I enjoyed it! It gave me a little more explanation in some areas from other courses of the same nature, but it also gave me less. You presented it well and kept me wanting more. You're very engaging, which is very appreciated!! Might I suggest adding more videos as examples of exactly what you're trying to convey, as well as pdf transcripts for us to look back on. Perhaps transcripts of the questions and things we need to do or look out for. Otherwise, I rather Enjoyed this course, thank you for creating it!!!

I would love to have more practical examples (actually showing a video that provides us with visual content about the examples given). Great course though.

Feel bored watching a power point presentation and a teacher giving class on the begining, but after the initial the course got very nice.. good tips... Liked very much.

The information is great. The presentation is not compelling. It does not seem that the instructor put a great deal of effort into the presentation, which is basically a powerpoint presentation with a video that looks like it was shot in his basement (cardboard boxes, guitar and open doors in the background).

It would be 5 with better background and camera work. Looking down into the camera, puts us looking up at him. Feels weird. Plus I would like to have more videos of actual people lying to catch expressions and body language.

I am a professional investigator and have had the opportunity to attend a lot of training for detecting deception and felt this was an excellent short course on the subject. Easy to understand, engaging, and interesting presenter. All of the components of detecting deception during an interview were covered in a short presentation without unnecessary information loaded into the topic. Highly recommend this course.

This was very helpful because I think I can be gullible. I have my own business and it can be very challenging with employees. I believe this will help me in making better decisions....shocked about how many people do lie! I do trust my intuition, nice to know that is kind of top of the radar. Thanks!

This is a well presented course, good examples to explain the concepts, and I felt very connected to the instructor and the instructions being given. I would like to see more.

I should have taken this course a long time ago, then I would spare myself from being victimized by a Pathological Liar of an ex-beau. Nevertheless, learning now still isn't too late because we get to encounter different kinds of people everyday, and it's better to be sure. Thanks for the very entertaining and informative lecture. However, I would suggest to improve the coherence of the explanations, because few times, I noticed the teacher talks about a topic then suddenly jumps to another then back to the first topic. Nevertheless, all in all, it was a nice course. No regrets in taking it.

Tim, This course is well-prepared and organized. For a moment there when Tim explained BASIC; it made me think deeply about Baseline behavior, because sadly I’m a very judgmental person. All your jokes and stories are just great and change the formality of delivering such topic to audience who are not in the same science field as you are and keep them interested. A simple thank you isn't not enough :). I'd recommend this course to everyone; it's simple and helps you to understand people more.
