The quality of the content is good for an introductory course. The high amount of typos in the slides is distracting when you're trying to take notes.

very interesting and useful for my wider studies supporting my application to universities

good info, instructor really quiet. had to use earphones

The content is overall useful and is a good introduction to understanding the US welfare state. However, some of the quiz questions are unclear and occasionally do not reflect the content discussed in the course. Discussions are not very critical, I would have liked to have a greater centering of marginalised communities. The honours option seems a little excessively time-consuming.

Dr. Robertson developed a great course. I was a little put off by Garfinkel. A few slides need to be edited a little bit because the errors are distracting and may be confusing for ELL e.g. venerable instead of vulnerable ... I learned quite a lot even though I have over a decade of experience working in Health & Human Services. THANK YOU!!!

"US Social Services Compared" - I am hoping this course will help me out with a clear concept of US Social Services Compared. Thanks COURSERA for the such online access.

Very informative. I am very new to Social Policy, so the grounding was very useful.

Exceptional topics and Positive take-aways for our nations Welfare State
