This class was so enjoyable to take. I really enjoyed the illustrated lecture, case study, and learning about the various infectious diseases that exists. For someone that has no background in the sciences, I found it easy to follow, and very informative. I definitely recommend taking this course.

Nice course. The information about pathogenesis of disease is interesting. Giving example with person image and following up step by step drawings and scribbled notes make it a movie like flow.

Excelente curso, bastante completo, entrega datos específicos de cada patología presentada que son imprescindibles para su diagnóstico, por lo demás es un curso muy didáctico relatando las historias de infecciones reales y sobre todo el uso de TICS es lo que más destaca, así como también por supuesto la claridad de la instructora.

Great course even for non-professionals. Helped understand unknown reason health conditions when doctors struggled to make a diagnosis or even find any particular reason for current health conditions.

THE COURSE WAS V. INFORMATIVE.

IT PROVIDED AN INSIGHT INTO MANY INFECTIVE DISEASES.

WELL PRESENTED WITH SUPERB GRAPHICS

A good course of basic knowledge on infectious diseases.

free certificate should be given to top performer

This course contained a large amount of information on infectious diseases. I was a microbiology major in college, so much of this was familiar to me, yet I still learned a lot of new things, especially in the areas of virology and immunology. I think this would be a good class for someone considering medical school because it provides real life examples relating to the challenges in diagnosis. That said, I think the quizzes could have been a little harder. If they had been harder, I probably would have retained more knowledge. For example, I think that each section's quiz should have included at least 4 or 5 questions instead of just three. Nonetheless, this was still a very informative and worthwhile course.

Very interesting course with classical cases of infection. Only minus are the very short quizzes which could be more developed excercises to improve/deepen the learning.

Very good material with easy way of teaching ,thanks alot

But I hope the quizes were a little difficult to distinguishe between students

This course truly enabled me to expand my knowledge on infectious diseases, bacteria, and medicine as a whole. As a sophomore in high school, I have only taken preliminary biology at school, and next year I will be taking Biology and conducting my own research at the STEM magnet school that I attend. I feel that this course helped me prepare for the research that I will be conducting next year and broadened my knowledge and understanding of bacteria, infectious diseases, and medicine.

I really liked this course! The audio quality was good, the tempo of the speaker perfect. I loved the illustrations. They made it easier to follow the content. I also really liked the fact that all the infections were explained on patient examples. This made it more interesting and easier to understand and remember. The different patient outcomes (e.g. positive and negative outcomes) made the examples realistic. I also liked that the patients had different ethnicities.

Thans for professor provide this platform ,in this course,i learn a lot information about medical.At first ,i didn't know this website,i just want to enhance my bio skill,i tried to bought some books to read,but withought teacher lead you to study,it's hard to find point,especially in biology,it's looks like everything is important,but not.i think this platform is suitable for many people,i choose this level is medium,but it's still hard for me,and thanks for staff.

It was a very well organized, prepared course, where I was able to learn by a different method: studying by cases. This makes learning process more achievable and efective. Beside, the way it´s displayed makes easier to remember basic concepts and thus, understand more and more as you´re moving through the topic. The only thing I missed was to have bigger images so one is able to see better what is beeing explained.

Excellent course! The case study style of learning with cartooning while narrating was engaging and helped me to retain more information. The pathophysiology was so well explained. It was divided into small, manageable chunks that could be completed in about a 15 minute window. I will come back to this course to review specific diseases/pathogens as I encounter them in my work. Thank you for creating this course!

kinda good informative course where u learn stories of infection . It creates clincial awarness as well as social awarness .I nevered felt bored during modules and great work by animation department where it makes easy to understand and madam maya adam concept explaination quiet good and easily grap attention of learners . It will be good if it had a series of continuation of course (story of infection).

The use of story-telling increased my engagement and intrigue. I looked forward to completing the sections of the course and learning about various areas of Medicine such as Immunology, Microbiology and Epidemiology, especially because of the story-based structure of the lecture. The glossary of terms helped reinforce my learning and ensure I was prepared to answer questions about the topics in the course.

I am 76 years old. I entered Stanford in 1963 as a pre-med student, but I quickly changed to majoring in English because 1) my advisor was never available 2) there was tremendous harassment of women (it was before Title IX and 3) my father expect me to get an MRS, not an MD or other "male" degree so I got no support from home. This course has been mental candy for me. Thank you very much!

Very interesting and enjoyable course. It served as a refresher for all the medical microbiology knowledge. Stories shared are well written, easy to follow and beautifully used as a didactic material for introduction of some medical microbiology concepts. The only complaint, if I may add one, is that the audio quality could have been a little better. Other than that, it's almost perfect.

I really loved this course. It was a turning point for me in understanding microbiology and enriching my knowledge. Case based learning is really different and useful in establishing information.

But I have a problem getting the course certificate. There is a problem in payment process and i hope i get help to solve this problem.

I’m a student from the University of Punjab and wanted to learn about infection. Now I have completed the course, I can say it's a great course. This course will let me know about infection causes, its symptoms and treatment more effectively. It explains infection in the form of stories that help students grasp the main concept.

Very educational and understandable for a non science major. I am immunocompromised with Aspergillosis and asthma and taking classes such as this one to better understand my own body and be able to communicate with my doctor and read my test results. I will take more Stanford courses if available. Thank you educators.

The course is very helpful, especially for those who deny the existence of many communicable diseases that are controlled by health experts through health education ، health promotion and vaccination. I just wish the deadly disease rabies was in this course as well. Thanks to Coursera and Stanford University.

It was a great course for someone who has always had difficulties to concentrate in classes, like me. Interesting videos combining a consisted storyline and a wonderful narrating, make this course easy to understand and enjoyable. Just wish it had more challenging quizzes and an advanced course for future.

Iam so proud to take this coure Iam chemist and the course provide me more medical information and awareness about infection really I need stories of infection part 2 ,lecturer is amazing in explaining the material ,material is soo easy to understood I recommend this interesting course
