Extremely informative and very essential in my line of work with children at high risk. The course has inspired me to develop a base-line assessment model that can be utilised prior to the initiation of the individually designed interventions. This will allow the collaborative team to monitor the progress in each child. Thank you so much Professor Masten for your inspiring work.

I am fascinated by the form of the course, as well as the information that encourages you to think and look for more. I am grateful for all the conveniences with the language, I had not used English so intensively for a long time. I have something to work on in this direction. I also really liked the presentation of the guests in the course. Thanks for the wonderful time I had!

This a great course on resilience. Although it is skewed to child development, the principles can be applied to other levels social and political dynamics.
