Reviews of professor Courtney Sims

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
amazing!! so extremely nice and you can tell she loves to teach and truly cares. always leaves feedback on every assignment. 2 individual projects, 1 semester long group project, and a few self reflections. no textbook, quizzes, or tests, and this is one of the only classes where i felt like i actually learned something. i def recommend prof sims!

Best professor I have had so far at Mason. Made the class very easy and took the time to write little jokes in her weekly emails explaining that week's assignments. Take her if given the opportunity.

Professor Sims was amazing. She's very caring about her students and she's a very lenient grader. There's some small projects you do throughout the semester but they're really easy and as long as you put in effort she'll give you the A. Her group discussions in class are actually interesting, unlike other classes. My favorite class of the semester

amazing professor! follow the rubrics and finish the assignments on time, and ask for extensions if needed. most of the assignments only took an hour or maybe even less. there was a semester long group project that was 4 parts. easy 100 for final grade!

Unsure why the other ratings are negative. Professor Sims is one of the best professors I've had in the GCH department. She helps a lot with professional development. her advice was helpful for the capstone project- make sure you get a good group and not a lazy one like mine. She is very approachable and understanding. She's also funny sometimes.

Not sure why this professor does not have a 5 star rating. At first, I was hesitant on taking a class with her because of her reviews but this ended up being my favorite class this semester. No written exams, mostly discussions and a semester long group project. She is very understanding and wants to see her students succeed! TAKE HER!!!

Prof. Sims is really passionate about Health Behavior Theory and Public Health in general. Her lectures help you understand the assigned reading. Likes student participation & highly dislikes when students are on their phones. Had 2 major group projects and a paper as the final. Overall this class is interesting and your grade reflects your effort!

Class was taken asynch and if you do the work correctly, you'll get a good grade. I feel that the class was kind of a repeat of some of the nursing classes I took prior but that isn't to Profs fault. Overall an easy class with a reasonable workload. Take her class if this is a requirement for your degree :)

The Professor was nice and pleasant, MOST of the days, but I would not take her again. The grading criteria was unclear for the first half of the semester(rubrics/clarity added mid-semester due to students' confusion). There were no exams or quizzes but the class needed both because of how unclear her instructions were :( She tried though but no ty
