I really enjoyed the writing prompts. I probably went overlong on all of them, but it was a good way for me to reflect on my new earning, my previous learning, and where I stand today.

Its a great course that gives insight into what is really happening in the field of social work. I like that those who are far off into the field share their experiences and how they continue to deal with issues in their work.

My Social Work Practice Advocating Social Justice and Change course was great! I learned so much about the different Social Work framework models and focuses that this wonderful field of Social Science, has to offer. I’m presently considering taking the flex and fast track for the Masters Certification in order to become more marketable within six months period. Am very excited about the core classes and the professors as well. Excellent school of Social Work.

I really enjoyed the course! I sincerely hope this course has a sequel where the instructors can give both intermediate and advanced level curriculum which involves mathematics used in social work, as well as economics, public policy, debating skills, and research methodologies. Other than that, I liked the course. Well done!

They let you start free, and then ask you to pay when you have to submit the assignment of first module. HORRIBLE!!!!!

Thank you. These lectures are so inspiring and thought-provoking. Awareness of social justice and diversity are so important for understanding this era and of course history. Everyone must know whats going on in this earth and take responsibility for social change, that fair, equal, including diversity.

Taking an e-learning course was a new experience for me. I enjoyed it very much. Week after week, I learned more and more about the life of social workers, which made me want to be one of them more.

Being very unfamiliar with the wide range of what Social Work 'is' and what Social Workers 'do', this course for me was the final catalyst to help me decide that I will be devoting much of my time to studying Social Work formally. I love that "hope" is such a key element. Thanks to everyone that devoted some of their time to making this course available online and so easily accessible. It is good work you do. Thank you for your time and effort. I am hopeful that one day I will contribute somewhere in a minor role. Many thanks will go to this course and the people that made it happen. The course, in summary, is inspiring. Best word I can think of. Inspired.

It is a great course for people who are considering social work practice. I hope there will be more case studies for us to get a taste of practising with social work frameworks. But I think this is a great course to understand social work (esp. in an American context) and what U-M's more than a century-old SSW has offered, which is fabulous. Eye-opening for non-American students incl me!

The course instruction and material were great. I did have some difficulty navigating the coursera platform due to a medical issue, necessitating my taking the course twice. The course itself, however, was fantastic.
