This is a survey of modern history from a global perspective. Part One begins with the political and economic revolutions of the late 1700s and tracks the transformation of the world during the 1800s. Part One concludes as these bewildering changes seem to be running beyond the capacity of older institutions to handle them. Throughout the course we try to grasp what is happening and ask: Why? And the answers often turn on very human choices.

Meilleurs avis pour THE MODERN WORLD, PART ONE: GLOBAL HISTORY FROM 1760 TO 1910
par MCNov 5, 2018
Dear Professor,\n\nI am fascinated with week one, even though I work in the scientific side, also like history, nothing more rewarding than visiting and ancient place and know what happened... Thanks
par GWApr 15, 2017
Such an informative course, and it linked together different regions & events; that's something only top-level sources of education does. I will no doubt continue on with the course to Part 2.
par GMJan 7, 2017
This is a terrific course, amazing prevention,\n\nbut it does lack reading material that Virginia's full online course has,\n\nit would be nice to have a deeper engamente with the subjects.
par BSApr 9, 2018
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.
par ZDSep 17, 2015
Perhaps the reason why I really like this course is that I am very excited about learning world history. But the course content and the way professor delivers lectures is amazing.
par MCApr 3, 2016
I liked the course so much, I have already enrolled in the second half. I enjoyed picking apart history by its cause and effect scenario. Clear, easy to understand and enjoyable.
par HKAug 16, 2016
Thoroughly engaging and Part 2 is even better. Not full of dates etc. just full of explanations for why things happened and why they could or couldn't have happened another way.
par MMJan 21, 2017
Thank you.I have already finished two parts of the course. Your teaching style is suitable for me. If you open any other classes, please inform me, I will join them immediately.
par CRJan 20, 2016
This course gives you a very broad view of world History on a Global scale. It is very well taught. Professor Zelikow teaches history in a very engaging and understandable way.
par VMSep 21, 2015
An essential study for those who want to know the why's of today's events. Bundles of happenings are presented at each course session.A mandatory course for your completion.
par NTSep 16, 2015
I think the course is interesting, but very general.\n\nThe lecturer is very good and all presentations are clear.\n\nThere is a lack of references and links to self-study.
par AXMar 3, 2017
Great calm organized instructor who helps put previous knowledge into logical perspective. Strongly advise this course for anyone who wants an overview of the time period.
par MHFeb 8, 2020
Wonderful professor, interesting, eloquent and able to keep our interest high with the right rhythm, mix of information and facts. Highly stimulating course. Thank you.
par RXAug 29, 2019
I haven't particularly finished all the lessons, but the overall course is quite good, especially when you're able to highlight your notes after or during the lesson.
par MROct 19, 2015
Great course. Professor Zelikow takes the entire world and gives us a clear and sometimes surprising story of the modern world. Amazing. So glad I took this course.
par RLNov 14, 2017
Very broad history, good for people who want to cover a lot of basic history. The professor is easy to listen to and gives great examples for better understanding!
par KHNov 19, 2015
The professor is very comfortable on screen, which makes it easy to listen to what he is explaining and take it all in. I'm learning a lot from this course!
par JTOct 25, 2016
A different approach to world history. It's not about dates and events, and not even about famous conquerors. More about social and technological trends.
par AYJan 19, 2020
This course went straight to the point, but did well including relevant stories, names, and even art. I greatly appreciated this course being available.
par AKJun 12, 2018
This course extended my knowledge of history. I have not found any political propaganda and I really enjoyed it! Week's quizzes are challenging enough.
