    It's very helpful to me even though I am not a contact tracer. It's very informative because it deepens my knowledge about this COVID-19 and the things that should be done when one is being infected.

    Contact tracing is a standard public health tool used for many decades to control the spread of many different infectious diseases and contact tracer cannot ask people to isolate or quarantine because this violates the idea of justice.

    Es un curso que todos deberíamos hacer porque nos educa mucho sobre este nuevo virus, especialmente la forma en que podemos evitar contagiar a otros y cómo responder ante ciertos síntomas que requieran o no atención médica prioritaria.

    Program materials were precise, spot on, clear, and easy to understand. Dr. Gurley presentation skills are top notch. My only issue is gaining clarification as to whether any CEU credits have been assigned for completion of the course.

    This is the first college course I've ever taken and it was very easy to follow. By the end, I felt confident that I had the skills to be a contact tracer, though I'm not qualified. It also inspired me to look for more courses to take!

    I enjoyed the course very much. Although the title seems somewhat misleading, because the course does not only teach the learner about CoViD-19 contact tracing, but also about CoViD-19, a brief history, and its more scientific details.

    The course was excellent but there were a couple of questions that seemed confusing to me. I'm sorry I can't remember which ones. Additionally, on the exam, the use of their when you were referring to one individual was also confusing.

    it is easy to follow and the presentation is great. but the pace of the course is too slow so I have to make it 1.25x to 1.5x faster for every video, even though I am not excellent in English listening. but overall this course is great

    This course does a great job on covering information on how to stop the spread of covid-19 to give your cases and contacts. So you can inform your people and provide the right information needed for help during isolation or quarantine.

    This is a great course. There is a lot of detail and a wide variety of subject matter to master. But as a beginning course it gives a broad range of basic principles needed to be a successful contact tracer - specifically for COVID-19.

    Thank you for providing this to everyone. It's something we all should do, if nothing more, it helps you understand this better and the ALL steps that contact tracing entails. Helps you understand why you need to follow protocols!
