"I love the courses and it is easy to deal with the website."
"The purchase process was very simple and my courses were available almost immediately. The courses themselves are broken into a very convenient lecture length and presented by excellent lecturers who make listening a pleasure. Can't ask for more than that. "
"I have started to review the course and it is fantastic! Thanks so much for these courses!"
"Ordered five courses, and they're great."
"My order hasn't arrived yet. Still waiting."
"Product came to me in perfect condition....quickly delivered.....and very satisfied with the lectures...."
"How can a course contain information about cooking and omit to tell what heat setting the burner should be set at?"
"This is not my first purchase on The Great Couses. I like to learn something, to think about something, get more knowledge into my brain and learn some new skills. And I like that The Great Courses always have some sort of sale going on. They keep releasing every month few new lessons, so there is always something fresh to watch and learn.
I think this is a great place to spend your time on, instead of watching something useless, something that will be forgotten in few minutes.
So I already bought several courses and I think my money were invested into the right place."
"The lessons are interesting and the information is not only useful but also stays with you. I look forward to each of the lessons for what I continue to gain. "
"Though I have barely started with my courses, they have already made me excited and inspired about the content materials. The two I like best are The Joy of Math course: I'm hoping to learn about math - I had a terrible teacher in high school and always regretted I didn't know more about math.
Writing Great Fiction: I have started writing a novel for children but know it needs polishing.
Both courses have enthusiastic teachers who explain the material clearly and at a pace I appreciate. Not only am I enjoying the learning, I'm convinced that the courses also keep my aging brain from deteriorating too fast. "
"The Great Courses have brought our family together. As we study the courses we enjoy expanding our knowledge and discussing them together. A great way to spend family time."
"Timely delivery. Look forward to reviewing the courses!"
"The Great Courses have completely taken over our television and DVD (movie) watching. We look forward to 'an episode or two' every night, usually accompanied by huge bowls of fruit salad with chocolate on the side. We have already watched many different courses in many different genre. We love them and eagerly await each catalogue delivery. We even purchased a new bookshelf to house them all."
"Are great ! But not the same as History Channel programs."
"I have purchased several different courses and find it a great way to spend my free time. The courses have lots of interesting information and the 30 min. sessions are just right so you can watch one or two at a time. The instructors all seem to be very familiar with their topics. Delivery has been very prompt."
