Great introduction to Norse Mythology and the intricacies and history woven into them. Much more than just memorizing names of gods and their special characteristics. Would love a follow up class.

t A very interesting course. I began with some minor knowledge of the subject and now feel much better informed. It has given me much food for thought and ideas for further research.Thank you!

I thought it was great, but perhaps, there were moments when it was a little dry. And while I think that is the nayure of the study of the sources, I felt that maybe, there could have been case studies, or more development of particular significant stories. But honestly, it gave me clarity. Thank you!

Course is suitable for me who is almost a total beginner besides a little knowledge on the sagas and tales. YOu will learn a lot of basic information and systematic information, but it will not go into depth of the characters, stories and myths, but it is nevertheless a good introductory course.

I'd give this class 3.5 stars if I could. The instructor seemed to be knowledgeable but the way in which he presented the information leaves a bit to be desired. Just reading off a powerpoint is not particularly engaging. I learned a bit though.

Extremely worthwhile course. Interesting material, well put together and well structured. The only suggestion I have would be to place more comprehensive explanations of wrong answers next to quiz questions, instead of just saying "incorrect".

The first week was very rough and almost discouraged me from finishing. It just feels like a lot of words and with the accent, it is hard to follow. If it was broken up by the little quizzes between each lesson it would be much better.

There´s too much text, more pictures would make it more interesting, like those of historical sites, runic language, original books from whitch the information its taken. Nice course and I hope to see a continuation.

It was a very useful course and very interesting! However, I'd recommend to also publish the texts we discuss, because now we just get a summary without ever reading an Old Norse poem or anything

It was really good. I wished, of course, for more time and learning but that was not in the description so I received what was promised.

After finishing this course, I feel like I have a solid background to start reading Snorri's Edda, etc. However, I would have liked to see readings integrated into the video lectures. The lectures are informative, but there isn't enough of a 'frame' to hang all the details on.

Though the mythology and stories are interesting in their own right, the presentation of them was not as engaging as I would have liked. I would've liked more visuals or videos, less narration.

A very brief overview focusing on memorization vs comprehension: for example, asking which story comes second in a list vs anything about meaning or impact. The lectures are almost exclusively reading slides word for word. It's impressive that the course manages to make the material this boring.
