Professor is excellent lecturer away from bias A clear, concise and comprehensive course on the history of the Modern Middle East.

Truly a "do not miss" course for any level if you want to gain insights into the history or get a simple and real understanding of the modern middle east.

Great intro to understanding the modern middle east, although some introduction to the history of Islam, it's achievements and culture and the ottoman empire would also have been useful to understand more of an overall picture It is only a survey but it is enlightening and helps to understand Course was thorough and informative.

Definitely everyone interested in the roots of the modern Middle East troubles should take this primer.

Terrific overview of the emergence of the modern Middle East.

first I should say I was impressed by the great information about historical events presented in this course but unfortunately the lecturer put so much emphasis on the ottoman empire, Egypt and Arab states and almost neglected the important role of Iran in the emergence of the modern Middle East.

Brilliant depiction of Modern Middle East.

I only wish that it was slightly longer and had time to go into some areas in more depth, but looking forward to part 2. very good A very good course to understand the beginning of the modern Middle East.

Well-told story of the modern Middle East.

amazing content ...awesome professor Very informative course, but it would be better with more multimedia materials to make the history more interesting.

Very informative course, instructor was great and very thorough.

Fantastic and very informative course.

They say experts can explain a complicated subject and make it feel simple and easy to understand and that is what Prof. Susser did with this course.

The content is easy to understand, the lectures are concise, and the professor does not waste a second of your time in his lectures.

Thank you for the well-tought lectures and well-structured material.I higly recommend this course.

It covered the 19th Century history of the Ottoman Empire up to the early 21st Century events of the Arab Spring.

Before taking this course I had rather preliminary understanding of what the Middle East is, how come the Ottoman Empire managed to last for four centuries, why were there some many continuous conflicts in the post Ottoman countries in the XXth century, etc.

Impossible not to be impressed by Professor Susser's knowledgeable and even-handed treatment of the final century of the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East resulting from the end of World War I.

Professor Susser and staff I thank you for putting together this fantastic course!

Professor Susser is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains the reasons behind the strategics movements and their impact on society and development.

This allowed me to complete the course in small doses through my busy Professor Susser organized a very well done course on a topic with very complex regional dynamics.

So many pieces of the puzzle fit together after Professor Susser's explanations.

Even though it is from Tel Aviv University, there is no bias on the part of Professor Susser on the problems with the Jews and Palestinians.

Professor Susser has a very engaging way of teaching history and the course materials (videos, course readings and quizzes) are very high quality Ha sido un curso excelente,dentro de poco empezaré la segunda parte.

Professor Susser does an excellent job of providing ethnic and religious background, characterizing the many and varied groups.

I learnt a great deal throughout and look forward to Part II.

I am looking forward to Part II.

I recommend this and Part II to anyone interested in understanding the Middle East and its complex development.

Very much looking forward to Part II of the course.

Professor Asher Susser is a very good speaker, and the course is very well organized.
