is not part of the MOOC education movement.
