Thank you for preparing such an informative course from an objective perspective and allowing us students to gain a new view of seeing thi s still controversial-topic. It was well informative and fun!

Helpful and insightful. I try to learn as much about witchcraft and all religions as I can. The first set of videos were well lit and well read. I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn more.

Although there was a sheer volume of information, I'm giving one star for the actual execution of this course. The first two weeks were pretty decent and the content was interesting. The third week was horrible in that I wasted my time on an essay in which I followed what was asked of me but "didn't meet the criteria" after the fact. How?? Oh, because it wasn't explained clearly. I see I'm not the only one in the review section that has had an issue with that. The fourth week was absolutely even more terrible than the third, with two gentlemen bombarding us with names and dates at a record-breaking speed without really tying everything together. It was very boring but I decided to stick it out. Fortunately in week five, the essay expectations were clearer but waiting around for peer reviews is not something I'm ever interested in doing again. This particular course as well as Coursera in general are not a good fit for me.

I only took Chapter One, but the scoring system didn't work no matter what I did. Interesting material but if the quiz won't function, there's not much point to taking the course.
