Very informative and a great introduction for graduate students. I hope the skills and knowledge I have learned in the course can help me succeed in writing my own systematic review.

Incredible course! You learned a lot from these amazing professors. If you take this course you will know how to do a high quality systematic review and even a meta analysis and publish them.

This course gives you a perfect overview at introductory level. The course units and time spend on different aspects are balanced, the material used is supportive, and I enjoyed the way the teaching staff engaged in this course. A next interesting step could be how to deal with all the new developments in science (such as open access, FAIR procedures, etc) and their meaning with regards to the quality of reviews.

This course helps to learn basics about systematic review and meta-analysis. I recommend this course to the beginners, who wants to do systematic review in future.

Thank you John Hopkins!

This is a really nice detailed course with tons of examples, if you can afford, please pay them or purchase of the course instead of auditing. I hope I will be able to purchase it.

the course lacks the experimental part,after completing the course I can't do ca systematic review and meta-analysis on my own. Also thec ourse didn't emphasize on the how to quality assessment for included studies or how to actually get all the studies, it only gives you framework from the cochrane handbook and you should do everything on your own. So I would recommend that others should know how to do systematic review and then take this course this way they will understand it.

The courses are great but some of them requires prior general understanding. Therefore, as a beginner it's a bit hard for me to get the whole picture.

The slides about PubMed aren't uptodate, the design of the website and some functionalities have changed which could be confusing for students.

A good course that lacked practical information on performing a meta-analysis.

The audio quality of a lot of the lectures are quite bad.

A number of the slides seem to be un-organised at times, with repeating information, making them confusing.

While all the information seems to be presented, it feels like it could be done better with more time spent preparing and recording the videos.

Asking me to pay for a course you have listed as free is nuts. Why can't I move to the next without upgrading to submit?
