great course. learned so much about covid, but also on effective communication skills. These skills can be applied to other areas of life, which is a bonus. The videos and examples are clear and very easy to understand and implement in practice.

I thought this was an excellent course and would very much like to do this work, for which I believe I am well suited. Regardless of whether I get a job as a contact tracer or not, the time spent learning about this was well worth it. Thank you!

Although I originally that it was a lot of information to absolve in 6 hours it was really a very informative course. I learned so much about the virus and also a type of bedside manner in trying to engage in conversation with cases or contacts.

I enjoyed the training. The information was presented well and easy to understand. I learned facts about the virus that I did not previously know. I gained knowledge in how to try and relate to someone in these new and uncharted times. Thank you

Really informative course! I am very glad I took it and would recommend it to everyone since Covid-19 affects everyone. Literally everyone should take this course. We might not have so many morons calling it a hoax if they just learned about it.

This course was amazing, the lectures were so well done and easy to understand. Dr. Gurley is a phenomenal teacher and also has a very nice voice to listen to. I had a wonderful time learning and I am excited to move forward as a contact tracer.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. This list offers a few ways to delve deeper into Black history and support a more equitable future.

This course was very informative and easy to navigate. The materials were very clear and the resources included were very good. I appreciate this introduction to contact tracing and look forward to other offerings from Johns Hopkins University.

If you are new to online learning, this is a real confidence builder. It was super easy to follow, the user friendly design ( the fonts, the pace, the visuals and the audio) and pace made learning about a current and serious topic manageable.

I felt this course was very informative and easy to understand. The videos of example calls were a bit repetitive and the conversations were slower and longer than necessary. Overall, the quality and information in the course was exceptional.

I enjoyed taking this course which was extremely informative and very clear on what to look for. Good instructions on dealing with cases that may be difficult and reminders on tone of voice and manner in which to speak with concerned contacts.

Clear and interesting delivery of all the importance of Contract Tracing. I especially liked the section on effective communication and the components of building a rapport with a Case or Contact. Good amount of information and time required.

Excellent presentation of course material for all types of learning styles. The repetition of key concepts throughout the course was especially helpful. Also helpful was they way each module built upon information presented in previous modules.

I thought the content was explored and explained very broadly and simply at the same time. I am feeling accomplished and more knowledgeable. Thanks for the opportunity to grow and to go in a new direction. I am now part of the solution. 🙏

Contact tracing course was very knowledgeable and educating. I gained a more profound comprehension of COVID-19 and how the role of a contact tracer is utilized to educate those who do and have the possibility in getting infected with COVID-19.

Well written, walks you through in a logical fashion where you learn about the disease, the method of tracking, then a good number of scenarios that you may be faced with and how to work with the people you'll be connecting with over the phone.

Thanks for this valuable time and comprehensive course, I made announcement in my Twitter about how it's valuable and I post my Certificate enhancing others to spend their time in valuable online activities with sharing of their accomplishments

To be honest I've learned really a lot in the course of COVID-19 contact tracing. I never pictured getting an achievement via online learning, which I did and Iam very honored and happy to get a certificate for the first time through Coursera.

Really it's the most useful course I had joined about COVID-19. It gave me the feeling of attending a real course,I gained so a good deal of new information that I may need as a doctor in the future. Dr.Essam Ali Elmisherghi from Libya-Tripoli

I learned a lot about COVID-19 and am now able to separate fact from fiction. I know what signs to look for, isolation/quarantine time frames, symptomatic vs. asymptomatic. Thank you so very much for this course and the information provided.

This course was very educational and helpful. It has given me a better perspective on how to handles cases and contacts. This is a recommended course for everyone but most especially for those who are leading in the fight against the pandemic.

Excellent and the right learning in these times. The more people get educated and qualified in the area of COVID-19 the less the conspiracy theorists find a fertile ground. Everybody who wants to support their community should take the course.

Very informative. Dr Gurley presented in a way that made it very easy to follow and interesting. Enjoyed the information and how it was presented. Thinking I can do this, and help the community through these trying times.

Thank you!

This course is very informative. This course has enlightened me on how and when Coronavirus is contacted. The importance of isolating and quarantine, the need of a person isolating and appropriate communication skills learnt from this course

This was quite the educational course that has taught me how I can prevent not only myself from getting COVID-19, but also how I can prevent others from getting it through contact tracing. The review quizzes and videos were especially helpful.
