french revolution
Portraying the french sociology and economy of the 1790's from a clear point of view helped me clarifying the several phases of the French Revolution .
This is a really fantastic course - stimulating, well-structured, and pitched at just about the right level to appeal both to history undergraduates and to people with no background in historical studies but a strong interest in the French Revolution.
It really gave me a new perspective on the French revolution - a subject that I have always been interested in and in the last couple of years, I have understood better thanks to my newly acquired French proficiency.
It's is a very good fundamental course for those who want to have a basic idea on the French revolution.
Excellent ..I always knew ABOUT the French Revolution - i.e it happened- but I never understood the FULL consequences.
I learned a lot about French Revolution, it's causes, process and outcomes.
He engages you and takes you through the complex events of the French Revolution at a very comfortable pace.
I'm currently reading his book: Liberty or Death, The French Revolution.
Great lectures and Peter McPhee covers the main views of the French Revolution not just his own.
good course, wish it went into more depth but overall worth one's time Prof McPhee will bring out the historian in u and make french revolution more an experience than a course for u This is a very good class Outstanding presentation of the events leading to the Revolution.

Professor McPhee is very learned about the revolution and easy to follow.
The multiple examples, illustrations, or anecdotes included by Professor McPhee facilitate our understanding and liven up the presentations.
Professor McPhee is amazing!
Professor McPhee's lecture style is very relaxed and engaging, and the visual aids - whether texts or works of art of the period - are great.
Not being a native English speaker, I really appreciated Professor McPhee's clear and well articulated speach (for the very few words I couldn't grasp, the complete scripts provided a back up).
Thank you, Professor McPhee.. Muito bom, conteúdo abrangente, professor qualificado, método instigante.
I particularly like Professor McPhee's clear and engaging manner in delivering this course.
Professor McPhee is a great teacher.
My plan is to watch this course again when I finish the book in a couple of weeks.I want to take this opportunity to thank Coursera for offering this, and other courses; and Professor McPhee for taking the time to put together this series of lectures.
I really enjoyed professor McPhee's course and the amount of historical knowledge we are able to obtain from this course !

so much
I did this course a second time as there was so much information that I did not absorb it the first time round.
You learn so much about the revolution and have so much to say, you will find yourself having to pare it down, down, down.
The online support was also much appreciated; I asked twice a question on the forum and Professor McPhee replied each time with a surprising rapidity.
I wish I has such history classes at school - I would have know so much more!

video lectures
The course is very well structured with a chapter of Prof McFee's book to accompany each week of video lectures.
I enjoyed how his questions throughout the video lectures encourage us to establish our own opinions concerning this part of history.
First of all, I'd like to say that video lectures were amazing.
