Great lecture style!
I picked this series up casually when I got my iPad, but became so engrossed in Kagan's lucid lecture style that I finished all 24 lectures and purchased the textbook and did the assigned readings! It's been 35 years since I was in college, and the experience was unexpected, to say the least! I can't evaluate Kagan's presentation compared to other scholars, but found his knowledge and command of the topic very compelling. My only (minor) criticisms are that it would be beneficial to have graphics, maps, etc. in the lectures (I found myself holding a map of the Greek world in one hand and my iPad in the other) and, second, that Kagan's conservative views on present day politics (yes, he's THAT Kagan) to be a little heavy-handed.
