Customer Reviews
Don't assume this stuff is for high school students....
It was a very pleasant review and I have learned some new things along the way.
The presentation of the subjects are entertaining and informative.
Great job people
Lifelongstudent
Love that you can learn about topics and ideas not usually brought up in every day conversation or what one is exposed to through by means of daily media.
Interesting and Easy to Digest
This course has lots of small videos with interesting info that's well laid out. They are all different subjects too, so I feel like I'm learning a lot!
