My interest in herbalism and alternate medicine brought me to this course. It was very informative indeed and I made notes often. The tests are also to the point. Thank you, professors and Coursera!

A very nice program for understanding the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Quite analogous to the Ayurvedic Medicine that deals with imbalance of vata (air), pittha (fire) and kapha (cold).

(back from finished course 2) course 1 CHM essentials yet still a bit difficult even for hk layman already heard some in daily life. for west med trained me this like a reverse translation + total new concept course, can confirm difficulties to explain CHM in english & teaching team really did best to make easier to understand. yet problematic auto chinese subtitle just disaster not only mixed up term like 'def/excess(虛實-証)' to its common english vocab meaning(or another concept ‘虧’), but overall content frequently misleading or just not translated. for deeply chinese lang/classic based knowledge field invite foreigner to join, official eng-chi glossary & exact chinese quotes is a must for learner research ref & further study. may consider cuhk chi med student volunteers join human check & remake chi subtitles, or im willing to help if related chinese quotes available... This is a good course deserve better refine.

Great overview of Chinese Medicine. This helped me review for parts of my acupuncture certification exam.
Many of the videos were slightly too fast, making it difficult to take notes. This also led to only briefly discussing many points, without providing background information or explanation.
This course is a great survey of Chinese Medicine that should help a curious student to decide whether they would like to continue studying Chinese Medicine in more depth.

This course was really great. For someone with a design background, it was explained pretty well for me to get a basic understanding. They go though some concepts pretty fast, so re-watching the videos was helpful.
A few things to note: -some of the videos are difficult to understand, so I would suggest subtitles -they don't provide links to the readings, but I was able to find free PDF versions through a simple online search

I found this course to be very good, My only concern was that the reading materials suggested as progression in the course were certainly for me here in Cyprus, very hard to obtain, either online or from other students.
Perhaps the courses provided could set up a library with reading material available to students at some point in the future

Great course. Untraditional. I had no idea before about Chinese medicine and how it is so different from modern medicine. Great that Chinese still have their integrity and own traditions and science. I hope their is another course on treatment protocols and options to be complementary for this course.
Thank you

El curso me ha parecido interesante como introducción a la Medicina China, pero no aprendes nada en el sentido más terapéutico. Se aprende en que se basa, los síntomas de las enfermedades y pinceladas de cómo diagnosticar una dolencia.

The course offers a good beginning to understanding the topic.
A few additions I am hoping for, or an additional course - would be
1- foods that can alter yin/yang
2- herbs that can alter yin/yang
3- common treatments for common ailments

Taking acupunkture courses this course helped me getting a basic idea of TCM concepts. A little more depth about the underlying mechanisms would be great especially Week 4 and 5. But after all a great course. Recommend!

Thanks for all these useful knowledge and information. It would be a pleasure if this course also provides introduction and some functions of some Chinese Herbs. Thanks

Good introduction to a more complete course. It would be useful to have always the correct answer when an incorrect one has been provided, otherwise how do we learn?
