Reviews of professor Alicia Wodika

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Extremely tough grader, and I have an online, asynchronous course. There is a lot of work packed into these 6 weeks, but that's to be expected, and at least she cares about what she teaches. Be prepared for loads and loads of reading and watching videos, and a lot of writing for absolutely no payoff in grades.

One of my favorite professors ever, really cares about her students and does a lot of interactive activities in class. Shes so down to earth and humble. She accepts late work and will give full credit usually. As long as you study for quizzes and complete the in class assignments/projects youll get an A.

the best prof in ISU that ive ever had. really loves her job, always finds ways to get the class enjoyable knowing it's about global health. but man, she cares about the students and super humourous too!

I took HSC 206 as a 6 week summer course with Dr. Wodika. I took 3 classes during the summer semester and hers was by far the best and most interesting. I took it for my AMALI requirement just because I needed to complete it and HSC was one of the few offered over summer. This class ended up being so amazing and I am so glad I got to take it. 10/10

Dr. Wodika is by far my favorite professor I've had yet! You will be required to read textbooks, watch films and write discussions on them, among other things. Make sure you write down everything from her lectures since the tests are open note, it's an easy A. She has extremely good communication and you can tell she cares about her students.

I took her grant writing class, I know she meant well and tried to help everyone. But she expects you to reach out for help and will willingly spend as much time as possible with you but you need to tell her you need help or you wont get the help you need. But the class is difficult regardless and you need to work hard and prioritize around it.

I took HSC 206 global health online asynchronous, and was graded extremely harshly. There is insane amounts of reading and films to watch, even though a heavy workload is to be expected with the condensed, 6-week summer course. Wodika's harsh grading does not make me want to double my efforts to please her, she makes me stop caring all together.

Hard professor. You have to write a grant yet in class does not teach you on how to even write it. Teaches about other things and expects you to teach yourself throughout the course on how to write one with little to no help on work days every Friday. Very overall confusing professor. Needs more clear instructions and useful class time.

I learned a lot in this class, and was able to explore my interests in global health. The professor is so kind, and will work with you and help you succeed in the class however she can.
