The presenter has great information and excellent resources. however, you will need to go beyond this lecture to obtain the resources (free). So much of the lecture was spent on data presentation that the IMPACT of the data was rather lost at the end.

While the premise was interesting I found the course really data- and jargon-heavy and thus difficult to extract the main idea and practical applications. Thus the quiz was challenging too.

I was disappointed in the content of this course.The analyses were very limited - for microstructure, no analysis for clausal density or propositional load; for macrostructure, applying an analysis for fictional narratives that would possibly only apply to one of the 6 elicited narratives rather than looking at the cross-cultural applicability of high point analysis.

Subjectively -- I felt that Dr. Westerveld was a little scattered in her presentation style; ironically, her within sentence coherence seemed easily disrupted. Sometimes I had difficulty following her train of thought. Objectively -- The course and Dr. Westerveld effectively presented the target goal of a rubric/coding system for relating to personal narratives in children & how this method may be adapted to be culturally relevant. Assessment -- The examples were extremely helpful in making the point. Plan -- I look forward to learning more about this. I do not believe i could use this information in a clinical/practical way on the basis of what I now know, but I am glad for the context.

Marleen did a fantastic job presenting this material. I learned a lot about how to analyze personal narratives using a coding system. This was fascinating and very helpful for my career. I love how she talked about the impact of using pictures that would hinder different cultures and how to allow them to freely tell their stories. I also appreciate that she took the time to answer questions afterward! I really appreciated this course! Thank you!

It provides an excellent rationale as to the need to include personal narratives. While many of the concepts are focused on evaluation, it was made clear the they can be applied to therapy as well, such as story grammar elements and evaluation code frequencies. It also brought out the difference between elements of action (more objective) compared to elements of consciousness (more personal).
