Great content, the teacher makes it easy to understand in few minutes the general idea of every topic

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.

I love what I'm learning and the way the teacher carries himself while explaining.

The professor is very knowledgeable and engaging. It is fascinating to hear every word he says. I like the way he analyses WHY this or that happened and what we could learn from an event.

Excellent course, very complete and insightful

Elegantly composed, clearly articulated, brilliant analysis of modern world history from a primarily political aka "diplomatic history" perspective.

Interesting and well presented.

Why questions are so much more important than what.

I have already done this course before. Now I wanted check do I remeber everything or not. I'm very satisfied because I can say 'YES', I remember nearly all material and I would like to thanks for that course. :)

Extremely interest course. Learned a lot. Really puts everything into perspective. Professor tells history like a story.

Great course. Interesting and engaging lectures. I enjoyed this professor's talks very much.

Excellent insight, clearly understood broad presentation of ideas. Excellent communicator, this was by far the best course I have taken in Coursera.

I learned many new things from this course. I believe it will an excellent background to understanding the World Wars. I am particularly interested in World War II and the Holocaust. I look forward to the next course.

My first course completed at coursera. And i really would like to recommend it to others. The informations are delivered in such an informative and interessing way.

Phil is a great history teacher!

Nice!

Really great. A big thanks to the professor for the big effort and clarity of explanations

really excellent . Looking forward to the second part

excellent teaching and interesting development of the history.

Very well done.

Prossor Zelikow does a fantastic job with world history!! He gives a wonderfully refreshing "Big picture" view during this period of time. Thankfully he constantly reminds us of the "why this happened" instead of the usually boring "and then this happened..."

Crystal clear presentation and wonderfully informative!

Highly recommended.

I found this course to be extremely interesting and very well presented by Professor Zelikow. I was impressed with his deep knowledge of the subject and the way in which he could draw on wider lierary and artistic materials to further elaborate on the topics he discussed.

Very good, concise, relevant and with an excellent presentation. Gives you the big picture on history and also offers an insight in the decision making that shaped world history. Also it offers a big picture, focusing not only on Western history, but on China, Africa, India, Japan, Latin America and the Muslim world.

Excellent!

good refresher, events of the period pulled together well, pleasant to listen to

A great course in a narrative view , and mainly focus on "Why this happen"~~PS:The professor is very charming~~

An absolutely great course.
