measures of association
The module on measures of association was very clear and simple.
The information on measures of association was somewhat confusing.
This course gave me great understanding of measures of association and statistic behind the Public Health Good Buenas nochesUn curso excelente, en el momento soy profesor de epidemiología de pregrado de medicina y los conocimientos son de un inmenso valor para mi asignatura.
The section about 'Measures of association' was specially good : Very challenging yet informative!
In the earlier weeks terminology was introduced that were unexplained (the measures of association) even though it was stated in the lecture that these were "previously covered".
Three suggestions of improvements:1) Please share the slides separately as a course companion.2) The quizzes requires some improvement and why don’t provide explanations for some of the answers - specially those with multiple choices to get the full point on the question3) Some More concrete examples and more exercises (homework) would be extremely useful in the chapter of understanding measures of disease frequency and Measures of association.
