來自POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: CHARACTER, GRIT AND RESEARCH METHODS的熱門評論
I am honoured to be taught by Prof Duckworth and Dr Robertson-Kraft. I have been extremely interested in the concept of GRIT and SELF - CONTROL; this course has been extremely helpful.
This is an excellent course as an introduction to reading and understanding research. As an early stages post grad student, I have benefitted enormously from this course.
Not a fan of research and stats etc but this course was brilliant because the content and examples used as well at the lecturers were phenomenal.
This course is very well designed. It has been informative and is a valuable and essential component of the Foundations in Positive Psychology Specialisation.
