TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS OF PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE: THE PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH
Really informative course, grateful for the opportunity to do this course to expand my knowledge with respect to public health
the studying material is great and well displayed... the activities and quizzes were also well composed and quite interesting and useful
This was an excellent survey course in the basics of Public Health. It is not easy! Prof. Pinder and the rest of his crew are very articulate and clear. They make it look easy. It isn't!
Excellent course. Well structured, clear aims and objectives. Has enhanced my current public health knowledge and skills and will contribute to my ongoing MPH studies. Would recommend.
