A wonderful course. I've been working in contact tracing for over six months now and the skills I learned here have been invaluable. I'm leaving this review now, even, because I wanted to review some information from the course as a refresher; the surest sign that it was comprehensive and good. Thank you Dr Gurley!

This was a very informative course. The information should help me or anyone that is pursuing becoming Contact Tracers. This course is also great for individuals to find our more about how people can infect others and what they can do if they are infected by Covid-19.

This course provided a lot of information about contact tracing. I think some of the concepts could have been combined to make for a more efficient and shorter guide. However, I appreciate all of the efforts that went into putting together this wonderful program. It was very easy to understand and very educational.

The course covered the content very well. I do believe the presenter did their best, but the tone and cadence of their voice made me switch to mostly reading the class as opposed to watching all of it. That's a personal preference and not anything that should detract from the presenter's skills or qualifications.

The pandemic years teach me valuable knowledge about the importance of COVID-19 contact tracing. Coursera and John Hopkins University are the golden platform for those who are seeking good information and self-taught while you are quarantined at home. Endless of educational materials and readings are here for you.

This is a knowledge bank. I graduated with MPH in December 2019 and everything I was taught was brought to bear in this course. I experienced the practical aspect of my training. This has added so much value to me. I look forward to coming back from time to time to review this training.
Thank you for all you do.

This course advanced my learnings about this pandemic and the things that you can do to avoid being sick and appreciate the efforts of all contact tracers around the world.

The course was challenging yet easy enough to be successful. Take notes! There are great examples and lots of information, but it gave me a confident picture of a tracer's job and the feeling that I could be successful after completing the course. Very informative and well-paced to absorb all the new information.

Very informational and engaging. The information learned will help me be more empathetic to cases and contacts. I have already used the information to help a friend create a waiver to help her clients so that if someone did contract COVID 19 they would have a good document to help identify contacts. Great Course!

Even if you don't become a tracer, this is extremely informative information for you to use when dealing with friends, family or co-workers when it comes to doing the right and smart thing about reducing/avoiding Covid-19. Highly recommended as general information for the public to help stop and slow the pandemic.
