I really liked the course. I particularly appreciated the structured design. In my opinion, the content is presented in an understandable and illustrative way. The materials summarise the most important content briefly. The quiz questions helped me to repeat the content. My only negative point is the tight deadline for the two assignments after the end of the course. I would have liked to have had more time to analyse the content.

I found the course very clear and insightful! I have learnt a lot about psychosocial risk assessment and no previous knowledge was needed for me to understand the course content. I would definitely recommend it!
