I liked the course, with its many different speakers and approaches.

The one thing I missed the most was seeing the models in action. Even if the course isn't aimed at scientists or programmers, there are free online simulations where one can adjust model constants to see the effects interactively without any knowledge required.

See NetLogo at http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/, for which there are forest fire, disease spread in networks, cellular automatas and many other interactive simulations. Insight providing questions may involve finding the value of a parameter such as the epidemic can't spread, for instance.

For more formula oriented optional exercises, I would recommend something similar to Differential Equations in Action from Udacity. It's a relatively easy course implementing the SIR model, physics and ABS. An exercise could be "modify the simulation to consider X% germs get resistant after each antibiotic treatment" (either in NetLogo, or Python).

It was a good course. It covered everything I had expected. I didn't care for the "epidemiologist" sections but realize it is integral to the subject. I purchased David Quammen's ebook "Spillover" this year and have read through it. Twice. Fascinating stuff! Much of what was in this book, was included in this course so I had an idea about bats, and spillover, and where HIV came from, and how fast SARS circled the Earth.

I was front line staff, Clinical Lead, for the first CoV-19 outbreak in the first Nunavut Community in Nov. 2020. I was working as Regional Communicable Disease Co-Ordinator when the First Omicron variant arrived in the first Nunavut Community in Dec. 2021. This course helped me link many of the processes which our Dept. of Health was utilizing at the time.
