I really enjoyed this course and I learned a lot. It was well organized and the material was well presented. I'd recommend to additions to the course. 1. Provide a brief discussion of how the various model structures (mechanistic, statistical, etc) intersect with the types of models (forecasting, inferential, etc). I found the presentation of these two different taxonomies without any discussion of how they related to each other to be confusing. 2. In the final section there were two occasions where the graphics presented would have benefited from more discussion. First was in the ebola discussion. It would have been useful to get more detail on what caused the projected incidence of ebola to be so much higher than the actual incidence. Second, I needed more explanation of the set of graphs showing the best population to target for vaccine to reduce covid-19 infections. I would have liked pointers to the actual lines in the graphs being referenced in the discussion. But all in all, a great course.

The course is just right for the moment. It is well structured and delivered to meet the objectives for both modelers and policy decision-makers in a concise manner. I want specially thank the facilitators and Coursera for this platform of educating the world, especially for people like me from low-resource settings. I will recommend it to anyone practicing in the public health space anywhere in the world.

Although my educational background is not in public health, I was able to learn a lot from taking this course because it was organised and simple to understand. I was able to understand the fundamentals of the infectious disease transmission model, model selection strategy, and other important factors. Thank you

This course required extreme focus to details and directions to successfully complete. I plan to review my notes and materials obtained. With the triple threat of Covid19, RSV and Flu, one needs to be well educated about infectious diseases and this course provides some necessary tools.

Great overview of infectious disease modeling key concepts, pitfalls, and their appropriate use for public health intervention. The course is effective in conveying concepts clearly and efficiently and the examples are relatable examples and illustrate the concepts nicely.

it was so functioning and well course i am delighted to work with you ,and realy i cant imagine being able to read and listen the same time thanks all the doctors and proffesors who helped me acheive this certificate

thanks once again ,MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Thanks to Coursera & John Hopkins University for this Course-

An excellent Review of infectious disease transmission models, how to assess the usefulness of a given model, and how these models inform policy decisions.

This course helps a lot and understands knowledge that I have never studied before and I am happy because the lecturers who teach are very clear and detailed so that my mind is open to learning the material

was a really great course, to the persons to work in epidemiology survillance, and the maker desisions, and reaserchers, compleat and excelent desing, congrats and il´l waiting for new courses

excelente forma para aprender a realizar modelos y facilitar la toma de decisiones. Agradecida por sus enseñanzas, que podré llevar acabo en mi área de trabajo. Muchas gracias.

As a risk communications practitoner, I highly recommend this refresher course to my colleagues. Thanks JHU and Coursera for making available to the public. My appreciation.

Recomendado, sobre todo para profesionales de salud que no son epidemiólogos pero forman parte de equipos que toman decisiones para implementar políticas de salud pública.

what a tremendous course most of knowledge we have learned from this. We request to all my dear colleagues to take this course for knowledge gaining about infection

I was able to learn the fundamentals of epidemiology in a systematic way. I am surprised myself that I was able to pass the final exam on the second attempt.

I truly liked taking this course. I really learned a lot about Infectious Disease Transmission Models and so much more. This course was very interesting.

I'm so estastic to see this course on my mail this morning and able to complete it today. The course is timely for me in my current facility.

Very interesting and didactic. Thank you very much to this training in Infectious Disease Transmission Models it is very useful.

As a contact tracer I really enjoyed learning about this subject matter and in particular how public health policy is shaped

Professor Emily Gurly does a great job outlining the key elements to understand models of infectious disease.

Excellent course for beginners in Health ..... Excellent Materials and explanations ..... Thanks to all....

it was clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend this course to the epidemiology and MPH students.

interesting class helped expand my knowledge and understanding of models and how to apply them in practice

Excelente estrategia de aprendizaje en relación a los modelos de transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas.

It was interesting down to the last piece of lecture, excellent explanations for the complex problems.

Thank You, Dr. Emily Hurley and others for this relevant information and policy making tool.

Thank You
