The course is very informative and interactive. some questions popping up in between the lectures, really kept me alert. The REDcap tool is also very good and working on it felt like a accomplishment

Great course, regardless the role you have in the research; you do improve your data management skill set. A fantastic course for beginners who are trying to increase their productivity.

Great introduction to all the basics of data management- the foundation of clinical research. Really found this course to be helpful and to think of things usually taken for granted.

Absolutely love this course and have recommended to several clinical research colleagues. I am not a data manager but will use the knowledge gained when collaborating with others.

It's a good course in general, my only problem with it is the issue I experienced with an assignment were I was supposed to use redcap but it was locked for me to use so I spent 2 weeks getting the help I needed, because at first no one would pay attention and then the support people didn't know what to do.

Great course, good practical skills. But you may be stuck at the point of endlessly waiting for reviewing all your submitted assignments (can't finish the course and get the certificate without it).

Very clear and well structured course. But maybe it’s time to upgrade the REDCap version in the demo’s and training environment?

This course was very informational. I am new to the industry of clinical research and I have no hands on experience, but I wanted to learn as much as I could to get a better understanding of the industry. With this course I learned survey design through RedCap, data collection, data management and clinical data management. These skills I learned help me get my first job in clinical research. I really appreciate how thorough this course was. My only gripe is the course is peer reviewed. If you finish early you still have to wait for all your assignments to be graded, so it is really helpful to post on the message board for help and also help others, also some people may just want to get it over with and give you all 0's, that is what happened to me and I had to resubmit and got 100. So really ingest the material, take your time, really understand the content and you won't regret taking this course.

Data management is a crucial aspect of clinical research, as it ensures the quality, integrity and validity of the data collected and analyzed. A well-designed data management plan can help to avoid common pitfalls such as missing data, data entry errors, inconsistent data formats, and data security breaches. Writing a review of data management for clinical research can be challenging, as it requires a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the current practices, standards, tools and challenges in the field. A review should provide a clear and concise overview of the main topics, such as data collection methods, data storage and backup, data cleaning and validation, data analysis and reporting, data sharing and reuse, and ethical and legal issues. A review should also identify the gaps and limitations in the existing literature, and suggest directions for future research and improvement.

Basic but "excellent" course to start your work/career/study in this field.
It gave me alot of material and a good base for me who started from zero. But to a few of my peers, who had experience in CDM, it was an opportunity to learn a new system, which is REDcap.
After finishing this course I feel confident and can head further to enhance my knowledge in this field. The projects are very helpful for practical knowledge and the peers reviewing each others assignment makes it more interesting. Because we get the vision of how others worked over the project.
Thanks to the team of Vanderbilt University and Coursera to put the course in place and make it a free access.

Thank you Vanderbilt university team for providing this wonderful course on data management for clinical research. I really appreciate course instructors for their excellent contribution towards the topics design and explanation ,which were clear and up to the mark. I am so grateful to you for introducing me with your electronic data capturing system ,REDCap. I really loved working with REDCap, the tools in this were great for project design, survey development, De-identification of data, export and import of data, data quality checks etc. This course will definitely helpful for my future.

The course itself was well-paced and gave a good foundation of "clinical data management" as pertinent to my needs, which were, coming from a scientific & data analytics field, to get an overview of how data is handled in the actual clinical research setting, especially with terminology, flow from beginning to end, and the capability to design a data collection instrument, which in turn helped to understand some of the thinking that goes into the process BEFORE there is an analysis of the collected data (which is where my data analysis and review part usually starts.

I highly recommend this course if you have interest in data management and clinical research in general. Particularly so if you plan to use REDCap for any project (although the lessons are very much applicable on a principal level regarding data management and electronic data capture systems). The assignments and peer-grading worked surprisingly well in my opinion. The presenters on the course are obviously well knowledgeable in their field and that shines through in their very nice and informative presentations!
