If I wasn’t graduating, I genuinely would’ve taken Ma’am again 😭 She’s one of the nicest profs I’ve had, and honestly, easy A rin if you put in decent effort. At first, I thought a Health Literacy elective might feel too intimidating or overly technical, especially if you’re not from SOSE or related courses, but I ended up genuinely enjoying the class a lot. Ma’am is super approachable, considerate with deadlines if you ask nicely, and gives a lot of bonus opportunities during presentations that can really help pull your grade up. Here’s a more detailed review: LECTURES - Ma’am is very chill and doesn’t do random recits. She occasionally asks easy questions and waits for volunteers to answer. - She usually stays seated during lectures and mostly reads from her notes/PPTs. Depending on your learning style, this could either be okay or a bit of a downside. - Her slides can look overwhelming at first because there are a lot of frameworks, studies, and definitions, but TRUST — as long as you understand the core concepts and general ideas, you’ll survive. -Attendance isn’t strict at all. Late isn’t counted either. You literally just sign the attendance sheet as long as she hasn’t collected it yet. REQUIREMENTS - I’ll be honest the class can feel heavy at times because there are a lot of activities, group outputs, and presentations throughout the sem. -The biggest requirement is definitely the final project/presentation, which you gradually build over time. There’s a midsem presentation, then a final presentation at the end, plus a paper. Basically, your group has to identify a health issue and create an intervention program using the frameworks and lessons discussed in class. -Even if some activities felt tedious, they honestly helped improve the final group work. I think I also got lucky with my group because we crammed some requirements and still never got below a B+ (and I think mostly A range talaga). - Her quizzes and tests are easy if you study. Mostly multiple choice and true/false. The only downside is that they’re pretty objective, so sometimes you really have to memorize definitions or specific wording from the slides. - BUT one thing I appreciated is that quiz content literally shows up again in the midterms/finals 😭 Not exaggerating. So if you studied for the quizzes, you already have free +10 points secured. Overall, she’s one of those profs who’s very manageable grade-wise while still making you learn a lot. As someone from a completely different course, I’m really glad I took this class. It ended up being one of the more enjoyable electives I’ve had, and having good groupmates definitely made the experience even better 🩷more
