    Good course, but too fundemental for students with relavent educational background like me. Might be a good choice for those who has little experience of clincial trials.

    Great summary of CTs! Shame that it is only from 2013 and does not reflect current approaches to management of clinical trials, would be worth to update this course.

    Pitched at the right level as an introductory course. Having some exposure to clinical trials helps complete in a timely manner, but there's still a lot to learn
