Dr. Reivich is a terrific presenter. She provides frequent and useful summaries, is clearly passionate about the subject, and has organized the content in a very logical, easy-to-follow manner.

Some tools are new and very useful, but the course doesn't provide a lot of new informations as a whole.

Excellent presenter. More rigor needed in ‘assessments’ perhaps? Thoroughly enjoyed it

I had hoped that the course focuses a bit more on mindfulness, but it was just a few minutes in which mindfulness was talked about which is a shame because resilience is very close connected to mindfulness. It was rather spoken 20 times about all of the bad stories which had happened to some people and how they learnt from it, that doesnt really give me skills, watching twenty different people over and over again talking about their bad life story.

I would not recommend it. I chose to not get a certificate and the administration locked me out of the tests and some very valid information. What I did learn was very interesting skills that everyone could benefit. If you do not purchase the certificate then it is not worth learning half of the information. It was not a good experience for me. I've taken several classes on coursera and this is one that was not enjoyable.
