I found the 'Microbiological Safety of Foods' course to be quite informative and well-structured. As a food safety consultant in France, I was looking to refresh my knowledge on microbiological hazards and risk assessment. The course covered a wide range of topics, from foodborne pathogens to HACCP systems, and provided a good balance of theoretical and practical aspects. While some of the course materials could be improved, overall I'm satisfied with the learning experience and would recommend it to professionals in the field.
