Thank you John Hopkins for this amazing opportunity!

Course felt quick and not terrible challenging. Would have loved for the grades to be based more on assignments rather than quizzes.

I felt that the pace of the course was quite rushed particularly with so many of the graphic content being fact dense.

It was a good course. However, it is less interactive. It also contains less real life examples.

The course project didn't work. There was a problem with the data set downloaded from data.census.gov.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I am honestly disappointed by this course. The first week is only a very shallow introduction to the history of public health and epidemiology. The second week only teaches you basic middle school mathematics and in the last week, there are partly no video lectures because the content is too outdated and partly there are video lectures in a bad quality. Each video is not very long, but there is at least a minute only music intro and outro. No support by teachers with technical questions on QGIS, I watched a youtube tutorial in the end. Gave me an overview though, on what I still need to study to work in public health.

Lecturer cannot articulate well in English so it was hard for me to understand him and enough examples were not given for the different ratios
