I found this course very engaging and incredibly informative. I have always been interested in WWII and have loved being able to dive deeper into the details as well as the topics I found most intriguing. I went about this course a little differently than I have others; I watched all the lectures while keeping a note open on my phone writing down the topics I found intriguing and thought might make a good project. When I went back into the note for each module I had at least 10 ideas for each one. Narrowing them down was a bit of a challenge because there were so many things I wanted to dive deeper into. This was my 4th course with Andy and Bill, as always, I loved it. I feel that as a teacher they give me the ability to stretch my thinking and develop more lessons and activity templates for my current students. Thank you again for a great learning experience.

The assignments were straight-forward and I gained a lot of knowledge that I will be able to share with my students. The professor also graded assignments in a very timely manner and added in-depth comments.

This was a great course. I already knew a good deal about the European theater of WWII prior to this course, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much new information I got from the course. The instructors are great and give personalized feedback. I am excited to integrate what I learned into my classroom during the school year.

The Great Courses are fantastic. I am a local history teacher and loved taking these courses to add to my own knowledge (while getting a pay raise at the same time). These courses allowed for that in a online format that was challenging but not troublesome. Would recco 100%.
