This course moves along at a fast pace yet covers in much detail the main points and figures where this knowledge came from. I found it very informative and quite inclusive.

I enjoyed this course as an introduction to ancient Egypt. The professor's content delivery style and her explanations of the material were clear and understandable.

It was difficult to understand some of the words. When the words were not printed in English in the presentation, a few concepts were missed. The content was excellent. Really liked having the quizzes immediately after taking each class. This re-enforced the learning process. The amount of time per class was fine.

It will help if some of the terms used (specially names, places, etc.) could be written on the screen to easily note the terms, in some cases this is done, but in several instances, we need to look at the Quiz to try and connect the written text with the names mentioned in the lecture.

The material was interesting and very well organized. As i native Englisg speaker, I found it a bit disturbing the English dubbing while the Italian could be heard at the same time. I would have prefered a transcript in English. Having short courses is a wonderful idea.

Very good summary of Egypt from ancient times until late antiquity with good images. The only thing missing is a transcript in English. The English dubbing is reasonable but addition of English subtitles. Highly recommend.

This course was interesting but I have to take stars off because of a few matters; the pace of the voice over was fast - too fast - to fully take in everything that was being said, so each video had to be watched multiple times in order to take the quiz. However, I recognize that this is a downside to having a translation voiceover in videos that pack in as much information as these ones did. I also think the translation should be reviewed because there were a few times when what was said was clearly incorrect (such as an instance in which something was said to be millions of years old, which I can only assume was meant to be "millenia" instead of "millions" as even the conciderable span of Egyptian history is not typically measured in millions), and the information shown on the screen and what was said did not match (such as the section where the Lybian Dynasty, noted on the video as Dynasty 22, was said as Dynasty 21, and this was one of the questions on the quiz).

Very informative but pretty brief, some of the questions in the quizzes I felt like I had to find the answers for online - or I might have missed it in the lectures - and some of the information deviates from what's shown on pages like Wikipedia, but overall interesting.

Loved the info on Tutankhamuns leather sandals.

I´m just in the middle of the course and I have to say I am not satisfied. Of course, I will finish the course, it´s not my style to abandon what I´ve begun, but this course has many disadvantages/mistakes. 1. the professor speaks too fast and you have to stop it every time to make notes 2. there are facts and facts only - no deep thinking needed here - the potential of university-level history is not present here. 3. the quizzes are also just about historical facts, just remembering, no thinking required.

I thought the course was merely okay. The course touches on in-depth/advanced topics but doesn't take the necessary time to truly explore them. I've taken many other Egyptology courses, along with spending time across Egypt, and believe this course has incorrect information. The teacher pushes some info as fact, rather than a theory, which is actually the case in some situations. I didn't feel like instructor cared about the material either, she just ran through it haphazardly.
