Additional Comments |
I took this class in the May Term as credit for my Category E requirement. It was a lot to comprehend for a 3-week course but overall wasn't that bad. Mr. Wyant is a very nice and understanding professor and I really enjoyed having him as a professor. There were 3 exams and a final. We also had 3 critical readings to do with a few questions with each one, you get full credit as long as you do them. Mr. Wyant will print out all of the notes and hand them out. The only problem is that the tests only consist of about 12 questions and there are 30 or so on the handout. Questions with asterisks (*) you do not need to study for the test. Tests are 120 points each and the final has 18 questions for 240 points. You will have to do a 5 minute book report in the first week of class, he provides you with a list of books you can find at the library to do your report on. There is also a Panel Discussion you can do in the second week. It is of course optional, but it is basically 20 free bonus points. Since he knew I was a nursing major he found me a Nursing article to do as well as two other articles that I got to choose from an assortment of articles. All in all, the class was boring as all get out. However I am glad that it is over and done and I will not have to worry about any more classes like that. Mr. Wyant is a good professor, but the subject is very boring. It also bothered me that he would talk about information in the notes that we didn't need to know for the tests. On top of the final we also had to write a 10-page paper and make a 20 minute presentation on a country and it's health system of our choice. At first I thought this was horrible. But Mr. Wyant is very helpful to find you some good information on whatever country you choose. Pretty much if you do it you get full credit, I think. It sounds really bad but it wasn't as awful as I had envisioned it to be.
As far as I am aware, the only times this class is offered is May term and Winter term. If you want a quick fix for your Category E requirement, this is it. Not too bad as long as you're willing to put forth the effort, and memorize some questions and answers.
