Good MOOC. The only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that i would have liked tests on the knowledge for each week, instead of writing essayes and hopping to pass, based on other students. Although I passed all assignments (with 70%) and got 86.5% at the test (wish it was longer :D), again, I wanted more tests, it is the best way to asses your knowledge and learn from your mistakes. For example, one of the questions that I got right was thanks to a mistake I did when taking the in-video test. So, yes, tests are better than an essay.

Thanks again!

The lecture content was great and I learned a lot. However, the course suffered from: repetitive points made by different instructors, reading lists that were not well thought-out (some outdated links and basic websites), and assessments that were poorly laid out (i.e. in the response fields there would be multiple places to put your answer and the instructions were confusing). If the course had better formatting for assessments and cut out some of the repetition I would give it 5 stars.

I learned a lot about what the constructs are within positive psychology. I really enjoyed the guest speakers and the lectures about strengths and happiness. Admittedly the "my story" part of the course was my least favorite and I would have liked it if the assignments could be submitted as an essay and not in little blocks. I would have enjoyed it to have a more academic/research structure in the assignment section as opposed to personal review/take away.

While the course content is great, the lack of interaction with course presenters, and other students is a missing element... sometimes we learn as much from others as those presenting

.Also the marking of assignments was very suboptimal with high variations, and no options for non completed assignments, and the section on the count confusing, were we to put the whole assignment there or just give an estimated word count.

I do suggest a review on the contents, especially the reading materials for this course as some of the links and resources may have expired or be inaccessible right now for the current learners. Having an updated revision of the contents will enable the learners to read the modules as prescribed to us and be able to learn more within this course. Otherwise, a generally useful and informative course.

I enjoyed this course, although the submission structure of the assessments was not well designed. I think that needs to be revisited. For instance, only one text field had rich text enabled. All the rest were plain text. The assessments themselves were very interesting and useful. I think reflective assessment are the most useful kind with MOOCs and I benefited from these greatly.

As I am suffering from a little bit of depression from nearly one year, I ended up taking this course. Though its not the best Scientific Psychiatry based course but it provides large number of tools, techniques & basic understanding of whats happening around. Its a simple yet highly useful course for people who are hunting for some metal peace & everyday based human flourishing.

This course brought awareness of the importance of the voice of the individual in any recovery process. The importance of a social connection for anyone with a mental health issue is also vital to recovery as isolation and fear of being stigmatized are huge barriers to acceptance and recovery.

Hearing the stories of Tina brought immediacy and relevance to this MOOC.

I found this course very helpful. The reason why I am giving it five stars is because the transcriptions of the videos are full of mistakes. Also, the links to the self-assessments did not work (at least not during the weeks I was taking the MOOC, and I verified this with a couple of colleagues) and I found no way to contact anyone to bring up this issue).

An overall useful course, well organized and presented. Broadens our knowledge and gives food for thought plus some key issues for further learning. My only disagreement is the grading system. It is nice to get involved into peer reviews BUT a professional/teacher should be the one to decide upon the correct review and the grading.

I like this course but i don't like the peer review assignment part. I complete all learning course. but need to be waiting the score form peer review to complete my learning and get the certificate . This process i still wait for 2 day by no one give me a grad for my submission assignment. Very so disappointed.

Well-designed with lots of good information and references. My only criticism of the course is with regards to the almost total lack of interaction one has with other students. Even the peer-grading scheme is highly impersonal with little to no opportunities for connection or shared learning experiences.

The course was challenging as I have very little knowledge of the subject and chose it to learn more. As a result, I learned a great deal through the online resources and video lectures. I would recommend the course to anyone interested in the subject of positive psychiatry and mental health.

I enjoyed lots about this course, i found the assessing others work was not fair as i was not coming from an understanding of the categories. Woudl have been helpful to have been given and explanation of the expectations on how to assess the grades as sections seemed to over lap.

It'is a very nice course but the system of notation by the peer are not very good, and often they give random notation without reading and taking care of the comprehension which is sometimes difficult from a langage to another.

And we have no possibilities to contact someone for a help

I really didn't like the fact other students were marking my work as I feel I was not properly marked on my last assignment. I spoke about two different topics and was marked as I only had one topic. one marker said I didn't have two topics and I did, so it's a bit frustrating.

Excellent quality video lectures and readings. Loved the content and found it very practical. I didn't like how some of the questionnaires during the video lectures marked incorrect responses as correct. The format of the page where you submit assignments is not very intuitive.

- I liked the questions in the middle of the videos

- end-of-the-week assignments helped me reflect on what I have learnt

- I liked watching people talking about their experiences with their mental illness

- some technical issues encountered, e.g. some of the links do not work

I found this course extremely beneficial and totally worth it. The way it was designed to cover all the essential parts in positive psychiatry was perfectly put.

I think it should be a compulsory to any manager or leader to take it and add it to their degrees and courses.

Great foundational course for an overview of discourses in the field of Mental Health and the growing field of positive psychiatry. Course material and supplementary reading lists were very informative and easy to follow. Learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I thought this course was very helpful and contained some great info. The only issue I had was that I completed a few of the exercises like the questionnaires and they wouldn't come up as completed. However as I was still able to com

The course was amazing, it helps to someone who is having troubles in life. However, sometimes the course goes so deep in some topics, that for someone who is not professional in the subjects could be a bit difficult to understand.

This course has been a great help to me in providing deep insight into Mental health and taught me about the ways to deal with mental health issues. The content is really informative and the resources provided are excellent!

this course taught me a lot about myself and how mental health is important for everyone. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to educate themselves around mental health, wellbeing and the art of Happiness

An excellent course. Very well structured and expertly presented. Great essential and further reading lists. I would have given five stars, but felt the 'peer marking' element was not taken very seriously by some learners.
