This is really helpful. I've noticed that after taking this course, I am applying it to the actual field especially in my daily conversations with my students. I'm very happy because of this course!

This course is very toxic for teachers. They will make strict demands on your personality and force you to think about whether you are spiritual enough. Why aren’t similar requirements applied to other professions? Why would someone dare DEMAND me to be “spiritual” and “loving” for the sake of a minimum wage? No one mentions how competent a teacher should be in his subject.

All the unscientificness fits into the quote from the author of the course: “So I spent a lot of my life teaching optimism.” That is, realists and pessimists, according to the author, are second-class people, undereducated people who are unable to be teachers and good parents.

Also, this course does not offer new ideas. The authors of the course stupidly retell a dubious religious book that has no scientific value.

This course also sharply condemns childfree people and opposes the idea of individual value. In the course, all people are described as being of value only as future or accomplished parents. Do I need to explain why this is harmful?

This course would be very good but it seems like it was hastely put together and a little disorganized. It is nearly impossible to get the peer-reviewed work done on time for two reasons: 1.) the instructions are vague and not explained well. It is hard to determine what is needed in length and content, the rubric is also lacking in direction. 2.) when people post in the discussion forum asking for people to review their work, it gets deleted by mentors, therefore, numerous people have late assignments because there has been no peer-reviewed work done. Sometimes it can take weeks or months to get an assignment peer-reviewed for a grade to be able to move on. *EDIT* The course certificate doesn't even display the course leader's (or professor's) name to justify itself; its just a scribble with a smiley face. It doesn't even look serious. This course could be much better than it already is but for right now it seems more like a cash-grab than anything.
