I enjoyed the videos and the meditations. I have not enjoyed peer graded assignments in previous classes and so chose not to to any of these and thus I won't officially complete the course.

Dr. Slator is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend this class and hope there will be more mindfulness classes in the future.

Very interesting and practical course. Although I have been practicing mindfulness 3+ years now, I have definitely learnt new things from Prof. Slator. I am very very grateful for this course.
