“Merriman's a pretty good speaker, apart from a few minor tics. The class isn't bad by any means, but after listening I sort of have the same sensation I'd get from watching a survey show on The History Channel. There isn't a sense of a connected narrative in Merriman's lectures - the course has more of the feel of 24 bullet point topics from three hundred years of European history arranged in rough chronological order. And like a TV show, each episode ends, and it's on to the next grouping of anecdotes.
Good for a bullet point view but sort of just skimming the surface. Perhaps the depth would be apparent if you were reading the coursework alongside the lectures.”

If I paid tuition for this class, I’d be extremely unhappy that the vast majority of lecture content would be “ah/um/er” or stutters. Every last word is bracketed by lengthy vocal tics and...”Read full review »

“This professor obviously has a dominating command of the information he is presenting, but like the other reviewers have mentioned, his "add-ins" or "catch phrases" are incredibly distracting. "Uh", "um" and his repeating certain words several times before moving on with his sentences can really...”Read full review »
