O Curso é bem basico, mas traz algumas consideracoes bacanas. É super rapido de fazer, entao em poucos minutos voce já sai com uma "licao de casa" para testar. mas, poderia ser melhor, se trouxesse mais exemplos em alguns momentos ou se tivesse outra pessoa simulando situações também.

I appreciated that David included his research in this course; I think there were some interesting insights he gave based on that. The research also helps for learning to efficiently build rapport and how to remain kind but demand respect, which I appreciated as an introvert and sometimes considerably soft-spoken person. For a final endorsement, I appreciated that David referred students to people he knew and other great resources. I do think David could be mindful of some of the diction he uses when he talks about cultural differences in making a first impression. I definitely feel it's better to acknowledge these differences (than to not) and that he's well-intentioned, but I think parts of the talk came off a bit insensitive and dominant-culture-normative. For instance, he talked about different countries and smaller regions in the Western world but then talked about "Africa," a whole continent. As well, some of the talk about greetings in the US could have been a little more culturally sensitive (in my opinion)--I'm not sure that "street greetings" offers the most positive connotation. Last, he told men to avoid looking at women's chests if trying to understand their breathing pattern--the gender of the observer could have been avoided altogether in that comment.
