Excellent course. Learned plenty. Thank you for much for the team that put it together.

I truly appreciate you and the time you spent helping and assisting me in this operational research for humanitarian actions course during this five-week course period. Thank you very much for giving this interesting and practical course.

I have gained knowledges and skills from this course, particularly Research Ethics, Humanitarian practice, Qualitative and Quantitative research, Community engagement and Research Methods in humanitarian settings.

The contents, pacing and insights of the presenters in the MOOC were all great. Useful information. Recommend taking this course, if only to rephrase your existing knowledge in more formal terms.

Amazing and inspirational tutors. The quality of video production is great, which made the study comfortable and satisfying.

Good course with specific thematic topics covered, specifically in humanitarian settings. It was good to be part of this course and nicely covered the relevant topics by the field experts !

Es complejo y enredado, no lo recomiendo.

The course is very well-prepared. I really enjoyed it, appreciate how well it is made and learned a lot! The subjects, formats, amount of information, etc., were perfect. As feedback, I had issues with several of the evaluations, since some answer options were confusing or misleading in my opinion, not always referring to the information given in readings or video. Finally, there is a lot of focus in the materials on community involvement and involvement of local staff, but the main staff giving the course are all, with all due respect, white and European. As a Latin woman who is facing difficulties finding job opportunities in the humanitarian job market, this somehow spoke to me regarding diversity and participation in humanitarian and human rights organizations in Geneva, for example. Aside from this, great course. Thank you for putting it together with such dedication!

I am extremely grateful for the enriching experience I've had during this course. The instructors, with their extensive experience, have been instrumental in making the course both informative and engaging. The inclusion of fascinating case studies has provided practical insights that I will carry forward in my research endeavors. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the University of Geneva, ICRC, and Aga Khan University for not only offering this consolidated course but also for the invaluable financial aid that made it accessible. This opportunity has been a true stepping stone in my research journey.

A refreshing perspective for both new and experienced humanitarian practitioners especially for those inclined in doing researches in humanitarian context. Short and concise but educational. Congratulations to the team.

I would like to recommended for a hands-on experience or an output which can be peer reviewed by other participants and the training team, or perhaps provide a standard answer, with a bit caution/warning that it is not cast in stone answer but still depends on contextualization. Just a thought :)

Awesome experience.

The course was insightful and interesting, I was thrill to continue learning following the connected dots from module one to five. My interest in humanitarian operations has really increased and I resolve in making effort to completely swift my career path to join one of the worlds humanitarian organisations to fulfil my purpose of impacting lives positively.

Thank you so much to all the institutions and team who made this happen, it was a great learning journey and fantastic opportunity.

Recommend 10/10 if you're interested in humanitarians, or generally, if you want to research international issues (especially ones that will engage local communities)! I reviewed the research methods I had learned in class (I am studying Global Health) + listened to many stories told by the online professors. Very interesting! A lot of methods and tools are provided and I hope to have the opportunity to practice more in real scenarios!

复习了自己课上也有学的 research methods + 听线上教授讲了很多故事。很有意思！推荐！提供了很多方法希望有机会多去实践～

El curso brinda muchas herramientas para que como investigadores podamos aplicar nuestros conocimientos en el campo humanitario, además, de que el curso está enfocado a personas que no necesariamente son investigadoras. En cualquiera de los aspectos, el curso es bastante útil y estoy segura de que me ayudará en un futuro. Por otro lado, poder conocer experiencias tanto positivas como negativas en diversas partes del mundo ayuda a tener una mejor comprensión de cada uno de los temas que se abordan.

An essential course for anyone involved in research or wanting to improve their research capabilities. The focus on humanitarian issues and ethics is fantastic and feels like it should always be a pillar of research in any case. The information is presented well, supported with great materials, people, case studies, and more, and the course is hard enough that you need to truly pay attention and try hard. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the Operational Research for Humanitarians course as it gives me more in-depth knowledge regarding Humanitarian intervention. The modules are well defined and accompanied with practical details and evidence from existing contexts within the humanitarian sphere.

In conclusion, it completes my latest Humanitarian Program Management degree.

Thank you for the fluidity outlined in such modules.

Excellent, well-organized, and accessible course. I found it very thorough with wonderful supportive documentation, easy to understand yet covered complex topics. This course struck the right balance of emphasizing practice and theory based on real world examples from experienced practitioners and researchers. Thank you for this excellent course!

Very complete and insightful, this course helped me to better understand how to conduct research in the humanitarian sector, since the planning through the dissemination of the study, always pointing out its main challenges and relevant tips along the way. I've learnt so much! Thank you all.

Excellent course, skillfully packed with a lot of theory, interesting practical assignments and additional reading. Helped me improve on my understanding of research development . Would like to express my gratitude towards the great team of researchers and practitioners behind this course.

I really enjoyed the course as the reading material was very helpful towards enhancing my understanding of the benefits of research in humanitarian sector and the importance of evidence. I would definitely recommend anyone interested in evidence based research to take up the course.

An enriching, complete overview of the different steps to follow, and the obstacles to avoid during the research process in the humanitarian sector. And brilliant speakers from very different backgrounds! Thank you so much to the entire team for that insightful, exciting MOOC.

The most challenging and fascinating course I have ever enrolled. It does demand a lot of hard-work, time and commitment. I really enjoy the context-centre approach and the last modules that including ethical thinking and translating research into practice

Professors,

First of all I must thank you all, professors ,University of Geneva and coursera.

Excellent program.

I gain depth knowledge from the expertise of the current world in the field of the subject.

Thank you very much.

This is the best course that I have done so far. Although it is tailored for humanitarian settings, the research issues discussed are very relevant for other settings. The talks are interesting and not too long.

very good well done course with useful condensed knowledge ,i hope if you can expand it more to be as an specialization course ,not just a course.. i thank you very much for the useful knowledge i have get here

This course was great - gave varied methods of delivery for learning, and covered the value of research, research methods, ethics, knowledge translation and why research in humanitarian settings is different.

Excellent, very interesting course, very professional speakers reflecting experience and best practice of very -well known academic institutions and international organizations! Thank you very much!
