“Great course, amazing Tutors whose course matter support is tremendous. Excellent presentation of knowledge, from the simplest to more difficult examples. I really like the organization of the training. The materials are constantly available (even “outside” the course) along with the possibility of unlimited self-test attempts which allows you to refresh your knowledge at any time. Having taken the entire course, I can confidently say that the sequence of materials and tasks is perfectly chosen, which only confirms the excellent organization of the Tutors. It is also worth noting that the Tutors provide answers to additional (not necessarily directly related to the course topics) questions.” |
|
“It is comprehensive, detailed, and easy to follow. It has given me an excellent foundation in the principles, methods, and challenges of evaluating and applying measurement uncertainty in an analytical chemistry laboratory. The course has also equipped me with practical skills for applying measurement uncertainty in my analytical work, including method validation. I sincerely thank the organizers and members of the University of Tartu for offering this crucial and valuable course online, free of charge.” |

“I like very much of the lectures and the self tests which help me to complete the quiz tests and understand a little more about the world of uncertainties estimation. And I like even more of the clues included in the tests. Very clever idea!” |
| “I found the course very well structured and extremely didactic. The subject of measurement uncertainty is arduous and complex, and for the first time, I saw the topic being taught in a logical manner with pedagogy of surprising reach. I found everything very good, but the teaching method and the didactics of the professors are outstanding!” |  Rodrigo Barcellos Hoff,Brazil July 2024 |

Despite belonging to a different field, the course helped me to understand core concepts which can be applied to any other field. I would suggest to rename your course as, “Measurement uncertainty Simplified”. One of the finest online courses I have attended, very well explained, all concepts captured with minute details and clarity of each concept made it simpler to understand and apply. I would strongly recommend this course to get acquainted with Measurement Uncertainty.” |

“The course was excellent, I learned a lot. I had problems with Test 5 because I had not understood that I had to convert all the uncertainties to standard, I thought that when the components were standard, we only had to add them together. But it was misunderstanding, the whole course was great. Thank you very much for your help and for giving us the opportunity to people from developing countries like mine, Guatemala, to study with you, without this help it would not be possible for us to raise our knowledge.” |
| “This course turned out to be a rather fruitful course for me. I learned many many things and very much enjoyed it. The level of details, the theory, the models, the tests, the quizzes, the text, the videos all were well explained.” |  Amresh Karmacharya,Nepal May 2018 |

“I would like to thank you for this course, it was awesome. The contents were so helpfull, I am excited to put it on pratice in the laboratory. I was in Estonia in 2014 during my holidays, I visited Science Centre AHHAA and some museums in Tartu and Tallinn, I was delighted with this little country during this brief visit, and this course made me even more impressed.” |
| “I am extremely grateful to you and all the organizers of the University of Tartu for making available such knowledgeable an exciting course to the online population. The course has exceeded my expectations and I have learned a lot during this period, your explanation was easy to follow and the explanation given to the participants questions were informative. I am now able to practically apply the knowledge gain in our medical laboratory. I will definitely share my experience with my colleagues and will encourage them to take this course when it becomes available again.” |  Dianne Dwarika Ramlakhan, Trinidad and Tobago April 2016 |

Vasileios Ragias, |
“I have five years experience in accreditation and Q.A. in my lab, and though participated in many seminars, it is the first time I fully understood uncertainty. The course was over my expectations and the Tutors overdid themselves for our benefit. I am so pleased that I already started spreading the word to my colleagues!” |
| “I would like to thank the organisers for a very well organised and executed programme for Measurement Uncertainty in Chemical Analysis. I will definitely use this in trying to elaborate the concept to laboratories here in Trinidad and Tobago. As the Manager of the Trinidad and Tobago Laboratory Accreditation Service, this has truly enhanced my knowledge and application of the concept to real situations.” |  Karlene Lewis ,Trinidad and Tobago April 2015 |

Valya Ruseva, |
“I would like to congratulate the Course team for a job well done and for success of this course. Indeed it was the best course I have participated and it was a privilege to learn such pragmatic approaches to measurement uncertainty estimation. Thank you very much for sharing knowledge and for so positive readiness to teach and help! “ |
| “I am not surprised at all it was elected the “e-course of the year” in Estonia. The division of the course into sections, video lectures, reading materials and self-tests were excellent. The tutors did not answer quizzes for students. They helped students resolve problems on their own and issues of violation of rules guiding students contribution to learning forum discussions were never overlooked but immediately dealt with tactfully. This made both tutors and students attach seriousness to the course. I have learnt many new things in this course and the organisers deserve lots of commendations. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for a course well planned and congratulations! “ |  Emmanuel Ofoe Ofosu, Ghana April 2015 |

Mafalda Flores, |
“This course was a very pleasant surprise! Honestly, when I enrolled in the course did not have high expectations because I have complicated schedules, but since they allow students to manage their own time in the way that suits you helps. I think much of the success of this course is due to this and it’s a really a big “Pro” of the course. With this course I deepened my knowledge in an area where I have expertise but where I lacked certain important points: the course was a response to these failures.No doubt that all this information will be very useful to me in the short and long term and I thank you for your work and commitment and the whole team. It is true that knowledge is sharing, and that feeling was quite notorious even among students enrolled who were helping each other.In short, I think the University of Tartu did an excellent job and I would be happy to attend more courses of this kind.” |
| “First of all I would like to thank the UT team for the past six weeks, I had a blast!I didn’t know anything about measurement uncertainty when I started this course, but now such figures suddenly make sense to me. Interesting, useful and fun (believe it or not)!” |  Susanne Jacobsson,Sweden April 2014 |

Luis Cabrita, |
“I was neither an absolute beginner nor an expert in measurement uncertainty, but after this course I feel I improved a lot. The course introduced me to concepts I was not very familiar with, and clarified some questions I had in my mind for some time but had no one to ask to. The materials explained the ideas in a few simple words, and the support from teachers throughout the course was very good. It was a pleasure participating in the course and I will be looking forward to hearing of new courses (validation, etc) from the University of Tartu team. Thank you and Congratulations!” |
| “It was a good pleasure for me to attend such a well organized and perfectly presented course. I have read/listened a lot on the topic before, but this was the best presentation without any frustrations and mass of calculations/formulae etc. I would like to thank to team members, University of Tartu and all the participants with their valuable questions and discussions.” |  Kevser Topal,Turkey April 2014 |
