awesome course!! lots of takeaways from the teacher who really makes complex theories clear.

Great class!

I honestly looked forward to this class at the end of each work day. Modest course work and excellent lectures and discussion exercises.

Excellent

This is one of my top three favorite courses I've taken on Coursera so far!

This course is well structured. Organized in a chronological sense, it allows us to compare the idea of philosophers considered with contemporaries and precedents.

The intermediate exercises and questions are effective for a better understanding.

Superb. En

Great course, interesting topics and explanations, thanks !

I enjoyed the course and treatment by the Professor. I learned a lot about this important period in philosophy. Thank you.

Though not too inclusive, it's a great course for introduction.

Another fine MOOC by the prof. I really like her dry delivery style.

This was a very enjoyable experience, thank you all for the opportunity.

A good follow- up to the previous course. The material is well organised and gives a profound overview while still inciting further investigation, leaving enough room for expansion of the mind and new thoughts on... almost everything.

Definitely interesting.

Interesting overview. Would have appreciated more time on Hellenistic Philosophy

A good starting point to ancient philosophy .

Clearly presented.course which focuses only on the principal question and themes of each of the 4 philosophies. I found it extremely valuable as it structured in a logical way these issues and also related themt modern life. My only criticism relates to the grading method of the final assignment 0 or 1 is far too simplistic.

Beside the annoying loud music in the intro of each video it is Insightful.

This was a very solid introduction to the philosophy of Aristotle, Epicurus and the Stoics. It is relatively introductory-level but still I think that even someone who has studied Ancient Philosophy before can learn something from this.

Really good overview. Information is presented in a very clearly and concisely. The pace is good, and the topics are all very interesting.

The only things I didn't like had to do with format issues: I did not find the periodic "quizzes" that interrupt the videos to be helpful. They were more frustrating than anything since they broke up the flow of the videos and didn't add anything to my understanding of the topics. And while the intro sequences to each video are high-quality, it's unnecessary to have 25 seconds dedicated to the into for *each* and *every* video. This was repetitive and frustrating, especially since the volume on the intro sequences was much louder than the rest of the video, meaning I had to either manually skip the into or adjust the volume each time. These are technical details, so I don't want them to reflect poorly on the content of the course, which is excellent. It's more a suggestion to re-edit the course videos at some point.

Not being a prior student of philosophy, or rather arts, I had a very different idea about this discipline. After taking the first week's course, I am pretty much enthusiastic about what is yet to come and look forward to learning more.

The course content seems good for me as an introduction.

Wish it included some more realistic examples from life which we can find witty and can relate to our lives.

Very complete, to be perfect, from my point of view, the course would need less material to read and a point of dynamism.

The course is nice but it's a pity that the professor didn't start with Aristotle's ethics (which is the coolest part of his philosophy in my opinion). The first part of the course was extremely boring. The parts about Epicurus and Stoicism were very interesting. The final assignments are nor being reviewed. I finished the course and I'm still waiting to get my Certificate. That's very annoying. Also, there are no Mentors replying. That's a pity. Greetings / Antonia

like it most the epicurean philosophy

pretty good info. Aristotle was weird
