I took the course wanting to learn more about what I was actually seeing in historical photos and cinema, particularly documentary films of World War II. Much of the lectures and materials were focused on actual history which I was often familiar with, and not on photography per se. So the lectures on Iwo Jima were spot on for me, but those on Stalin and Hitler were more in the nature of history lessons rather than discussions of how these images came to be.

This could have been so much better - if the photos and images had been clearly visible, rather than in books which were lying on the table and not clearly visible. It felt like an introduction to the topic rather than an in-depth study of the subject.

because of less student i wait one month more to have grades and today i just got a grades and receive my certificate thanks again i like this course,because it really help me to know more about history of images .

The quizzes in this course are not actually about analyzing film, images, and historical- it is about memorizing whether specific photos are real and fake, and which city was bombed before a different one. I had hoped the first quiz was only like that as an intro, but the second one is the same way. The videos are very interesting (and the only reason I gave this a second star), but I do not think the quizzes are representative of what this course is truly about.

Outdated and doesn't hold your attention. Grading takes forever and course completion certificates take too long to process.

Half of the links to external readings and videos did not work, which is the reason I did not complete the course. It made taking the quizzes fairly impossible unless I wanted to spend my time googling the answers.

i have learnt alot about history of war and photo altering

I cant get certificate even after completing the course
