The Birth of the Modern: Europe and Its Others
I downloaded this series of lectures because I was interested in the subject and I really wanted to learn what the course has to offer. I think the professor has a lot of interesting knowledge to impart, but his frequent "ahs" and changing what he is saying in the middle of a sentence makes for a painful listening experience. (I have been guilty of such speech patterns myself in casual talk, but would like to think I would do better in a formal public presentation.) I do not know if I will listen to the whole series because of poor lecture style. I would encourage the professor listen to the lectures of Keith E. Wrightson and Paul Kagan to get an idea on how to present his materials in a manner that makes the listener what to listen. If there is a later edition of this course in which the lecture style has improved, I would be happy to get it.

Loved the course, wish it had been recorded better.

While there is ample information, there seems to be a lot of ambient noise that breaks attention

Despite crummy quality and a rather tangential structure, this guy is extremely well informed and brings in a lot of interesting and disparate seeming currents of European History. For anyone who likes the broad stroke, but on point sort of history concept this is really nice.
