Cameron is the BEST PROFESSOR I have ever had. She is extremely kind, devoted to her students, and knowledgeable about the field that she is in. Everyone deserves to have a professor like this.

Professor Macdonald is an amazing professor. Not only does she work to get to know her students and their needs, but she's constantly engaging us. She's friendly, and easy to talk to. Not harsh, and very understanding about the workload that college students have. Always understanding about need for help, extensions. YOU DO NEED TO MAKE AN EFFORT.

I enjoyed this class and learned a great deal about the health care system(machine). Are you aware that drug companies are the third largest contributor to our nations GDP? how do you think that affects your health care? this was just one of the many interesting things we learned about.

My favorite professor on campus! Exams are always very fair and you get essay questions beforehand. Lots of opportunities for extra credit. Definitely made Soc theory bearable.

Awesome professor. Extraordinarily knowledgeable and very helpful. Yes you have to attend and should participate but this is a higher level sociology class, if you can't accomplish those basic requirements you shouldn't be taking anything 400+ level anyway. Must take this class if you have any interest in health care and health care policy.
