"The Great Courses provide an overview of topics that I don't know much about. The lectures are detailed and illustrated with art and artifacts from the time. The downside,they are one professor."
"just received package and although cant review content have to say catalog says preview phamplets included....I enjoy visual and reading aspects of many topics....Online makes no mention of that which before I ordered checked with a service rep who guaranteed it would be include BUT it wasnt and that is annoying.......will never reorder again

"Only thing keeping this course from getting five stars is that I may be a more advanced student of investing than I gave myself credit for. Still have about four or five lectures to go yet. I have learned some things and the course has put some issues into better perspective for me. Satisfied that I bought it and I feel I am getting my moneys worth. First time buyer and user of this product. I will most likely try another course sometime in the future."
"I've purchased and watched quite of few these courses. I graduated from college in 1965 but I've never lost my desire to keep learning. I've never been disappointed with any purchase. The professors always bring so much of themselves to the lectures. By the time each course is completed, I'm always sorry to say good-bye. Right now I'm viewing one of Prof. Greenberg's music courses. I wouldn't hesitate to give it 10 stars. To sum up, the quality of each course, its presentation and the professionalism of the lecturers, makes these courses a real bargain and a joy."
"I'm a new customer of the Great Courses. After hearing good things from friends who are loyal customers, I decided to give it a try this year. So far I acquired 6 courses, shipping was prompt, favorably impressed with the quality of the courses, and I love the convenience of streaming from anywhere, the app works great.
The only complaint I have, is that when shopping online, often the format options won't display, when I finally got it to display and made the selection, the shopping cart still shows zero item. I had to click repeatedly. Once I was so frustrated I left the website only to come back later and found ten items of the same thing in my shopping cart! I had similar difficulties multiple times, something I rarely encounter on other sites, and I'm a frequent online shopper.
I know I can order by phone, but I prefer to shop online, and hope this issue can be addressed. Otherwise I'm happy with all other aspects of my experience with this company."

"Although it's an Interesting topic, sorry but I found the lectures boring. "
"I just received my DVD's yesterday & have not started watching either one yet, so it's too early to write a review of the courses."
