A very informational course. Gives a good overview of the concept. Only if they add recent developments and updates on infectious diseases like Zika and Ebola, it would be great.

Great course, really informative. Only downside is some of the data is now outdated, however still relevant and allows for personal research into how health has changed/not changed since.

Very informative for someone not having any previous knowledge in the field. Some lectures are a bit old, but it does not affect the quality of the course.
