Jenny is amazing! You need to go to lectures to ensure you actually know the material because she does not post any lecture slides or lecture content so you will not know the material unless you get the notes from friends in the class. The tests are fair and the assignments are interesting!Rate My Professors ↗
There are a lot of readings to do and they are slightly boring, but they are managable. There are three tests and they are relatively easy if you are familiar with the material. There are two writing assignments that are both a three page maximum that are pretty easy. Also, if you complete 80% of the topcoat question you get an overall 1% bonus!Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Higgins made 8:50 AM mornings amazing. Her lectures were always informative and directly reflected the exams. She made the class personal and you could tell she really cared about what she was teaching. The class used TopHat a lot and there was a good amount of reading that was put on the exam. Overall, highly recommend!Rate My Professors ↗
Wow Dr. Higgins is incredible and GWS is probably the most valuable class I have taken at UW, even as a non GWS major. Her lectures are interesting and meaningful, and she really cares about the content matter and the students. The readings are also interesting, and the two three page papers are easy. I recommend this professor and class to anyone.Rate My Professors ↗
Without a doubt, Jenny is the most caring professor I have had at this university. She makes all students feel cared for. I would recommend that everyone take this course, regardless of your major. The lectures are engaging and applicable.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Higgins is truly an amazing educator. I loved this class, so much that I call it the "health class everyone should have taken," because no matter who you are, you will benefit from this class. Class consists of 3 exams (including final) and 2 writing assignments. Getting an A or A/B won't be hard if you do the readings and attend lecture.
