I loved this particular course. The topics are relevant. Each topic is supported by historical facts and examples and how is it relevant in the present time. It was a great learning experience!!!

One of the best courses that mixed interesting facts with theories. I study sports management, it's really intriguing to see how sports social values entwined with each other in history!

Le cours est intéressant dans l'ensemble et l'enseignant est dynamique et très spécialiste sur le sujet. Cependant il y a certaines longueurs par moment, et la traduction (en français) n'est pas toujours adaptée.

Interesting course, there's much more to the subject than I imagined before I took the course.
The lecture video's were good and the readings were complementary to it. I enjoyed the readings very much.

I enjoyed the course very much. It would be interesting to have an updated course since this one was completed to discuss and reflect on the increase in activism by athletes, especially in 2020

surprisingly interesting and apropos considering I do not watch nor participate in any traditional team sports. Not just about the big sports.

A very good curriculum, that could do with a bit of brush up at times, but I can only recommend it!
