Very clear teaching strategies from the instructors. Some quizzes though are a little bit hard on my part because of the type of questions and answers. But overall it is a great course to take with.

This is one of the best basic epidemiology courses. I was able to understand the measures of frequency and measures of association, and how to use them on the different types of study.
