I wish there were powerpoint slides and some extra reading materials. But overall, I've learned a a lot. Mr. Kurz's teaching style is very powerful, I'm not tired a bit while listening to him. The course syllabus is well designed, I can easily shifted through modules. Thank you for sharing your information and wisdom for free.

Thats a perfect course, that really introduce you in schizophrenia symptons and how the patient looks like.Thats alll goood , i loved this course and you can learn more about neuropsychology and much more. The professor is really clear and domains that subject. Yes you can also learn about others theories.

Ideas clearly enunciated by a Professor who clearly has a deep passion fro this subject. It is also helpful that this presenter, Dr, Matt Kurtz, is personable and uses layman's language. Matt comes across as a friendly and knowledgeable advisor.

This is one of the best MOOCs I have undertaken.

An excellent teacher. And I liked the varied backgrounds. ALslo the enacted interviews demonstrating various aspects of schizophrenia. It was complicated for me but I'm 86 & never did any chemistry.

hank you for this course. I get know experience and knowledge in using different kinds of online tools which are useful and effective. I'll use some of them during my lessons. And lots of thanks.

INTERESTING COURSE. I HAVEN'T GIVEN SCHIZOPHRENIA MUCH THOUGHT OVER THE YEARS, BUT AFTER THIS COURSE A FEW RELATIONSHIPS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR RELATIVES MAKE MORE SENSE. THANKS SO MUCH.

Given information is very clear and easy to understand.

I really appreciate that it is just the most important parts and not the whole science or odd information.

Thank you, I learned so much.

i loved how accurate and precise and smooth this course was. very happy to have attended this. it really taught me all that i wanted to know and more. the demonstrations were also excellent.

The course covers the introductions to what schizophrenia is, the research done so far and the treatements available. The content is good. However, the delivery of the course needs improvements. Following are some suggestions:

1) The part where there are actors in the examples. I am not sure if such leading questions are actually asked to the patients by psychologist but it could be done better.

2) Prof Matt Kurtz is great at delivering the course however some early sessions and videos there is a lot of "emmm" "eh" "aa" used. It is kind of distracting and could be a possible change to be considered. The later videos this pauses are not so much and those videos are really good.

3) Is there a possibility to add a short video (where you talk about the treatments) as to how the family members of such patients could be supportive. I am sure many people who take this course might be looking for such suggestions. I understand that this course is not prescriptive in anyway but it would help.

Hope this feedback helps. Thanks for putting together this course.

Regards,

The Course was well -organised and informative and dealt with the History of the disorder and treatment, Various Neuroimaging techniques and treatment mechanism along with input on CBT. This course offers a deep dive into Schizophrenia and is perfect for Psychology Students !

I'm a Mental Health professional whom found this Course on Schizophrenia to be amazing! It was a perfect blend of neuroscience, presentation and theory. Thank you Coursera and of course Dr. Kurtz!

Information and learning was far more than I expected. The lectures were clear, crisp and the information provided was relevant. I enjoyed the course and learnt quite a lot about the subject matter.

Very informative, the professor is engaging. The demonstrations were especially useful in allowing the student to see the positive and negative symptoms in action.

great cours

Although the course covered both psychologic and scientific sides of schizophrenia, the same information was repeated all over the course. The information that was provided was crucial and enough, but the repetitions lengthened the course. However, there was an interactive part in which the learner observed a schizophrenic and answered some leading questions.

The style of teaching which involves a lot of didactic information giving by Prof. Matt and very little visual stimulus can get a little repetitive and it's easy to lose focus. I would recommend more visuals, especially when explaining pharmacological treatments of schizophrenia and for CBT, maybe an example of the session can be role-played. I thoroughly enjoyed the role-playing of actors portraying the various types of schizophrenia patients.

The professor read stuff out mostly...it was extremely tedious to follow,

Decent course. The professer was a bit boring.

It is informative but very sadly lacks empathy towards the person, it's very cold and non-humane in the way that the course is scripted, read, and the statistical and numerical approach to almost every bit of information

It is informative, but I didn't enjoy the delivery much. Pedagogy could've been more engaging. Regardless, glad to have had the opportunity. Thanks a lot!

No provide any lecture notes for review and self-study and very poor lecture.

Professor Kurtz is one of the few professors who I have a great time listening to and who also conveys class material in a very effective and efficient manner. His explanations were concise and to the point. I really enjoyed the part of the course where students enact patients with different types of positive, negative, and disorganized symptoms of schizophrenia such as delusions and hallucinations, avolition and blunted affect, thought disruption and inappropriate affect, etc.

Professor Kurtz is a really engaging professor and I really admired his lecture style. Overall, I really enjoyed this course as it taught me a great deal about schizophrenia and also added on to my knowledge in psychology and neuroscience.

I very much enjoyed this course. It provided a good understanding of what is known about the condition which I was curious about because it's a term used frequently but I didn't understand what it was describing. The course goes into the different aspects of the condition and does a really good job of showing why these views are held. It also goes on to explain the interventions that have been used and makes reference to studies that have assessed how effective they have been.

The course tutor has an engaging style and often explained concepts or phrases which helped my understanding. I would definitely. recommend this course

The course gives a very good and structured overview of the symptoms, current theories and possible therapies of schizophrenia. Since I am studying psychology it was perhaps easier for me to understand the topics discussed. The combination of lessons, patient examples and the quizes was not only interesting and easy to understand but also seems to me to be effective in acquiring basic knowledge of this complex and serious mental disorder. The inteview examples of different types of patients with schizophrenia were particularily exciting and interesting to analyse. I would like to thank Mr. Kurtz for this opportunity!

El curso abarca de forma puntual y precisa los aspectos de la esquizofrenia sin entrar mucho en detalle con respecto a la farmacología, me parece muy bueno para reforzar o ser una introducción para alguien que sabe un poco al respecto; me gusto mucho la parte de tratamientos para la esquizofrenia, ya que en la facultad me habían enseñado que no era posible hacer algo para ayudar, por lo que creo que es un plus para el curso, que no solo sea una parte completamente teórica, sino que pongan ejemplos con actores y también se muestre posibilidades más allá de lo que vienen en los libros de texto para el aprendizaje
