What Others Say

I did not begin with high expectations so I am happy that I achieved the ability to contribute "intelligently" to political discussions in which I am included. Each unit was a challenge but I learned something new every week. It amazes me that when I read or hear on television, something about which I can say, "I know that!"

I do not think this course is too demanding, in fact it is really well presented, easy to follow and has excellent content. This is my first U3A Online course and I would not hesitate to do another, if they are all as well prepared as this one. I\\'ve done several accredited courses via University of Canberra and Swinbourne and this course is up there with any of the others.

Informative and helpful course.

In 1963 I married a man whom I assumed was just poorly educated. He did bush work and preferred to work alone. Those days life was simple but over time I discovered that he was severely dyslectic in whatever he did. He became very dependent on me which has caused enormous stress in my life. After searching for answers all these years, this course and the book "Hidden Victims: Hidden healers" has helped enormously by answering a lot of the questions I had and understanding better communication in our relationship.

Although not as isolated as some, ( 60 kilometres from town) I have found it almost impossible to commit to any courses which require regular attendance. I was therefore delighted to be able to learn through U3A Online and the Internet. I have enjoyed the course and will definitely do more. Thank you to all.

I really chose this course out of interest only so it was a surprise to be asked at the outset what my goal for the course was. However, stating a goal kept me focused throughout.

This subject is not something you ‘learn’ once, but remains an ongoing process of evaluation. That is why the written part of the course is such a valuable reference. I will use it often.

I found this an excellent, well written and well presented, informative course. It was easy to read and understand. This is not a light-hearted topic and at times it requires full concentration and serious self-assessment.

The course was very informative, and gave me many insights into dealing with other people. Trying to understand human nature is a particular interest of mine, and this course was very relevant.

I found the course particularly useful as I had been suffering from depression and had been seeing a psychologist. It helped me to express my thoughts and feelings through better means of communication and though it is difficult to break bad habits I keep referring back to my notes.

The course kept me busy and thinking for it’s duration which is what I intended it to do. I was not expecting miraculous revelations or a cure for the difficulties I experience from time to time within my partnership, more a recognition of their existence generally speaking, what triggers my own intolerance of certain behaviour and how some of my own reactions do not help!

Religion is something we are born into and little thought, if any, is given to other religious faiths until we are much older. I believe that compulsory and unbiased religious history should be a subject at school level (would that this were possible around the world). Hopefully this would lead to greater understanding and acceptance of other faiths and a freedom from religious fanaticism and bias. I thank the authors for their considerable effort in putting this course together.

A very interesting course. I now have a better understanding of all religions. It will make me more tolerant of other beliefs.

The course covered all areas of interest to me. I was recovering from major surgery in the early stages and it was a great distraction.

I must agree totally with those who have praised the quality integrity and information in this course. What a great world this would be if this level of discussion and understanding could be adopted by participants in all religions and all ways of life. Sincere thanks to Peter, Gwen and Henry and all who contributed to the discussion board.
