TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE: THE PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH
Lecturers did a great job in their delivery and the course was structured really well. Precise and interesting throughout.
Great Teachers. Interesting projects and very interesting additional materials for reading or watching are part of the course.
the studying material is great and well displayed... the activities and quizzes were also well composed and quite interesting and useful
it's straight to the point, very tasking in a good way. but the spoken English of the teachers do not correlate with the written English.
