it is indeed a good and rich course. but i didn't like the idea of a) peer graded assignments and b) not having exams on each part so that we could feel the sense of a real course not just a huge amount of information without evaluating how much did we understand from it.

Needs to be updated. Everything is prior to 2013 data when the DSM has been updated

I found this course very interesting and engaging. It looks at how mental health and illness are socially constructed and how this can lead to stigmatisation and negative outcomes for the person with a mental health condition. The other side of the coin shows how when support networks are in place and when mental disorders are de-stigmatised the outcomes for many people are considerably improved. My thanks to the educator and course organisers for this informative course.

This was a really interesting and engaging course.

This has been a wonderful course and I am glad that it is offered here through Coursera. I learned a lot and am able to apply my new skills into my current career position. Thank you Charmaine for a lovely experience and platform of learning.

It was so structured and meaningfully engaging. Loved every part of it . Thank you Charmaine for bringing this course to coursera. Lots of best wishes to you.

well worth the time. The professor makes the course easy to learn from.

Great content. A lot of information about mental health and illness.

cool course

The insight gained from the course was amazing. I learnt a lot! Plus the teaching style and course content made the whole difference.

Great course. Very interesting topic, well-presented, and lots of useful readings.

The information and coursework was perfect. The only negative for me was peer grading. The course was well presented and very helpful. The assignments were also very useful and helped to solidify the knowledge presented.

Very caring, personal educator. Thorough course on the subject.

Great course! I learned so much about mental health and social context.

The material was updated and very thoroughly presented. Assignments were very helpful.

Facilitator is very engaging and brings the subject to life. Will definitely recommend to anyone with any remote interest in mental hea

INTERESTING AND FUN COURSE. THANKS A LOT!

This course I think would really only be pertinent for people who live and work in Canada or who would want to or are very interested in this subject as it relates to Canada's history and practice.

The name should be: The Social Context of mental Health and Illness in Canada.

it any time

This is an excellent course. It is presented in a friendly and competent manner, useful for both Mental Health professionals and the lay person. Only the digital platform glitches and missing management compromised my rating. I use other online courses, and having the discussion forum below each video lesson is more user-friendly, essential towards the promotion of student engagement. The chronic issues of missing or non-functional links belie how awkward fixing the issues students have highlighted and recycling their solutions. These 2 critiques are the only reason I did not give a full 5 stars.

I enjoyed taking this class. I learned some interesting facts about mental illness and genetic propensities.

Awesome course by Professor Williams who taught us a lot about how to consider health issues under the social context to explore the interaction between health and social factors.

A great course. Charmaine Williams is a fantastic educator who made the learning easy, practical and very useful. The course has enabled me to reflect on my situation with much greater awareness. It has also motivated me to be supportive of families who are experiencing difficulties with mental illness. Very grateful.

The content and activities are very well designed and professional. I higly recommend thsi course to any person interested in learning more about mental health and illness.
