    Excellent course! I found it very useful. It really builds a super strong foundation to think about this User Motivation and UX. The word Gamification is something that some people like and some hate.

    I found this course to be great as for beginners and for someone who is already familiar with gamification. This course is well-managed and thought through. Assignments are interesting and not meaningless.

    I enjoyed spending this 6 weeks with Professor Werbach. Thank you!

    This course was amazing. It gave me the tools to not only apply critical thinking into gamification and the use of game elements in various non game-like structures, but also provided me with a helpful framework to develop gamified systems.

    Thank you a lot

    The course is not too hard and it's very suitable for the beginners!

    You'll learn the concept of the gamification systimatically and comprehensively.

    The three assignment are worth to give it a try, and you'll learn how to apply this knowledge in reality.

    Um curso excelente! Aplicado de maneira maestral pelo professor.

    Não pensei que é fácil assimilar os conceitos envolvidos, pois são muitos, do mesmo modo que é um verdadeiro desafio aplica-los à prática.Mas é possível e muito divertido tudo isso,

    Para mim o curso foi INCRÍVEL. Recomendo a todos! Grau de dificuldade crescente com conteúdo não encontrado em livros. Discussões muito produtivas e método de avaliação que verdadeiramente permite questionamentos e aprofundamento do conteúdo.

    I really enjoyed the course, it opened new doors for me. I think the rating system needs to be improved. The evaluation made by colleagues is not always correct. Coursera can improve its assignment rating system, including using gamification.

    Disfrute mucho aprendiendo sobre este tema. Las últimas 2 semanas ya se iba haciendo duro sacar el tiempo para terminar el curso. Uno comienza muy animado pero al final, aunque los temas son interesantes, otras cosas se vuelven prioridad.
