Answers to this question:

8

The course was great and I enjoyed it a lot.

The course was excellent in making me understand epidemiological research concepts considerably better!

the lectures and discusions, the advance reading for chapters were helpful

The case-control and cohort lessons.

I think the whole course has been excellent! A big eloge to Anna Wikman for being extremely structured and clear in her communication.

The examination was good.

The final was quite challenging and stimulating.

Anna Wikmans way of organizing the course hav been outstanding. She is extremely well strutured and effecient. Godd job Anna!
