Wonderfully taught - a delight to experience. The instructor knew the syllabus by heart, and was able to convey the sheer quantity of information with such a precise, striking ease, that it made the ordeal a captivating thing to do.

Very interesting and in-depth course on the history and past of the Middle East. Professor Susser is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains the reasons behind the strategics movements and their impact on society and development.

A clear, concise and comprehensive course on the history of the Modern Middle East. Masterfully presented by Professor Asher Susser. Highly recommended if you would like to know more about the history and origins of the Middle East.

Professor Susser is an excellent tutor - His presentation of the course was outstanding, making the course extremely exciting and a joy to undertake. I look forward to doing Part II. Honored to attend Professor Susser's lectures.

This course covered the history of what is now the Middle East very well. I would recommend it to anyone who seeks a better understanding of the history and of the countries now so much a part of our current global society.

Great insight by a person that profoundly knows Middle East; I would sugget it both to those that need to do business with ME people, both to those that are willing simply to know a bit more about today's world.

Enjoy it!

Excelente curso, ayuda a comprender de mejor forma la conformación del oriente medio moderno. Además de llegar a conocer cuales fueron las consecuencias de la primera guerra mundial dentro de Medio Oriente.

I am grateful to have been able to take Professor Susser's course.

Also, I think he might have the sexiest voice in online education.

He's definitely the Barry White of Middle Eastern history.

Thanks, Prof!

This is a tremendous asset to any student of the Middle East. This is especially the case in the Post 9/11 World. The course is well taught by Professor Susser. Excellent scholarship, great presentation.

I learned a ton in this course. I have a much more solid foundation for understanding religious differences, issues with national borders/geography, and conflicts between religious rule and secularism.

One of the best courses on the Middle-East. The Professor is excited about teaching it, and his excitement reflect on all participants and learners. It is not just educational, it is fun and enjoyable.

Muy interesante el curso. El profesor y contenidos, muy bien.

Me fue muy difícil desarrollar los examenes, pues las respuestas estaban en inglés, sin embargo fue llevadero.

Muchas gracias. Aprendí mucho

Lot of information and hundred of years of history in four weeks it is a great challenge. Only if participants interact more in the forum.

Professor is excellent lecturer away from bias

An excellent introduction to the formation of what we know as the Middle East. This course offers great insight and context into this area, its peoples, cultures, economy, and politics.

This is the course that gives me the pleasure of following the dynamic movement that provides me with the basic understanding with what is happening in the Middle East nowadays.

this was a great course. The professor was wonderful and so full of information. He provided great notes and videos. Looking forward to taking the second part of the course.

I thought it was a great course, very well produced, rhetorically excellent. I very much enjoyed learning and I think I profited in my understanding of Middle Eastern affairs.

Very informative course about The Emergence of the Modern Middle East in the 20th Century! Enjoyed it very much, kudos to Prof Susser for the clear and articulate teaching!

Very informative - a real eye-opener. The provided PDF materials are excellent and really help to follow the lectures. The many graphics significantly enhance the course.

Full of information, great analysis, suitably detailed. A great personal touch as well. This requires attention and thought as a good course should. Highly recommended.

Excellent course that managed, in a very short amount of time, to explain the whys and the hows behind the creation of the countries of the middle east. Thank you.

Fantastic course! Professor Susser has a very engaging way of teaching history and the course materials (videos, course readings and quizzes) are very high quality

Excelent class! taught me a lot of things i didn't knew about middle east, making their conflicts more comprehensive and providing me a better analysis about it.

An extremely interesting course! Wanted to learn in detail a history of the Middle East - and got it. I will definitely continue the second part of the course.

SUCH a good one. I'm from Israel and have been wanting to learn this subject more deeply, and this course is exactly what I needed. I can't wait to start part 2!
