After two courses with Dr. Stark, I can attest that she is a great professor. It's those students who take the course without the intention of learning anything who won't do well. She is invested in our LEARNING about the healthcare fields we supposedly want to pursue. If you respect your education as much as she does, you will make an A.

Her lectures are decent and she is knowledgable.

Lecture style is pretty solid for a UTD professor. If you have issues with accents and aren't passionate about the subject matter, consider taking another professor. Keep all of your papers/homework/tests because she doesn't post grades online. I had to get my grade changed due to a miscalculation, and having the grades themselves helped a lot.

It is not that Dr. Stark is a bad professor, it is just that her class is very unfair. The grade you get is not reflective of how well you understood the material.

You have a group project but the class is pretty easy and the quizzes and exams are open notes. Pretty easy class as long as you do well on the group presentation which can be slightly annoying.

The class itself wasn't bad, I'd say it was a pretty easy class if you keep up with studying. But I couldn't stand the professor. Instead of answering your questions about the syllabus or curriculum she got upset and would passive-aggressively turn it on you for not paying attention. She is not helpful at all. I would never recommend her to anyone.

I was hesitant to take this course with professor Stark; I am very happy and I have learned a lot about public health. Professor Stark is caring and likes for students to learn. She enjoys teaching and she believes in disease prevention. I highly recommend this professor. I believe she is ethical and respectful to students.

Everything is group assignment so if your group sucks, you're done for. Only one midterm (half mc half short answer) which sounds nice, but the course content is not accurately reflected on the exam so it's gonna be extremely hard. 10 page paper and 15 min presentation at the end of semester. Overall, awful class and experience. Regret taking.

The worst professor ever. I took her to US healthcare system. she tends to make the course hard without any reason. You do not know your grades until the final day. 10 pages long manuscript and group projects. monotone teaching style and reads off the slides. does not test you on what she teaches in the class.

Imma keep it a buck: cool lady, but snooze-fest lecturer. Terrible quizzes (there are only 2 of them). No exams, just a big group project that she picks groups for, so it could go either way. My group couldn't write a paper to save their lives, so I had to carry. Do I recommend her or her class? Nah. Will this class kill you? Nah. Good luck yall :)

The content shouldn't be that difficult to grasp but the lectures and what you need to know to get a good grade feel pretty sparsely scattered. At no point in my semester did I learn any scores of my individual assignments and only learned after finals through a final letter grade in Orion. This class definitely requires the effort I didn't put in.

Why do students like her? This should be an easy A, but she makes it difficult. Her lectures are fast-paced slideshows that are hard to follow, and she doesn't post slides on Blackboard. Doesn't use blackboard. She also doesn't post grades, leaving us in the dark until the final grade. The course is easy, but the final exam likely drops your grade.
