Reviews of professor Carina Fourie

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Carina is very kind. She has her opinion on things for sure, but she is also very open to let students express their views. Her class is really easy; she cares about the effort you put in a paper more than the paper itself. Certainly have learnt a lot from her. Recommend her for sure.

Something that I thought was super cool about this class was that papers were submitted anonymously to avoid bias in grading. As of Win 22 (PHIL242) Med Ethics does not cover genetic engineering with CRISPR. If I could add another tag I would say Online Savvy.

Carina is a fantastic lecturer and genuinely cares about her students learning. Assignments were never overwhelming and both Carina and the TA's give plenty of explanation on what they're looking for. As a stem major, this class was a great way to still feel like I was learning without being overwhelmed.

She clearly cares about everyone being engaged or at least having the opportunity to be engaged so sometimes she will give a lot of space for students to speak so everyone would sit in silence for a minute or two, but if you show up to class and listen to what she asks for you will do well.

Carina was an amazing professor! I took her class online but still thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are interested in Medicine, I 1000% recommend taking this class. You learn a lot about the ethics of medicine and have great conversation about difficult topics. VERY reading heavy but all are beneficial! VERY paper heavy. Overall, excellent class!!

Easy course overall, very interesting material though. Carina tries to be way too clear when talking and ends up unnecessarily rambling for a long time, its like having someone chew your food for you and spit it in your mouth. Quiz sections are amazing place if you like discussing the material!

one 4 question quiz every week, 3 writing assignments, and one final exam. the material and lectures were interesting, but most of the clarification came during quiz sections thanks to the ta. overall, its a pretty easy class as long as you complete the readings and know what youre writing about.

Professor Fourie is awesome and engages her students in the controversial world that is medical ethics. This class was very reading heavy, so be prepared for that. There are also a decent amount of papers, and not that many assignments with harsh grading criteria. Overall, you definitely have to put a good amount of effort to succeed.

Her lectures and the discussions that she leads students through are great. She uses polling to give participation points but it also helps students learn everything they need for the test. You have to write a lot of papers, but that's expected of a course for writing credit. She's very respectful of student viewpoints.
