Thoroughly enjoyable course that taught me so much and gave me a framework with which to examine anti-Semitism and hate speech in general. Great stuff!

This is an interesting course which explores important issues.

Thorough and illuminating. Highly recommended

Very nice course!

Hi,

This course is very informative especially for persons who are interested in learning about historical events. I would recommend it. However, during this course I had a few assignments/comments to complete so I clicked on reset schedules/assignments and unfortunately nothing was reset. I therefore continued to finish the course by viewing the rest of videos and reading the articles as I didn't get to complete a few assignments/comments.

Good Coursce but technical problems! 4 Points!

I wish I could give this course 10 stars. It was eye opening to see how many centuries antisemitism has been in the world and how it came about. The root causes are so deep, it may take another 100 years to eradicate the myths and lies about the Jewish people. Must take this course to understand why there is such a hatred of the Jewish people by some many cultures. (I Love Israel!!)

A whirlwind course through anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism. There are areas that do not connect for example Paul's letter text to anti-Judaism but overall a good course. A Christian, like myself would need to check their reactions and respect the facts presented in this course.

Fue una experiencia única y enriquecedora, una invitación constante a reflexionar sobre las causas y consecuencias de diferentes prejuicios personales y sociales.

Very well structured course, with a varied and excellent panel of speakers. I learned a lot.

Excellent material and panellists.

For anyone not having any background on the topic of antisemitism must find this course very overwhelming.However, if one paces onself , it can be done effectively. I would suggest that even if you do not subscribe for the certificate, you answer the discussion questions. They provide much neede time to reflect on the various stages of the course material,helping to reinforce what is being taught. An excellent course, and historical fact and context are easily relatable to events which are occurring globally in our world today. A good base course on which to build for future learning on this topic.

This is an excellent course!! The developers have incorporated an amazingly large number of scholars from numerous backgrounds, numerous disciplines, and presented an amazingly thorough presentation on antisemitism in many different settings! I know there remains much for me to learn about antisemitism; and this course has tremendously deepened and expanded my understanding!! Great job!!!

Шалом!

Дорогие друзья и организаторы данного курса!

Спасибо большое за уникальную возможность получить , ясную, четкую и структурную информацию ! Я сделал много важных выводов, особенно для меня как для евангельского христианина, стратегически важно было, получить качественную ,экспертную информацию.

Особая благодарность , за финансовую помощь, да благословит всех Господь.

A very good introduction to the issue of anti-semitism from biblical times to modernity. The course is well structured and well paced. I congratulate those who participated in the course.

This journey was full with information about Jews and their life expreriences through centuries. I hope this course has been a teaching for people against the wrong done to the Jews.

I decided to take the course because of issues that were being raised during the course of the war in Ukraine and some of the rhetoric being used on both sides of the conflict - as well as some of the discussion revolving around Iran and Israel and their place in the conflict as well. It's a sign of how volatile this topic is that when I told a friend I was taking a course on anti-semitism she asked me cautiously if it was a course in favor of or against anti-semitism! I told her that I would not be interested in taking a course that tried to justify anti-semitism - but what I liked about this one was that it tried to explain what it was, why it existed and how it had evolved and changed over time. I particularly liked the survey nature of the course and that it covered the phenomenon of anti-semitism from its beginnings in the Graeco-Roman world to the modern era. Even when scholars spoke from a certain bias, it was also clear that they spoke out of a large base of knowledge on the area and were aware of the complexity of the definitions, issues and discussion around them. I also liked the bibliographies for further reading. My only real quibble - and I've had it with other Coursera courses - is that the grading mechanism left something to be desired. I was glad that this one didn't rely on multiple-choice questions, and opted for short answer and paragraph instead. But I was sad that none of the discussion work along the way counted towards the final grade. There was also a problem with the final exam asking students to only answer 4 of the 15 questions (though students could answer more if they wished for extra credit). But many of us then discovered that the system would not accept our exams unless we answered ALL of the questions observing the minimum word count in each. This needs to be fixed. Outside of this, I enjoyed the course and felt I got what I was looking for in it.

A good course overall. I think it is lacking in the 2000 year history to the present age and dont subscribe to all your conclusions. I also think the emphasis on legislation as a solution to antisemetism is short sighted and missses the mark. Nevertheless it is as i said a good course and something that should be required learning.

Good informative course content. Leads to a great understanding of Antisemitism.

Administration of course not so good. Final test instructions clear but not adhered to by testing center. Instructions called for 4 of 15 questions to be answered not all 15. Grading matrix virtually not existant. No max course grade listed.
