I completed all the videos and assignments- but never got a certificate or any other grade...
A strange and bizzare experience.

What a phenomenally interesting topic! Prof. Le Galès sweeps through a large field of literature, presenting different approaches and views on cities each week, giving a guided tour of the characteristics of the many fascinating models of urban sociology and urbanisation. For me, a real eye-opener and an inspiration to look further into sociology and urbanisation, the latter clearly being a vital topic for the 21st century.
That you so much for putting this course together! (Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in where the planet is going and why we got to where we are now, even with no background in sociology or geography.)

The course was very interesting and begins with the correct historic perspective, going through every stage of the city and ends with contemporary trends. Includes history, facts, numbers and lots of information that can be further interpreted by oneself. Thank you.

The material is very, very good!
I am not very confortable with the professor as a lecturer, though. He is very distractig. At the end I opted for just reading the transcripts instead of watching the videos.
It is slightly annoying that the References are not properly quoted sometimes.

The course has some interesting content, but the way the matter is presented is not really appealing. Good for beginners with no background in social sciences. Sometimes it is impossible to understand what the instructor says (especially personal names) and the English subtitles are very very often wrong (some sentences do not make any sense, some words are misspelled, the punctuation is always wrong, and so on).

this course is a decent introduction and overview from a sociological perspective, of the city. It is well structured, progresses quickly, and begins to contrast the sociological analysis with contemporary theory and critical approaches.

Topic and approach are interesting, however the disturbingly-modulated voice and exaggerated accent of the professor can get a bit unbearable at times and make lectures arduous to follow and enjoy.

The course covers some historical theories of Urban Sociology but isn't very effective in establishing a connection with real-world experiences.

Really enjoyed this course and the way in which it was presented.
Stimulating and thoughtful with lots of ideas that I found relevant to my own experiences in the UK and Hong Kong. As a retired Geography Teacher, with a particular interest in the historical geography of rural settlement, I joined the course out of an almost casual interest in how the geography and sociology of urban settlement has developed over the last decade. I am now 'hooked' on the idea of a 'globalising urban world' and am reading 'on' and around the subject with renewed interest and making plans to visit some of the cities mentioned in the course.
Thank you for opening up this fascinating insight into the world of the 21st century.

This is a great class for a fairly in-depth overview of the field of urban sociology and human geography. I've always been fascinated by the urban studies, and seeing examples of the specific issues cities and metropolises have faced throughout the centuries (millennia) is really interesting. The amount and depth of reading is honestly comparable to many of the Humanities courses I took at university and higher than many other online courses I've taken. Definitely recommended.

It is a great course to learn more about the cities, the different cultures in the world, how the population and the cities are growing up in the technological and social way. I really enjoy it!
