very well understood

This is an excellent way of to understand,

Briefly introduce some concepts of the drug use and some in neuroscience, a good introduction course.

Very good introduction to why people become addicts. Key points are learnt are our brains are wired to be addicted, addiction is a brain disease and needs to be seen and treated as such and that coffee which i drink everyday is a drug!

Very comprehensive on all aspects on drug addiction, though a bit too difficult for those without any medical or biological background knowledge. More animations / diagrams for illustration would make the course better.

I learned a lot in this course. I thought the rat experiments were very interesting and revealing.

I enjoyed the material and flow of topics presented. I did have some trouble getting a few of the videos to load in the module on Neurotransmission (week 5), which was unfortunate. Very interesting, thanks!

The instructor for this class is pretty boring, but do really like the course itself

ok.

Very well-presented course with excellent illustrations. Gives a good overview on addiction with pharmacology, with good links to further reading. I found the title slightly misleading though, as the course presented very little information on brain physiology except for the dopamine receptors.

So far, very educational , would appreciate if the videos would be little more discriptive

A great insight into the addicted brain and what can be done about it all. A great broad introduction into drug addiction and the brain.

Great course, wish if it was focused more on the glutamate and dopamine roles in addiction and relapse. thank you

Interesting overview. The teacher is clear and competent. Lacks opinion of differents sources

Overall, it covers good topics for an introductory course on addition, accessible and interesting. I do have two major feedback remarks: (1) the content jumps from simplistic to quite complex back and forth that can be frustrating. there are sections i almost could fast forward to, and others i had to listen 2-3 times in order to understand (mostly, this is about the biological mechanisms describe - by far the most interesting part of the course, so would have loved for these parts to be more detailed and more of them); (2) the tone is often unnecessarily preaching 'you should stay away from drugs...etc'. i see no room for this in an academic course. stick to the evidence, as it is more convincing. overall, a more balanced delivery would do good. Thank you!

Somewhat too simple, but still a good basic introduction.

Maybe too easy... And too focused on the society more than on the brain itself. Enjoyed it though.

Well, I expected more and more debt, It seems the course is oriented to the general public.

Did not like that I have to upgrade just to take a quiz

Knowledgeable professor. Distracting background. I prefer direct eye contact rather than having the professor sometimes filmed not looking directly at the camera. But the course gave excellent information and I enjoyed it.

《成瘾的大脑》这门课程内容真的很丰富，老师讲述也很详细，不过要顺利学这门课还是需要一些生物学的入门知识的。

So simple, not enough informative.

Maybe because I am a med graduate already I expected much more from this course. It was ok, but my impression was always like there was too much of talking what important stuff is going to be discussed, but not really the facts themselves. I would rather learn more practical knowledge. Anyway I learnt some new things as well.

I was a bit disappointed about the lack of exposure to different models for thinking about addiction and the effects of addiction on the brain. Current theories were presented as "facts"; correlations were presented as causation without further considerations of alternative perspectives. It was a satisfactory very basic overview of current thinking about addiction, but would benefit from a wider consideration of different models.

Very interesting as lay person interested in topic.
