I am a school nurse and thought this would be helpful for when in person session begins. I was thoroughly impressed and found the instruction extremely clear and concise. Valuable lessons for implementing contact tracing practices for my school and community. I’m so grateful that this was free to access. Thank you. Stay safe and be well!

I want to thank everyone involved who put this course into motion. I has truly been informative and I plan to put those practices in place. I believe my background in criminal Justice (worked closed 30 yrs in probation before retiring) make me quite familiar with dealing with the full range of society and dealing in confidential matters.

As a public school teacher for more than 20 years, I planned a lot of class courses and content, lessons and assessments. I'd have been very pleased to have produced a course with the qualities I have seen in this course! Highly informative, easy to understand, and a great introduction to the concept of contact tracing. Thanks very much!

The teaching methodology was extremely effective. Modules were appropriately designed in terms of length, amount of material and clarity. The use of the videos, questionnaires conveyed the science and the social aspects of how we need to respond to public health crises without fear, with compassion and with strong methodical measures.

I am personally excited about this course having successfully been part of the frontline mobile screening team for Covid19 for the government of my state, this course to me is an eye opener into the theoretical knowledge about the Covid19 and contact tracing and I must commend the Johns Hopkins University for putting this together

Cheers

The course outline and content were congruent. The material was presented in a close enough fashion for me to grasp all the concepts. As a Nurse, I have worked in Corrections, Private Practice and Geriatrics, never with Public Health/Epidemiology. I feel confident in accepting a position as Contact Tracer, having completed the course.

Very helpful and very great course! I learned a lot of very valuable information on how to become a good COVID-19 contact tracer as well as valuable insight into the many complexities of the disease. Highly recommend this course for anyone who may be interested in becoming a contact tracer or just want to learn more about the disease.

It is a very informative course and and II gained a lot of information and actual facts about corona virus.The course is easy to comprehend and I feel I have learned how to talk to the cases and contacts with empathy and understanding.The concepts were taught in a easy way and everything was made clear by Dr. Emily Hurley and her team.

Thank you for this comprehensive, easy to follow and thought-provoking course to learn how to be a contact tracer for the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there are local requirements and programs/software/apps for training, this course is an excellent foundation to have for any contact tracing assignment, be it volunteer or paid. Thank you.

The course was easy to understand, gave specific examples to further boos understanding and clearly outlines the requirements for contact tracing. I learned about communication techniques, the importance of establishing rapport, the importance of understanding quarantine vs isolation and the requirements for each. I enjoyed the learning

This is an extremely good course to introduce you to the field of becoming a contract tracer. However, unlike what I have expected, the course did not cover any details of the mechanics behind the technology used for contract tracing. It's based on the user end interferences. Overall the course is easy to understand and well organised.

The course was comprehensive, and interesting. It dealt with very specific, medical details of the virus, as well as some social and emotional issues. It has made me feel better prepared to understand the pandemic, and how contract tracing can be used to help solve problems both on an individual level, as well for society as a whole.

The course was very informative, very adaptable to the current situation and can be a learning reference for future lectures. A good source of data as reference and provides a systematic process of learning. Great course. Personally I was satisfied and excited to try another course on this platform after attending this online course.

This course was very informative with all the information that I Just wish others would take action to Help stop the spread of the virus. This allows me to educate my family and friends more and to help my community and surround areas as well. Glad to have enjoyed the information to help in this Pandemic state that were in currently.

I think this was a well designed and presented course. I think the assessments were also well done. one thing I would say is that several statements were presented as facts which I think are still being researched for more insight or documented proof. I think if something is not absolutely true, it needs to be stated indicating that.

I found the class to be very informative. Several of the introductory topics were items I knew from the amount of attention this virus has received in the media. Other topics were similar to ones I had encountered in my former profession (COVID-19 related job loss). Overall, this class was definitely something I am glad I completed.

easy to navigate and can always go back to the topic where I left off; what impressed me the most is the feature that I am able to highlight the note and I can always make notations on the highlighted phrases or sentences and I can always review it whenever I want. the speaker also is very good and made the topics easy to understand.

Loved this course. Easy for a beginner and a good source of information for anyone whether or not they want to do contact tracing as a job or not! Glad I took the time to do it! Thank you for offering it and thank you to the instructor for being clear to understand, emphasizing and reiterating important things and being very clear!

Very nice, concise course structure and presentation. The pace was excellent and the information was cogent and not overwhelming. The one suggestion I would make would be to consider different contact tracing actors in the videos. They were less than convincing and did not enhance my learning of the skill that they were demonstrating.

Wonderful course! Well organized and clearly explained. Thank you!!

Question 16 on the assessment, about releasing a patient from isolation, does not reflect current CDC standards of 10 days isolation and 24 hrs. without fever/improving symptoms. I believe the answer the answer sheet wanted was still going by the 72 hrs. well protocol.

Professor was very informative in teaching this course. I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot about contact tracing. I am more informed about Covid 19 that I now could actually have an informative dialogue with someone who might need clarification on infectious time, isolation time and quarantine time. I just had fun. Thanks. Mario

The was very interesting. I learned a lot and wish that more people would take it because the information is really empowering and gives one a greater sense of control over COVID-19 by understanding what it is exactly, how it spreads, and how to prevent the spread. The active listening and communication components were an added bonus.

I'm happy to have the opportunity to be involved with this fantastic knowledge; this is a very new and actual need for information and mainly because this contains much more than the COVID - 19 disease and SARS Coronavirus Two. And all the other topics are handy in all the areas that I wanted to put into practice. Thank you very much,

I found this course highly effective and informative for my needs as a school nurse with significant responsibilities as reopening is being planned. It has not been clear what our roles will be with respect to contact tracing but this course will make me better informed and able to interface with contact tracers should the need arise.

Thinking of all the incredible information on COVID-19, this mini course has offered to me, and what a tremendous job the CONTACT TRACER does, blowes my mind. Congratulations to the Doctor who took me on an amazing journey and I hope I will be chosen to help as much as I can, with my time, and knowledge this Course gave me. Thank you!
