About the Course

Humans often fail to make rational decisions that affect their health. This course seeks to heighten understanding of the social and behavioral factors that contribute to health decisions and behaviors, with an ultimate goal of learning how to utilize these factors in improving public health efforts. Through a set of experiential learning exercises, students will learn to apply the science of health behavior change in their own lives. The course is appropriate for students interested in health care and public health, as well as individuals who are interested in learning to apply the science of behavior change to improve their personal wellbeing....

One of the most wonderful courses I attended, because it was the reason for the change for me and the people close to me.

I loved, and highly recommend it. I would like to see more statistical information included as well as readings that do not require login.

I have already learned this information from other sources: books, podcasts, so it was not really useful for me

The instructor doesn't engage with the learner/online student, instead talks to her grad students. The slides are not able to be read/seen because the camera is on the grad students or the three of them having their conversation instead of engaging the person taking the class. The grad students didn't add anything to the online learner. It would have been much more interesting and engaging for us the learners to have a pop up asking the questions she asked of the grad students even if she isn't directly "listening" or "viewing" the our responses. It was very annoying and I just wanted to get through the material because it was clear the instructor was not at all interested in engaging the online student. Most of the slides I couldn't read b/c of the videography.

I would recommend the Uncommon Teaching Online course on coursers for this educator to have a more effective course.

I couldn't understand the professor's raspy smoker's voice. The conversational format translates into 3 people facing away from the camera, mumbling at each other. After week one I stopped watching the videos; instead, I read the transcripts and did the tests.
