Amazing course

Well sourced.

thorough

The dreamy and vibrant mythology of Scandinavia is really awesome!Some of the gods of the region are ever remembered,like Thor through Thursday.Ivwas knowing it before joining the course!The mythological writing is splendid and mystical.For instance,as per the saga of Ynglings,Freyja taught Odin The skill of magic Seidr/Seid.Skaldic poetry,Eddic poetry,Snorric Edda,Pre-Christian Scandinavian religious matters, the myth about mead of poetry,the central theme in the sayings of the High One - all these spread the vibrant tapestry of the Scandinavian old Norse mythology.

An interesting course! I hope that the specialization mentioned in the introduction video gets made; I'd take it! The videos were perfect bite-size bits of information, and the as-you-go quizzes were helpful. There were some with answers that contradicted themselves though; that would be my only complaint! Nevertheless, a fun an interesting course!

Course is suitable for me who is almost a total beginner besides a little knowledge on the sagas and tales. YOu will learn a lot of basic information and systematic information, but it will not go into depth of the characters, stories and myths, but it is nevertheless a good introductory course.

I'd give this class 3.5 stars if I could. The instructor seemed to be knowledgeable but the way in which he presented the information leaves a bit to be desired. Just reading off a powerpoint is not particularly engaging. I learned a bit though.

Extremely worthwhile course. Interesting material, well put together and well structured. The only suggestion I have would be to place more comprehensive explanations of wrong answers next to quiz questions, instead of just saying "incorrect".

The first week was very rough and almost discouraged me from finishing. It just feels like a lot of words and with the accent, it is hard to follow. If it was broken up by the little quizzes between each lesson it would be much better.

There´s too much text, more pictures would make it more interesting, like those of historical sites, runic language, original books from whitch the information its taken. Nice course and I hope to see a continuation.

It was a very useful course and very interesting! However, I'd recommend to also publish the texts we discuss, because now we just get a summary without ever reading an Old Norse poem or anything

It was really good. I wished, of course, for more time and learning but that was not in the description so I received what was promised.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Wonderful information and a great foundation of understanding Norse Mythology

I found the delivery of the course content to be smooth and fluid albeit a bit dry in places.

wanted to hear more about the myths. a good course for what it was. andrew morris

Informative and well delivered.

Very interesting but too short

After finishing this course, I feel like I have a solid background to start reading Snorri's Edda, etc. However, I would have liked to see readings integrated into the video lectures. The lectures are informative, but there isn't enough of a 'frame' to hang all the details on.

Though the mythology and stories are interesting in their own right, the presentation of them was not as engaging as I would have liked. I would've liked more visuals or videos, less narration.
