Comment:

took the online 4710 chronic disease course and it's not that bad. Got a b+ but a is possible if you put in work, i just messed up the first paper. Grading criteria is vague for first paper so make sure you do what she wants and be "creative"... whatever that means... but yea take it cause it's good. You have to participate in the forums every week

honestly, a burden of a course. The material isnt too boring, but you really have to be on the forum and spending 5-6hours a week if you want the A. Take something else.

Comment:

Make sure to keep up with her readings, there aren't too many lectures if you take the blended option, you can pretty much do all the work from home. Just stay on top of those literature review readings cuz theyre really lengthy. This course isnt memorizing, it's about INTERGRATING the biological, psychological and social. Get that and youre set.

AWESOME professor. If you do the work, an A is definitely possible. Interesting course.... however readings are deadly boring. Professor brings everything together and makes it easier to engage with the material.

Definitely an easy A. You do not need to put much effort into the class until the midterms, because the "readings" you are supposed to do had nothing to do with the take home tests. Prof is extremely nice. However, the course was very dry and boring.

Great professor, one of the best ive had so far. her lectures are very interesting and she talks at a fairly slow pace for you to write stuff down. her tests are basically straight from her lecture notes or the text with no confusing questions

Comment:

lucy is such a knowledgeable, friendly, & approachable prof. there's no more final in 4710 now b/c of too many past complaints - so u might think twice about missing out on a great course! A warning to science students: mainly writing is involved, so it might not be an "easy" course in that sense.

If she's teaching - you better watch out. She appears friendly and easy, but her midterms are very very very unfair. It's so vague and weird, I hated it.

worst teacher i ever encountered. horrifically boring lectures - she goes off topic and gets all pissy about cell-phones. VERY ABSTRACT TEST QUESTIONS that are neither text/lecture material.

Great prof. Knowledgable in her area of expertise. Always available for help. Dry lectures, but she adds some humour which make them barable. Essay exams in upper year courses, so if you can't string a sentence together, you're screwed.
