About the Course

This course is all about infectious diseases. We’ve selected four disease areas — HIV, Malaria, Emerging Infectious Diseases (Ebola and Zika), and TB — and we will go through each in turn. We’ve selected these diseases because they span a range of different types of disease and allow us to look at important issues that relevance of other diseases too. We will look at each disease in the same way: we begin by looking at the aetiology and epidemiology of the diseases. We then show how data on this disease can be used to understand important trends and patterns. We then focus on the interventions that can be used to address that disease - typically spanning both prevention and treatment - and consider how policies have been developed to address the disease. We finish by reflecting on the whole topic area of the disease with an external expert....

There was some great information in here but many of the links are outdated, which affect your ability to do well on the tests. Many of the data tracker tools are no longer in use and as some of the test questions rely on this data, you're kind of scrambling around looking for information to help bridge the gap. I would recommend updating the links and questions so that it can improve success rates.

A lot of technical issues that could and should have been ironed out. From peer reviews with potential viruses and malicious religious/political propaganda, to poor transcripts of the lectures when speaker is non-native English speaking. The worst came from a quiz that depended on a WHO website- that is currently down and out, no idea for how long.

The site is down for maintenance almost always. Some of the questions are confusing, some of the answers are wrong, a good number of the links to datasets are broken and some of the information is outdated.
