par LA20 août 2020
The course is great. I got tired in the last weeks (4 and 5) because then it goes too much into war, however the overall material is an amazing source to rethink the images that surround us.

This course provides students with the tools they need to analyse and understand visual history along with its deceiving nature that derived from the very character of film properties.
par DD18 mai 2021
It is a very informative course for history enthusiasts. It encourages critical thinking and interpretation of history in a unique way. I enjoyed and learned a lot in the 6 weeks.
