"I have, without exception, loved the courses that I've purchased. The professors are excellent and the material is covered well. "
"I have been a customer of The Great Courses for more than 7 years and they have always provided the superior customer support. "
"Am neither satisfied nor dissatisfied because I bought this course to use in my home school next fall. Didn't want to miss the sale!"
"On-line ordering is easy and quick. When I've ordered over the phone, customer service is friendly and prompt. It's always a pleasure.
Great Courses is enabling me to experience since 2004 the pleasure of an eclectic education - what I want to learn, when I want to learn."
"Easy to order and get started. Content if first couple sessions is helpful and interesting. But the professor has this annoying habit of constantly moving her hands in the same gesture as she speaks the entire time of the 30 minute session. "
"Everyday Gourmet is a very interesting course explaining the basic cooking techniques. There were a few basics I felt the instructor skipped over, but overall I have learned a lot and plan to try some new ways of cooking."
"Professor walks around, uses props, stills, movies, is succinct, lucid and entertaining, making the content of the course come alive "
"I have gotten the DVD's and downloaded just the audio. Both are quick and easy. I then burn the audio versions to a DVD. I have been ordering Great Courses for several years and have always had excellent service and high quality lectures. I especially like always having a streaming version available on my computer."
"Love the two courses my husband and I are viewing! Instructors are both excellent and the topics are fascinating. We are eager to watch many more. Our "Watch List" is getting longer and longer. Highly recommend The Great Courses and The Great Courses Plus! "
"Learning is a Lifelong Endeavor . The Great Courses offers the opportunity to learn at home as well as to share the learning experience with friends and family. Although I am in my 70s, and have technical and science degrees, I enjoy the opportunity to update my knowledge in a quick, efficient an inexpensive manner only available through TGCs. TGCs has also given me the opportunity to study subjects far afield from my formal education and experience. Add to this a great team of professional educators who are expert in their subject matter."
"Yes a great response from your organization - ordered Monday evening - delivered in UK on Thursday morning early. And I have just started the course.
I won't win a prize for this but I hope it helps. You really ought to look at your pricing policy US vs UK and tie in your special offers - e.g. in the New Yorker vs your US website vs UK website.
Best wishes Alan Waring"
"I loved all and each course. Great to learn this way, on my free time , or when traveling, listening as I go."
"The professor instructing really knew his stuff."
"It's early, I haven't had a lot of time to watch/listen to the courses I have chosen but so far I've been very impressed with quality of people and material. The lecturers are really into their fields and present at a level that most lay people can relate to. Keep up the good work!"
"While the information is good the teachers presenting the course are not very dynamic. I enjoyed the course but it moved slowly and was very basic."
