I do like the content of this course, but because there are so many assignments, you permanently have to wait for others to review and finish their owns. Learning on on pace is with that reduced what was especially for me really annoying as I am usually much faster and waiting can really destroy the overall experience.

But also the fact that it was announced like "as faster you learn, as less you pay" that also not true its quite obvious you are kept as long as possible in those courses.

I was disappointed with this course because it was too philosophical and didn't present enough research data to back its interventions. It's difficult to start implementing these interventions if you don't know why they would work. Also, the assignment instructions weren't specific enough.On the other hand, the interventions were useful and I liked the way James Pawelski presented his ideas. Overall, it was a decent course but not the best one from this specialisation.

Quizs should be enhanced. Some of the questions appeared not representative of the lessons. Some explanations seemed insuficient (red/green cape, although later it is posible to get the point, the explanation of the hope test poor). Last part of the course was more complete, the lectures were more complete.

The course had valuable information and I enjoyed the instructor. However, we touched on so many methodologies that we did not go deep. Some of the final session assignments were not clearly described. A few of the links did not work.

Good content but poorly presented. The antique and glitchy Coursera platform does you no favors.

I was disappointed to see so much Seligman worship. Please stop it.

I followed all five courses, this one was a lot of repetition. A lot of examples, the level for this course is very low. I like the first course better.

I think the course was a bit too focused on Mr. Pawelski's personal experiences and lacked information about literature and research.

Watching the videos got boring. Good content, but watching a talking head for hours on end was dull. I lost motivation

Good though sometimes seems a bit about selling books. The content is also book based summaries plus anecdotes.

It was a little difficult to understand everything from the way it was presented, it wasn't always clear

- badly filmed - not engaging enough to me - seemed shallow - but nevermind I learned something

It almost just repeated the previous course and there was too little of exercices

too many things to improve in just one course! Very hard to apply

The homework is a bit too personal for posting.

The content is great.

Good

This course felt like it could have been something great if they gave more attention to how it was being taught and the way it was laid out. It was very messy, and not really concrete. I feel like he mainly talked about himself? There's not one thing I remember about this course besides the (overuse?) of the cape metaphor.

I just wish Marty was in here from time to time explaining things, seeing as it started with him.

I think you'd have better chances with "The Science of Well-Being" instead of this one.

After finishing the first course, I've expected a deep dive into research and applications, as the title suggested. I felt the course was not thought out well, the lessons were annoyingly long for the superficial content they were trying to convey. The talks were repetitive and extremely vague. It was a disappointment.

Not to be negative about a positivity course, but I was disappointed that this course contains absolutely no science; it's all a bunch of fluffy philosophy and common sense. The course feels like it's designed for a child; did not learn anything.

The firts part of this course is really good. Didn't like this one nearly as much, the instructor is not very engaging and I think some lessons were a little boring and not that relevant, like the strenghts chat with his wife.

I really liked the course, the content and how it is explained. However, I felt really uncomfortable with some of the assignments as they were asking for very personal things to be shared with other participants.

Graphics would have helped those of us who are visual spatial learners. Also, some of the quizzes really weren't indicative of the themes of the course.

I would like to have some references about these subjects. It would be nice to have tips for good research articles and so on..

too high level, too far from the reality, not concrete enough for me

mostly review of course 1
