About the Course

south-eastern Turkey, and Western Iran. In its geographical extent, this state was unprecedentedly large, and the distinct geography of the
Middle East, with deserts and high mountain ranges, posed challenges to communication and cohesion. What were the mech...

The variety of presentations of a vast amount of knowledge made it engaging. Dr. Radner herself was engaging! The course provided a deep look into a civilization that is a bedrock to the modern world.

I have absolutely enjoyed this course on Ancient Assyrian Empire. The lessons were rich in content, its' presentation of a very high order. Professor Karen Radner is objective, scholarly, and cheerfully unbiased in evaluating one of the most influential civilisations in Human History. The supplementary material to the lectures and question-answer videos, had the learner wishing for more. But to anyone interested in Ancient world and its most dramatic age, I enthusiastically recommend it as a 'Must Do' course.

My impression of the course is quite good as I have learned a lot about the Assyrian Empire and about issues I did not know. But I was disappointed that at the end of the course I did not have the certificate of having done the course.

Mi impresión del curso es bastante buena pues he aprendido mucho sobre el Imperio Asirio y sobre cuestiones que desconocía. Pero me ha decepcionado que al finalizar el curso no haya contado con el certificado de haber realizado dicho curso.

I enjoyed learning about a part of history I knew nothing about. The history is a bit dry at times but they used lots of different methods of instruction to keep it interesting. I especially enjoyed the white-board history lessons! I would have liked to learn more about the archeological basis of the history that was presented, this was occasionally referred to but would have liked to have understood more how the have built the historical picture.
