I expected more focus on architecture and social aspects while the course is primarily focused on the religious aspects and mythology. Too much of a course is the lecturer reading out loud the passages from religious and other contemporary texts. A student who is focused on Christianity may find this course a lot more fulfilling than a secular or otherwise non-Christian student who is generally interested in the Middle Ages or generally in architecture.

Mostly interesting overview of the building and architecture of a few of the great cathedrals, with a lot of sidebars about the lives of the kings and saints.

interesting class, but not very varied, and a bit too long ...

I started out optimistically, but in the end I was disappointed by this course:

No list for further reading

No interesting discussions on the forums

Very long texts to read that did not really contribute to my understanding of the course

No active mentoring

Many frustrated people because there were not enough essays to review

There are written

requirements

So far, the lectures are monotonous and mostly consist of the reading aloud of quotes, making them pretty hard to get through. Might depend on which angle you're interested in, but for those interested in art history, this course lacks high-quality visuals and interpretation and focuses on contextual details that don't always seem relevant or engaging. You're better off reading a good textbook.
