Very informative and clear cut to the point
Poor editing- videos are cut mid-sentence (specifically section on the Iraq war)
Transitions and linkages between arguments/points of view are abrupt and not well explained.
Its easy to remember things
The instructor is doing a great job of skimming over the primary issues/drivers in the region from a bottom-to-top view. This is essential to provide context for more recent conflicts/issues - which I think we're about to delve into. I do not think it would take much more than one or two short-clip videos to update this course for 2020/2021.
While it was a fairly broad overview of many topics relating to the Middle East, it was a great starting point for many of the topics. There were also great additional resources provided that provided some depth to the topics.
I can't locate the Economist article he referenced. I wanted basic information, but so far this has been way too basic without any needed details.
Instructor was trying his best but the course content is outdated, course format is not professional and I did not feel many enlightening moments.
I am very happy with the course. It has given me a good understanding of the situation in the middle east and some of the origins of its conflicts. I would certainly do other courses with Mr. Lazarus
This lecturer takes the issue, one step at a time. He has simplified a complex issue and made if much easier to understand. His speech is clear

Seems a bit outdated, a lot of links are old and dead, a few times for some reason audio is turned off and can't get it back - general presentation seems amateur
