Отзывы учащихся о курсе The Rooseveltian Century от партнера Лейденский университет

dates are important but please

Most interesting to learn more about the leadershipof 3 Roosevelts in a century high economic growth, Great depression and 2 world wars. Excellent tutor, interesting interviews with specialists and quizes and demanding final essay. Many thanks for the opportunity to take the course. Beste Regards Ernst

It was wonderful. I learned a lot. I am withdrawing because at age 71, I don't need to be writing research papers but just enjoying myself.

excellent, do it again!

plus have all students watch Ken Burns films on the three Roosevelts!

It was a nice course that touched on the different aspects of the Roosevelt presidencies.

I enjoyed this class and learned a lot. The intervening research topics did not seem to be part of the grading for this course and I am not sure if anyone did them after the first one. The final peer assessment project just asked for a repeat of everything that had been said in the class since the final lecture went all the way up to Obamacare. There was no room to add anything to what the course had already said.

This is a very interesting course focusing on the legacy of two US presidents and one wife of a president--Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. In particular, I enjoyed the attention given to the contributions of Eleanor Roosevelt during and after her husband's administration.

it is a marvellous class. Realy great videos with all the informations and details you need to understand, as well as being a kinda short course. i really liked it and in just a few weeks i understood a lot about united states history.

I enjoy the interaction and interface scopes to really delve into a history and biography type course.

I would only like this course better if it was longer and more in-depth. Excellent!

Interesting and well taught but very poorly assessed. The peer marking doesn't work properly as I ended up missing the original deadline, of no fault of my own, but as no one else had marked it, so I had to wait another 8 weeks to get my certificate.

The lectures are too brief and do not go into details pertinent to the main theses of the course. While it is evident that each of the Roosevelts had a significant impact on their respective time in history, saying that it was a Rooseveltian century is going a bit too far. Nearly all the reforms that they initiated were countered by the end of the 20th century. Wagner-Pyser, Glass-Steagall were gutted by the end of the century and as for the UN we all know how in ineffective that has been at protecting human rights. The only thing that has lasted has been Social Security and that is under attack by a co-opted ultra-conservative Congres

Some of this content is glaringly wrong e.g that F Roosevelt's freedoms weren't seen by him as inalienable rights, that culture and education were attributes of Eleanor's approach to freedom that were distinctive from FDR. One can go on and on ....
