middle east
Both part 1 and 2 are great courses and can be recommended, to anyone who wishes for a deeper understanding of the underlying events that have led to the Middle East we see today.
excellent, please repeat course This course explained more about the Middle East than I had ever known in my life.
Un excelente recuento de la historia moderna de Medio Oriente Excellent overview of a difficult subject I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about the Middle East.
(I took Part I and Part II of this course) The Middle East is a very hot topic of discussions these days, but sadly a lot of people don’t know much about the region.
Most of the people learn about the Middle East trough media.
Even though most of the Middle East contemporary problems are extremely complicated, this course will help you understand a little about the region’s modern history, culture and ethnic/religious diversity.
Understanding Middle East’s history (especially its modern history) will help you a great deal to understand the region’s contemporary issues.
The Middle East is much more than what we see in the news.
i really was enjoying take this course thanks One of the very best courses available, the historical examination of continue changing in the Middle East, allows students think the pieces that derive in actual regional struggle.
learned a lot about Middle East Politics during the period of 1950s to 1990s Exactly as Part 1 the lectures of Part ii were lean yet fully comprehensive.
Get ready for a wild ride as you're taken on a journey from the Ottoman Empire to the Arab Spring revolutions as Professor Susser presents the cold, hard facts about the Middle East and its dealings with traditionalism and modernity.
This course was thorough and non-bias look at the modern Middle East.
Excellent, interesting, thorough Brilliantly insightful summaries Good background and enjoyed delving into the detail of the Middle East.
An excellent course for getting an understanding of what's happening in the Middle East today.

very good
Very good course.
it was nice seeing things from the other side's perspective (the way Israelis see it) as opposed to being bombarded by the same ideas all arabs (governments and individuals) promote...a necessary step if people really want to form an objective opinion about this long lasting conflict, even more important for those directly concerned if a peaceful solution is sought (dreamy but who knows) just wish of the MENA region universities (other than israeli universities) had the decency to make such an objective course available...would help a lot It has been a very good course,as it was,the first part.I appreciate that the videos could also be heard in spanish and that they have such flexibility to be able to finish the couse as they say,at my own pace.Regards,Bea.

arab spring
However, I noticed a certain bias in favor of Israel, something that, in my opinion, reduces slightly the credibility of the course The course offers a comprehensive explanation about the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Arab spring.
A complete and thorough journey from the Ottoman Empire to the Arab Spring with significant emphasis on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

ottoman empire
Although it is very good as a stand alone course, I highly recommend that you do the first part, even if you don't care about the Ottoman Empire or the origins of the Islamist movement (and the first part is a bit more challenging, I thought -- lots to remember).
very interesting
Very interesting, well informed with thinkable ideas.
:) Very interesting course - loaded with insights and information.

so much
I never understood the conflicts in that region, or why there was so much strife, but this class explained that perfectly.
I wish this had been taught in school for me, I would have felt so much better informed.
Bitter sweet to be done as there was so much great information in here.
