Regression Models as a Tool in Medical Research - Evaluations of prior courses

"During the course period, although Thailand is far from Germany, I had no problems to connect to the course web site nor to the teaching team or other participants. All material you gave was very useful for me. I keep it as a reference and consult it when needed"

This is just one of the many positive mails we received after the course.

Another participant wrote: "I would highly recommend this course to others".

We performed an evaluation of the course by asking all the participants to fill out a questionnaire. From this evaluation we would like to point to the following results:

• About 90% found the material adequate
• About 90% would recommend this course to anyone in the future.
• About 90% thought that the course had improved their knowledge a lot
• About 75% thought that the course had improved their skills a lot

With a very positive evaluation report and a high level of satisfaction among participants, we have decided to run this course again in 2011. We have decided to extend the teaching period of the course from 11 to 16 weeks so as to help participants with busy schedules to find enough time to read the material.
And we have also decided to include few more additional material.

"Thanks you for the course, I have learned a lot."

This is just one of the many positive mails we received after the course.

Other participants wrote:

"Materials and solutions ... were really useful, especially the experiences with particular method, good practices, remarks about common pitfalls, wrong reasoning and similar. I'm glad I participated in this online course and learned Stata on the way."

"I am happy to have passed the course and enjoyed it very much and - although I was working with regression models in the past - I learned a lot new and useful for my work. I will urgently recommend the course to other colleagues in the field!!!"

"I wish to thank you very sincerely for this course. It has given me a good head-start to the use of regression models in medical research."

Unfortunately, only six participants filled out our evaluation questionnaire this time, so we could not make a reasonable statistic.
However, due to the many positive responses we got, we decided to repeat the course in 2012 in nearly unchanged form.
