Me ha gustado mucho el curso. La Dra. Santos comenta (y cita) gran cantidad de estudios de impacto sobre el comportamiento humano. Volvería a hacerlo sin duda. Gracias Laurie y gracias Coursera!

Laurie Santos is a very relatable instructor, she makes her students feel like she's one with them. Yale University's one institution I wish to be affiliated with, probably in a parallel world.
