    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.

    I had a wonderful experience learning about contact tracing under Dr. Emily Gurley. The basics of Covid 19, identifying a case/contact, the way to handle complicated situations as a contact tracer, the way to communicate were simply phenomenal. Kudos to Dr. Emily Gurley and team.

    I am in the HR profession and took this course to plan for our company's return back to the office. Loved the material, the set up of the course, and the knowledge checks. I would also recommend to all of those who uncertain about COVID-19 and want to be aware and knowledgeable.

    Great course, I wish more people would take it. I feel Contract tracing is essential if we are going to beat this disease. Even if you don't end up working as a contact tracer, you will learn valuable information about how to protect yourself and your loved ones from Covid-19.

    I found this training to be very informative. I feel I learned more about this virus through this training then on TV or social media. I believe I would be a great Contact Tracer if given a chance. I would recommend this training to others that wanted to know more about COVID-19.

    This course is one of the best taught, organized and best assessed courses that I have ever done.

    I love the mini-formative assessments, which made the summative assessment more manageable.

    It is amazing how important social skills are for someone to be a successful contact tracer.

    I really got a real good glimpse on the ends and outs of contact tracing . A balance of social worker and investigator. And to be empathic to what a lot of people are going through. I'd like to thank the instructor she was really proficient and I could understand every exercise.

    This is a must-do course for all Contact tracers and those willing to volunteer in this period of crisis. The course has been articulated with relevant content, real-life video demonstrations, Q&A which makes the learner learn by living the experience of an actual contact tracer.

    Good overview of contact tracing with clear examples. The course provides good foundational knowledge and introduces some basic technology content. Specific technology tools and platforms will still need to be covered separately in trainings by local public health departments.

    Sorry that I'm just getting around to this review, but I am so grateful to Hopkins and Dr Gurley for this course. It really helped to quell my fears at the beginning of COVID. I am not applying for a job with my city and will bring this and my other lessons about COVID with me.
