In three words: miraculous, meaningful and worthwhile. I will admit that I had completely different expectations from the course, yet this format with short films, discussions and home assignments assured me that it is an even more efficient method for a course to be taught online. I won't say anything new: if you want to be as excited about this course as me, you have to be involved in discussions, you have to do home assignments, moreover, you have to read additional articles regarding the specific topic. The structure of the lessons is well thought-out; a workbook is included to examine oneself through different activities to enhance mental well-being. Now I feel much more knowledgeable about the topic, I can also understand myself better. Mr. Sivewright (the instructor and author of the course) is willing to help if you have any questions, furthermore, he himself also engages in discussions, sometimes provokes to think of the topic from a different angle, to look for more hidden signs in the video. However, it is a pity that I was the only student who engaged in discussions (sometimes the overall silence was quite depressing), that was the only part which didn’t succeed as planned. Thank you for this course and possibility to broaden my horizon.

I thought it was more like having drama activities for depression relief not just reflections on some plays and movies. Sometimes I am lost in the very long lectures that I don't know where the educational part is.

This course is absolutely fantastic. I am going to say why: 1. The Instructor was one of the actors in nearly every single film clip. This made me far more connected to the film 2. Numerous pieces of homework made me think about the films. I have posted my answers but it is up to other students to comment 3. This is not about cinema or acting but they all added quality to the course. The many studies quoted added depth to the analysis of depression 4. Famous films were referred to as well and that helped a lot 5. I also liked the full play shown - also written by the Intructor 6. The course is very long so plenty to watch and comment on and think about 7. I watched the Mk I version too and areas of that feed into this which is really great! Fascinating to see the film by the 17 year old Producer. So, yes, this is a fabulous course. WELL DONE UDEMY!
