Attending this course really helped me a lot. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the preparation and presentation of the course.

I learned so much from this course. Highly recommend for undergraduate archeology students or anyone who is simply interested in archaeology.

Due to english been the second language of the lecturers it was difficult to understand them resulting in me having to print off hard copy of the lectures. This was not the course I thought it would be I was looking for a course designed to teach the techniques required to participate in a dig i.e. drawing a cross section of post hole

The English subtitles and transcript are incomprehensible. I can't say if the course materials are any good because most of the time I had no idea what the presenters were talking about. This has been brought up multiple times over the last five years or so but nothing has been fixed.

Interesting content but the bad English grammar makes it hard to get through and sometimes simply incomprehensible. I dropped the course after the second week because of this.

The English pronunciation of the speakers is pretty bad, and the slides are not very appealing (textwalls and so on). Quite unlucky, as the topic could have been interesting.

Course content is quite interesting, but it is a real pity that the english is so bad. Sometimes the lessons were very hard to follow and the quizzes often made little sense.

Very interesting course material, however, texts are often in such bad English that they are incomprehensible, and the staff does not react in the Discussion section.

Extremely difficult to understand due to the language issues in the videos and poor translation of the exams.

The material was very interesting but the lecturers were often very difficult to understand.

I was very excited by the topic of this course, but quite disappointed when I finally started it.
The content of this course has little to do with its promising title.
In fact. the content lacks any coherency. There is no logical development of the course content - it's all disconnected facts told one after another.
Another factor is the delivery. I know the teachers are Italians & English is not their first language and that is fine. But they are just reading out the content - that's all. They are just passively reading the content from somewhere so it is hard to concentrate because the interactivity value is zero and their accent takes some time to get used to.
Both content and delivery of this course were disappointing even though I was (and am) really, really interested in this topic.

Section 1 was good, but The videos of Section 2 are unintelligible. The instructor talks too fast, the language is not translated accurately and cannot be understood. Way too many names and places are given at breakneck speed in a monotonous tone, again with bad translation.
The first instructor for Section 1 videos sounded like he understood what he was saying, and made it fairly interesting.
At this point, I don't think I can continue, if it remains this bad.

How do I enroll from this course? I have no chance of erasing this course to appear in my courses. The language of the lecturer is very difficult for me to understand and this is too dry and way too didactic to be of interest to me. Thank you

Interesting subject matter, but difficult to understand as a native English speaker. Very awkwardly worded and error-ridden tests.
