"The product lives up to the hype. The service is excellent. I've ordered in multiple genres. All had great teachers."
"I have taken six courses from The Great Courses and every one far exceeded my expectations in every way. The Instructors are tops in their field, the comprehensive material is very well presented and easy to understand. I will continue to learn through this method and recommend it to all my friends."
"I have enjoyed each of the Great Courses I have purchased. They are all up to the advertisement."
"At the age of 80, I have not diminished my desire for learning. This is a good way to approach the need in our lives for continued mental exercise."
"A very nicely designed site with lots of helpful reviews by customers and detailed information on each product. I recommend getting on their mailing list as they routinely have sales with large discounts.
The courses themselves are very well done and targeted towards the life-long learner. Really top notch! "
"Bought several courses. Streaming is working excellently. Content is great. Some are a review, some totally new. Each so far has been engaging and very well done. Will buy more!"
"I thought the digital course videos, Predictive Models and Optimization, did a first-class job in presenting real world examples and techniques. They offer extra detail in packaging the core concepts while highlighting some of the more advanced topics (Bayesian, Markov's, Monte Carlo) in a more visually engaging approach. My colleague also found the level of detail in the explanation of the statistical calculations appropriate for the assumed audience. Professor Scott Stevens has a way of explaining complex constructs in a way that a beginner can grasp and an intermediate or expert can learn from. This digital course must be kept close at hand for a quick reference!!"
"The programs and materials arrived in quick time and what pleased me was I was able to access the material via streaming while awaiting the arrival of the DVD and course materials. The service, presentation and content is excellent."
"I didn't have to wait too long for my course to reach me, and then such a high quality course!!
Thanks!!"
"Terrific experience. Interesting and fun"
"The courses are okay. Price to high even with 80% off, for a easy copy DVD. Also get way to many emails, two to three emails per DAY. USPS also has to many catalogs & mailings. At least one per week, mostly two per week. Hard to unsubscribe, have to jump threw hoops. Takes over a week to get emails to stop. If you have nothing to do except have a ton of emails to delete, then have at it. Believe me it's not worth it. Good luck if you sign up. "
"The advantage of Great Courses is that it helps even professionals catch up with the latest advances in their field or review college courses long forgotten so they can stay current and sharp. The courses are taught by university faculty who are experts in the field and who are in touch with the latest advances, inventions and discoveries. The only other way to get exposure to this level of learning is to go back to college.

"I ordered my first course & it arrived very quickly - looks great & I am looking forward to it. I'm impressed by the ease & speedy arrival."
"Downloading was simple, have watched two lectures and they were great! "
"No matter what lectures I buy and watch, I always learn something new and interesting. It also gives me ideas for new ways of presenting topics in my own lectures on mathematics, physics, and astronomy. "
