and easy to understand ways. Much of the course will focus on five questions: What do people get sick, disabled and die from; Why do they

An over-extended general survey course with without current data. While the lecture certainly had the credentials as an international financial consultant, he is unprepared to discuss current issues with viral and/or parasitic infections, transmission and pathology. Honestly, I expected a more challenging and informative course via the intellectual and academic reputation coming from Yale University. The inclusion of his "students" in the lecture either as observers and/or commentators I found distracting and unnecessary.

I dont found what I have expected from the course .explanation is very prolonged .Very formal way of lectures .I hope it can be improved to make it more valuable. Also instead of watching other students answering the professor questions ,I think short assignments during the video will be better Thank you

Class was not particularly good. The vignettes and asking the in person class questions seemed mostly like a waste of time.

And there was too much information that has been proven wrong for me to accept what was said without further research.

A waste of time.
