"Expect following the guides given in this course will enhance my memoir writing to the extent my readers will ask for more!"
"I have been a Great Courses customer for over 15 years. Having bought courses on a variety of topics, I find them to be my alternative of choice to network TV. Long ago, I knew I wanted to pursue lifelong learning beyond reading, and just couldn't see a way to commit to courses at a local community college or high-school offered adult offerings due to involvement in other activities. Thus The Great Courses became my choice after beginning to notice numerous ads in various publications about courses on topics that caught my attention.. I have never regretted one purchase or even tried a competitor's product."
"I did a rating why do I have to waste my time putting in required comment"
"Have been buying and enjoying these courses for about 25 years and have listened to scores of courses usually 2 or 3 times thru. Fill my time and stretch my mind while driving or exercising. Thank you!"
"I like to say I spent 32 years in college. It was really only five as an undergraduate and four more as a graduate student, though--the rest was as a librarian and later an administrator in a graduate program at UC Berkeley. The point is, I've got experience, and it gives me the confidence to say that Great Courses is a real treasure-trove for a learning junkie like me. I've bought at least four a year for a long time, and found that the format is great, the quality depends on the quality of the professor, and I haven't regretted any of my purchases. Keep them coming, please."
"I love the variety of choices and the fact that I can go "back to school" on my own terms and schedule. Thanks!"
"Excellent teachers , cooking course very well done. "
"I've done business with your company for a long time. I like the products and so far, most of the professors have been great.
What bothered me was when I went to your website to order I noticed a comment that your payment process wasn't secure. It bothered me but I proceeded, after all, I've never had any problems.
Within days of my order that same credit card was used in London. I wasn't in London you see but apparently my information was. Coincidence?!?! You be the judge.
With all the professors surely you can find a way to prevent this from happening."
"Very pleased with the website and the speed at which the courses are delivered. I plan to order more courses after completing the ones I just received. There is a terrific variety of subjects so I will be trying out different ones."
"I am in my 77th year of Dutch immigrant stock, moving to Canada in 1952 as a young 12 year old lad. Times being initially tough I enjoyed 3 more years of formal education, leaving High school after grade 9 to go to work and assist in the family finances. However though my formal education ended, I was a voracious reader reading as many as 10 books a week from our local library. I discovered the "Great Courses" back in 2010 and enjoy them greatly giving me the opportunity for a college level education. Exercising regularly on a treadmill have it set up with a DVD player improving both mind and spirit. Your selection is great, the quality of the lecturers as well and I look forward to many more years of enjoying and enriching my life.

"Our family has bought numerous courses from this company over several years, and have always always been very pleased with the content and scope of the lectures. In addition delivery is speedy and the Customer Service department have always been most helpful when I have contacted them.
On this particular occasion I purchased a short History course (The Art of War) on behalf of my elderly mother-in-law fir my son's birthday, and she was impressed by the speedy delivery and he was delighted with the course."
"Easy to understand and you can go back anytime and start over from any point."
"Just getting started with the course. Very informative and should be very helpful for my wife and I both."
"We haven't yet received the courses we ordered on Feb. 27th. This is March 8 so it seems a little slow. "
"The cooking videos were wonderful - it brought back so much knowledge that I had forgotten or been too lazy to employ. Thanks for the "shot in the arm" of remembering how to be a caring cook for my family and guest. "
