Very insightful and engaging. I would recommend this course to those of whom are considering further education in the area of radiation-derived healthcare.

The course content and duration is well framed. The lectures are very lucid and quiet interesting. Feel happy to be certified by the University of Sydney.

I am a Field Imaging Service Engineer and I face daily questions from my customers and my family regarding the topic. With this course I had refreshment of my knowledge plus a new knowledge, which both combined gave me a better understanding of radiation for my daily life and for my field of work. I am glad to have been taken this course.

I really loved this course, though as a Nuclear Engineering student I was pretty familiar with some of the terms, I actually learned a lot. Very clear and beautiful teaching of different concepts and misconceptions. Thank you.

The curriculum neglected the topic of low frequency exposures (ELF) and its effect on circadian and immunological outcomes, which can indirectly contribute to adverse effects and possibly cancer.

A very engaging & thought-provoking course providing the insights from atomic structure to Electromagnetic Radiations, how they interact with matter and associated health effects. The course is quite helpful in particular to clear many myths related to the impact of radiation on the human body, while also explaining working of many medical imaging & examination techniques (like MRI, PET, etc.) Overall, a well-presented content in a lucid & entertaining manner, aptly complemented by noteworthy graphics & videos. Thanks to all instructors and contributors. I'd say the course is simple to follow and worthy of binge-watching - One can finish sooner than prescribed duration (I was able to complete it in a single day :)).

and one can finish earlier than prescribed duration (I was able to complete the full course in a single day - like )

I learned a fundamental basis that we often lack during more specific studies. Extremely useful course that should be offered to all people, especially those in the health field.

The course content is highly useful for a better understanding of the radiations ..and course delivering method is superb!!!!

This was a good review of the basic physics and science of radiation. It contained some excellent details on medical imaging and the identification of types of imaging as well the risks, uses and justifications for each. Not all lectures were ideal or well organized but were mostly great for entry level or for health care practitioners not dealing directly with medical imaging and radiation therapy or nuclear medicine.

Its very informative. The way with which people think about radiation would be changed. Thankyou for this amazing course.

The course was really good and an informational also.Seriously I got help from it.Thank You.

interesting, thorough review of radiation, what it is, what it does, what we use it for and how it affects us.

I recently had the opportunity to take a course on Life, Health, and Radiation Physics, and I must say that it was an incredibly enlightening and worthwhile experience. The course provided a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and applications of radiation physics in relation to life and health sciences.

The course began with a solid foundation in the basic concepts of radiation physics, covering topics such as radiation types, interactions with matter, and radiation measurement techniques. The instructor did an excellent job of presenting the material in a clear and concise manner, making complex concepts accessible to students with varying levels of background knowledge. Additionally, the use of real-life examples and case studies helped to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications.

One of the highlights of the course was the emphasis on the biological effects of radiation. We delved into the mechanisms through which radiation interacts with living tissues, the potential health risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation, and the principles and practices of radiation protection. This part of the course was particularly valuable, as it provided a thorough understanding of the risks and safety measures involved in various radiation-related fields, such as medical imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy.

Another aspect of the course that I found highly beneficial was the inclusion of current research and advancements in the field. The instructor frequently shared recent studies and breakthroughs, allowing us to stay up-to-date with the latest developments. This not only added a dynamic and relevant dimension to the course but also fostered a sense of excitement and curiosity among the students.

Furthermore, the course incorporated hands-on laboratory sessions and practical exercises, which provided an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom. These activities allowed us to familiarize ourselves with radiation measurement devices, dosimetry techniques, and radiation shielding practices. The practical component of the course helped solidify our understanding and develop practical skills that will be valuable in future endeavors.

The instructor's passion for the subject was evident throughout the course. They were highly knowledgeable, approachable, and attentive to students' questions and concerns. They encouraged class participation and facilitated engaging discussions, creating a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

In terms of improvements, I believe that incorporating more interactive elements, such as group projects or discussions, could further enhance the overall learning experience. Additionally, providing more opportunities for students to engage with professionals in the field, such as guest lectures or site visits, could offer valuable insights into real-world applications of radiation physics in the context of life and health sciences.

In conclusion, the Life, Health, and Radiation Physics course was an exceptional learning experience that equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of radiation physics and its applications in the life and health sciences. The course content was well-structured, the instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, and the practical components provided valuable hands-on experience. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the principles and implications of radiation physics in the context of life and health.

Fantastic course on radiation, going through each section of the EM spectrum and discussing the history, properties, and application of each type of wave. Mechanical waves and nuclear decay (alpha+beta) are also discussed. At the end nuclear medicine and radiation therapy are discussed, how they work and the risks associated with each. The presented is clear and engaging, and animations are used throughout the course, and the videos are short, detailed, and to the point. Although a lot of physics is discussed, there is no math, the approach is completely conceptual though I would recommend you know basic chemistry (electrons orbiting around a nucleus) and what energy and electric/magnetic fields are before starting. I came into this course to obtain more details on each part of the EM spectrum which is glossed over is most classes, but I came away with a good overview of their use in medicine, and knowledge that may potentially save my life. Absolutely fantastic course.

This course is great. I learn more details in electromagnetic radiation, particulate radiation, radiation protection, non ionising radiation tools such as USG and MRI. Highly recommended for medical physicist to gain knowledge about radiation in medical purposed like nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, medical imaging. Thank you for lecturer can explain clearly in every module. I wait for another course from University of Sydney about medical physics.

It is an extraordinary course, thank you very much for the teachings you give. It is great everything that can be learned and understood thanks to your classes. I recommend it with my eyes closed, for all those people who want to enter the world of radiations and really know the damage they can generate, but above all the benefit they have for humanity. Thank you once again, greetings.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to do this certificate,it has been worth my time infact I have gotten more than I expected.

The course content gave me a deeper understanding of the electromagnetic radiation and particulate radiation in relation to our day to day interact with them

Thank you so much to lecturers that took me through the course.

Highly Contemporary & Interesting Subject, and for sure, that would not only enhance anyone's Knowledge but also make him/her, aware of the latest Climate Crisis. Moreover, such lesson has been taught by extremely Sound & Competent Professor/s as well.

Amazing experience learning about radiation! I loved how this course is organized and planed out. I never thought I'd go through that much talk about cancer, and have it be scientifically liberating knowing what we reached in this day and age. Thank you for truly showing us the light!

This course is amazing! Had to take a quick second to THANK YOU to Professor Mark McEntee for such a well-designed, in depth course. There's a lot of misconception about radiation, and this course successfully gives me a holistic view and a new insight.
