The course material was quite depressing. I was really hoping in learning more about what can be done to combat these disparities, rather than just read about injustice after injustice. It just became emotionally draining for me. Also, I’m not a fan of the way Professor Torres lectures. Most of the time he would just talk about the assigned readings.

Overall the class itself was not difficult, just a lot of depressing readings, and lecture felt unstructured.

this class is an easy A if you keep up with the reading and actually try on the assignments. There is a lot of reading, but the writing assignments that went along with the reading were very helpful in solidifying my understanding of the material.

Prof. Torres is a very passionate teacher who has tons of knowledge about global health! However, he does drone on and on about topics and at times, it is definitely boring. But with that being said, I would highly recommend taking this course if you are looking to gain a writing credit as there are only 2 writing assignments he gives all semester long, and he is very willing to help you to any extent you need to ensure you end with at least an A-.
