Love it but she could have talked a little slower and would have liked to have had the images identified as to country, book and even perhaps where that book is located.

I love this course! I'm a repeat customer and the instructor Christine Axen is fabulous!
-
Loved this class and I was so engaged the entire time. Highly recommend, even if the topic isn’t something you might think to go for yourself, there’s a reason it’s worth reviewing for an hour, I’m sure you’ll find yourself intrigued!
-
I really didn't find this class as interesting as I had anticipated..
-
-
This class has become my favorite summertime pleasure.
-
Very informative and interesting!
-
Great amount of information for a one hour format - thorough without being overwhelming and good amount of time left for Q&A. The instructor's passion for the topic shines through. Wish I had been able to sign up for more installments in the series!!
-
I have taken several History Happy Hours courses and will be back for more. Christine Axen is excellent!
-
-
Very animated and knowledgeable teacher. Loves her subject matter.
-
-
-
I always enjoy this class. It never fails to entertain and inform.
-
-
This is my third time attending one of Dr. Axen's lectures, and I will keep coming back! She is fantastic - knowledgeable, well-spoken, and enjoyable. I learn so much every time I attend one, so all I can say is: I love these happy hour lectures!

Christine does a great job. The chat is very homey and welcoming and she is both knowledgeable and engaging.

-
knowledgeable presenter.
-
-
As always, the talk and slide show was truly fun and fascinating. This time it was on Medieval fashion in clothing and hairstyles, with lots of background woven in (no pun intended).
-
-
It was very fun and informative! Will be signing up for other topics!
-
Love this course-so fun and I always learn so much!
-
-
Rich visuals bring medieval society and life alive. I look forward to each week's entirely new subject to expand your mind and appreciation. Christine's lively presentation and equally passionate audience make this a truly happy hour!
-
Christine's knowledge of the medieval world is mind boggling plus her down to earth teaching style & sense of humor enlivens the class. The only reason I didn't give her a 5 star rating is because she talks SO fast that sometimes, it's difficult to catch what she's saying, especially if she's using words or names from another language. I truly wish someone at CourseHorse could pass along my comment. Personally I'd be much happier & I can't believe that other people in my age group aren't feeling the same way.

History buffs, medieval dreamers, explorers— this is the course for you! You’ll always learn something new, actually lots of things. The instructor is so passionate about her field, she can pull in personal anecdotes (“when I was in Avignon archives”) and the latest scholarship to brighten the great arc of history. Each week is a different topic- always fun. Discover abbeys, walled cities and parchments rolled up for 800 years. Immerse yourself in another world, the roots of our own.

Always fabulous and very interesting! Christine has an incredible depth of knowledge! Thank you!

Always an incredibly informative and fun!

Christine was a fountain of knowledge & very enthusiastic about sharing it. It was my fault for not reading the name of the course carefully enough as I had no personal interest in it & expected it to be something else. But I will definitely sign up for a variety of Christine's Happy Hours in the coming weeks as I've become a Medieval fanatic. My one real negative: Christine, please slow down !! You talked so quickly that, although I practically had my head on the screen, I found your comments regretfully hard to follow.
-
I am always entertained and informed. History isn’t always as we think or have been taught. This is a very interesting dive into what we think and what is real.
-
-
History Happy Hour is one of the highlights of my week!
The presentations are always full of interesting tidbits plus a more global picture of the time and even of the way historians do their work.
The presenter is truly up on her area, and she is funny and very encouraging of comments and questions. I recommend it –even if you never thought you’d want to know about the Middle Ages.

I am loving the history night. The instructor is an amazing story teller.
-
Class is informative & interesting. However, Personal should be kept out of discussion, history needs to be told impartially & without biases.
-

This is my second time participating in the History Happy Hour with Dr. Christine Axen and both have been stellar. Great topics, great presentations (she is very passionate about her work and it shows), and just great fun. I will look forward to attending more in the future!

Professor Axen's explanations of medieval illuminations of animals was fascinating. Her commentary on the role of animals & animal imagery in Medieval culture & religion made her lecture even more interesting & relevant.

Dr. Axen was incredibly knowledgable and the lecture was very well delivered. The content was outstanding and the pace was perfect. Dr. Axen was very welcoming with questions. This is the best online class I've ever taken, and if Dr. Axen gives other lectures I will certainly sign up.
