Fairly easy grades. Just lots of work and not worth the effort since it's only 2 credits.

Comment:

Snow is not a bad person. In fact, I think she actually cares about her students a lot, but what makes her so disliked among students is that she takes health far too seriously. I was in section L, and we had to write papers each week, do a group project, do case studies, article critiques, etc... Soooo much work for a 2 credit hour class.

Comment:

A pretty easy course--you can receive up to 4% extra credit in addition to others. As long as stay on top of easy online quizzes and assignments, the class is not difficult. PPTs (and kinda the online readings) have all needed for tests; I didn't pay attention in lectures much. There is a group assignment that is easy. Snow is pretty generous.

Comment:

40% of the class grade was guest speaker lectures that required us to write a 2.5-page reflection every week and no actual material taught by the professor. Even the exams were mostly from guest speaker material. The ludicrous amount of assignments and group projects make this class extremely high stress for a 2 credit health class.

This class is like any other classes you may take at GT: lectures, homework, paper, group project, exams, etc. BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE! APPH is supposed to be one of easy classes w/o a lot of hw but this class does. She gives out high reflection (a total of 5, 4 pages each) grades but tests are a bit hard. I'm borderlining A & B after lots of effort.

Comment:

Her section of the class is much more work than the same class taught by other professors. She gives the most ludicrous exams which aren't even relevant to "Health" in any way. You literally don't learn anything

Just don't take her. Her class has disproportionately high assignments for a 2-hour class.

Comment:

Idk what all these bad reviews are about - I never go to class unless there's a guest speaker cause it sometimes shows up on the test. All you have do is study the PPTs for the tests and you'll be fine. Only 1 group project that isn't that strenuous. Weekly Pearson assignments with all of the answers on Quizlet. Very easy class with no final.

Extremely mediocre for the most part. She would probably rather be teaching her biostatistics class, since the exams are full of memorizing seemingly random numbers.

Comment:

This lady is the worst professor I have ever had. She takes this class way too seriously and knows every student in that class is only there because they have to be and milks it. Seriously, I would've rather taken the 8 am section of this class to avoid her as a teacher. Get ready to be told you're unhealthy for being a college student.

Comment:

Professor Snow was not as bad as I expected. The class material was relatively interesting and applicable to my life. If you decide to take her class, get started on the extra credit opportunities early or you might end up like me with an 89. I didn't try too hard, just occasionally reviewing the study guide/articles/presentations she gave us.

Comment:

Dr. Snow cares about health and wants her students to succeed, which is great. However, the lectures were boring, with her simply reading from PowerPoints (making notetaking fairly pointless). The tests had multiple questions relating to arcane statistics from the PowerPoints. The assignments were really easy, and there was lots of extra credit.

Comment:

The tests are easy to study for but specific, so just memorize the PowerPoints she gave out before the tests and you should be good. There are pretty useless projects, but they're not challenging and help the community, so not too bad. You can also get up 4 points of extra credit fairly simply, so not hard to get an A if you just take it seriously.

Comment:

This class involves too much busy work and doesn't teach you very much if anything at all about health. Test's are hard because they are full of random statistics and stuff never covered in class lectures. Lots of extra credit offered, but be wary, this is not the easy A class that it should be. Prof Snow is passionate, but not the best teacher.

Way too much work for a health class. Get ready for debates/papers/other assignments. Tests are heavily based on statistics. Don't fall for the fact that she has a good GPA record -- it's not worth it and that GPA comes from her outside-of-class extra credit opportunities.

Comment:

Dr. Snow is pretty knowledgeable about all the concepts we learn, which makes the lectures somewhat interesting. She takes it seriously, but she also complicates things for students and herself. There's an okay amount of work; it can get a little confusing if you don't stay on top of it/ don't go to lecture. Gives many extra credit opportunities.

Comment:

Compared to other health professors, Dr. Snow gave so much work! I was jealous how my roommate's health class consisted of 3 easy tests with a couple easy assignments. For Dr. Snow, the tests are bizarre, there is this huge group project, assignments are ridiculous and her lectures are painful. For the test, study the powerpoints and you'll get a B

Comment:

Means well, but pitakes health class way too seriously. We're just taking this so we can graduate. Tests ask questions about very specific statistics and facts rather than general concepts so I felt like I didn't learn anything. Generous with extra credit, felt like I had to work a little too hard for a health class, but made an A at the end
