Great material often overlooked
I loved this professor. The way he used the concept of otherness brought in a bunch of material on sections of the population often overlooked in traditional western civilization courses. Also, within the first few lectures, he used Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Matrix to make analogies - my kind of teacher! Some reviewers complained about his speaking style, but I got used to it very quickly and indeed began to appreciate his tangents. This class will give you a lot of (sometimes scary) insights into why westerners think the way we do even today. You'll be thinking about these lectures long after they are finished.

Loved the course, wish it had been recorded better.

Awful recording quality makes this podcast more laborious than enjoyable. Great subject matter, but the professor's incoherent stutterings also make this difficult to listen to

I was really looking forward to this program. Unfortunately the recording quality is TERRIBLE... Many of these "class" recordings suffer from this. The room gets mic'ed and you can't hear anything..
