This course is wonderful! I now have a more objective understanding of when to worry and when not to worry about exposure to COVID-19, and how to prevent its spread. The communication tools are also valuable in a variety of situations, not just for contact tracers. I highly recommend this class!

With the conflicting views and thoughts on Coronavirus, this course was a GREAT tool to receive scientific and factual information about the origin of the virus, its structure, impact and mitigation. Also beneficial was i've broadened my marketability by becoming a contact tracer. GREAT course!

Thank You COURSERA for the opportunity getting my Diploma.

This is very helpful. It would be great if there was a truncated version of the course with the first three modules, just for general education for the population. Whatever we can do to better educate the populace about the actual science of Covid19 will put us in a place to better control it.

It was really helpful to understand the nature of today’s situation and be prepare to step up and help to preventing further spread. I’m glad I took this course, it prepared me to help out my community or everywhere my services are needed. Thank you very much for making these programs available.

The course was very informative even as start up in some sort of health care information investigation, I found it to be a great strategic start in fighting this on going pandemic. I believe acquiring the right information from cases and contacts can make a big difference in reducing the spread.

This course was very much needed. It helped me to understand the transmission and infectious period of the SARS-COV-2 much better. Now I can further educate the public much better about this virus and how to limit it's transmission. Thank you very much for offering this course free of charge.

Highly recommend this course. Very informative to understand contact tracing and the knowledge of COVID-19. Very useful in all health care professions, pre-health students, and other people interested in learning about COVID-19. It is good to educate self on social distancing with the pandemic.

Presented clearly and concisely. The information contained in the course will help me to educate others on the need for this important role in mitigating the disease. It also dispelled some myths circulating as fact about disease spread. It's good to be empowered with this knowledge. Thank you.

Este curso me permitió obtener información clara y precisa sobre la enfermedad del covid-19, siento que estoy preparada para poder compartir información, sensibilizar a mi comunidad sobre el covid-19 y lograr que tanto los casos como contactos, realicen aislamiento y cuarentena respectivamente.

Excellent training! I am not a contact tracer; however I have already been able to put into practice the skills and framework I learned from this training almost immediately during and after completion of the training. Thank you Coursera and Johns Hopkins for providing this valuable training!

The course teaches what the disease covid-19 is and that it is caused by the SARS Covid-2 virus. And, it illustrates the importance of contact tracing to slow and stop the spread. It teaches an understanding of privacy, confidentially, autonomy and justice in relationship to the public welfare.

Thank you very much. I'm a technologist in the ACLU and have been working on issues around contact tracing, especially technological assistance. I wanted to learn what contact tracers do, so this was valuable to me to understand what really goes on.

The course was everything I hoped it would be.

This course was easy to follow and easy to learn! It will be a great tool to help educate the public about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and provide a basic understanding of what is involved to maintain the health of the public! Thank you for putting this together and offering it to us.

Terrific intro, with a good mix of general info and specific details. The filmed scenarios are also very helpful. I appreciate the care used to reflect ethnic and gender diversity in the examples and test questions. Tip: If you find the oral narration too slow, you can speed it up in Settings.

This course was very thorough. I enjoyed reviewing the forms of communication. I am a Nurse so the concepts were not new to me but it is a very different form of communication when dealing with people who are not our patients or their families. I am interested in helping out in this pandemic.

Really informative and helpful. I am not going to be a contract tracing. But I want to learn more about the system and make sure the local officials can really apply the right tools and recruite enough contact tracers plus appropriate technologies to help people and prevent the virus spreading.

I am a nursing professor and program director for nursing continuing education at a Community College. The course is excellent for nurses. I suggest all public health agencies solicit all nursing or allied health programs to help with contact tracing in all states. The material is excellent.

Quality information well presented with one exception. They had a series of good and bad examples and used the male for the bad examples and the female for the good ones. They should have alternated the roles to avoid the suggestion that men can not do this work effectively or as well as women.

After taking this course I have learned a few things I can take with me in my daily routine in the workforce. Active listening will help me in my day to day life at home and at work. Communication through question types using open, probing and checking will help me be a better communicator.
