I have always enjoyed watching these "crash course" videos; I find them entertaining and informative. John Green always does a great job to pack so much information into a concise video that will capture the attention of the viewer.

You gotta love John's bubbly, fast talking method and his "special" sense of humor. Hard to be distracted at times.

I liked this video. It was funny, very informative, and fast! You should show more of these in your other classes. Also, I had no idea John Green was a history professor!

I learned a lot from watching this video. It was also interesting to know that at one point the creoles had mistaken other creoles for pennsinulas, which made the initial act of the Mexican revolution was counter productive. Great video.

Love crash course. Informative, short and to the point. History can be thick but John Green makes it fun. It was interesting seeing the fusion between Catholicism and ancient polytheistic religions such as the Virgin of Guadalupe or Tonotzim

So appropriate to use soccer as a metaphor for Latin America and Europe. Particularly during the FIFA world cup Brazil 2014. :D

ALSO, THIS IS GONNA SOUND LIKE SPAM BUT IF YOU GUYS DIG THE CRASH COURSE VIDEOS, YOU SHOULD CHECK MENTAL FLOSS OUT ON YOUTUBE. IT IS A TRIVIA CHANNEL HOSTED BY JOHN GREEN. YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT HIS COLLECTION OF POP CULTURE ITEMS AND INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT... WELL... MANY THINGS. ENJOY THE REST OF SUMMER!
