Reviews of professor Shu Farmer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I absolutely loved Professor Farmer's class. Attendance was not mandatory, but you miss a lot if you skip out on lectures. Class structure was straightforward. Overall a pretty writing heavy course, but nothing is graded harshly. She's incredibly approachable and wants to see all her students succeed.

Professor Farmer is incredibly sweet and flexible. The content of the class is not difficult, but the final paper is a challenging assignment. While she emphasizes the importance of her lectures, her information is not always reliable and she speaks mostly anecdotally. Lectures are often tough to follow and irrelevant to the exam.

11/10. Very understanding/funny/approachable and REAL like that 1 super cool auntie you trust with everything. Best prof I've had. Incorporates practical, real world wisdom in lectures. Class is fun+interactive w hands on group activities/discs. Really connects w/ students in class+ cares about your future. Tests straightforward, takes attendance.

Dr. Farmer is passionate about Public Health. Her lectures often included information that was applicable to our daily lives. Lectures consist of a slideshow presentation but not everything she discusses is on them, so be sure to listen carefully. Dr. Farmer is very caring and understanding if you reach out to her with any concerns.

Her class is an easy A, if you do the work and listen to what she says and the TAs and her Office Hours are very helpful for advice on the Research Paper. She is extremely kind and caring and her lectures are interesting because of all the stories she tells.

She's passionate about public health but her lectures tend to go off topic. She posts lecture slides so as long as you read them you're good. Quizzes, midterm, and final were open book/notes. There are weekly discussion posts and participation posts that she grades really thoroughly. Make sure you start the paper early because she's strict about it

Honestly, she was really fun in PH1, but now it seems like she just repeats everything, makes me dread to come to class. Sometimes the instructors are unclear, and does not explain it right, which is frustrating when you get a bad grade. Overall, class is an easy A.
