The tools that epidemiologists use are in fact useful for all public health practitioners, including data scientists, program officials, agency leaders, and policymakers.

The instructor was excellent in taking students step by step in all modules and videos., however the only minor complaint is that the course was too short andonly for beginners.

The hands-on try out is confusing and some of the features are not the same as the videos or teaching materials. Otherwise, a good course that matches the learning outcomes.

The recorded modules were great. The written module needs to be re-recorded, and it would be fine if another person does it for a variety of voices and presentation styles.

Informative basis for epidemiology though it could have given more information and provided more hands on course work. Also, the final mapping exercise needs to be updated.

The course was very informative till week 4. The tutorial to download data from the US census page was difficult. And there was a difference in the software version used.

GIS section contained a helpful activity using QGIS, however, the website provided to export data no longer existed and the new site only had CSV files for download.

Some of it was basic. But I also learned a fair amount in the data sections and in the GIS sections. Unfortunately the GIS section is in need of an update.

The course is great, got to learn about GIS, but I do have one suggestion, as the video quality is only up to 720p, the graphs are not clear.

Es un buen curso, quizás algo superficial, no profundiza en los temas. Facilita el aprendizaje con la forma de exponer la información.

A lot of the data on mapping (GIS and Federal data) was not up to date which made the course not as interactive as it could have been.

Some information was outdate, specifically related to the census website, which caused difficulty following the GIS mapping exercise.

it's clear for building the basic concepts of Epidemiology from a practice perspective, and you can learn to use QGIS in this class.
