Excellent course! I was able to learn a lot, which not only kept me informed but also made me feel a little more prepared as I go through this global pandemic. Hopefully, I'll be able to apply what I've learned soon and help my community!

Very thorough. Sufficiently challenging and informative enough to help participants determine whether contact tracing is a service that they might like to provide. Thank you for providing this opportunity to take the class without charge.

The course is comprehensive and provides the most current information regarding Covid 19. It also takes time to educate and inform on the necessary skill of empathy, which is essential to illicit vital information from Cases and Contacts.

A thorough introduction to Contact Tracing in our current pandemic. Good background information, good presentation of timelines of infection and recovery. Extensive examples of good health communication practices. I enjoyed the course.

This course is an excellent tool for us to learn more about Covid-19, its origin, transmission, how to contact trace, even they teach you how to communicate properly with the case or contact! Also the material they provide is very clear.

thought that the training was quite comprehensive and well done. I feel like there are alot of questions that I would have asked to clarify along the way, and found that some of the quiz questions were unclear, but oh well....thank you!

The overall course was good and very informative. My only complaint, is the actual call videos. I would have rather seen the cases react the exact same way and how each contact tracer responded, Drew the wrong way and Amy the right way.

The videos were clear and concise and the graphics aided in understanding the information. I learned a lot and hope to use this information in the future. Dr. Gurley spoke slowly enough for me to take in all the important information.

The COVID-19 Contact Tracing course was presented in a manner in which non-scientific individuals can understand the evolution of the virus, methods to employ in preventing the virus, and the proper methods to utilize in contact tracing.

Thank you for this opportunity. I appreciate the videos and lecture. Must say some of the questions were a bit tricky but I passed. Take care and stay safe
Will you do a course on Fit Testing with the Certification? This would be great!

I wish there was a bit more about when proximate contacts are not a concern. Are infections from a 5 min conversation with an infected person really that rare? Also I thought some of the active listening portions were a little ambiguous.

Good information in a straightforward manner. I'm helping out with the Michigan contact tracing efforts and we went through our own training but doing this supplemental course helped me to build my confidence for a variety of situations.

Enjoyed the course. I found it very informative. I wish you could connect education to careers in the states. I seem to be unable to obtain a ground floor opportunity to obtain a job in this area. But, Your course was truly informative.

Very clear and easy to learn; perhaps bring the last evaluation in two could put a little less pressure on students. I had problems with dates, maybe another nice table with dates (Length) Isolation, pre-covid-19 sintoms etc. could help
