This course manages to be information-packed and interesting at the same time. Professor Tsang and his team engages the leaner in a conversation-like format in each lecture that is just the lenght!

The online course serves as a good basic introduction to the problems associated with relationships and the SSLD method for categorising and dealing with them. The course is mostly presented in short conversations 2-6 minutes long which makes it very easy to digest. Addition reading is suggested for those who wish to explore the various topics more deeply. Condensed notes covering the material are available at the end of each module. Questions are included in the modules to allow the reader to better internalise the material. The course is serious, of good quality and enjoyable.

I found the topic interesting. I have learned much of these lessons through experience but it was still helpful to label and understand the process. I liked having the transcripts of the videos available as I am a visual learner. Unfortunately, there were many errors in the transcripts, which could easily be corrected by a proofreader. I would recommend this course, especially to younger people who may not have much experience with intimate relationships.

I like the format. Some of the links to readings are not working. The text was not available at the U of T Bookstore, which was disappointing. Then yesterday I received a Certificate of Completion, along with an announcement of my mark which was 60%. That is not correct and It upset me quite a bit. I'd say there are more than a few glitches to work out.

The topic of relationships was very interesting and I found much to think about and digest. I feel I learned important lessons about my own relationships and about how to think of the relationships of others around me. The course was by and large well organized although I did have a few difficulties in navigating the program without delays and surprises.

Me core take-home is managing Needs. My own needs, the needs of others, the needs of society, the expected needs to be met. And how to handle differences & diversities, the various transformation stages of relationships. People don't stay the same forever, how to deal with changing needs & work on improving relationships, intimate and plutonic alike.

The course was very good, never the less i think is focus mainly in partner relationships and covers poorly the part of mother-son, sisters, filial relationships. I think it would help a lot to include more information related to those type or relationship. However the N3C can apply to any kind.

thank you, it help me a lot.

This course is very helpful for people who are already in a relationship or going to be be in a relationship in near future. This course explores you so as well so many other dimensions of dealing with someone else and what kind of expectation one can have from you, and how important it is giving space to other people.

The course is easy to follow, and I understood how I can apply the course content in daily life. It would be good for it to be more in-depth perhaps, with sharing of more research and psychological concepts. Other than that, I think it is a relevant and easily applied course!

This course in very insightful and welcomes you to look internally and understand your needs, and provides effective strategies for dealing with others. Its a long course, but really valuable and provides a framework that will help me moving forward. Highly recommend!

Loved it. More art/philosophy than science, but still great work! Very analytical guy the professor is. Don't remember him ever taking a moral stance, he simply states what people tend to do, and dissects their behaviors as a consequence of interpersonal conflicts.

This is a great course! I thought the 1st module was too slow & too abstract, but from the 2nd module onward it was a series of mind-opening revelations on how to have healthy relationships. There are a bit too many quizzes, most of them being opinion questions.

I enjoyed this course and learned a lot about relationships & communication. I recommend this course if you want to understand yourself better. I feel anyone can benefit from this course, not just people who are studying psychology or want to go into that field.

The course gives many good hints about understanding the power that motives relationships and helps to understand the dynamics of relationships however it doesn't include a lot of skills to be learnt on how to manage relationships in tips.

Everything in this course was intriguing and apt. Well put together, and followed a logical flow of topics. I removed one star because some of the videos were poor in quality (not content) and the audio was amateur at times.
