Me gustó mucho el formato y el contenido. La maestra Ott me pareció muy profesional y muy clara en la enseñanza.

Me pareció sumamente útil y lo recomiendo ampliamente.

He terminado 3 cursos por Coursera y este ha sido mi favorito

Though I have not gone far in this course but I really love how the course is being presented. I have to recommend this course to all my colleagues. Conflict Transformation all the way

It's a very good class and a very important one. Everybody could benefit from this class. I will get some more of the literature in this field. It's best to stay away from claiming that some of these things are Native North Amercian. They are not they way they are presented in this class. These are Hippie / New Age adaptations and not authentic Native North American. There is a lot more to that. Native North Amercians don't like this at all since this is altered & not authentic. Thanks

One of the excellent courses that I attended.

We can apply this to ongoing Major Conflicts in world including Ukraine-Russsia .

Thanks

I loved listening to Professor Ellen Ott Marshall during the course. I enrolled for this thinking I was enrolling for something else but I kept up with the course. I can see myself using the techniques explained in the course while I'm working. The only reason I did not rate it 5 stars is because of the other students. I feel a lot of them missed the opportunity to bring in better assignments. If you're enrolling for a course I think you should aim for more than the strict minimum :)

I am questioning the peer review for grading. I'd suggest the course professor would review the assignments at least partly.

The course met my expectations, however I would prefer an instructor to review the assignments.

Content prepared in a way that is easy to understand. However, I would like to criticize the concept that all tasks are evaluated by peers (except for a few quizzes). The feedback is brief, there are no constructive suggestions for improvement and I myself rated tasks that were submitted years ago. The course was very interesting and educational. In terms of quality management, I would ask you to design other forms of examination in addition to the peer-reviewed assignments. At least 2 peers cheated: They posted a pdf with random stuff which wasn't their work or posted a story from the lectures and just changed it slightly. The background of the videos was sometimes a bit restless (people walking by) . I liked the lecturer. She spoke very clearly and vividly . I'm not a native speaker and I undestood everything.

The course itself is awesome! The biggest issue is peer grading. Some people get mad if they do not agree with your paper and when no one grades your paper you can't say you finished it.

Wow! An excellent course with both theory and application. The material is well presented and the videos are full of relevant information. The reading material complements the videos. This is an outstanding course and well worth engaging in. My observations for those considering it are that the reading material alone takes at least 3 hours a week to digest. This is because of its quality and depth. The coursework takes approximately 4 hours a week to complete, if done well and applied as the material directs. The course videos are a further couple of hours a week. My assessment is that it is a diploma level course. On this basis, allow 2-3 days a week for 5 weeks to complete the course, not the 2 hours a week specified. This should not put anyone off because the material is excellent and the learning is applicable to many situations.

I really liked the course content, that is why I am giving it 5 stars.

However, as a person with a PhD in Education, I strongly believe that peer review is suitable for formative assessment, not summative. In other words, I did not like it when I was given grades by amateurs instead of teachers. One student kept failing me ALL the time. I resubmitted all assignments without any changes and got over ninety percent, which just goes to show that peer review is not suitable for this platform. You cannot expect everyone to be logical, professional and intelligent. Please, replace peer reviews with tests. Questions can still be discussed on forums if you want to make the process more interactive. Peer review was the most frustrating and disappointing element of all courses I have taken here.

I loved the course!

It was very interesting, useful and gave me practical knowledge right away that I can apply in my work as of now (I'm a counsellor).

I liked the variety - namely sometimes reading, other times a video to watch and so on.

I found the assignments a good tool to check if I have understood and can apply the knowledge I gathered in practice.

The only critique I have is that it took me much more work to complete the course than 2 hours a week - as the course description states. Maybe I'm too thorough, but I feel I couldn't have done this with less time spent.

Thank you, it was a great journey and adventure! :-)

I recently took the Conflict Transformation course, and it was absolutely incredible! The professor was so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject and was able to make the course so interesting and engaging. She provided great examples that made the material easy to understand, and the course was packed with invaluable information. I feel like I learned so much and am now better equipped to handle challenging situations in my everyday life. I would highly recommend this course and professor to anyone who has an interest in Conflict Transformation.

A very good structured course with a nice balance of theory, practical tools and extremely well thought-through practical assignments that really make sense! Bravo to Dr. Ellen Ott Marshall! Her intelligent, engaging and humorvoll approach keeps you hooked from the very first seconds. High-quality video lessons in different settings, excellent sound and several add-ons like an interview with another professor about body reaction to conflict and mediation session example with two more participants.

Excellent course! The professor delivers clear lectures that draw from and expand upon assigned readings. Coursework directly relates to major concepts and helps solidify understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about this subject and feel that I gained a lot from it, as well; in addition to developing a friendlier view of conflict, I have gained useful skills and strategies to apply to future instances of conflict in my life.

I loved this course. The instructor was very thorough and engaging, and explained the course material in such a way that the information was easy to understand, retain, and apply. I learned a lot about how to not just resolve a conflict, but how to better approach it from the perspective of transforming it into an opportunity for growth. I highly recommend this course to everyone. It was definitely time well spent.

A fantastic, insightful and well-structured online course. Can highly recommend. The application is wide-reaching and the way the reflection and exercises tie in are very powerful to inspire change in self, and become an advocate. Thank you to Ellen Ott Marshall for putting such an engaging and terrific course together. I'd love to encourage her to do a Level II (perhaps a deep dive facilitation course).

This is an excellent course. My only suggestion would be to consolidate the readings or give options for those articles that are very similar, ie: read this OR this, unless you have plenty of time to read both. I love the video segments, the instructor is very easy to understand and explains the material very well, especially for those of us not famliar with all the terminology of conflict transformation!

I really enjoyed every aspect of this course. I opted to do this course as I felt it would help me to deal with conflict in the workplace, however, since doing the course and learning about all aspects of conflict transformation I now feel confident to deal with conflict in the workplace and also in my personal life. Ellen was a great educator and also very pleasant to listen to. Thank you!

This course really surprised me. First even if it was virtual was very easy to follow. The exercises were very nice and easy to do. Also the real exercises fro the teacher were great( Mediator exercises for eg). The information sent was really compatible with my mindset and its very easy to understand. I am very glad that i take this lesson. Thank you for the hard work added in this course

I enjoyed this course immensely. The assignments were a bit of a chore but they really helped me to think through what it is that I was learning. I learned a little more about my conflict style and learned some tools that would help me consider ongoing and new conflict through the transformative lens and examine the potential therein for growth. Thank you Ms Ott-Marshall and God bless you

It is really interesting to think conflict as a natural phenomena. It changes my way of thinking as I used to see conflict as something to avoid. After this course it helps to realize that I can do much more rather than just hiding and hoping that conflict don't involve me. I think the course is worth looking into for everyone as we all live in this everyday conflict world.

Very frankly, I got into the course just out of curiosity but ended up being a serious learner. Why did I do that? I was impressed by the structure and organisation of the course, the empathy of the teacher (which came through even on video), the simplicity of learning which did not take away anything from the completeness or seriousness of what we were doing.

I've been taking Coursera courses for 9 years, and this is BY FAR the best course I've taken. Ellen Ott Marshall brilliantly helps learners understand the theoretical underpinnings of conflict transformation and equips them with practical skills to be peacemakers in their contexts. I can't recommend this class enough!

The course offered well-chosen content that elevated my thinking about conflict and approaching it. However, it needs to be noted, that if you plan to read the literature provided thoroughly, you will need longer than the time scheduled for the course (feels like I'm back to uni :) ). Thanks for the great curriculum.
