About the Course

This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part Two begins early in the twentieth century, as older ways of doing things and habits of thought give way. What follows is an era of cataclysmic struggles over what ideas and institutions will take their place. The course concludes in the present day, as communities everywhere are transitioning into a new era of world history. Again we work hard to grasp what is happening and ask: Why? Again we are drawn to pivotal choices made at key moments by individuals and communities....

Excellent course. I learned a lot, enjoyed the experience. Prof. Zelnikov is a master teacher. Thanks for the opportunity to listen and learn even after eight years after production of these lectures.

auditors have to pay to see the answers of the quiz, I think the questions are stupid and we wont find out how they are unless we participate in the quiz.

For pay quiz feedback is not part of the MOOC education movement.

While the course itself is a bit outdated and skims a lot of history that is not Eurocentric the most irritating part of this course is the advertising. On the home page it says it is free, it also says a certificate will be provided upon completion of the course. I did the first part and received a free certificate however after finishing this one the only option I see is to purchase a certificate. It would have been good to have advertised that before the time commitment that was put Into this.
