ENTOM/ENVIRST 205
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Not a bad class if looking for an easy credit or an introduction to global health. Some of the topics were a bit biased, but the course was more than manageable.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Dr. P is super knowledgeable and really cares about global health. Class lectures are boring and just busywork, but attendance is required (they do take attendance). Capstone project was really interesting and fun, and class flow is a good pace and makes sense.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 1/5
If you have a pulse and do all the work, you can pass this class. As an introductory course, the professors and TA's are very hesitant to take off points on your work even when you do the bare minimum like I did. I managed to get a grade over 100% after the course, and with drops, I didn't have to engage with the course after Thanksgiving. Easy A.

she's annoying and assigns weird deadlines in the middle of the day (the assignments says due on Thursday but the first 1/2 is due Tuesday with no reminder) of the day, Will not give you an extension, but the class is easy but extremely boring. I don't think she even teaches the class that often always lets someone else do the lectures.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
I loved Dr. Paskewitz and wish she taught more of nutri sci 203! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. I learned so much from her and she has definitely furthered my interest in global health. There was a lot of content in the lectures, but she provides study packs that guide you through the lectures. Know that info for exams!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
One of the easiest, yet most interesting courses I've taken on campus. Online modules can be long and exhausting, but are filled with informative, necessary content. Good topic variety and mostly clear grading criteria. No exams, 4 "portfolios" (6 pts). 8 open-note quizzes on class content, only 4 points each, plus attendance and discussion posts.
