Reviews of professor Julie Smith-Gagen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took this class for the mini-term, and we had lectures and a quiz every day. Understandable. But I feel like her prerecorded lectures were missing a lot of information. On the quizzes, questions were asked and I felt like I had never learned what the question was asking. It was really frustrating. The three big assignments were fun to do though.

**PBH220. This was the first online class I actually enjoyed. not sure if he was another professor or Gagen's TA, but Patrick Hurbain gave detailed feedback on EVERY assigment, which was so helpful and really showed how much he cared about us as students. The assignments were also very clear on what they wanted and NEVER felt like busy work.

She is an exceptional professor. I have never had a professor like her who is very passionate about the subject and always gets the class involved whether it came to group discussions or group activities. I highly recommend her to anyone who is willing to take this class or any other of her classes.

I enjoyed this course and found it be a valuable introduction the foundational concepts of public health. She gives you the quiz questions in emails and posts the questions to the exam as a study guide.  Do the work and you will get an A.

Took this class online and i loveed it! Every week she had us to a discussion post, worksheet, and a discussion paragraph. She did her lectures with her voice included into the powerpoint and also included the transcript. She had 3 written assignments which were interesting to do. A proctored midterm and final. Do the work and you'll get an A.

I took the 3 week online summer class: no textbook but video lectures, discussions, and module quizzes due every day. Lectures were unorganized and convoluted. Some quizzes were not representative of the material learned (video lectures). Some video lectures were really detailed and complex but we didn't need to know all the material for the final.

This professor did not know how to use Excel on the iPad and struggled with a lot of technology issues. She also is not very familiar with the topics that she teaches, and students have had to correct her multiple times during lecture. Her method of teaching is not very helpful for a lot of students. If you can take a regular stats class, do that!!

The instructor provided multiple resources to help understand the content. Her instructions were always clear and she was always glad to clarify any information or answer questions students had. I really enjoyed how the instructor left comments on the majority of my assignments, asking questions or letting me know if I had made a mistake.
