Despite my busy schedule and demands in my work, I was able to finish this course. And I am thankful to Coursera specially DOST-Caraga for allowing me to learn all this through their scholarship programs. Kudos to Prof. Masten and the rest of the resilience team.

Studing Resilience from multicultural aproach has been an amazing experience. I absolutly recomend this kind of courses, no just because the academic learning, but because the chance to share knowledge and opinions in discussion with people from world wide

I liked and enjoyed everything about this course from Dr. Ann Masten. Class sessions were focused on a single topic, brief and packed with information. Supplemental readings enhanced the class sessions with real examples, interviews, etc.

Overall, the course has been educational and useful. However, being dated back to 2010, the course needs further thorough revision with regards to the content, presentation style (very old-fashioned videos with the boring slides), home assignments with no feedback, no applicable resources that can be used instantly in the classroom or teacher trainings.

Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about resilience!

Quizzes are kind of confusing, and Id like more assignments to count for grades and less quizzes. Like points for discussions. Or give examples in own life of when you personally had to use resilience.

Good information. The lessons could have been more exciting or engaging. I found it a bit repetitive toward the end and wanted maybe more reflections or discussions to really grasp the course material

A very monotonous way of presenting the material.

Slow, repetitive, very obvious, old fashioned.

I learned so much. Each component was excellent, the lectures, the interviews, the videos, and the activities. The study examples highlighted in the course were illuminating and helped me further understand the concepts explained. However, I wish the course highlighted studies on Palestinian children and the ongoing traumatic stress disorder they live with on a daily basis, which results from the Israeli colonization of Palestine. I also wish that Prof. Masten contextualized her explanation of the study done on Israeli children during "Operation Cast Lead" and framed a more complete picture. All in all, this was an excellent course that I will recommend to all of my colleagues who are in the psychology or social work fields.

Resilience in Children Exposed to Trauma,Disaster and War: Global Perspectives is an excellent course which was thorough and interesting.. Ann Masten is extremely knowledgeable. Her presentations were pleasant and informative.

Did not expect it to be educative like this.I have enjoyed it and i have been able to gain more knowledge and skills on how i can handle individuals especially children who are resilient.Thank you so much for this opportunity.

I genuinely really enjoyed this course. It has provided me with invaluable information and forever changed my perspective on resilience. The instructor is very engaging in the way she presents the course. I’m very thankful.

Thank you so much for this course which should be taught to all teachers from kindergarten to adult. I learned a lot and I am very passionate about this subject! Thank you very much, Mrs. Masten!

A very insightful course covering multilayer aspects of researches, methods, case studies, and experiences on resilience in children. Thank you for the very valuable and helpful course content!

Wonderful and very well-detailed research-based course about resilience in children. Learned a lot from the splendid instructor. Very detailed and empowering course. Highly recommended.

It is a fundamental course for me, as a Social Worker it helps me a lot in helping children to be resilient exposed to trauma, disaster and war. Thank you

Special Thanks to Coursera for presenting this valuable course and Thanks to pro. Ann Masten for this so useful and applied and so valuable course.

I found this course extremely informative. The thorough overview provided of the research that has gone into the science of resilience was fascinating. The concept of adaptive factors and promotive factors for improving ones ability to overcome adversity was valuable because I work with at-risk students. I appreciated the perspectives offered by the guest speakers included in the course as well. However, the discussion forum was only slightly useful and having to take a "final" exam was unnecessary. I found the final exam process infuriating, especially when the questions changed for every retake not providing the option for the process of elimination. Since it's not a course one is getting credit for or to receive a final grade for a college transcript, it shouldn't be an additional requirement for completing a course!

I really enjoy and learned a lot about resilience in this course. Profesor Masten is a well known researcher in this field and know what she is talking. I believe it is a good appetizer for those who aren't sure about what way to go within the psychology, psychiatry, and mental health sciences. I would have loved for this course to have talked more in detail about the treatment and therapies to treat children and how to actually do the treatment; some therapies are mention during the course, but it doesn't really emphasises on any of them. Another reason that I rate this course 4 starts is because I posted a couple of questions about the videos of the course and they were never answered, I felt like if nobody was on the other side.

I appreciate your input. Thank you!

I liked the course in general. It feels a bit plain and basic. However, interviews with researchers of resilience and resilient individuals are particularly interesting, they're probably the best part of this course.

It's good that there are a variety of subtopics per week. However, sometimes some videos are not specific, i.e. sometimes they are more extensive than they could be.

Lots of material. Good instructor. But the course was tad too long. 4 weeks would be ideal

It feels like information is not updated for quite a few years.

Great course and very relevant to our day and age. I just wish that videos were more updated and so were the readings/ resources. I felt that videos are relevant however very old.
