“I listened to the first 10 lectures and finally gave up. I love history, but the constant vocal tics, the leaning into the mic and shouting, the off-topic inserts (do I need to know about his French neighbor's grandfather's issues???) On the good side, Prof. Merriman's biases are clear; no one will be misled as to where he stands on anything. When he settles down and gets going on a topic, he's one of the best I've heard, but that's all too infrequent. Off to UC Berkeley for me!”
