Worth 30 hours
I just completed the final lecture for this collection. I do recommend this class but with some disclosure. This is not a history class that gives you a clear view of the history of the world. It is more along the lines of a historical theory discussion. It is a very unique look at how to look at history. Most of the discussions were interesting. Additional research and recommended reading is essential. Audio quality drops out on some lectures but never to a point that the professor could not be heard. There is not much to watch except the professor pacing. I would listen until I hear the chalk hit the board then watch. There is a cute blond that sits in the front row most lectures. Somewhat distracting just like I remember from real class. The last lecture seemed a bit offensive. Religion was attacked a bit and I believe afghans were compared to monkeys at one point. All in all it's a good course and recommended. Listen at 1 1/2 or 2x speed depending on the lecture.

More reviews of History of the World to 1500 CE (W3902)
A "must listen" history course.

I have listened to part of a lecture and found it to be interesting and informative. It is, however, not intesting enough to warrant downloading such a huge file. Make it audio only and i will listen to all the lectures with interest. 300+ megs per lecture is just too much to invest. Londo

Too many "uh"s! Sampled 3 minutes from 5 lectures and moved on.
