Prof Zelikow is FANTASTIC. I couldn't get enough of the lectures. LOVED this.

I thoroughly enjoy every lecture. I am aware generally of the history of this time frame from past classes and readings. I especially appreciate the "why" or "rational" behind the historical events that the professor provides. I am in my mid seventies, enjoyed history classes in college and leisure reading of history over the past 50 years. This class as well as several others available thru the coursera.org program have renewed my enthusiasm for learning. Thank you.

The best Modern World History course. I wish professor had a book on the course written by himself, he explains every event from a number of perspectives, which is absolutely great.

This course and its continuation should be obligatory for everyone to take either as an advanced course in high school or during college.

It will be very difficult for anyone to improve on this course. It presents in a superb way how the events in world history are interconnected, and analyzes history from numerous angles.

Interesting, well taught, and a great overview of some complex history

The excitement to discover why things happened is amazing. Congrats for everybody involved on this MOOC.

A great vision of history!

excellent course for those who have not studied history as part of their academic curriculum. Course is slightly from American(USA) perspective of world events but nevertheless is highly informative.

Professor Zelikow always does a phenomenal job. By far the best lecturer I have watched on Coursera. Thanks for the class, professor.

It is a unique course and I wish that all people heard Professor Philip Zelikows lectures

Excellent and intelligent

Really enjoyed this course!

A short course but with a great vision of the Global History of the 20th century. Philip Zelikou is an excellent professor.

Absolutely top course in every respect. Highly recommendable.

Wonderfully taught! Not just what happened but why it happened. This course, part one and part two, have really turned the light on for me, to see the significance of people's choices and how deeply every choice influences another

Brilliant teacher, wonderful course. This course allows you to not just have a knowledge, but an understanding of the modern world.

Just inspiring!!!!!

Clear and profound analysis of global history. Great professor

Es un muy buen curso para poder tener un amplio panorama del proceso histórico mundial del siglo XX.

Thank you professor Zelikow for this great experience.

This was a very good course as it highlighted the main actors and events of most of the 20th century, providing a very good knowledge base for further study, reading, discussions etc. The Professor was excellent in his presentation (and preparation) of the course, not only the written notes but also the verbal presentation that created, in my opinion, very good empathy with the student i.e. with me.

Great course.

The second part is also great like the first part...I deeply recommend

very useful
