Learner Experience

On Data Privacy and Technology

"I would highly recommend the course to a colleague as it was a very interesting course. The way the course is designed helped me to interact with my peers and learn from them, expending my perspective about the subjects being discussed. I also feel that I learned more about privacy and data protection in ways that I would never have thought about it if it wasn't for the real-world cases."

Camilla de Carvalho
Corporate Paralegal and Governance Specialist, Concert Properties Ltd.

On Health Care Economics

“This is a very well-designed course for understanding the nuances of the US health care system economics. The videos and the guest talks were very helpful for understanding the real-world examples. The discussion surrounding the RAND experiment was very useful for understanding many key concepts. Overall a very good course.”


Krishna K. Chotneeru, MPH
Associate Director, Data Science and Statistics

On Data Science for Business

"This course definitely paid off. Upon successful completion of the course, I added this course to my LinkedIn and resume, and I can say that I have become more popular among HR. In addition, I gained confidence in myself as a specialist."

Jeanette Vinogradova

On Health Care Leadership Courses

"Harvard Online courses have been extremely well organized, concise, and flexible. The online courses allow for valuable insights from a diverse, international cohort due to its online, asynchronous model. Since being online increases the chance of engaging with a more diverse cohort (age, gender, career background, ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic, personal and work experiences), and assuming proper collaboration and discussion, it adds additional value to the subject being taught."


Jeanne Un
Dentist

On Health Care Strategy

"I already had some theoretical and practical knowledge of the topics covered in the course. However, the way the content is given throughout the course and the participation stimulated by the methodology, expanded my knowledge and my vision on the subject. Real cases are very good for understanding and learning the topics. A real feast."

Adelino de Melo Freire Jr.
Medical Director
Target Medicina de Precisão

On Open Innovation

"This course was worth my time and I thoroughly enjoyed communicating and learning with innovative thinkers from around the world. This was a great experience, and I am grateful my administration invested in me in this way to continue learning and growing so I could better do my job and help more humans."

Dr. Lindsey Keith-Vincent
