    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.

    A very paced and well-written interactive course. I appreciated the audio, visual, and textual components, as well as the frequent mini-quizzes along the way. I got a 95.75% on the final assessment! I feel way more informed, forearmed, and prepared to be of service to my community!

    This was a convenient, well-paced online course that was easy to follow! The feedback for the assignments between each video made it clear what concepts I might not have understood, and subsequently made it much easier for me to pass the final exam, on the first try, after review!

    I like to commend the maker of this course because it is very timely and relevant. It is good thing to know that if we are all knowledgeable and understood the fundamental of COVID 19 then we can make a good start to prevent the spread of the virus. Thank you for this opportunity.

    This is one of the best teaching methodology for the course modules. Everything is clearly explained and also there are mock cases, where the contact tracer speaks live with the person inquiring more about the symptoms & other related things. Very insightful and meaningful course.

    This course gave me a clear, concise approach to contact tracing. It also gave me guidance on working with cases and contacts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, with an emphasis on active listening and an empathetic approach to persuade cases and contacts to isolate or quarantine.

    I found this short course very informative and easy to understand. Understanding how to calculate incubation and infectious periods are useful for anyone. The latter part are just useful tools for communication in general. I think it will be useful in areas outside of contact trac

    This course is the perfect first step in understanding how COVID-19 is spread and affects populations. This course also provides a basic understanding and reinforcement of how to interact with folks who may be affected in one way or another by COVID-19. This course is entry-level.

    I appreciate your course detail with a pile of updated information and how to trace a contact and case. It is very useful for me, as a teacher, to implement it in school for the upcoming educational year. 'Questions' and 'Issues' mentioned in the course are tangible and practical.

    As a public health professional who is not working directly with COVID-19 relief efforts, this course provided me with enough information to feel confident when colleagues ask questions I feel I should know. I definitely recommend this course to other Public Health professionals.

    Very useful information. Easy to understand. I wish Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia would take it. And the Georgia Dept. of Corrections might have prevented 69 deaths and we don't know how many cases in our prisons. And the White House? Please tell them about contact tracing. ASAP

    This was a very informative course. I would recommend everyone to take it just to education themselves on how the disease is transmitted, where it started from and how to better protect themselves and others from coming in contact with this disease. Thank you for enlightening me.

    I have a new respect for the Health Department and contact tracers. While I knew much of the material, there were several pieces I was not aware of. This course has also increased my level of respect for avoiding possible exposure by the information regarding reproductive number.
