Entertaining and insightful
My experience with Merriman's lectures has varied. Initially, I felt annoyed and found his style out of control - a sort of stream of consciousness babble that left me wondering what he just said and if my playback was at too high a speed. Yet even then I appreciated his breadth of knowledge and his obvious love of the mix and flow of history. I also appreciated his willingness to speak to universal human values and clearly condemn imperialism, elitism and other forms of oppression. Now that I am reaching the end of the series, I admit that I have grown fond of his delivery (watching the video download once helped) and the energy his exudes. I recommend that curious listeners give it a chance.

More reviews of European Civilization, 1648-1945
All over, nice solid course

Enjoyable and informative lecture series. The only downside was that every topic seemed to relate back to France in some manner, and the over-pronunciation of French words became a little distracting.

Die Vorlesungsreihe vermittelt einen guten Überblick über die europäische Geschichte. Der Dozent redet manchmal etwas schnell, dafür spart er mit Fachausdrücken, so dass man mit passablen Englischkenntnissen gut folgen können sollte. Insgesamt uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.
