Plague has terrified and fascinated humanity for all of recorded history. Now, in the current moment of COVID-19, people around the globe are again struggling to learn how to navigate life during a pandemic.

This course is on a very important and relevant topic. The Professor is well-informed on the subject matter. But the major and serious limitation of the course as a learning tool which surprised me so much is that there is no any bibliography accompanying the course. Generally, after listening to the lecture, in spite of the lecture being very commanding, the Professor cannot talk about everything and so providing just a list of references or sources that the listener can follow up would be a phenomenal contribution to effective learning. I will encourage Learn25 to insist that all those who produce their courses should provide a bibliography that can help someone learn more and deeper after listening to the lecture, at least if the genuine vision of Learn25 is to encourage people to learn. I believe this will be useful even if it will mean charging a little bit more for the courses. Courses that have bibliography are very useful as tools of learning because one can decide to order the books or check them out of the library. The Professor highlighted many great ideas and connections but there is no way one can pursue further learning of the subject matter of the course based on his inspiration because it is just talk but there is no list of references to help further learning. Thank you very much.
