This is a great course to start to learn about philosophy. It has truly made me think about many things and how my faith in God and the teaching of Jesus Christ is strengthened during the course

It is a great curse to beging in the area of philosophy, it shares a few of the major questions of philosophy from it´s origins from diverse point of views, and the professors are remarkable.

Too complicated for those who are new to philosophy. The basic concepts not very clearly explained. It seems that teachers had the assumption that students already had some previous knowledge of philosophy.

Contenido interesante y instructivo, bien presentado, con un pelín de humor y un buen orden. ¡Que pena que sea sólo con voces en inglés! Me cuesta mucho leerlo en español y luego tener preguntas en inglés.

Overall, I found the topics to be interesting, but many times the videos seemed boring as there is no coherence between the modules nor much depth as I expected into the philosophycal questions.

The course was good but the certificate should have the total amount of time I spend in the topic. And also its written non-credit certificate which is causing problem in my college

The course does not have much videos and some of the lecturers (especailly week 5) talk TOO FAST. The subject is abstract and hard enough and talking too fast makes it harder.

Great topics and teachers! The tests could be a little more exigent, I guess, nevertheless, it's a well built and interesting course open to anyone!

Some terms are different to understand. Some lectures are good at explaining them, but some are not. They are so fast that I cannot follow them.

The first couple of tutors sounded interested in what they were doing and like they knew what they were saying. The rest didn't.

As an introductory course this was sufficient and provided an excellent insight into the numerous areas of philosophy.

I have a mixed feeling about it. Sometimes I felt, this course was trying to deliver more content in short time.

Some brilliant videos, but some leave much to be desired. Nice introduction but don't get too hung up on it.

Interesting topics. By the way, the university’s logo on the certificate is not printed correctly.

There is frequent disconnection between the review questions and the delivered content.
