Prof. Crosbie is an amazing professor! He makes a dry subject (public policy) become very interesting and inspiring. His lectures are engaging and he makes sure to tailor to every type of learner in the classroom. His feedback is constructive and helpful and really goes out of his way to make himself accessible outside the classroom.

Dr. Crosbie's Health Policy course is a great opportunity for students who have not been exposed to health policy and/or are interested in learning more about the topic. While the class is long, Dr. Crosbie facilitates USEFUL student discussion and tries to avoid lecturing for too long. Grading criteria is extremely clear, fantastic course.

Dr. Crosbie is an Amazing instructor! He does not lecture heavily in class but instead students watch his recorded lectures prior to class; this leads to more class activities like debates and roleplaying. He is a very caring and engaging instructor. I highly recommend taking any of his classes when available, you won't be disappointed.

Weekly discussion posts & in-class (socrative) participation. Easy grader for most assignments if you follow the rubric. The exams are weighted heavily, but easy B (on both) if you memorize key terms & have a general understanding. Personally my least favorite CHS topic, but the class is engaging and listens to student feedback. Would recommend!
