    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.

    This was very well done. Very easy to follow along and understand and I liked the short quizzes throughout to help out with the larger assessment at the end. I felt more confident going into the end assessment knowing I had done the quizzes. Thank you.

    The course was very informative, especially in the area of communication and the importance of human connection, even if it is over the phone. People are more likely to to make the healthy and responsible decision if they now there is support and help.

    Very informative and useful, even for those who may never use the skills acquired. Be careful when clicking on the quizzes' fields, there seems to be some displacement or lag and you may click accidentally on an active field while attempting to scroll!

    Very easy to understand and complete. It was easier for me to sit down and finish everything in one day than splitting the work within a week in my opinion, but everyone has a different schedule and learning technique so it's okay to do other methods.

    This cleared up so much that the popular press had confused me about. I am a Texas Physician Emeritus, but never got much training in Public Health. I feel I am now able to promote knowledge in my community, and responsibly answer friends questions.

    Excellent training tool that helps those who want to do more during the pandemic (or feel a need to do more to help) as contact tracers understand the importance of their role and how they can make a difference in our coordinated response to COVID-19.

    Excellent introduction to contact tracing. I learned exactly what I hoped I would from this basic course. I hope to apply as a contact tracer in my state with what I have learned. The course is also a great review of interviewing and listening skills.
