I did not watch every single video (I watched it initially for a school project so I had to cherrypick videos) but have definitely learnt so much from all the interviews that the professor has compiled for us and see from different aspects, e.g. political, legal, socio-economic factors, even literature, that have shaped our society's view on HIV patients.

The professor has left very positive note and resonance for us to be aware of HIV and how to change our community by being aware of it. It is truly a meaningful course and I just want to give a huge thank you to University of Michigan for this MOOC.

This interesting course focuses on the social and political aspects of this well-known virus. Interesting is as well the historical information provided and that different countries around the world are highlighted and how various presidents dealt with the epidemic. The focus on stigma is amazing, as this has a big influence on the disease. I would have preferred to have some more information about the bio-medical aspects of HIV to gain a complete understanding. However, I would definitely recommend this course to somebody that wants to create a more complete understanding of HIV/AIDS.

Very good starting point for people to become familiar with the HIV/AIDS outbreak. I enjoyed hearing how different cultures viewed the outbreak and how they responded to it. The professor did a good job in the people that he interviewed and the book, video, documentaries he suggested for more information.

I have a medical background so some of it was already familiar to me; if you are in the medical world then the course may be somewhat redundant for you. However, there were many cultural and political information that could be interesting for someone.

This course has been an useful approach for me to AIDS history.

The point is focused on United States but also I Could learn something more of AIDS over the world.

I was hoping to learn more over AIDS, and I did it. But also I learned over people. People who are HIV +, people who care and recent part of our history.

This class is filled with useful information and the outside resources it references are also great. The material in the class is presented in a clear and compassionate manner. It's a class worth taking to better understand AIDS/HIV and the role the disease plays throughout the world.
