课程概述

Sports play a giant role in contemporary society worldwide. But few of us pause to think about the larger questions of money, politics, race, sex, culture, and commercialization that surround sports everywhere. This course draws on the tools of anthropology, sociology, history, and other disciplines to give you new perspectives on the games we watch and play. It's the new and improved version of Professor Orin Starn's original "Sports and Society" for Coursera, which drew more than 40,000 students. We will focus on both popular sports like soccer (or “football,” as anyone outside America calls it), basketball, and baseball, and also lesser-known ones like mountain-climbing and fishing. You will never watch or think about sports in the same way again....

Le doy 3 estrellas porque es un curso muy interesante pero el hecho de que este todo en ingles y toque leer la traducción de los videos hace que sea mas tedioso realizarlo.

The evaluation for this course has questions which are very memory based and not application based

Not in depth enough, could be a lot more interesting. OK but not great.

Not serious (what broke me down is chapter about video game in which the instructor said he doesn't understand anything about it and started interviewing his teen son about it)
