i rather have a stuttering and theatrical knowledgeable guy than a smooth talking novice for a prof...jus saying..
-
By the way - for you guys that harangue the prof for his speaking style - grow up. The guy is a genius. He's drawing from a great resovoir of knowledge and experience. Obviously, a great intelligence. What do you want - a supercilious weatherman? Get over it - smart people have unique personalities. Shut up and listen - you'll learn something.

I would prefer to see the prof every once in a while.

this stuttering and repeating repeating repeating random random stuf is just so bad.

As for his lecturing style, “de gustibus non est disputandum.” I can't stand stagey speakers, and so prefer his faster-flowing, more natural conversational style. The professor has a few tics some might find annoying or distracting (or endearing!), but he is confident and knowledgeable--this isn't an "um um" lec. In terms of substance, these lectures are organized and polished; he says he's been teaching the class for decades and it shows. I have not found a better history survey online.

The lectures focus on context and culture rather than facts and dates, and in this case the approach works very well. The prof is great at telling stories and linking them with broader themes without being overly abstract or theoretical. The facts and stories are not just trivia, and the concepts, patterns, explanations and interpretations are not just bullshit. If you watch for more than a few minutes you should begin to "get it". This is “big picture” history of the best sort.

Very good, substantial lecture -- not just facts, but theories about the reasons behind them. Thanks for posting!
