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.

Great course, but the quizzes are not quite there yet. They focus too much on minor details and the questions are sometimes awkwardly phrased.

Good teacher, great range of topics, great reading. Only problem was that allot of the external links didn't work and sometimes.

Excellent content, but - in my opinion - too much additional reading as it took up a lot of time to get through the literature.

le cours était instructif et enrichissant dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de sous-titres en français sinon il n'y a rien à redire
