Thankyou so much Dr. David Boyd to be our such great mentor. I have learnt about global health issues in a much much better way. TYSM. And i hope this will help me further in my studies too.
This was one of the best courses I have come across so far. The majority of the appreciation belongs to the instructor-Dr Boyde. He was natural, clear, and creative in keeping the course interesting.
Incredibly informative course, the reading material is brief and concise and the videos are super informative. The instructor is great! And has the cutest dog. 10/10 I've genuinly learned a lot.
