One of the best professors i've ever come across! If the teacher is so passionate about the subject material as well as conveying the ideas, the course will be excellent. This is one of those courses.

It was a fabulous journey, and brought me so much nearer to the great minds of the 18th and especially the 19th century, reading original texts, and listening to Prof Roth's wonderful interpretations.

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Instructor has an engaging way about him and makes the subject matter clear in the lectures. Essay-work was thought-provoking and forced critical analysis about research and reading material.

It might be one of the best courses I've ever taken online. There were some minor errors in English subtitles, and to be honest, I hate peer-review system, but overall, it was great! Would definitely recommend it.

Very good course. A lot of reading but enjoyable. One thing I would like to say is that the very first translation of Kant was very bad. I found much better translation at the Columbia University website.

I absolutely loved this course. I'll start the part 2 of it as soon as possible. The course was very informative. And to be honest it was entertaining to learn about the viewpoints of those great people.

Best course and professor I have taken at Coursera, since Demystifying Mindfulness (which is #1).
Really liked Prof Roth, and appreciate his continued emails after the course via Mentor connections.

An excellent introduction to Modernism that spans disciplines. The enthusiasm and humour of Michael Roth ensures parts of the course that might be difficult or dull are far from it.

Studying these subjects independently is exactly what I was looking for, although I expected more focus on Postmodernism authors such as Baudrillard, Foucault, Giles Deleuze, etc.
