Easy to follow and understand. The instructor was very clear and knowledgeable of the subject matter. The vignettes were excellent demonstrations of best practices. I am so happy to be a part of this.

Excelente curso para aprender nociones básicas acerca del COVID-19 que pese a ser básicas uno las desconoce, pero principalmente es un excelente curso para aprender a cuidarse y cuidar a otros para no enfermar de COVID-19; todo esto enseñado de una manera muy clara y ágil. Super recomendado!

It was easy to follow through all the course. I addition to that I was able to learn more about the covid-19 and how to approach to a person who is sick or it was a contact with a sick person. in other words it is a great course that helps you to get into contact tracing program like a pro.

I loved this course. I felt super engaged throughout all the lectures and learned a lot more about contact tracing, but also about COVID-19 itself. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would recommend this course for anyone who is interested in learning more about the coronavirus.

The course was easy to navigate and instructions were clear. I found the content to be focused, relevant, and what I expected to support my needs as an educational administrator leading contact tracing-related tasks within my school district. Thank you, Johns Hopkins University and Coursera.

Great course! Wish I had taken it earlier in the COIVD-19 pandemic, as it helped to clarify a lot of what I've been seeing on the news. Enjoyed the pacing of the course, and the videos were a good length. Watching the practice calls were very helpful as well. Highly recommend this course!

COVID-19 Contact Tracing course is truly complete in every sense. The way things are explained is remarkable. One learns about COVID-19, it's types, symptoms, duration of infection, methods of preventing from it, contact tracing, health communication and above all sympathy with the patient.

This course is well planned. Dr. Emily Gurly is good and the explanations are very clear and to the point. The quizzes make you remember all the points you might have missed in the lecture. Another aspect of the course I like is that it is for both visual and auditory learners and I am both.

Its very easy and simple to follow along. Everything is taught in detail step-by-step. I highly recommend it to everyone for the sake of being more aware about COVID-19 as there is so much misinformation out there on social media and other platforms. Thank you for doing this. You did great!

A lot of information, but easy to understand. Great overview of contact tracing with examples of good and bad ways to handle different situations. It's too bad this isn't mandatory for the general public. There are many people out there who would benefit from the information in this course!

As an undergraduate, I was able to learn and understand better the in-depth importance of contact tracing and its process. This course not only provides knowledge about the COVID-19 disease and contact tracing but also ways of effectively speaking with people who may or may not be infected.

I acquired a comprehensive and relevant perspective about the role and responsibilities of a contact tracer. Very appreciative of the work of Dr. Emily Gurley and others from John Hopkins to make this opportunity available to others who are not direct members of the public health community,

The course is outstanding, as I learned a lot from the sessions. The final exams were excellent, as not easy to answer. In this case, by learning well, we could understand better about covid19 contact tracing. The final exam helped a lot to scale up better skills in covid19 contact tracing.

The course was excellent. I had some problems with the concept of leading, probing, open and close conversation because I had a hard time understanding leading versus probing. Overall, everything was clear and direct. I will continue reviewing the course.
Thanks for your services!

Excellent course. Provides a solid background into the cause of the virus, how it spreads, and how contact tracing is a tool that public health officials can use to help reduce the spread of a the virus. Professor Gurley is a very good explainer, and the course moves at a reasonable pace.

Well done, well taught with range of users in mind... i wonder if a pre-test would be useful to see what folks know in advance, where to focus. Some info quite basic for those already in the thick of essential worker status.
Looking for opportunities is another thing...
thanks for the course!

Very informative. One thing to note, the vocal fry of the instructor lends to that she may not be as knowledgeable as she really is. It adds to the "valley girl" concept and makes her less believable. (I am a voice actor so I notice these things) But otherwise, the course is very valuable.

I loved the instructor. She was thorough and clear. The pace of the course was great. Learning about the COVID19 was wonderful. I am hoping to get a part time job as a contact tracer. If I don’t get the job, the knowledge itself is worth every minute I put into it. Thank you so very much.
