What do students say about the course?

"The course was very interesting, provided plenty of room for growth, and enabled collaborative learning even though it was online. The content was very clear. The lecturer was organized, led the course fairly, and gave it a personal feel despite the distance learning."

"The online psychology course felt even more intimate than a frontal course! The invitation to listen and share personal stories allowed me to express the dilemmas and thoughts that I had, into a large but contained space of the most intimate and anonymous colleagues one could ask for ..."

"During the course, I was exposed to a diverse range of experiences that allowed me to have a real and personal observation of myself in the past - as a child, as a teenager and in the present as a wife, mother, and as a career woman in changing dynamic relationships. These observations sometimes made me laugh out loud. These insights also gave me a new awareness of relationships that I was involved in but didn't always understand "
