She is really wonderful. She has the best way to make her students understand her class. She makes students participate in the class which is for me something vey important. Attending her class gave me the necessary knowledge and skills to advocate for the health women and their children through the countdown to 2030 project in Africa.

Dr. Armstrong-Mensah is a great professor and really does care about your education. You definitely have to show up and participate in class, but the exams are easy if you study and she doesn't try to trick you. The workload is doable and make sure to read!

Professor Armstrong-Mensah was an amazing professor. I took her for an online course and her powerpoints and class presentations were always top notch. She was a fantastic instructor and her class assignments were relevant to what we learned in class. Professor Armstrong-Mensah is also well connected with other public health faculty at GSU.

I took her online for fall semester and her teaching style is ineffective. You are basically teaching yourself and other classmates. She calls on everyone in class to read PowerPoints instead of teaching. I believe she needs to try a different approach to teach her student. Find another professor! You will not learn anything.

I took Dr. Armstrong-Mensah's PHPB 7600, Global Health, in the Fall Semester of 2024. I must say that she is very knowledgeable, thorough, a critical thinker, and a professor who engages her students. Although it was an online course, she had a system to ensure that each student fully participated in each week's class. I truly enjoyed this class.

I'd give her 6/5 stars if I could. Not only was she knowledgeable on the content given to us, she was also passionate about what we were learning. What I love most about her is that she's very patient with making sure you understand the material. She never made me feel incompetent for asking questions or for clarification. Please take her!

This class was one of the best I took during my senior year. She is very organized, engaging, and great at breaking down difficult ideas into simple concepts. the quizzes and exams were straightforward and based on the PowerPoint slides from class. I had the best experince in her class and would take it all over again.

Dr. Elizabeth Armstrong-Mensah is great in the classroom. Her lectures are well structured with meaningful content relevant to the class discussion. Outside of class, she is easily accessible via office hours. She is a fair grader; meaning that you get what you put into the course. As long as you show consistent effort, you will get a good grade.

I'd have her as a mentor if I could. She's very respected and respectful in and out of class. She clearly know what she's talking about and she's very knowledgable on what she's teaching you. She's also very passionate about what you're learning and if you're understanding the material. Don't be afraid to ask questions for clarity.

If you come to class late she will not allow you to enter into class, even if it's one minute late. She uses lockdown browser and gets an attitude when you do not understand certain topics. She also look at ratings on here and end of course rating from the school she told us in class. Some of the rating on here are from her! Avoid her!
