He is a great speaker and offers great insight into Global Health as a whole. I went into his office hours and he is very personable. Definitely recommend taking this class if you plan to go into healthcare!",

    "comment": "M. Deitz is a super cool guy, an effective instructor, and a great person. Classes involved a lot of discussion and cold calls, as well as memorized presentations that were nerve wracking, but they were graded generously and dramatically improved my speaking French. Overall this class is not difficult if you apply yourself to pre-class readings.",

    "comment": "Genuinely a fun dude who excels at teaching and engaging students. Class is a bit much in how many things you're expected to learn/know but that's kind of the expectation for a fifth semester language. Only thing that was tricky was that a large percentage of your grade (like a lot) comes from memorized speeches given in front of the whole class.",

There is one short presentation based on a reading that you must do without notes from memory. Otherwise, this class was very interesting!",
