I very informative talk that gave me a realPicture of who Diocletian was - and I was surprised! Rome sounded very lawless during that time and murder was a way of life! And it needed a strong leader - but life was cheap!

Kate gives us such informative lectures interspersed with great videos .......even great food indicative of the place. I love her presentations.

I have attended several of Ms Bolton-Porciatti's lectures and they are all high quality, very personal, poetic, beautiful and informative.

Like all Mardi Michels’ classes, this one is action packed with delicious results. Each dish was flavorful and will be stand bys in my menu plan. The instructions are clear, her demonstrations are complete. I appreciate Mardi and Context offering a vegetarian three course meal that will please everyone.

Mardi is a fantastic teacher. I enjoyed listening to how she makes each dish and how she’s tried different methods and why she uses the one she’s teaching. I also like how low-key she is and a very nice person. I’d take a class from her anytime and feel more confident in the kitchen. Plus I loved her accent!

As Dr. Campbell indicates, these Japanese rock gardens can be found throughout the world, so this helpful introduction is useful even for those not planning to travel to Japan. Presentation nicely balanced between religion, philosophy, and aesthetics. The modern examples were striking and unexpected.

Very well presented with extensive detail. I look forward to more courses by Dr Ballard.

Excellent!! Informative, well presented and enjoyable! I’m looking forward to additional presentations from Dr. Bell. Thank you Dr. Bell!!

Within three sessions, Laurent Bonneval presented an outstanding survey of French history covering 1,400 years.
Bonneval’s in-depth scholarship and choice of visuals to illustrate major historical themes are remarkable.

Dr. Bell NEVER dissap;oints! I learned even more why Franklin is a genius and it leads me to read more about him and I certainly will get Ken Burns'video!

Superb exploration of all aspects of Madrid: history, layout and neighborhoods of the city, museums and architecture and art, parks, streets and plazas, food and restaurants, and how to eat… ! Marvelous seminar!
