    About the Course

    Humans often fail to make rational decisions that affect their health. This course seeks to heighten understanding of the social and behavioral
    factors that contribute to health decisions and behaviors, with an ultimate goal of learning how to utilize these factors in improving public health
    efforts. Through a set of experiential learning exercises, students will learn to apply the science of health behavior change in their own lives.
    The course is appropriate for students interested in health care and public health, as well as individuals who are interested in learning to apply
    the science of behavior change to improve their personal wellbeing.

    Dr. Marney White is so kind and informative! I learned so much that I was actually able to work into my daily life. I constantly think differently now and I am so so grateful I took this class.

    It had some good content and strategies which provided insight into how to begin the process of healthy behavior change.

    I think the course may have been a little to easy for me at one or two points and as I have researched some similar things in the past and I wanted it to have a little more depth as well.

    That said: The overall course was good. The instructor was sound, and the lectures and materials insightful. I am glad I had the opportunity to take the course.

    This was a great learning experience and gave new horizons to me to expand my thinking and work on. I really enjoyed learning strategies and interventions for successful behavior change. One thing that I would like to mention was to add some more practical examples for behavior change startegies, their application and tools to apply them. This will greatly increase the interest and understanding for various strategies used in behavior change.

    I liked to see all this information in just one course. I liked to find strategies for my own goals and to have a peer group, so you do not need to feel alone while doing this.

    Only negative thing is that I found the videos a bit boring, so it was hard for me to follow them.

    But thank you for the course. I really learned some new things and will go ahead with finding strategies for changes!

    I think the lecturer is a nice individual. However, the lectures did not meet my expectations in terms of content. I was hoping more theories related to behaviour change would be discussed, and more evidence-based measures used to help change health-related behaviours would be presented. This lecture series is good but very basic.

    I enjoyed this course, and understanding that when I set goals for myself that I am more sucessful in more than just improving my health. The negative for me is the when I hear the word "um" repeated over and over . It's hard to for me to stay focused which results in me taking longer to learn. BUT I did!

    Very good course and met my expectations. The course has motivated to change my behavior esp. in continuing my physical exercise routine with the concept of reinforcement. I thank the Professor and the staff for the wonderful course. The conversation methodology of teaching is very good and interesting.

    The main health aspects of the course were well chosen and presented. I think the topics related to behavior change could be deepened. It seems to me that this is the most difficult part of achieving a meaningful end significant results.

    The instructor doesn't engage with the learner/online student, instead talks to her grad students. The slides are not able to be read/seen because the camera is on the grad students or the three of them having their conversation instead of engaging the person taking the class. The grad students didn't add anything to the online learner. It would have been much more interesting and engaging for us the learners to have a pop up asking the questions she asked of the grad students even if she isn't directly "listening" or "viewing" the our responses. It was very annoying and I just wanted to get through the material because it was clear the instructor was not at all interested in engaging the online student. Most of the slides I couldn't read b/c of the videography.

    I would recommend the Uncommon Teaching Online course on coursers for this educator to have a more effective course.
