I loved this course, I enjoyed watching all the videos and doing the assignments that always helped me in my day to day. This course have helped me to start applying positive interventions in my life, to get to know myself better and thus help others. Positive Psychology: Applications and Interventions has influenced me so deeply that I continue to learn about it and even study a degree about it. I am very grateful to James because his lectures have inspired me so much and I began to love positive psychology also I appreciate James' course variety to talked about topics that I really needed to learn and practice. I am very grateful to The University of Pennsylvania for offering this well focused course.

Thank you so much. It's an excellent course to take!!

First of all I´d like to thank very much Dr James Pawelski to accept me as a student of this incredible course. For me this course is really life changing, and a great opportunity.

Although there are many simple everyday tasks, We (students) need to follow it rigorously and be very serious commitment for accomplishing them all. Why? Usually in our lifes we are not trained to seek these emotions and intervene our actions with positive authentic, enthusiastic, and truly emotions. And It all in the name of the real satisfaction, the savoring for seeking happiness in everyday life.

I´m very happy to join this smartly intelligent movement.

I´m searching ways to create changes in my city and country with Positive Interventions.

The course Positive Psychology: Applications and Interventions was great! The presentation style was engaging; the information was informative; the shared research expanded my knowledge-base; and the interventions/applications were practical and doable. I especially enjoyed engaging my family and friends in the "strengths conversations". I also appreciated the additional resources and am especially enjoying the Pawelski's book, HAPPY TOGETHER. The course was professionally and personally relevant as I continue to "dive deeply" into the field of Positive Psychology and to build a repertoire of positive interventions. Thank you!!

It is such a dramatic reverse of my learning experience of this course.

At the beginning, I feel a little bit boring as the content is more theoretical. But at the end of the course, when I see the farewell of Dr. Pawelski in last video, I felt so sad, and wondering, is it just finished? I don't want to finish.....

In addition, by accident, the lecture, Dr. Pawelski's signature strength which he mentioned in video are the same as mine. Maybe that's the reason most of the questions he concerned are just which I am thinking about. He was like a mentor for me, though he did not know me. I guess it is the power of net class.

Dr James Pawelski's lectures are very comprehensive,informative and practical.

Besides relevant informations,learners are also required to go within,to reflect about our past experiences (positive and negative),memories,decisions etc and these exercises have helped me to have break throughs,for example,improved my limited perspectives and thought patterns.

Positive intervantions by using by character strengths have also been very helpful.The daily 3 good things exercise help me to focus on positive experiences and emotions.This helps me to end each day with appreciation and begin each day with gratitude.

As an educator and researcher myself, it is a joy to participate in a course as well thought out and presented as this course was. It balanced introduction of empiric evidence supporting the concepts presented, with a number of interesting exercises and thought experiments. It should be noted that while some learning clearly can take place within the course, its real value is that it provides a framework for life long learning in this field. I could recommend this course to anyone curious about the basis of positive psychology, and willing to try to incorporate some of its principles in everyday life.

I am grateful for this course and the positive impact it has has on my life. One complaint. The hope score homework needs to be streamlined. Truthscore.com gives a free test that does the math for you. The article that was in the additional reading of the hope score was much too dependant on a prior knowledge of how statistics are presented in a scientific study. As a consequence, it meant absolutely nothing to me who knows doodly squat on the subject. I think the guidence of interpretation of one's personal score would have been more conducisve to greater self-knowledge and well being.

Stellar job delivered by Dr James Pawelski and his team. A wonderful way to spend your time, gently massaging your brain and pampering it. I can already see the daily applciations in my job and personal life. A must study!

Two quick things to really work on for new modules:provide a formatted Word document instead of the transcript. It is really cumbersome to weed out time stamp and reformat the text properly.

Also, while the system tells you there are no assignments for you to review, you can simply click on the Discussions tab and find assignments to review.

Absolutely wonderful course that will enrich you. Its like a breath of fresh air, just need to keep practicing and reading from the book list, this is a course that will go on and on. I reallly did grow from my experience, and look forward to sharing the principles, concepts and methods with others. In fact, everyone i speak with is interested in the course. I have been sharing info from the Applications and Interventions. The course has made a difference in my life, and Im very much appreciative ....

The desire to take classes from a prestigious university was always in the back of my mind since I only graduated High School. Having taken this course specifically has opened my mind to challenges that I know I can use to push me forward. The explanations were like light vs darkness and caused me to understand the importance of goal setting instead of living as a hit and a miss. I appreciated the detailed lectures and look forward to taking the other courses in this specialization.

This was a very interesting and informative course! My only feedback would be that sometimes on the peer review assignments, it was difficult to understand exactly what the assignment was. The description was typically a long list of items that were covered without any true explanation of what the student was expected to do. I often had to partially complete it so I could look at the actual rubric to see specifically what we were supposed to cover. Other than that it was great!

Ha sido una extraordinaria oportunidad que agradezco enormemente, el poder enriquecerme con este curso. Una felicitación a todos los que forman parte de este proyecto. Es un curso muy bien estructurado, además de ofrecer herramientas sólidas, claras y muy útiles, tanto para poder aplicar en la vida profesional, como personal.

Deseo continuar aprendiendo acerca de Psicología Positiva, y tomando los demás cursos que ofrecen. Muchas gracias nuevamente y mucho éxito.

Dr. Pawleski is an enthusiastic and excellent instructor. He presents applications of Positive Psychology from current leaders in the field, his own research and his experiences in sharing this with his family. The course assignments presented gave me a deeper perspective on my well-being and those that I love. The assignments from Dr. Pawleski motivated student reflections on personal experiences, course instruction and interaction with classmates.

This course made me think. I've gone back, downloaded the learning outcomes page and am working backwards to make sure I really own the information and skills. Given the trends towards shallow stuff, I really appreciate the depth and meat. I'm looking forward to the next courses in the specialization and when I have the whole gestalt, I'll give another review about how it all fit together. In the meantime, thank you for putting it together.

Excellent course and has surprised me with positive interventions and I am grateful for all the knowledge provided because I needed them and I did not know many things that are important for my life, and each of the weeks with their lessons provided me with fundamental tools from positive psychology through theory, research and practice that allow me to use them in different contexts such as personal or work among others.

Very useful course, provides skills to use in your life and to achieve happiness and well-being. I discovered which are the different positive interventions: positive emotions, savoring, character strengths and goal setting. I really loved learning about all of them but specially about signature strengths. Now I am aware of my top ones and how to use them even more effectively. I recommend this course highly.

I learned a unique way to set goals that is more in alignment with how I thought they could be done, but couldn't express it in my own words. I've learned some techniques that have already improved the relationship with my wife. I have a renewed focus on Positive Psychology/Education. I finally going to finish the Carol Dwek's book on Mindset; helping me to be creative with my strength of Perseverance.

The course was well structured and logically organised, connecting the material to the initial metaphor of red and green cape. Inviting Dr Lisa Pawelski to one of the lessons was very touching. Dr Pawelski's speech was very clear and understandable.

The only thing that bothered me was the music at the beginning of each video. It was much louder than the lecture, so I had to adjust volume all the time.

Increíble cursos con muy buena explicación de los temas para que cualquiera lo pueda entender, ejemplos cotidianos de la vida real y ejemplos propios de James Pawelsk . Toda la información del cursos está respaldada por psicólogos profesionales y test válidos y confiables que son de mucha utilidad para mi carrera. Gracias por seguir fomentando la psicología positiva para una mejor vida.

The course is much more interesting than expected, from the beginning mentioned the red, cape to the end of choosing the goal support the well being, it surely not helping myself but your family, friends and workplace, coworker...

I would highly recommended you to spend time to explore deepening the positive thinking, emotions, behavior and action taking.

Thank you Dr. James Pawelski

Initially upon enrolling in the course I thought it was going to be the easiest of the five and that I wouldn't learn much (purely my subjective opinion).

Boy WAS I WRONG!

After the initial introduction the course quickly gains speed and you are thrust into learning mode! I loved the course and it has inspired me to delve deeper into Positive psychology applications and interventions!

Aprendí herramientas que podré utilizar en el día a día para poder estar presente y utilizar la Psicología Positiva. La Capa Reversible, es una herramienta que encontré muy buena y estar atenta a utilizar con mayor frecuencia la Capa Verde. Me di cuenta que no es bueno sobre-utilizar mis fortalezas , se pueden convertir en mi contra cuando soy demasiado justa o demasiada empática.

I dont have the words to express my thanks at this wonderful course. It had been developed with much foresight and goodness to spread positive psychology. Anybody who is interested in exploring the field os positive psychology MUST do this course. It has opened up the windows to my mind and soul.....giving me a sense of purpose and the power how to accomplish it. Thank You.

I love this course. The lectures are well prepared and with clear outlines. The topics are very practically listed and the tests are related closely to the lectures. The only thing I hope is to be able to search the descriptions in each chapter so that I can answer the questions and review the points. I ended up by copy and paste on my own notes. Thank you very much.

It is a great insightful course and the instructor is amazing in how he explains and exemplifies the concepts. It is not an easy course, it is challenging with lots of exercises and assignements, but it well worth it. It teaches you a lot of ways of applying positive psychology and I will definitely come back to it. It is a note worthy course, a document to keep close.
