The best aspects about this class were lectures that were informative and assignments that were applicable to current events in addition to great guest speakers. Some students found the class size too large, and course lectures were hard to hear and boring at times. This class could be improved by giving students a rubric for presentations and incorporating more interactive components into lectures. Prospective students should have an interest in public health.
