Great Courses Not at its best submitted by timdufresne on July 12, 2018, 12:27pm I love the Great Courses, but I get the most out of them when they are a little less focused on outcomes and prefer the ones that tackle big interesting topics. This one feels a little to market-tested to me. The kind of course a wealthy subscriber to the great courses would watch while on a corporate jet to meet with the Tokyo office.
