I found the course to be very informative clear and concise. It also provided me with an opportunity to learn more about the Corona-viruses and particularly about COVID -19. I and to also have a better understanding about how COVID-19 spread so rapidly and causing a pandemic that literally shut the world down for awhile.

When I was trying to figure out how I can be helpful during this pandemic, taking this course and becoming a contact tracer was one of the best options that I could come up with. So I am grateful that I have been fortunate enough to be able to do this. The training was clear and focused and I definitely learned how to help.

The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Contact Tracing course was very easy to use, helped me gain a better understanding of the coronavirus, the importance of supporting our community members who become sick or who come into contact with someone who is sick, and how critical contact tracing is to keeping our community safe. Thank you!

I am a community advocate and Labor Leader. I often work with government leadership directly. This subject has come up often not only in discussions of helping people but in potential state and federal legislation. This course is vital for anyone on the front lines or in the circle of creating mandates for society at large.

It's really useful. Not only the concepts of COVID-19 and the framework, goals, steps and tips of Contact tracing, but also a lot and communication skills (It's helpful use them to communicate with kids). And it's easy to understand the effects and impacts while using bad/good version to compare with. Thanks so much!!!

I actually enjoyed this course! I applied for a job with the state back in March and I thought that this would be a interesting course and help me in my job field that I applied for. 6 months later, I am in that position and needing to take this course! It is awesome, knowledgeable. Thank you for offering this free course!

Very informative and helpful. I appreciated that there were realistic concerns voiced by cases/contacts in order to provide possible responses and advice. I also really enjoyed the portion of the module that was about different complexities, and I felt the course did a great job of covering common problems and solutions.

The course is split up in very simple sections, not too long. The topics are very interesting, videos make the information very clear, readings were good and the quizzes helped prepare for the final assessment. Very interesting information to learn, I learned a lot of new things I never knew before. Very interesting topic.

This is a very good introduction to the Contact Tracing process. I would highly recommend it to everyone considering this as a way to understand the process and procedures of contact tracing. I especially appreciated that the videos were broken up into short sessions as opposed to an hour long droning lecture. Thank you!

This was an outstanding course! I learned so much information regarding COVID-19 and why there is such a crucial need for contact tracers if we are ever going to be able to reduce the spread and save lives.

I am very interested in applying for a contact tracer position so that I can do my part to contain this deadly virus.

Very informative and interesting! I learned a lot of things not only about COVID-19 but about establishing and building good rapport with people via phone conference. Over all, I think this course is defiinitely worth it, you should give it a try! The course is pretty simple and easy to understand. Best of all, IT'S FREE!!

Outstanding Course!!!

You walk away with amazing knowledge and new skills. The modules are excellent, extremely well done.

Thank you for an amazing presentation Ms. Gurley, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this for all of us. And thank you John Hopkins University for the course.

This a very good and informative course! It enriched my knowledge of COVID-19 and improved my contact tracing skills. It is Very useful tool in infection surveillance, creating rapport and follow up of both case and contacts. The videos are well made with clear audio and transcript. I recommend this to everyone. Great job!

Th education materials provided in this context is in standard format, very clear and easy to understand. Moreover, putting the conversations in a virtual prospective way helps develop one's communicating skills to build rapport and revealing the information they need as a contact tracer for effective transmission control.

I thought this was very helpful. Even though I have a Master's Degree in Science from Pitt's Graduate School of Public Health, I thought this was good for everyone. I learned a lot about how to communicate and the things to watch out for during interviews of cases and contacts. Thanks for having this important resource.

I was excited after a long time.

It was a lot of fun.

I was absorbed in myself.

The explanation of the lecture was easy to understand.

It was good because it was explained step by step.

I found it very interesting.

I had a fulfilling time after a long absence.

I would like to apply the knowledge I have learned to my future life.

Excelente, logre visualizar conceptos de gran importancia. Que me permiten mirar con mayor profundidad el manejo comunicacional y llenar las expectativas de protección social. Transformando la pesquisa y seguimiento epidemiológico en herramientas esenciales frente a esta pandemia.

Agradezco al equipo de Coursera y docentes

Having worked in the healthcare field for 10 years and given the current pandemic that we are experiencing, I felt this was the perfect course and the appropriate time to add to my resume. Well thought out course from start to finish. Would recommend this to anyone else wanting to also help stem the tide of this pandemic.

This was an awesome course! The information presented was very easy and clear to understand. Everything flowed real and was relevant. I would recommend this course to all my friends and colleagues because it's almost inevitable that everyone knows or will know a friend or a family member that has been affected by COVID-19

I really enjoy taking this course and it help me to learn more about covid- 19. I think that more people should take it to know what they should be looking for if someone they know get sick. To be able to know the sign of Covid-19 is a big help to me because i work in a daycare center. So just want to say again thank you.

Great introduction to contact tracing for anyone, including administrative and clinical healthcare professionals. The content is clear and effectively prepares the learner for contract tracing.

All front line workers would benefit from the modules that objectively cover COVID-19 disease symptoms, testing and transmission.

This was an excellent course. Easy to read, a challenge for comprehension of example of communication choices and time frames for examples of positive case incubation infection time frames. Had to take time and analyze best choice answers. Scroll bar drop downon some did not realize more answers were present in questions.

I thought the course was very good. Due to emerging information and information from different resources re: transmission, I thought that some of the possible routes of transmission are possible although not discussed in the course but overall, a great course that will help me enhance my performance as a contract tracer.

Excellent introduction. I live in Chicago and will be taking a 4 week course of intensive training at a local college which has teamed with the Illinois Health Dept. Hopefully this and the new course will lead to a contact tracer position. This is a vitally important function and people should be aware of its importance.

Very informative Course. So much I didn’t know about COVID-19 and by taking this course, I learned a lot. I highly recommend that any one that may decide to become a Contact Tracer or just for your own enrichment to take it. Also, the instructor was well versed and puts the information out there for anyone to understand.
