Winter 2020 - This review is for all 3 classes that I have taken with Professor Rensel. Rensel is an amazing professor who takes the time to get to know her students. I took her stress and society course M144 and learned so much about public health that I did not know about before. I also took Socgen M102 with her and learned an immense amount. Finally, I took M140 with her. It was the first time that she taught that course, but she did a wonderful job at making it interesting and engaging. She is understanding of student struggles and makes sure to be as reasonable as possible. I adored her as a professor. Truly lucky to have been able to take 3 courses with her.
