This course tells us about how social customs and traditions have contributed to the evolution of sports and how sports has vice versa reflected the changes in social order of any age.

Professor Starn gives insight into the sports world and explains complex topics using anthropological reasoning in a way that makes sense to the average person. Great class!

Awesome lecturer, reveals topics comprehensively. Lectures are well-structured. The course makes me learn more about sports.

Excellent topic and well presented for those looking for an understanding between sports and society as a whole.

thank you .

Excellent course, well prepared and presented!

An academically challenging, and remarkably insightful course, suited both to those who seek greater understanding and/or enjoyment of observing, documenting or participating in sports. Professor Starn puts his whole self -- literally, socially and intellectually -- into his teaching, making this one of the best courses I have ever taken up-close-and-personal or online. Thank you and bravo, Dr. Starn! You just may find me on campus at Duke in the not-too-distant future . . .

Excelente! Logras recordar o aprender momentos históricos que marcan pautas para los deportes.

This is by far the best course I have taken from Coursera. Orin is very knowledgeable and passionate in his lectures.

Great Course that grasp different views on sports and their meaning in northamerican society as well as their consecuences and forms of ogranization. I enjoyed the lectures and bibliography very much.

Excellent course not only in terms of content but also the instructor is very well spoken and knowledgeable on the subject. He also made it very entertaining and enjoyable; not just an academic exercise. Most definitely I will like to listen more courses by him on the subject.

Professor was awesome. Very knowledgeable about various sports and how sports fits into the bigger picture of life. I really enjoyed the lectures and felt the reading was perfectly matched to the videos.

I like it and this teaches me a lot, really helpful.

I am currently following this course and I can say that I am really enjoying.

This is a great journey with the great Orin Starn's guide through the history and different perspectives of sports in the human history.

Great course, passionate instructor, lively examples. I highly recommend this course for all sports fans!

Excellent course!

Fantastic humanistic approach, very well designed and above all the passion of the professor Starn is fundamental! great job!

Got to learn a lot about sports and how it can have a complete different perceptive than only watching or playing it.

This was a great course! I went in not knowing much at all about sports, and I think I learned a lot. Everything was easy to understand, and the lectures were easy to follow. Some of the readings were challenging, but in a "hey, I learned a lot and this made me think" way rather than a "this is too hard, I give up" way.

Great class, easy to follow, and very informative. One of my favorite, if not my favorite, course I have taken in Coursera.

The professor is cool.

excelent

I loved this particular course. The topics are relevant. Each topic is supported by historical facts and examples and how is it relevant in the present time. It was a great learning experience!!!

I really enjoyed the course! I feel it touches all of the subjects around sports and helps you understand the evolution and impact they have in society.
