I liked the course very much. It gives a general introduction about basic concepts and terminology of public and global health and it goes on to talk about specific up-to-date problems and diseases. A very well- rounded course with a very good professor. I loved the course and the content!

I wish to especially thank the professor. He explained a lot of difficult concepts well and I was enthused to continue and finish this course because of him. This course gave an excellent overview of the salient points pertinent to global health and this serves as a great primer to topic.

Mr.Skolnik kept the course very engaging and light while still being able to deliver key details. The setting in which other students are included in the online course immerses the viewer, making the transition from a regular traditional classroom to an online course as very easy.

I took this course out of curiosity but the knowledge I have gained is so enormous. The readings, although many help you appreciate the topics in more detail and understand what was explained in the lectures. I really appreciate the organization of this MOOC and its depth.

learned a lot about global health but it seems a lot of these concepts and trends are a no-brainer. Of course, there is a huge problem with obesity globally, but it doesn't state the obvious about how to fix the problem i.e. getting more exercise, nutrition etc.

One of the best courses I have ever taken. I'm doing MPH at Essex University and Richard Skonlik's "Global Health 101" is the essential reading throughout the first module. This course is very supportive, relevant and essential for health care specialists.

This course needs more, more information, I didn't learn much, a lot of the things that are explained here are very common knowledge
It will look good on the cv, but be much better structured and it could be more interesting

Even after having worked for years with global health, this was a valuable course. It's well structured, presents important databases and publications and I wish I had done it much earlier. Inspiring and clear. Thank you!

Altough the Course was a bit to fundamental for me and my Knowledge, I think it was perfectly outlaid. Everything worked so well - the videos, the reading material, the communication. Thank you very much for that insight.
