Overview
Class Central Tips
El curso El Mediterráneo, espacio de intercambios (del Renacimiento a la Ilustración) quiere explicar, desde la historia y el análisis del pasado, el Mediterráneo como un espacio generado por las rutas y las circulaciones. Consideramos necesario divulgar la movilidad como factor histórico. Una movilidad centrada en cuatro grandes ámbitos: las personas, los objetos, las ideas y las prácticas. Al analizar la realidad mediterránea entre los siglos XV y XIX, del Renacimiento a la Ilustración, ponemos un foco especial en su orilla occidental, un área abocada a la transferencia y el intercambio, tanto en el ámbito social y económico como en el político y cultural, con la Península Ibérica, las islas y la Península Itálica como espacios de gran dinamismo.

Anonymous is taking this course right now.
the videos are too short and badly translated in english, the information is very basic, most of the references given are only in spanish, some of the questions in the quizzes are not translated. You have to be completly fluent in spanish to take this course but even then do not expect learning a lot -

Currently taking this course - I think the organisers have taken on board the comments about the poor translation and have attempted to address this to a certain extent but it's still not great. Don't hold much hope for the final peer-reviewed assessment as the question -
Trisha McLatchie completed this course and found the course difficulty to be very easy.
Agree with others about translations, level of information. I'm actually astonished by both, not to mention disappointed. On the plus side, I've learned about a couple of really useful books to continue on with. -

I agree with the previous comment. This course was roughly organized and is not well translated in English. Be careful if you intend to pay for a certificate.
