About the Course

This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will offer the participants an introduction into the most important classical sociological readings between the 18th and 20th century. Highly influential social science scholars, such as Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim, will be discussed during 8 sessions. Combined with small tests, based on the video’s and recommended readings, the participants will be encouraged to dive deeply into the complex texts and get familiar with classical sociological concepts that are still very relevant today....

This is a quality course. The way it's put together and presented is excellent. The content is well thought out too. And the presenter is engaging and so is interesting to listen to.

a lot of typos, and some of the questions aren't worded very clearly, but otherwise it's pretty simple and easy to grasp

It seemed to me that it is a good introduction for someone totally new to the topic.

Worst Certificate ever. It seems Amsterdam University is ashamed of it since it's the logo is so small. It should not be the most important thing here. The professor is incredibly good as much as the didactics, however, don't charge money for a certificate not really in the same level of other courses here. Otherwise, it is the second time that the name of the course comes in a stranger language, although I specifically told my choice. Coursera now seems not been able to curb its cookies enthusiasm.

The final test is too long, it doesn't make any sense to answer 88 questions in 30 Minutes.
