The course Health in complex humanitarian emergencies addresses different aspects of the recovery aspects of disaster-affected communities. By enrolling myself in this course I learned how disaster recovery and response activities are coordinated and evaluated. I highly recommend this course to humanitarian aid workers and other non-humanitarian individuals to take it because we are not certain when disaster will happen and our generous help will be needed to assist the response activity at any time.

Thank you very much for this compact course! I had no previous knowledge in complex humanitarian emergencies and the course gave me the opportunity to grasp the main ideas and also motivated me to search in greater depth individually. I would however prefer to be provided with more recent information about ongoing emergencies as well as references to current research outcomes.

This is a fantastic course to provide an introductory (but detailed) insight into complex humanitarian emergencies. Only complaint is that several of the resources in the readings section are now well and truly outdated.

Overall, a great review, and a great introduction to things I didn't previously know (specifically the info re: logistics management). There were some typos in the transcript, but otherwise well organized and delivered.

The context of the course is greatly interesting. Only needs a bit improvement by adding more videos rather or visual dynamics to make it more interactive.
