"I get the benefit of the highest qualified educators at low cost and no tests. I've learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed each 30 min. lecture. I have been able to fill out areas where i lacked knowledge and have been able to go back and review at my convenience. "
"Courses are fascinating, ordering is easy, and delivery is timely! Couldn't ask for a better product or better service. Highly recommend The Great Courses to everyone!"
"My most recent course on growing vegetables and flowers came on time and is bringing me a renewed interest in gardening. I love watching at my convenience and being able to go back to refresh my understanding anytime I need to. Really enjoy the variety of subjects. You make learning and thinking the most fun thing to look forward to no matter how old I become. Great company!"
"I love the Great Courses. The cooking classes have been wonderful. They are taught with enthusiasm, and make me want to go back to the kitchen and cook from scratch. I know cooking with real ingredients are better for us, and these courses are helping me along the way."
"Not much to say, because it has been a great experience from beginning to end."
"First, this course includes pictures, live videos, and diagrams to bolster the topic of each lecture effectively. The professor is engaging and easy to watch and listen to. Some lecturers have been a bit disengaging due to lack of enthusiasm. We aren't bouncing off the walls, but I'm not drowsing off either. I've been in Italy, but wish I had this before I left. Would have made things a little clearer as I traveled around. "
"Delivered quickly and early in the morning, which was convenient "
"Simple box, one booklet, one set of DVDs: no extra fluff or packaging. Can't wait to get started!"
"I've started enjoying the Joy of Math and How to Stay Fit as You Age. They are very well done."
"The great Courses are interesting and informative. I can learn and enjoy at my convenience. "
"Entertaining and a potted education to boot for this well presented story of Japan through the Ages. The complexities have been removed and the fascination retained. I shall return to these lectures often."
"Well organized, clearly presented and extremely informative."
"Quick, easy to complete and arrived quickly!"
"The Great Courses lectures provide illuminating instruction in a wide variety of disciplines, taught by master teachers in each field. If you love learning and remember fondly the intellectual stimulation of your college days, you won't find a more satisfying way to invest your money. These classes are really unbelievable good. My husband and I have watched courses in philosophy, psychology, history, engineering, religion, science, and mathematics--every one was excellent. The new video streaming option allows you to easily take courses with you on your mobile devices wherever you go (traveling, excercising, etc). Most highly recommended!"
"Items arrived in great shape. "
