It was a very enjoyable, organized, and well-planned course. I am really happy with it.

It's a nice opportunity to know more about yourself, your body, and your mind.

Thank you for this journey!

Great course for beginners and experienced meditators! It has the theoretical and the practical part. Everything is balanced and interesting. I liked the informative part of the course the most.

In this pandemic scenario, while the world converges into my living room, it is difficult to be in control of our body and mind. More multi-tasking, more stress, degraded life-style, indiscipline and many other aspects are dragging us inch by inch to a mechanical life, where we do not care about what is going on around us or within us. We just need to achieve our tasks whether that takes us closer to our ambitions, aspirations or goals, or not.

This is a simple course which reminds us to be mindful. It reduces the fog around our senses to make reality visible; resulting in better decision making, enhanced mental health and increased care for our body.

An excellent and insightful introduction to the principals and practice of mindfulness. Dr. Slator is a competent presenter who clearly knows and engages with the subject matter daily. The information is presented in a wonderfully accessible way. The tasks and activities provide good first hand experience for starting ones own mindfulness journey.

The only caveat I can think of is that some of the tasks, particularly reflecting on the course for both marking purposes and peer review can get a little repetitive.

The course gives a good basis for mindfulness. However, you can't really ask the instructor questions. The discussion forums have too many people (as submissions to the forum are part of the course requirements), it is hard to connect well there. I tried asking a question of my own and it was completely lost in the shuffle.

Despite this, I have taken several steps towards mindfulness and I hope to continue.

Although I enjoyed this course very much, I do feel like it was a bit long and some of the weeks should have been broken into two based on so much content, peer review, quizzes, submissions and request to add to the discussion. I fond myself skipping quite a lot of the discussion prompt stuff because I just didn't have the time to do that and the other requirements weekly.

El curso es muy bueno, sin embargo meditar en inglés me es complicado, ya qque mi lengua materna es castellano. Aun así grabé mi voz con la meditación y las realicé. No me permite hacer las evaluaciones, lastimosamente, por tanto sólo tomé las clases y la información. Eso lo agradezco. Me doy de baja porque no puedo pagar ni este, ni otro curso, ni un certificado. Muchas gracias, porque aun asi puedo disfrutar las clases que imparten.

The course is very good, however meditating in English is difficult for me, since my mother tongue is Spanish. Even so I recorded my voice with the meditation and did it. He does not allow me to do the evaluations, unfortunately, so I only took the classes and the information. I appreciate that. I am unsubscribing because I cannot pay for this, or another course, or a certificate. Thank you very much, because I can still enjoy the classes you teach.
