Here are some student comments about this course from last summer:
“Great information that’s very applicable and relevant”
“I really enjoyed this course and thought it was well paced for a summer course. I learned a lot in a short amount of time without being overly stressed. I thought the use of class time, half lecture and half group work, was very effective. I also liked how we were building the PowerPoint and our final presentation each day.”
“You don’t need a lot of prior knowledge in ARV or HIV for this course, which I really liked.”
“Invaluable and essential as I want to work in addressing the global HIV pandemic.”
