I love Pat - he has changed the course of my career and become one of my mentors. I was in his honors discussion section and loved every minute of it. He is such an amazing person, professor, mentor, and friend, and passionate about sharing his knowledge to empower students. Pat is hilarious, personable, kind, and takes the time to get to know you

Pat is a great lecturer and overall just an interesting guy. I found his course to be difficult, but stomachable. The quizzes/exams were hard, as others have said, and were often quoted from more specific parts of the lectures. They also included a wide variety of spelling errors/typos, making them that much harder.

lectures had pretty good guest speakers and the assignments and quizzes were based off of lectures really well so there were no surprises. he did a great job of explaining each topic and connecting them when needed and I think overall this class was worth my time

I think Prof. Remington is very charismatic and kind, but there was so much information on exams it was hard to study and do well. I also found an excessive amount of typos and errors on the quizzes, which made them 10x more stressful. Many people love this course, but I found it to be much more difficult than I think it should have been.

Dr. Remington is really passionate about public health and does a great job putting it into his teaching. He keeps lecture interesting and engaging. Exams can be difficult since this class covers so much but with studying is manageable! Huge curves.
