100% class completion!
Just a quick note to celebrate 100% class completion! Well done! According to some recent studies, completion rates for the majority of online courses are disappointedly low at just 13%. So we are really happy to see our courses reach 100% completion rates. Your overall score for this course averaged at 4,0 out of 5! Thank you for your suggestions for further improvement, contributions and creativity in the development outlines of the case studies. I really enjoyed this edition of the online course with such active participation from a great group of participants. We’ll kick off the on campus course of the module with a group discussion about the 4 case studies (scheduled for June 3rd 2019). If you have not yet registered for the on-campus part, please contact me or sign up directly on our site. The same goes for those of you who want to be part of the extended on-campus course to develop your own clinical protocol with an expert in your field as your personal mentor. “Upgrades” are easily registered on our site. Don’t miss out on these more interactive, in depth on-campus sessions. Previous participants rated the on-campus course with a 4.8 out of 5!
Futurelab alumna Meta Roestenberg recently authored an article on reducing uncertainty in clinical vaccine development where I contributed to demonstrate the added value and impact of validated methodology to answer a key question in development. It features a QOC analysis for the malaria case described by Meta. If you have research you want to discuss, suggestion for relevant case studies for Futurelab or ideas for publishing this type of work, please let me know. The value of learning from real life cases is expressed in this Nature article from November 13th. Real life cases are vital for the development of our curriculum so it would be great to see our alumni contribute!
Good luck with the exam tomorrow. I’ll try to review all exams as soon as I get the transcripts and will let you know the results probably next week (also for those who already did the exam last week, if that’s ok).
