Fantastic! Wasn't interested in the course but she brings such passion that you can't help but enjoy it! Fairly easy mark, but you do have to pay attention and DO THE READING! Lots of reading assigned and exams do reference it. If you can take her class definately do! Will happily give extra help and will always clarify if you're not understanding

One of the best teachers I ever had...very passionate and always willing to help you in and out of class. At first I wasn't interested in the topic but she made it really cool to study.

I enjoyed the class very much. The profeesor was very knowledgeable in the subject area and made the course very interesting and distinct from other courses that I had taken with using real life examples in class; e.g. video clips, surveys. Also, she created a very friendly class environment , which made it an excellent place for learning.

a great professor!

Very clear and helpful prof. Always enthusiaitc to help her students and wants everyone to succeed. She makes lecture interesting by keeping the class upbeat

Awesome teacher and really easy class. Really cares about her students, and if you need extra help she'll totally give it to you. easy ease marker on exams too.

Crisp, smart and engaging. Cares about her students; she does this by learning each student's name (upwards of 235)!! Supporter of athletes and encourages university involvement. Consistently swarmed by students at the end of each class. A gem for the faculty

The best teacher I have had. Very committed to her students. Exams are fair and the assignments are fun.

Great prof who actually tries to get to know who you are. Very interesting class.

Very enthusiastic and caring when it comes to student needs. She learns all the students names (no joke--I doubted it myself until she called me by my name before I introduced myself!) However, I think the course should be a 4-credit course. There is WAY too many readings required and if you're taking a regular 4-course/5-course workload it is quit

GREAT PROFF, VERY ENTHUSIASTIC BUT THERE WAS WAY TOO MUCH READING FOR A FIRST YEAR 3 CREDIT CLASS.

She is excellent. Teaches the concept well...If you attended all the classes, you should do pretty well.

Very cheerful and energetic professor! She makes lectures really interactive by allowing student input and ideas every class. The course itself involves a lot of reading, but it is relatively light. Take the class with her if you can... yes, there's a lot of work to get you involved and thinking, but I found it enjoyable and rewarding!

content was not the most interesting and lots of readings but overall she was solid. marking tends to be on the easy side but the final was challenging so dunt forget to read.

Amazing Prof. She cares a lot about the students and makes an A+ achievable. The readings she assigns are interesting and I found it took less than an hour a week to stay on top of the readings.

It was an ok class. Books were not worth purchasing. Exams were fair, a bit on the easy side. Not a lot of conceptual questions so you do need to memorize some of the material. Lots of reading, but not difficult. Assignments took a while to be returned. She was enthusiastic about the subject, which made class more interesting.

she is a teacher who always promised you something..but ended up not doing it.Too much reading and the midterm and never prapare for class.

I have never had a prof like Dr.Tucker before. She cares about all her students and does everything in her power to make sure you get the best grade possible. I highly reccommend HSCI 130 with Dr.Tucker!

Awesome Prof! She really wants her student's too succeed and will go over and beyond if you put in the effort! I recommend taking any of her classes. I took HSCI 130...there is quite a bit of work but its worth it!

Great prof! I don't know what is with these other students who gave a bad comment. Easy material, lots of reading but if you do it you will do great on exams. Dr. Tucker allowed me to make up some assignments which most prof's dont. Highly recommended prof!

Good professor, very helpful. always suggest students to form a study group. we learn a lot outside the textbook.for the mid-term and final exam, study lecture note and form a study group to discuss. learn from the process of discussion.

Good professor, very helpful. always suggest students to form a study group. we learn a lot outside the textbook.for the mid-term and final exam, study lecture note and form a study group to discuss. learn from the process of discussion.

The person who spammed a bunch of comments obviously put in ZERO effort to succeed in her class. I studied hard for the midterm, did awesome, put in minimal effort for the final and got a minimal grade. Returns e-mails right away, stays online to answer questions before exams. Awesome Prof, passionate about the subject. Definitely take her class

Definitely one of the better professors I have had. She helped me through a hard time with a personal traumatic event and even gave me extensions for exams. No prof has really put that much effort into getting to know their students! A+

as I was saying, she does a lot for her students in terms of e-mailing, accomodation, and so many other things, considering she has a lot on her own plate too! She is not a robot who sits behind the comp 24/7 ready to respond e-mails, if you can't get a hold of her, GO VISIT HER! she does have office hours! straight up! so don't be talking smack!

Most amazing Prof ever here at SFU. Cares deeply about her students, their learning, and her teaching. Marking was fair and reasonable. Made class interesting and enjoyable. Would reccommend her to everyone and for any class :)

I took this in 2006, I enjoyed the class. I was new and I slacked of a bit. She was really good at teaching, and getting everyone involved and helping students. take her if you want to be treated well. Do the readings ahead of the time, be in class on time and get involved in the class conversations.

it was the first time Hsci211 class being offered. It was taught by Dr. Ro and Dr. Corber. Both great teachers. They were organized and highly enthusiastic. what I learned from this class was do the readings ahead of time and be prepared to get involved in the class conversations.

She's really nice!! It is required that you do attend the class because if you do miss a lecture it's kinda hard to follow because she doesn't follow the text book. I have no idea why, but her exams are kinda hard for me. The questions seem straightforward but it seems that I cant get them correctly. Read lecture notes, and ask her for help!!

Recommend take this class with Tucker. She understands her students and does her best to help us learn the material.

One of the best profs i have had so far! You can tell she really enjoys teaching and her midterm and final were completely fair! She is a very helpful and a good go-to person, even for questions regarding other classes!

Rochelle is a wonderful teacher. Never have i seen a more enthusiastic and caring person. I enjoyed her class thoroughly and suggest to those interested in health science to attend her lectures.

Great, Great, Great?.simply great. She loves the class and makes everyone interested in it as well. The assignments are long but fun. The readings are the only downside to the class; way TOO MUCH TO READ (should be a 4 credit class with that much reading). The midterm and final are very fair. Overall, I would recommend taking the class with Dr. Ro

I didn't ever think a prof could be so passionate about teaching a class. She is the most wonderful prof I've had in my 3 years at SFU. She's unusual in that she doesn't believe in standing in front of a class and talking for 50 mins, she's all about discussion. She is an amazing prof, highly recommended. I'll be taking a fourth year class with he

I enjoyed this class! Dr. Ro is really engaging with the material which is refreshing. If you're looking for an "easy" class where you can sit on your butt and be antisocial this isn't it. I'm introverted & lived. If you're genuinely interested in Health Science this is a good intro. Stay on top of notes/readings, go to tutorial and you'll be fine.

Dr. Ro is a great prof, shes really engaged and obviously very passionate about the subject. Great class. Midterm was very detailed so quite difficult, assignments were long and worth little, and tons of reading! Just make sure to stay on top of it all if your going to take this class. Its very interesting but has lots to do!

Dr.Ro(this is one of the names she told us to use) is a very good professor, caring, helpful, hardworking. The content in the other hand is challenging for me. I couldn't understand a majority of the material that was taught because of the scientific terms, graphs and methods, etc. The exams are out of my control in someway. Hard.

She is by far the best prof I have ever had, her classes require you to work hard but she's just so passionate about teaching. I loves open discussion and allows everyone to voice their opinion. she has the most amazing memory out of all the profs that have ever thought me.She members people by name and face even after years.Class discussion's key

Best course ever!!! I have taken another course with her. She's a great prof. Take her if u like to work hard n want to be recognition as a 3rd and 4th year student. Definitely recommend her to everyone that want to start learning in a new way that isn't just trying to remember stuff n be able to recall on the test. Oh btw no exmas for this class:)

I respect Dr. Ro so much and I'm a first year. She got her Phd from Harvard!! She played a big role in building the faculty of health science so she knows what she's doing and she is passionate about the stuff she's teaching. A lot of work yes, but with a consistent effort, you will enjoy this course

I love Dr. Ro as a person. She is amazingly passionate about her work and loves what she does. However, because she is so busy being involved in great causes and research, things tend to be unorganized in the course. The courseload is also ridiculously insane, I would recommend taking 130 with another prof that is easier if you want to take it easy

Very nice prof. However, she is not organized AT ALL. Her course contains multiple readings and assignments. This course is NOT a GPA booster, despite what people say.

Dr. Ro is one of the best proff's I have ever had. No joke! Very helpful, fair and makes class interesting because she actually cares about what she's teaching. Recommend any of her classes! I've taken a few now and if you put in the work and attend classes you'll do great!

Where do I start really disorganized, it will take her forever to get grades up and to respond to email. Too many movies, too often life interferes with her class. Seriously grades WOW takes FOREVER, however office hours are helpful and she tells u directly whats on midterm (big mark questions). Final couldve been better, Review session was helpful

This is an awesome course if your a hsci student, you know your in the right major if you like this course. Rochelle is awesome, she knows what she is doing inside out. The class is 4 credits so it is a bit more of a course load. I wouldn't recommend this class if your going to take it as a b-sci (take a kin course instead).

She's not the greatest prof, quite unorganised actually, and the course load feels like quite a lot but it's still easy to get a good mark. Attend her office hours and she will tell you the material to focus on when studying for midterms and final.

Honestly i loved this class! sure there were 4 assignments but they weren't difficult. I really found this course interesting and she lets you know exactly what will be on the exams. I never used my textbook just memorize her lecture slides and you'll ace the midterms. shes a great prof!

She is so easy. Lots of easy marks. Just need to sit in class. She is so interesting. She talks really good. Lots of videos to see.

If you don't like to think for yourself. If you don't like flexibility. If you don't like to read or write. If you require being babied in a 3rd year university course - then not only should you reconsider taking this class, but you might want to re-evaluate why you are in academia. Dr. Tucker is like none other - a passionate and caring lecturer.

I took hsci 130 with rochelle about 4 years ago, I wasnt the greatest fan but then decided to give her another shot for hsci345. 345 turned into a disaster. Ro definitely has potential to do much better. she is passionate and helpful but she shouldnt have acted out on 300 students. I felt she was a bit unfair and took her stress out on the students

One of the best profs I've had at SFU. One of the reasons I decided to major in HSCI. Work hard and study, you'll get an A. What she says is on the exam is actually on the exam. She is a bit disorganized by pay attention and it wont matter. Very helpful in office hours.

HSCI 130. The assignments and tests have been very easy and a moderate amount of work will give a good mark. The textbook reading are useless, i have not read anything and managed to get an easy A on midterms. Everything on her exams seems to be from lecture notes. Course is boring, however shes very nice and extremely helpful at her office hours

Rochelle is disorganized and never on time with her marking. However, she is very helpful if you are willing to go see her during office hours. There is too much reading in this course, most of it unnecessary. The midterms were fair if you studied. All you need to do to do well in this class is follow her notes.

This course has way too many readings that are unnecessary, but the exams are fairly easy if you attend lecture, listen to the hints she gives, and review the lecture notes. Textbook readings are somewhat tested, although minimal. She seems engaged in the material, and is nice and friendly if you need help, but she is EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED!!!

Don't let the negative posts scare you away. The information in the course is interesting and not difficult to understand (except for the epi math). True, she is disorganized; however, her disorganization should not really affect your study habits. I think the woman just needs a vacation.

Dr Tucker is a fantastic prof who takes a genuine interest in her students to the point where she gets to know them by name. In Hsci345 I found her to be caring almost to a fault, for the final exam we were GIVEN A CHOICE on format, questions, despite it requiring way more work for her in the long run. Overall, an amazing prof!

Dr. Ro is one of the most caring and understanding profs you'll meet at SFU. It's unfortunate that people are tough on her, but it's not her fault she has high expectation from students. See her in person & she'll definitely try to help you out. Make the effort and you can be sure she'll back you up on it! :)

Dr. Ro did a wonderful job revising and implementing this course. The weekly quizzes were a lot of work, but the subject material was interesting Dr. Ro taught very interesting and thought provoking material. She is very caring about her students, and wants the best for them. Great class, great Prof. If you are engaged you will do very well. :)

Clearly cares about her students. Goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material and requirements. Final assignment is large but it's well laid out, due in stages and a great way to learn how to write a university level paper. Attend lectures, pay attention and you will do well.

Overall I really enjoyed Dr. Ro's lecturing style. She is clear, interesting and engaging. It is a 4 credit course so a lot more work is required but it does pay off in the end! Go to the TA for help. I had Erik and he was fantastic. My only complaint is that she takes awhile to reply to emails and returns assignments pretty late. READ TEXTBOOK.

It wasn't a bad class if you did your readings.

Not as bad as some people say she is. Exams aren't very difficult. Never did any reading and studied 2 nights before for midterms (and even the night before for one) and did well. I was 1% off from a B+ so after emailing her she bumped me up. Great prof to have.

My fav first year prof! Very kind, engaging and generally cares about her students. There is A LOT of readings which are repetitive, but the lectures are interesting! Most engaging class i have taken! Loved it. 10/10 would take a class with her again. she doesnt reply to emails though.

Dr. Ro is a great prof and is very caring to her students, I am not sure why she has so many bad reviews... She is definitely one of the better profs I have had at SFU. She is very helpful during office hours and wants her students to succeed. Compared to my chem and mbb courses this was a piece of cake ;)

Lectures are very informative and engaging, with lots of discussion. The course has a lot of reading but it's not really necessary to succeed. Dr. Tucker cares about her students and wants them to do well. She drops A TON of hints of exam questions, and even includes bonus questions on midterms and final! I'd 100% recommend her, amazing prof!!!!

Dr. Ro is an awesome professor that is truly engaged in teaching what she knows. The lectures can be long but that doesn't take away from the spirit that she has for the class. There is a lot of reading however which is probably the most difficult thing about the class. If you get behind in your readings, be prepared to catch up!

Tests are straightforward, but requires very detailed knowledge on statistics. Dr. Ro is very jolly and always has a smile for you.

Rochelle was an amazing prof! I took HSCI130 with her at the Surrey campus and i loved it. She made the lectures interesting, and above all, she would tell us which questions she would put on the exams and midterms! Midterms/exams were fair and relatively easy. Would highly recommend this course!

SOOO many readings.. Exams often test for little details but Rochelle lets the class know ahead of time what to focus on. I thought the exams were fair. Lecture notes are not given before classes and often gets posted very late (like 1 or 2 days after the lecture). Overall, a very solid class/prof.

Loved Dr. Ro!! She clearly has passion for what she's teaching and it comes out in her lectures, making them engaging and interesting. She also gives many hints about what will be on the exams. Try not to get behind on your readings, there are questions about the textbook/articles on the midterms and finals. Overall, my favourite course and prof :)

while there were a ton of readings, I found that it was sufficient to skim the readings and focus on the lecture slides instead. Her lectures were really interesting and I like that she learned my name. Definitely attend lectures because she tells you exact test questions. Old midterms will be VERY helpful as well. She really knows her stuff

Dr. Ro is a really excellent prof. She gives hints of whats on the exam and she is very clear with what she expects you to know, there are no surprises with this prof. Check the syllabus, do your readings, and attend all tutorials and lectures, pay attention and I can guarantee you will get an A. Don't take this this course if you want to slack.

Dr Ro was a great prof for this course! she was enthusiastic and knew what she was talking about. She expects a lot out of her students with regards to doing the pre readings and knowing what to expect on the exams, which were fair but very specific. The textbook is what makes this course bad, it is dry and doesn't really get its point across.

I highly recommend hand-writing notes in a timeline fashion. It would save your life and save your time before exams. Textbook is optional for supplementary purpose. Pay attention on lecture slides and tutorials. Use recording if she talks too fast. Please do group project. She likes creativity and being passionate. Then you will get A.

Actually a caring prof and passionate about what she is teaching. Get to know her in office hours. Go to office hours and ask questions you have. overall one of the best profs I have had!

Really knowledgeable professor that values student interaction and feedback. Discuss and engage lots to get a good mark.

Passionate about course material and an engaging lecturer. Very innovative in teaching style and creates assignments with a lot of originality. Lots of work, and condensed lectures. Stay focused in lectures as she changes slides quickly. Adds bonus questions to tests and a bonus project of outside-of-class engagement (easy marks). Overall solid

Rochelle was fun, especially looking back when I took her as a first year student and comparing her to some of the other profs I have now. She has a very particular emphasis on making sure her students are really learning so she incorporates methods like movies and classroom games-- so it could be a real hit-or-miss for most.

Rochelle goes above and beyond for her students when they need help. I found this course challenging yet rewarding. Lots of readings, lectures were okay, assignments were reasonable. Second midterm (theres math) and final are tough. To do well I recommend acing all the assignments and trying your best in the midterms/finals. DO THE GROUP PROJECT!

Most reading I've ever done for a single course. Make sure you read every article on Canvas, because it will likely be on the final. That being said, Rochelle is a great lecturer who is clearly passionate about public health, and who grades fairly (no curve).

Rochelle was an amazing prof! Passionate and approachable outside of class; evident that really wants you to succeed. Emphasis on attending class - her slides are NOT thorough enough alone, so your own notes are crucial. Exams are tough, math, articles, and readings are definitely on there! My assignment average was 95% but my exam average 67% LOL

One of the best profs I have had. Extremely helpful outside of class especially in office hours(online and in person). Pay attention in class, take notes from the slides and if you ask questions when you dont understand something then you will do fine in the class. Class was not definitely not easy but if you put in effort then you will get a mark

She was an amazing prof who really cared about how well her students did in the class. If you are taking a class with her, I highly recommend checking out her office hours as she is super helpful.

Dr Ro is the best prof Ive had so far at Sfu. Shes so kind and cares about her students. she drops so many hints about exam questions and makes sure you know what to expect on the exams. But you still have to work for your grade and the textbook readings can be a bit overwhelming, so make sure youre on top of your readings. 100% would recommend

Dr. Ro can seem a bit intimidating but once you stop by her office hours she is one of the best profs in the HSCI faculty. She drops MAJOR hints on what will be on the midterms and final, as well as being super accessible with her pre-exam online chats! Make sure to stay on top of your readings and ask questions! Definitely recommend!!

Very well thought out lectures. Very helpful outside the class especially in office hours , gives one on one advice. Must read the textbook if you want to do well.

Dr. Ro is very passionate about what she teaches and cares about her students. Her lectures are extremely organized and she's always looking to improve so that students can learn better in her classes. She will drop major hints on what to expect on the midterm/exams but be prepared to study and read the textbook.

Dr. RO is AMAZING! She is such a good prof and is very helpful. She gives great advice on how to do well in class and actually wants her class to do well. Be sure to attend lectures, since they are very educational and try to get through textbook readings and pay attention to review sessions.

One of my favourite profs, shes super engaging and makes the content enjoyable to learn

Dr. Ro genuinely cares about her students. She teaches you how to study smart. She tells you absolutely EVERYTHING you need for exams and her assignments in lecture, it's up to you take notes. I feel like people who didn't do well most likely just decided to study only off her slides. Listen to what she actually emphasizes and repeats in lecture.

An amazing professor who genuinely cares about her students education and their well being.

Genuinely nice lady who cares that her students do well. Encourages a lot of in class participation and tests on things she may have not went over in class but were in assigned readings. If you show up to class and pay attention you could pass with a decent grade but you really gotta go over the readings and understand material to get an A

Dr. Tucker (or Dr. Ro ) is a wonderful prof. She is inspiring, easy to understand, and engages her students very well. She was such a good prof for my first semester. An absolute angel and gives so much help if you ask for it. It's not an easy class and there are SO many readings but overall I would highly recommend!

AMAZING PROFESSOR! Took the time to learn the names of the 150+ people in the lecture hall. Very clear expectations, super helpful and caring. Hands down my favorite prof this semester. Very interesting content. The only thing was that there was a fair amount of group work, but that's a personal preference thing. Overall would HIGHLY recommend!

really passionate and engaging in lectures, and she gives you a decent amount of questions that will be on the midterm and bonus questions. she's always opening to engaging with students too. only downside is there's a lot of required reading of articles, textbook chapters (and there will be questions on the test on the readings) + documentaries

A really understanding prof. The content wasn't dry, but there's a lot of group work and mandatory texts/films. Much of the final was about the films, readings, and textbook. I survived without reading the textbook, but recommend others do read it as it would have helped me a lot. She made it clear whats on the exams by going over key topics.

Dr. Tucker is the best prof. I took this course in my first semester of first year. She keeps everyone engaged in her lectures, make sure you guys see her recorded version if cannot attend the lecture. Do focus on readings for finals and movies for mid term 2. The first mid term was very easy for me compared to the other one.

Solid prof and good course if you keep up with all of the readings. Emphasis on specific details on exams from films, textbooks, and tut readings. Prof was engaging and had review sessions where she covered what would be on the exam. Pay attention to hints in class because they are exam questions! Recommended if you're interested in epidemiology.

Prof. Ro was amazing. I took HSCI130 with her for my first year and her lectures are good, she genuinely cares about the student's wellbeing, and tries to make the material as engaging as possible. Group project and some readings, but Prof Ro emphasized what was important for exams. She's great, I would take again.

This was one of my favourite, most engaging classes at SFU. Dr. Ro is an expert at facilitating discussion and encouraging participation from everyone in class. Since it was a small class (~25 students), it was easy to ask questions and get helped when needed. Dr. Ro is also very accommodating and understanding with students. Thank you Dr. Ro!

Dr. Ro made my first semester the best. No surprises on midterm or final, if you paid attention in class and read the textbook, you're good. Go to the extra help sessions before exams, they were super helpful and showed how much Dr. Ro cared about her students by putting aside time to help us outside of her office hours and Tucker Talks.

Rochelle has been amazing I was skeptical of taking this class with her because of the mixed reviews but if you keep up with lectures you will do just fine! theres also 3-4 assignments that can easily help boost your grade and she holds zoom meetings before exams to go over any questions

Very inspirational. I just took HSCI 130 this summer, and it was really fun. Marking is really fair, and lots of free marks. Tutorial is 10%, midterm 20%, final 25%, rest is assignments. Class is an easy pass, however beware she does not scale or curve the course. Doing good is very easy tho!! u got this

Dr. Tucker was an amazing prof. She is very caring and is always willing to help. She had review sessions for midterms and for the final exam and everything she mentioned came on the exam however the material was too heavy and hard to prepare. Overall this course was amazing but just be prepared to read a lot and your memorization should be good.

She explains everything really well and forces you to make personal connections with everything to help in better learning.

Very caring prof, very kind as well. Lecture slides are nice and clear. Class has 2 midterms and 1 final. Along with multiple assignments. I would recommend this prof. Just note that her final exam was a bit brutal as there was a lot to cover so don't CRAM. Following that her assignments can be time consuming so make sure you start earlier.

HSCI130 w/ Dr Ro was great. Things to note: 1-There is A LOT of group work, which is frustrating if your group members are lazy. 2- this is a 4 credit course, meaning increased course load. 3- she is very accessible outside of class & willing to help(tucker talks). 4- study the lecture slides AND the textbook for exams.

The assignments were a bit confusing sometimes. She was easily accessible outside of class and answered emails. She basically tells you what you need to know for the midterms and finals so go to the review sessions. Didn't touch the textbook once but I watched lectures & did my assignments. Also offered extensions if given 24 hours advance notice

Easily my favorite prof this year. Very engaging lectures and fun projects. Cares a lot about students success (go to Tucker talks..she literally tells you what's on the exams). Fair exams, but assignments can get tricky if you decide to procrastinate.

Their are quite a bit of films you have to watch but getting an good grade is pre easy, assignments are ez asf and theirs 4 of them which are worth 40 percent total and that could boost your mark a lot. She cares for her students to do good clearly and legit gives you so many of the exact questions that are gon be on the mid terms and finals.

Very caring prof. The course content itself was not hard but there was a lot of it. Office hours helps a lot if you go. Overall was a pretty good course.

She was easily accessible outside of class and answered emails. She basically tells you what you need to know for the midterms and finals so go to the review sessions.

She is AMAZING I didn't read the textbook once and got an A. She also really cares about her students and tells you the EXACT SA questions on the exams and gives you bonus questions! she does review sessions for the exams. Also everything is weighted so little that it's easy to get a better mark as the course goes on (I started with a 60) recommend

It's perfect.

Dr. Ro is amazing! Her review sessions are very helpful. She would share the exact same questions that will be on the exams, so make sure you attend them! The TAs marked fairly. Overall, this course was great, but be prepared for a lot of memorization.

The class had a good amount of work, but the prof was very helpful and accessible. Unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for test prep. Overall, a solid course if you stay on top of it.

had her in summer 2024. She's excellent. If you participate in lecture and tutorials, the course is easy. You just have to put the effort into studying concepts and practice memorization, she is so generous with giving out exam questions and how to answer them. This is how a first year course should be in my opinion, straight forward and engaging.

Loved her class! She is super understanding and the lectures are clear and interesting. There are many sources of information that are testable (textbooks, lectures, articles, documentaries), but she sums it all really well in her Tucker Talks session which I highly recommend attending!

Doctor Tucker really knows her stuff. She struggles to make clear what homework and textbook needs to be read. The test material is SUPER extensive—it covers every minor detail mentioned in lecture, tutorial, required readings, and assignments. However it is not very in-depth or application-based. Assignments boost grade!!.

such an amazing prof! encourages questions and is always able to help. lectures could get boring at times but that's just because the content could get dull. tutorials were useful and she gives you all the short answer questions on exams ahead of time. overall great class!

I worried about the bad reviews but those were from a sem she was having health issues. She is an amazing prof and so understanding. Tells what's on the exams and gives extensions under any circumstance. Also review complaining about gender drop out of HSCI, gender disparity is covered in health and your masculinity must be fragile af or smth lol

-hard to fail if you try -very supportive and will host Zoom sessions for quizzes, midterms..etc, which have most of the things on the test. -slides are very informative and summarize readings and content well

Dr. Tucker is a very understanding and kind person, but HSCI 130 covers TONSSSS of content (emphasis on TONS). She is easy to reach in her office hours and creates pre-exam Q&A meetings (Tucker Talks). I highly recommend using Quizlet to study for this course. It helped me a lot in breaking content down.

Tells you about the written portion of test questions beforehand. MCQs in tests are from textbook readings. Hard to access outside of lectures - rarely reads emails. A lot of assignments are thrown at you after midterm 2, so it's important to start doing them beforehand. Better to connect with TAs as they do the marking for assignments, especially.

Great prof but doesn't read any emails or bump up peoples grades

She has a passion for her work. Her TAs are harsh graders but her exams are pretty straight forward if you study the lectures and READ the textbook given. EMPHASIS ON READ AND WATCH. Most of her questions come from movies you watch throughout the course and from textbook chapters. Overall, she's good at teaching and very funny lol

she is such a sweet prof and actually wants her students to do well. she holds q&a's before every test and tells you exactly what she is looking for. if you keep up with lectures you will do well in class

Dr. Ro is a very caring professor. She did an amazing job teaching research methods. She commented that she changed the structure of the course, and it turned out to be excellent. There was a lot of engagement in the class, and it was interactive. She is very caring and accessible!

Dr. Ro is a great lecturer who tries her best to help students succeed (provides exam guidance/hints, lots of opportunities for incomplete/complete assignments). However, she is extremely disorganized and often unclear. A lot of instructions/exam hints were given VERBALLY in class and rarely in writing, making it unsettling/confusing at times

Dr. Ro offers a Zoom review session where she explains all the short-answer questions on the midterm. All you have to do is memorize it and then get lucky on the multiple-choice question. I was able to get an A- by studying only the night before on all three midterms and the final.

no one teaches this class better than Dr Ro. she chose such an interesting topic for this class and the discussions and class activities were very engaging. overall such a fun class especially during the facilitated discussion weeks. doing this as an intersession was quite intense tho so prepare to read a lot and participate a lot in class.

She was a great in the lectures, clearly knows her stuff. She is kind in her office hours and you can tell she truly cares.

Dr. Ro is very passionate and obviously cares about what she's teaching. lectures can go buy really quickly tho and it's hard to keep up a lot of the time. but she has q&a's before each exam and is very friendly and approachable. i look forward to taking more classes with her in the future.

Love Dr. Tucker. She's fantastic. Had her as a prof twice now. HSCI 207 has an optional final. Slay

Amazing teacher, super approachable for any doubts. Her Tucker talks are very helpful, especially the ones she talks about med school and volunteer opportunities. I enjoyed her lecs, will definitely take another course with her

Dr. Ro is definitely one of my favourite professors; super kind, and caring! Lectures are VERY material heavy, however if you put in the efforts to attend lectures and tutorials, you'll breeze through. Additionally, she is super supportive by offering Q&As, which provides information for what is on tests. She is undoubtedly an amazing professor.

The course load and amount of assignments was a lot for a 200 level course. Lectures are quite heavy, tests are super fair, but assignments were a drag to do, considering how little they were weighted for the amount of work they were. All-in-all very informative class with a very kind professor, unfortunately the material was just not it.

As a first year student, Dr. Ro wasn't bad honestly. Lectures contain not a lot of info; majority of it is graphs and charts which you do need to know for the midterms and final but everything comes from the slides. She also puts stuff from the textbook so make sure u open that up cuz I didn't.

Amazing class

Dr. Ro is amazing! If you go to lectures and midterm/final review sessions you are guaranteed to succeed. Dr. Ro genuinely cares about her students and the content was also quite interesting. Would definitely take again.
