I do love the content of this course, however I do wish we saw more scenarios play out when trying to get a point across. This course is just harder to obtain for me memory wise.

Should have been a complete course. The course did not give specific tools to conflict resolution rather information about the subject was disseminated

I wish there were another conflict specialization on Coursera to choose from.. one that is more modern, up to date, interesting, engaging, less patronizing .. etc. but there isn't. So I guess we're all stuck with this one. Need I say more.

experiences shared by the people are not informative enough, and reading from books is not a good way (i think) felt like bed time stories...

I didn't feel like I learned much. Some of the problems I've experience would take more than just trying to find common interest and compromise.

A lot of conflicts arise from personal agenda and gain and that's very difficult to deal with.

There was anything innovating in the course and the intro of each lesson was extremely loud.
