What people are saying
interesting introduction to wider
I've always been interested in the Wars of the Roses and found this course an interesting introduction to wider life at that time.
many articles to read
For me, the course included a few too many articles to read rather than videos and there were quite a few errors (although it was the first running of the course, so not surprising that there were a few teething issues).
did introduce new concepts
I did this course at the same time as one on Anicent Greeks (Coursera) and it suffered in comparison, but I did complete the course and it did introduce new concepts and ideas that I can follow up.
there are readings
There are readings, videos and quizzes.
age or level
Recommended for any age or level of education.
always been interested
tell from reading
From what I can tell from reading the student comments, we all expected more about Richard, rather than a general (and quite basic) overview of his time.
