Great Course !!!!!! Week two is an exceptional lesson on Influence.
it's a very useful course!
Excellent material, good organization and presentation. But - too many ("demanding"?) peer-reviewed assignments for such a short course.
Outstanding! Outstanding! Outstanding! Need I say more?
Really good, I learned a lot and I'm really satisfied.
One of the best courses.
very useful and handy course. recommended for all
Exceptional course, very easy to understand and useful in day-to-day basis. I only would suggest to provide additional material to re-inforce understanding, practice and train techniques shown. Great material you developed, University of Michigan team. Regards, Carlos
This course remind me so much of course done by Wesleyan University - Social Psychology, by great profssor Scott Plous.
If you are a white man and want to learn how to influence other white men, this is a great course. For the rest of us, this course provides some helpful tips and techniques. Unfortunately, the course instructors ignore the all-too-common psychological biases some people have about others based upon race, gender, age, orientation, etc. And near the end of the course, we watch a white man encourage us to use more emotion -- specifically anger. That is a laughable suggestion. There are ample examples of the fact that the anger of white men can be effective when the anger of others is counterproductive. Here's one: https://asunow.asu.edu/20151027-study-shows-angry-men-gain-influence-and-angry-women-lose-influence
