This is an excellent course and I have really enjoyed it. The topics covered are diverse and the course has provided me with several areas for further independent research.

I really enjoyed this course. I signed up as I needed a few more activities related to my subject (history) on my UCAS application. Not only was it useful in that sense, I learnt so much on areas of history I had never even heard of. Recommend completely!

Interesting subject and enjoyable time learning. I just realized how much I love learning. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Very useful and interesting.

super

The course is really interesting. Nevertheless, it often focuses too much in the context of historical events to finally discuss a single picture for just 5 minutes. Moreover, I've found the tests to be too much focused on really precise and sometimes anecdotical data instead of the general conclusions which, from my point of view, are a more reliable reflection of the learning success.

About half the links in this course are broken, which is very frustrating. I found the course content itself to be very interesting, though!

Good material courses. The only negative criticism is related to some repetition of content in some videos.

Many of course links are erase but in the test you insert questions from thinks that is not available

Great material in this course, though some of the links need to be updated.

The quizzes are not related to the topic of this course at all.

Enormously grateful to Emmett Sullivan for such amazing insight. This should be a GE course for all liberal arts colleges worldwide. Indeed, the camera never lies. Was not entirely satisfied with the randomly picked peers for review. Would have preferred a group of peers with similar competencies who understood the rubric.

This course is a wonderful exploration of historical interpretation of image manipulation or alteration. It was a splendid journey with Professor Emmett Sullivan to understand how history unfolds in front of the camera and how films can be considered as 'public history'. A good course for students of cinema studies, indeed.

Highly recommended. I enjoyed revisiting important parts of History through iconic photographs and learning to look at them from a critical and analytical point of view. Mr. Sullivan was great in his lectures and the assignments were insightful. It was hard but well schedule. Many thanks

An amazing experience and a scenic journey into history! The course teaches one to look and really see, it’s both informative and interesting, the reference material ( additional reading) though ( that’s my only “ remark” ) contains some corrupt ( expired) links.

Highly recommend

The lessons and the course material are amazing. Dr Emmet's teachings goes beyond expectations with deep, scrutinized lessons. For people who work in the media , or just interested in photography, the course is a must! I definitely recommend it.

Fantastic course. I loved the examples of iconic photos which I had seen but now better understand their significance. I hadn't seen many of the Stalin photos, however. Its amazing how politicians can manipulate us ala George Orwell........

Thank you so much for this modern history and media relations course. It provided insight into understanding what is happening in the media's backyard and It's very inspired. I think I'll benefit a lot in my next works. Much obliged

This course provides students with the tools they need to analyse and understand visual history along with its deceiving nature that derived from the very character of film properties.

I really enjoyed the course! It gives a good overview of history and, mainly, about the use of photography and image in the historical context.

It's very informative and educative. I've a lot of new knowledge from this course. Thank you coursera for this platform to learn.

Excellent very interesting course and a great course leader Dr Emmett Sullivan well worth spending time on this.

Great poin of view, relevant info, very clear classes. I wish there was a Part II to this course. Cheers.

This course is very informative and structural in learning the relation of films and history.

Thank you very much: Now I am sure that "the camera lies". I already have a new theme image.
