Thank you

good

The course was great and had good foundational knowledge of Public Health. However, I struggled with week 4 of the course because it was evident that the course was recorded years before now. There were differences on the interface when practising with the QGIS. I was stuck at different points because some things were different. I resolved to using Google and checking out the discussion forum where I was able to find few answers from students. The sad thing was that none of the questions had answers from the school or tutor. Also, some of the comments were posted years ago, this means that the challenges were not resolved.

The subjects covered were less intensive and technical than I expected. Most of the information covered, I was already familiar with from my undergraduate studies. The biggest point of difficulty was the mapping exercise at the end, seeing as the students were mostly left to navigate totally unfamiliar territory on their own with the QGIS software. However, if it weren't for this course, I would not be at all familiar with mapping softwares or how to create content using one. For this, I am grateful to Johns Hopkins for the course.

Thank you for the efforts you have put in this course. I would suggest that the course will make a much more interactive and engaging presentations during the lectures to help those who learn faster with focus-sustaining visuals.

The course material is not up to date with the online tools it talks about. I browse the dataset/website it says in the lecture but they are not the same. It is hard to follow sometimes, specially the QGIS part.

The course has been developed very nice. Interesting and comprehensive information were provided. More insight in this could give learners more detail and good information to us.

Thank you

Sobre todo en la última clase le falta una actualización. Si bien entiendo que es un curso introductorio, me hubiera gustado que fuera un poco más profundo en los tópicos.

I enjoyed the course but it is a bit more basic than I expected. I would really like a course on GIS alone. That would be great. It is thorough and interesting.

GIS software installation to its working was time consuming and actually assembling files as guided was not that easy please work on to make it easy

It was interesting! I liked learning the history of the subject, and the professor connecting the dots of graphs and reaching a target audience.

Course felt quick and not terrible challenging. Would have loved for the grades to be based more on assignments rather than quizzes.

I felt that the pace of the course was quite rushed particularly with so many of the graphic content being fact dense.

Awesome course, but I was struggling to accomplish the last activity for week 4 which involves GIS in public health.

Helpful to understand public health problem and study epidemiology and understand tools and formulae to be used.

It was a good course. However, it is less interactive. It also contains less real life examples.

very basic, although well presented,materials for the target audience

Fairly interesting, but VERY basic. The info was good, there was

I learnt much from the course,thank you!

Very basic with not many details

It's too basic.

The course project didn't work. There was a problem with the data set downloaded from data.census.gov.

Not very exciting. Wish there were case studies.4

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I am honestly disappointed by this course. The first week is only a very shallow introduction to the history of public health and epidemiology. The second week only teaches you basic middle school mathematics and in the last week, there are partly no video lectures because the content is too outdated and partly there are video lectures in a bad quality. Each video is not very long, but there is at least a minute only music intro and outro. No support by teachers with technical questions on QGIS, I watched a youtube tutorial in the end. Gave me an overview though, on what I still need to study to work in public health.

Lecturer cannot articulate well in English so it was hard for me to understand him and enough examples were not given for the different ratios
