Simple,neat and interesting way of explaining the content. Didn't get bored. Good refreshment if you already know the stuff and good introduction if you are new to sociology. Professor is really nice.

This is a course which helps you understand the origin of Sociology. The content of this course includes all the sociologists who played a great role, also the lectures are delivered in a superb way.

The professor can teach the theories of the main classical sociologists in a didactically understandable and entertaining way. Completing this course means a great gain in acquiring the classic basics of sociology!

Thanks both to Coursera and to Amsterdam University for making Education available for everyone.
And Especially thanks to Bart van Heerikhuizen for making this course so easy to understand to the non-sociologists.

An amazing course! A very clever presentation of the "founding fathers" of sociology. Material well laid out, in small videos with eye catching-animations. The professor shows a genuine passion for his subject.

An excellent and interesting introduction sociology course! It's worth learning if you have some ideas of what sociology is but do not understand the fundamental principles and connections between them.

Extremely helpful course. Assignments were interesting and required serious approach.
Faced little difficulty with few of the external reading questions (5-8).
Overall, a good introductory course.
