I really loved it! In particular the assignments. I am a creative person, and decided to take this course in order to understand the process and how to help others to be creative in their lives.

A good foundation on problem solving techniques. There is a lot of information to get through and the more you apply these techniques the better grasp of the subject you will have.

Very interesting and engaging. Unfortunately an asynchronous course doesn't foster a lively discussion among peers.

I waited for a month to receive my completion certificate because all five outputs were supposed to be peer-evaluated and were not immediately graded. This seems to be the aspect of the course that needs improvement because there are a lot of posted requests for peer-grading in the discussion threads. I also experienced receiving poor evaluations from students who seem to be taking the course lightly. For example, even when my submission obviously had a title and was worth a point, I was given a zero, and my complete portfolio was only given 3 points for 3 out of 5 completed modules. Ironically, the evaluator's comments were all positive. I also read a post from a former student who claimed to have encountered his own work while peer-grading submissions. Apparently, his portfolio was downloaded and submitted by someone else. Nevertheless, the course lived up to its purpose of igniting creativity.

The learning is 5 STARS. But the problems are far and wide, Read the discussions forums to see the problems. The course has been created but there is no maintenance or follow up by the creators. The discussion forum is full of people wanting to have their work reviewed. I would have paid except for the hassles.

Me hubiera gustado que los conceptos no estuvieran tan cerrados. La creatividad se interpreta como algo amplio, abierto.

I like the content organization, the reading materials and the type of assignments. However, I have two minor comments:

1- the forum responses need to be more comprehensive

2- I feel that the criteria used to evaluate works and products seem to be general, for example when we asked to submit PPCo, we only evaluate the numbers (how many pluses, potentials, and etc) not the content

Excelente curso. Bastante dinamismo y actividad. Aprendí sobre la importancia de mantenerse inspirado con las cosas más simples de la vida. Seamos más agradecidos con lo que nos rodea.
