I had a wonderful learning experience. Kudos to Dr. George! Lectures are brief but very substantial, simulation videos are very helpful to how to do it and how not to do the psychological first aid.

Expertly taught and these skills extend far beyond just Psychological First Aid, you can also implement this knowledge into every day life. Well worth the time learning the material.

Concise but straight forward course to introductory PFA. It helped me differentiate PFA from Disaster & Emergency Psychology, as well as be informed about the important job of PFAs.

Good for understanding the basics of PFA in disaster response. The ongoing challenge is to educate those in Emergency Response in its practical evidence based grounding and utility.

I found the course to be informative and easy to follow along to. Videos were usually short and sweet with questions and interactions between them which kept me focused. Thank you!

Acredito que o curso seja extremamente útil, mas o fato das aulas expositivas serem dadas em slides fez com que algumas partes fossem um pouco monótonas, embora bem relevantes.

The course is informative and comprehensive. The material may be a little dry; nonetheless, I recommend this course for anyone to expand their horizon for when disasters occur.

Awesome course, I know it's hard to get some kind of real experience but an improvement could be making a imaginary scenerio to manage by our selfs to use what we had learned

Very interesting and indepth course. I did find accessing the Forum discussions a tad puzzling and getting back to the course was not always easy but overall well presented.

I really enjoyed the class and how it was easily broken down into 5 steps, RAPID. However, I would have liked some more examples/simulation videos of how to 'do it right.'

A good course to learn the basics of PFA.
I would have liked a response the answers to the triage practice in the forum. Otherwise, the course was engaging and interesting.

Would liked to have more examples and answers on Prioritizing based on evidence and risk factors. The video given felt insufficient to practice and no answers were given.

Useful information and techniques on how to help and talk to victims. Can use the same technique in our daily situation, always good to have compassion and understanding.

Great course, learn a lot about how to listen and correctly ask questions. Using RAPID model is a good way to help people in need during a disaster. :) Thank you!

The PowerPoint slides are informative yet lengthy and boring at times. I hope Coursera can do something to make the lecture more interactive and less monotonous.

Apart from the simulation video. The content is only the powerpoint slide with professor Audio Description, so it is a bit flat. But the course is very useful.

As some of the quiz questions are not very clear to me due to my own misinterpretation leading me to fail the quiz. But good that allow particpants to retry

Easy and fairly informative. I wish they showed more examples with different situations, instead of repeating the same situation throughout the course.
