Interesting course. Thank you Marney. It would have been better to call it Public Health, since dedicating a big part of the course to anxiety and depression is nto exactly what I expected when I chose a course about changing health behaviors. And on that note, it would be better to concentrate more about actually changing health behaviors (e.g., examples on how to use each technique, research on the topic). There is also a problem with the assignment that is peer reviewed (some students are not very honest and no one is monitoring it), and the quizes need to be double checked (I remember that the answer to the final question in the final quiz was wrong, because impressions form a study aren't facts of findings). Finally, a lot of times information is missing from the lectures, as if it was cut in editing.

The course was interesting but not very well structured. I was disappointed that it was mostly focused on changing our own behavior rather than learning how to influence others to change their behavior. I do understand the value of learning by doing but this course did not provide answers.

Thanks for offering such a great course!

Before taking this course, I already wanted to change my lifestyle for better. This course really kicked start my change process and offered some practical tips which I really find it effective. From the day I begin this course till its completion, I have been sticking to having 1 or more fruits serving almost everyday. I now see that missing out my plan once awhile is just part of the process. This make the change a lot easier. Even though I know i made a little change, it is at least something I know I can follow through and sustain rather than having the impulse to make a major change and eventually get disappointed by myself which I often felt in the past.

^^. Thank you!

It was a real opportunity for me to take a course from such a distinguished university (Yale) and Professor (Marney White). I am a believer in 'Behavioral Change' as a solution to my (and the planet's) health improvement needs because of this course. I have a new name for my 'health journey'now, from this course, it is 'Self Care!' Self care using positive reinforcement / influences did help me have healthy habits while lowering my stress during the 'self trials.' I do recommend this 'way of being' after doing it myself... as well as recommending this course! Thanks to everyone at Coursera and Yale that brought this learning to us! Great job! - Evan McNeeley

I enjoyed the course. Thank you for making it available for free. It was what I needed to help me with my goals to be healthier. Since September I have started a program of physical activities to feel better and hopefully shed a few pounds as well. While I have not shed much, my pants are looser, so it works. This course motivated to keep at it and solidified my resolve to keep active and pay attention to my diet as well. I am in a pretty good space when it comes to mental health but I found that section informative and it taught me to appreciate that other people may struggle and I have to respect that and be more supportive.

It was a great course. Mrs Marney is a very good educator. Listening to her was very enjoyable. At the same time, listening to the perspectives and contributions of the students from the Yale University Department of Public Health made this course much more productive. This course has been incredibly useful for me as an health practitioner. I would like to thanks everyone who contributed to the preparation and presentation of the course. I am very glad for attending this course.

I thought this course would be beneficial for a health coach, since our goal is to help others achieve their desired health goals. While a lot of the information was not specifically relevant to that goal, the course was enlightening, and what I learned will make me a more effective coach in helping clients understand best how to achieve change in their lives.

Excellent input to my life. A great motivation to share this knowledge with others and create a chain of reaction. Perfect reminder for anyone around the world! Excelente aporte a mi vida. Un grandioso motivador para ser compartido con otros y crear una reacción en cadena. Perfecto recordatorio para cualquiera alrededor del mundo .

I did not expected such a practical and exciting course! Every student needed not only to watch lectures, but also work on their habits in nutrition, physical activity and mental health. I tried well and I see the results! Thank you so much, I will try to use this experience and knowledge in my nutritionist practise!

This was a great experience and really taught me a lot about the importance of our overall health and how it has an impact on our every day lives. It helped me implement and focus on aspects I struggled with in the past with better strategies to be able to be successful in my personal health goals.

I like the format of the class - having students in the classroom converse with the professor makes the lectures more engaging and interesting. The professor is terrific and I appreciated the readings she put together. It was interesting and useful.

I was really immersed to the course. I enjoyed wacthing. In every week there was build up of what was intended to portray. I lost my attention in the physical activity part but i kept it pushing. As dietatian i'm glad i took this course.

This was a great course because I got to learn all about Health Behavior Change from evidence to action. I used this course to help me with my aging parents so that I could implement certain changes in their lives.

The instructor kept it simple and intriguing. For an 8 week certificate course, I would say that it was just the right amount of material to cover and I liked that she posted videos engaging with her students.

This course is an interesting introduction to the public health domain, the importance of well-being, and setting goals to achieve your desired outcomes. Kudos to Pr. White for her enthusiasm!

The course was very useful and helped me set, plan and work towards my personal physical and mental health goals as well as share the learning with my colleagues at work. Thank you Dr. White!

I feel very happy. I learnt so much about nutrition, physical activities and mental heath. I think that I have the knowlegde to change my habits from evidence to action.

Thank you all, especially Dr. White, for this very informative and insightful course. I am more than delighted to learn about the course materials.

Amazing Course. Very organized, evidence-based findings and practical application. I recommend this course to anyone interested in Behavior Change.

Thank you dear Marney and all staffs and participants.. I learned a lot and hope to apply these knowledge in my daily practices and my own life!
