Reviews of professor Ruth Rodney

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
DO NOT take global health with Ruth Rodney. She is an extremely hard marker for no reason. She does not provide proper instructions and information in her rubrics. Classes are not helpful to fulfilling course content. Out of all the nursing courses I have taken over the years, this is the worst course. If you have Ruth, switch as soon as possible.

She is a tough grader and can be rude in her feedback. The most stressful class I have ever taken. Switch sections if you have her. Save your GPA and your tears.

Unrealistic expectations when it comes to the assignments. You can follow the rubric and still end up with a low mark with terrible feedback if any at all. I have had this professor before and she cannot teach online. I would say semester was unclear and the professor gives nothing. Would rather read PowerPoints and 1000 pages from a textbook.

Very tough grader. I wouldn't take a class with her again

Ruth is on a power trip and thinks highly of herself. She does not give constructive feedback and is degrading in so many ways. Makes you feel inferior and stupid. SWITCH IF YOU HAVE HER! Your 4th year does NOT have to be this stressful. Students in other sections are doing much better than students in Ruth's class. SWITCH !

Had her for global health and she was awesome. A lot of assigned readings (articles and papers, no textbook), but if you are genuinely interested in the topics and keep up, you'll do well. Fair marker and easy to ask questions to - doesn't make you feel inferior like some other profs.

Amazing class, great content, and no textbook or lectures! Weekly discussion posts (initial and response post). Group project and two papers also! No exam which is nice, but it is definitely a busy course. Remember to stay organized as there are lots of due dates. Follow the weekly content and reflect! My favourite nursing elective by far!

The presentation is a mark booster, just follow the rubric and ensure that your apa formatting is accurate. Her lectures were very engaging and informative, the class average was a B+, highly recommend!

Very difficult class

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A lot of work (online posting w sources 2x/week), 2 papers, group assignment. Fair marker though. There was a 30% group assignment (for an online class) which I hated. Content was interesting & not hard to understand/do well. I would recommend as an elective if you have time to do the heavy workload it can be an easy A. No textbook, so thats nice!

THE WORST prof I have seen in the last 5 years. She's very belittling and ambiguous in her responses. Takes 1.5 months to get back to you on your paper. She cannot even make a convincing argument when she is challenged. Her grading criteria are unrealistic, arbitrary, and unclear. This course was incredibly stressful. AVOID HER at all costs.
