In Our Learners' Words
Muthoni K.
Graduate Student
The modules were very thorough, easy to follow, and understand.
Win K.
Lecturer and Consultant Physician
The audio-visual presentation is most suited for me because it allowed me to focus more on the module content, and the questions posed during the presentation refreshed and reflected what I had learned before the module ended.
Althea S.
PhD Student
The modules about the laws that explain protected populations were very informative. I also appreciated the section on safeguards put in place to protect subjects participating in studies.
Gowramma I.P.

The detailed content and clarity, with examples and case studies, are what I liked best. The ability to switch between reading and A/V modes when required was also useful.
