Meilleurs avis pour HISTOIRE DU ROCK, PARTIE 2
par AWFeb 21, 2016
Similar to Part One, but continues with the history of rock into more recent times (1990s). Very short course compared to the other one. Pros and cons from Part One apply to Part Two.
par MMSep 23, 2017
Excelent. Actually now is more fun to read about musicans (recently Iggy Pop & Black Sabbath) because context is better understood. (A bit weird that Tom Waits is not even mentioned)
par NBOct 31, 2015
John Covach's lectures are clear and well-thought out, and he does a good job of fielding the "fan mentality" that so often plagues other rock history and music history courses.
par LKFeb 13, 2018
John Covach is a fantastic teacher that has a obvious love of music in general. I would definitely take other courses from Mr. Covach if they were offered. Great class!!
par AHDec 19, 2015
Amazing course, very academic and objective and yet extremely enjoyable. I'm very grateful for coursera an Prof Covach who made it available and easily accessible.
par RWAug 15, 2018
Love these two courses.I new alot of the topics but was suprised with a few of the topics.very well organized and understandible.Thanks for a fun course.
par JDSep 7, 2017
Fun topic although having only a person talking can make the course tedious at times. Would be good if there was a Spotify playlist for the course.
par RLOct 6, 2015
Very interesting information. I lived through a lot of this material so it was doubly interesting. Very thorough, unbiased and informative.
par WCMar 31, 2017
More than a course on history of rock, is a course on history of culture and american society in the 20th century. Recommended.
par GHJun 23, 2016
A great course especially if you follow along with the book and use the extra videos and music links from the book's website.
par SAMar 9, 2017
Loved and truly enjoyed this course! I kind of feel sad it ended. Huge thanks to John Covach for his great enthusiasm.
par BBFeb 17, 2020
Good course but too much focus on US and UK and too much on racial and gender issues - focus on the music
