Praises from Authentic Global Learners on 1.0 Version of this Course
- A well-designed course, and a must-take course of the year!!!
- It's amazingly well organized and very thought provoking. I appreciate this work and encourage everyone to take a chance to learn from it.
- As a veteran of over 200 MOOCs I must say it is very well organised and the ebook is a really worthwhile resource not only for this course but as a reference book beyond the course. It is obvious that a lot of work and effort went into producing the MOOC.
- Great and thought-provoking content inside. Nicely-made!!
- It is a creative way to address questions raised by the course.
- This is great stuff!!!
- The course content is well-chosen
- Excellent video clips!!!
Praises from Authentic Global Learners on Version 2.0 of this Course
- It was perfect mix!
- Realistic view of success!
- I found Dr. Chun to be excellent!
- This course was exactly what I needed!!
- A very well balanced course in total!
- Very clear, easy to follow and an engaging way of presenting complex matter!
- This is a great course. I'm really grateful that you guys have made it and I found it!
- Everything was inspirational and many topics were new learning experience for me!
- I loved the fact that it included the lives of successful geniuses who practically demonstrated the practical thinking skills for a successful life.
- As an engineer with limited knowledge of philosophy, I found the course very helpful to get in touch with it and get more interested in it.
- We need more such course on Edx! I will hope to see more courses from Dr Jack Chun! I will also request you to at least run twice this course in a year. This year I audited the course. I hope to do this course with a verified certificate soon in next offering of this course.
- This was a very interesting course that has made me to contemplate aspects of my life that require change for me to be successful, as well as giving me an understanding that the acquisition of material wealth will not necessarily equate to a successful life.
- The learning from this course can be directly applied to the real life. Last night, I was watching a mock interview of an IAS officer (in India IAS is a very prestigious government job) and in the interview, they asked some questions by putting you in the situation. In answering those interview question I felt that the knowledge gained from this course helps a lot. I found an application there to solve those interview questions.
- The part I like the most in the course was the interview question because there were 3 different good responses possible. I agree with the ideas of Kant in general, but I think in some instances, like the interview question, I will follow other philosopher's ideas.
- The mix of ancient and modern gave a well-rounded perspective on practical and philosophical approaches to living a successful life. It was interesting to compare and contrast Aristotle, Kant and Mill with the more modern approaches.
- Live video and interviews with people such as Jack Ma or Bruce Lee are the key. The micro-movie dramatization was effective.
- I can recall information from the cartoons easier. I enjoy reading thoughts posted by other students.
- The practical examples (i.e. cartoons on Kant, Aristotle and Mill) were very helpful to get across the points of their ideas.
