I loved the concept of this course when I read the course description and it did not disappoint. Lot's of new viewpoints for me which were presented very well. A great learning experience. The reason I did not give 5 stars was I thought the Mexico module was not up to the standards of the other modules. The French module and the 2020 French update were exceptional.

Helpful on a knowing america through other country's eye. However, I think the course would be more interesting if if could include more discussion about how all those country and US view each other now instead of focusing much of its content on history.

This class was very enjoyable. It made me as an American stop and take a more comprehensive look at how other countries and people look at as and individuals and as a whole.

seemed kind of dumb at first but got better

Great course. Highly recommended!

Very interesting Course

Good

I CAN'T TO ABLE TO RECEIVE MY CERTIFICATE . EVEN AFTER COMPLETING THE COURSE.

I'd been talking to a former student about how America must look to other countries (given the state of the nation), and was thrilled to find this course a few months later. Engaging, well-organized, and my notebook is filled with post-its of "further readings" to spend more time with. I enjoyed the first one or two discussion prompts, but after a while, I realized I was the only one really participating, which became a running joke between my sister and I. But the professors were great (especially for France and Mexico) and info was well detailed. Closed captions need editing.

The course "American Through foreign Eyes" really opens my eyes with plenty of historical Events, Occurrences, Tensions & Happiness- Relations from distinct view points of several countries from opposite ideologies about the USA & its Culture,Society & Governments as well......i simply want to Thank Rice University USA & all my course Teachers from Dr. Anne Chao, Dr. Julie Fette , Dr. Jeffrey Fleisher Dr. Moramay López-Alonso & Dr. Lida Oukaderova and finally COURSERA….

Excellent perspective finder, especially for U.S. residents. Helpful information to become a better, more informed global citizen and culture connoisseur. A valuable eye-opener that expanded my understanding.

Excellent course! I learned so much about the history and culture of the countries covered in the class. It was a unique and interesting perspective on these countries, as well as my country, the U.S.

It represented other world views of how America is seen with professors who present the material in an interesting, clear, and concise manner.

Excellent. Engaging and thought-provoking. I would be interested to see an update that takes into account recent events.

Excellent scripts from all professors that have lectured in this course and excellent additional reading materials.

Excellent format and well executed. The addition of the 2020 updates to reflect more current events was crucial.

Very thought-provoking and engaging, especially now, as America approaches its 2020 presidential election.

Excellent, I learned so much. It would be great to add additional countries. Thank you!

Alta abrangência e riqueza de uma visão sobre o assunto abordado.

Very interesting, hope they will add more countries soon!

excellent teachers and engaging conversations

I learned a lot of things related to the US.
