I enjoyed learning from the walk-through scenarios with Contact Tracers. It's vitally important to show that sympathy towards others to help stop the spread. I really understood how I play a part in my own life to help mitigate the spread and educate those around me.

Easy to follow along. Broken up in the manageable sections. Speaker was clear and used simply language a non-medical professional can understand. The example call videos were helpful to demonstrate good and bad calls. Quizzes were brief and evaluated the key points.

Great course. However, It would be great if Johns Hopkins would have also outlined the symptoms for lack of oxygenation in people of color. Darker skinned people do not get bluish gray lips. It would be helpful to know the symptoms for all - not just white people.

The PowerPoint presentations werre very educational and easy to undersstand. Some of the final exam questions were a little tricky, so make sure you study before taking the test.
Thanks to John Hopkins University for making this educational experience available to me.

This was an excellent course. The material was communicated in a manner that retention was easier. I thought I would have to refer back to my notes, but the short assessments in between the sections made it possible to connect the information in an effective manner.

The content , syllabus was covered in a very good manner. The short quiz after videos is the thing which i liked the most . The non verbal expressions in the videos are very communicating about the situation. According , to me this is a 5 star coverage of the course.
