Exactly what I needed. I thought I knew a fair bit about medieval female spirituality, but this course provided a fabulous look into areas and groups I have never discovered. Thank you!

Highly recommend this course for all who would benefit from learning about the middle ages, especially the spirituality of women.

This course was completely fascinating and I thoroughly recommend it. The contents and structure were great and professors were all wonderful. Initially I found it hard to understand the videos due to some speedy talkers and strong accents so slowed them to 3/4 speed and put on captions. There were some really terrible mistakes on the captions, someone needs to review them urgently. But these are very small quibbles overall for a course that I truly loved.

La verdad es que me ha sorprendido gratamente y lo recomiendo. He disfrutado mucho y me ha animado a conocer más de cerca a las mujeres con voz propia del medievo, verdaderas fuentes de inspiración y testigos para todos los tiempos. Muchas gracias a la Universidad de Barcelona por este MOOC. ¡Ojalá haya muchos más asÃ! Gracias también a Coursera, ya que de no ser por esta extraordinaria plataforma, no me hubiera sido posible acceder a esta oportunidad.

How I enjoy this course! And how important it is! For we basically never hear about religious women in the middle ages, and I gained so much fantastic knowledge here! Thank you to all involved in putting their efforts on spreading information that are not easily accessible to the grand public and in mainstream media. Great public service on helping disseminate the voices of such interesting and wonderful historical women!

What an interesting course, rather unique. It could be a little hard to understand some of the speakers, so I used subtitles for some of them.
At the end of the course, there is information about a wonderful website they've made about monastaries / nunneries in Spain--it's so well done, I'll use it the next time I take a vacation there.
I thank them for offering this course!

An introduction to an topic that is a little uncommon. The detail and level of scholarship is impressive. The course covers a lot of ground very efficiently and with great enthusiasm. Whilst ranging over western European Christianity it has an interesting focus on the history of women's spirituality on the Iberian peninsula with a particular emphasis on Catalonia.

excelente curso con un enfoque novedoso y actualizado del papel desarrollado por mujeres en estos periodos tan poco conocidos, por lo menos para mà Como Profesora de Literatura fue muy placentero acceder a los espacios privados de la mÃstica. Sumamente interesante el aporte de Victoria Cirlot al que accedi por la web.

Very informative course!! I enjoyed it a lot and learned things that I never knew about women's spirituality. As a religious studies minor I was very pleased with all of the information that was provided in the course and now have a new interest in this topic :)

The course brings me to a new level of understanding about women's spirituality in the middle ages. Their hardships and perseverance have been the legacy for the voice of many women who are promoting social justice and peace in today's world.

This is an amazing course to learn more about history and how the female movement nowadays were influenced by the women who want to express their spirituality in the past.

Muy buen curso.No lo voy a terminar por la dinámica de la universidad de barcelona de no hacer los cursos en español.

Great course! Wonderful information provided with valuable bibliographies so I can continue researching the topic. The presentations were beautifully shot and the presenters interesting. I learned a great deal. My only criticism regards the quizzes and assignments. The initial quizzes often focused on side issues and some of the answers were actually wrong. So it took me several times to pass the initial quizzes which may prove too discouraging for some people taking the course. As evident from the forums, there were also issues around finding people to grade one's assignments. However, I would readily recommend the course and am very glad I completed it.

Los contenidos están realmente bien. Es un curso muy completo e interesante. Sin embargo, las transcripciones de los vÃdeos deben ser revisadas y mejoradas, pues hay un buen número de palabras ininteligibles, además de errores que dificultan la relectura una vez finalizado el vÃdeo (como los comandos para la itálica, que no sólo no funcionan, sino que son ilegibles para el cuadro de texto que presenta Coursera). Son pequeños fallos técnicos a mejorar, pero el curso es muy recomendable.

With several things to be improved, this course is best for those who "only want to learn history but don't care about quizzes and certification". I have learned something, which is pretty good, but I wish that there had been more support in learning or assignments. Some quizzes were not very helpful, and the instructions weren't exactly clear. Still, the content is interesting.

A very interesting course, from which I gained a lot of new knowledge from an engaged team of teachers.
Overall I was very satisfied with the course. However, a point of irritation was the weak - English - transcript.
This was obviously done by someone that had not listened very well to the text - and surprisingly, the team and Coursera let it pass as well.

A really enjoyable and intriguing course that opened up a whole world to me. As I have poor internet, I mainly worked from the transcripts, which are hard to read as they are mostly not broken up into paragraphs. they also contain the occasional solipsism. I am an avid lover of Catalonia and Barcelona, so this course was perfect for me.

Es un curso realmente interesante sobre el rol femenino en el mundo espiritual en la Edad Media. Me ha encantado cada uno de los temas. Lo recomiendo totalmente. La única pega que pondrÃa es que a algunos de los ponentes no se les entendÃa casi al hablar, y era complicado seguir la clase sin los subtÃtulos.
