It is not an easy course since there are many new Norse words with difficult pronunciations but it is very enjoyable and highly rewarding. A fuller transcript of the spoken lectures would be of some help for revision and revisiting the course in the future

A really good overview for anyone wanting to have an objective academic approach to Old Norse Mythology. It would be a real help to all those discovering Norse mythology so that they could be objective and not take things out of context.

The course provides an excellent overview of Old Norse Mythology. I gained a comprehensive understanding of the source material, their origins (or what is known of their origins), and can now easily navigate further learning on my own.

Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea that Britain had any input into Norse poetry. I have moved on to read Deor and am about to start Beowulf. I have a copy of Snorri's Edda but will bear in mind the influence of christianity!

An amazing course indeed, and I'd say the most user-friendly course from Colorado system I have taken so far. I have taken a bunch of history and mythology courses, this course taught me a lot though, I gotta admit

Awesome course. I managed to expand on the pre exsting knowledge I already had and gained even more with a deeper understanding of the topic. Fascinating stuff! Big thanks to professor Nordvig and my peers.

Great introduction to Norse Mythology and the intricacies and history woven into them. Much more than just memorizing names of gods and their special characteristics. Would love a follow up class.

t A very interesting course. I began with some minor knowledge of the subject and now feel much better informed. It has given me much food for thought and ideas for further research.

Thank you!

Just finished 'The Last Kingdom' and found the Saxon/Danish world so fascinating. This further deepened my knowlegde of the history of the broader Scandanavian world. Loved it!

This covers the basics of the myths and establishes a basic understanding of the historical and cultural context and knowledge that we currently have surrounding the sources.

This was a most fascinating and interesting course that I completed on Coursera so far! Looking forward to complete it with honours as well! Skål and may Odin be with you! :)

Really enjoyed a different perspective than the minor in scandinavian studies I took in undergrad. Wish there was more reading of the actual stories instead of recaps!

Absolutely love your course. Your breakdown of Old Norse Mythology was easy to follow and understand. Thank you so much for your knowledge and time!

I enjoyed the course and now I have a better understanding of my Norse ancestors. I have started to read the Edda's again and they are easier to understand.

The short synopsis videos and detail portrayed in this course give a very thorough insight into the Norse Mythology from the various sources available.

Rich in material and thorough. The instructor knows his stuff and included material sources and place names to illuminate Norse culture. Really fun.

So thankful for the opportunity to take this course! This is a great course and I found that the Modules were informative and presented well.

It is an extraordinary course for learning about the context when/where/how the source materials were created. An amazing experience.

Incredibly insightful and well put together; highly recommended for anyone intersted in learning more about this fascinating culture!

I really love it. I enjoyed this course so far. It made me learn more about Old Norse Mythology and learn more about history.

I love this course. I hope to learn more on Ancient Norse Mythology and the Eddas. I hope there are more courses out there.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course, well presented and easy to follow. Now I've got a much better understanding of this topic.

Thorough introduction to a deceptively "simple" subject. Lots of fun and a great start to future, more in-depth research!

I appreciate the efforts of Dr. Mathias Nordvig, As an literature students the myths were so inviting for me. Many thanks

One of the more challenging courses in terms of assessment. Written text not always accurate but content superb
