Winter 2024 - Dr. Kim Farley is a fantastic teacher! He keeps the class interesting, and you can tell that he genuinely cares about the students. The course itself is relatively easy and super insightful! I feel like the workload is light enough so you can actually listen to the lecturers and guest speakers and not have to worry about writing down everything. The quizzes are simple and super helpful for studying, the midterm and final are straightforward and easy if you study, and the TA discussions help make sure you understand the material and don't fall behind! I would totally recommend this class if you're a PH major or minor or just need the GE!!
