Well done, mini quiz were well paced.

Slides and commentary were clean and voices were pleasant

to listen to.

This was long, I would prefer broken up into two sections.

I also would have liked to have known where I was in the process, halfway thru , 75% complete.

I also guessed at my time, I didn't watch the time during the training.

Well presented and executed. I took the course just out of curiosity and I am glad I did. The enlightenment and knowledge acquired is priceless. Gives an indepth insight into how the Covid-19 disease is infected. the symptoms and how it spreads. More importantly what we can do as society in general to stop the spread. Great course.

Very good course all around. I learned a lot going forward dealing with contact tracing for COVID-19, but also improving my listening skills and being more attentive to the needs of others. The information was presented in a way that was clear, concise and easily understandable. I look forward to taking more courses through Coursera.

This class was an excellent source of information about a disease that we do not understand. It provided me with a better understanding about this disease and how to protect myself and my family against spreading it to others. Thank you for this information. You have help save more lives by offering this information to the public.

This course was educational and enjoyable! Even if I never become a contact tracer, I learned a lot about public health and the COVID virus. The presenters were easy to understand and follow, and the sample dialogs were interesting to watch and critique. Thanks for offering this useful course for free during this time of pandemic.

Excellent course to gather important information about the tracking procedures and the COVID 19 virus from its origins. Well explained, clear and with details that helps build up knowledge and clarify the process of the tracing and the way the virus work and the way our department of health are working to try to stop this pandemic.

I had studied material on the CDC website prior to taking this training. This training was very logical in the way it was presented and helped me differential some terms I had learned as well as the process in many cases. Very well done. I would recommend this as a "beginner" training for anyone who is to become a contact tracer.

Well-paced and with a welcoming approach for a broad array of experiences. Through the course, I developed a sense of the challenges that contact tracers face, including the need for patience and really connecting with people in a frightening or frustrating time. Excellent lessons for anyone in communications and community building.

The courses materials are really helpful to provide insights about COVID 19, the signs and symptoms, how it transmits to other people, and protocols for contact tracing. The materials are delivered in such a way that is easy to understand and right to the point. It provides great examples with relevant videos and practice questions.

Informative, well presented, and timely, this course not only introduces students to the basics of contact tracing, it provides useful information about COVID-19's incubation period, infectious period, and what constitutes close contact. Even if I never use this information in my career, it is excellent knowledge to have. Thank you!

This course was excellent. While I have had some experience with contact tracing, the course provided additional information on the framework of contact tracing and how it can be used to benefit public health in communities to help slow the spread of diseases. The modules were very easy to understand and the facilitator was amazing.

Very straight forward and clear examples for full understanding. Terms were defined teach people that are not in the medical field therefore not intimidating. This is important because I never became frustrated or discouraged from learning. I recommend this course to all even if you are not interested in becoming a contact tracer.

Very thorough. Goes into detail not only about the medical terms and all details tracers need to collect, but also offers valuable guidance about building rapport with the cases and contacts, being an active listener and using great communication skills to guide people through difficult times and help break the chain of transmission

This course gives you a great understanding of Covid 19 and the importance of contact tracing in stopping the spread of the disease. I would highly recommend for salespeople in the hospitality industry because it gives us a better understanding of what the challenges our industry is facing and it enhances your basic sales skills.

As an educator and marketing professional, I thought this was very well done - audio, visual, video/role playing, quizzes and the clarity of content. One takeaway I want to share is that the skillset needed to be an effective contact tracer will be hard to find. I have ideas on how to address this should you want to discuss further.

The instructor, Emily, whose voice is still in my head, has an excellent style for adding the proper inflection. Chances are I am guessing Emily does not sing in a choir. Her skills as a public speaker are most impressive without having the vocal range of an opera singer. I would much rather listen to Emily than Amy for 5-6 hours.

I found it extremely interesting and way more in-depth than I had previously imagined it to be. I enjoyed it tremendously. It was challenging enough to whet my interest for more courses through this website. Also I fully intend to seek employment as a contact tracer and if any help is available on your behalf I would appreciate it.

Very clear and easy to learn, I recommend this course to everyone in order to stay as well informed about COVID-19 as possible. The more people who are educated with the correct information about this virus the more able we are as human being to reduce the spread as well as better treat those who have and/or will contract COVID-19.

This was a comprehensive course and was easy to follow. The quizzes throughout help retain the information needed to effectively conduct proper contact tracing. I am thankful that John's Hopkins University and Coursera put this program together. I would recommend it to any health care providers that may need to perform these tasks.

Very comprehensive course. The instructor's tone and pacing are very good. I felt the course was easy, though at times, you do need to think some specific things through as they are a little complex. The section of the course on communication skills would benefit anyone seeking to improve their communication skills in any field.

Thank you so much for your excellent course, Dr. Gurley. I really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience.

This course give me ability to help many people understand how they protect those they come in contact with. Keep up the great work and let us work together to continue to fight against Covid-19. Thank you.

This course was very informative and very easy to learn and follow. It taught me so much things I didn’t really know about the virus and how to connect with those I will be contacting regarding the COVID-19 virus. Great course!! I feel ready to go and make a difference and to help stop the spread of the virus one person at a time.

The teacher of this course, Emily Gurley, and the video scenarios make this course clear and easy to understand. The charts, explanations, quizzes, and feedback are reasonable and supportive. Having completed this course, I feel confident that I can apply for a contact tracing job with full awareness of what is expected and why.

The course content was presented in an clear and organized way. The videos and follow up quizzes were relevant. I am grateful that John Hopkins made this course available free of charge and with the understanding the the great number of available traces the more likely Covid19 will be contained, thank you.

Thanks Johns Hopkins University, Emily Gurley Mam and Coursera for such a most astonishing course.

Humans crave for Knowledge. So, I am feeling very gratified and blithesome after completing this course and acquired a knowledge about public health and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). It was informative, copious, educative and enlightening.
