Loved it:) The instructor was truly great at explaining things. However it's a bit slow-paced / almost boring during certain parts but I think that is due to my points of interest.

Crystal clear concepts, good animations. Although, I was hoping for the inclusion of more Thinkers to the course. But, the content and explanations were just outstanding.

What a super teacher! Great course - learnt a lot. Just found the last questions in each quiz a bit 'odd' - the ones where it asks which quote is best.

An interesting introduction to sociology given by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Why, I even now have a Norbert Elias book on my Amazon wishlist :)

It's well explained in videos. However, if you are not a regular English speaker (or native in fact) it's kind of difficult to undertand the books.

Very good intro. Being a Engineer with a couple courses of humanties, this was a solid base for further reading. Pay attention to the readings!

I'd highly recommend this as an introduction to Sociology. Particularly beneficial for those with no previous experience of the subject.

Questions in quiz are repeated at each level, it will be better if asked other related questions at least in final quiz.

Good introductory course. Might be worth reconsidering the format of the final exam with its over 80 questions though.

The treatment of Comte is overrated, while the importance of Marx is underrated
