I so much enjoyed the course. A big thank to the pilot of this Essentials of global health.
I have learnt greatly well and ready to exploits more knowledge in future and put already acquired knowledge to work.
There are rooms for improvement to end/reduce global health challenges.
I strongly hope for more prospects for African countries and South Asia to overcome their rigorous health issues.
Global health need more attention for effectiveness hand of management and control towards achieving the world dreams

Excellent course! Essentials of Global Health provides a comprehensive overview on the key topics in global health. It works well as an introductory course for those looking to learn about global health and public health. Professor Skolnik is clearly an expert in global health matters and has done very well in teaching this course. I would advise anyone interested in public health to take this course.

THis was indeed a remarkable course.I have learnet to view and understand that the health of one country and region is interlinked with the rest of the world.
Most important lesson is that the approaches to sustainable good health must encompass global partnerships.
I am glad that I picked the course as one of my electives as it has enhanced my interest in working in this important ield.

I really liked it a lot, I didn't know I would be interested in the whole Global Health bizz. yet I was drown to it. I couldn't stop studying, I might pursue another career. I think as a human you are obligated to take care of other people. If I can make an impact like this, I would. So thank you for this opportunity, I am ever so grateful that thanks to you I have found more knowledge.

I cannot praise this course too highly - it is simply superb. The lecturer is brilliant - very knowledgeable, and someone who puts the material across with great clarity and enthusiasm. The 10 weeks are well arranged and providing one works hard, you come away feeling quite an expert on the subject. I have enrolled in quite a few MOOCs over recent years, but this is by far the best.

El curso es muy completo, muy interesante cada una de las clases y la manera en la que está organizado es simplemente maravillosa. No me agradó mucho fue el hecho de que solamente hayan cuestionarios y no otro tipo de actividades y los foros de debate a veces no tienen mucha participación de los otros estudiantes. Sin embargo; he disfrutado mucho este curso.

Overall a good course with a very broad coverage of many different topics. However, there were certain things I did not like, such as the bad quizzes (when there was an answer "all of the above" it is almost always the correct one and I didnt even had to read the question.) and the faked conversations between the professor and the students. Not a fan of it.

This course is quite an interesting one, and the instructor did a great job with the way the modules are presented. I fancied the live-class feel, and I will recommend this course to anyone seeking knowledge and good footing on the foundation of global health. I also appreciate how the course can also help you live better as an individual. Good one.

I wish to especially thank the professor. He explained a lot of difficult concepts well and I was enthused to continue and finish this course because of him. This course gave an excellent overview of the salient points pertinent to global health and this serves as a great primer to topic.

Mr.Skolnik kept the course very engaging and light while still being able to deliver key details. The setting in which other students are included in the online course immerses the viewer, making the transition from a regular traditional classroom to an online course as very easy.
