David Torres is really really passionate about the course material, and while there is a lot of reading he does a good job at linking all the concepts together and explaining why they are important given the overall theme of global health. I think this is a necessary introduction class if you want to gain a better understanding of global health at a foundational level.
Pam Berenbaum is one of the kindest and most understanding professors at Middlebury. She is extremely accommodating towards students needs, assigns a manageable amount of work, and teaches an engaging class.
While there was really nothing wrong with this course, it wasn't anything over the top. Byrne is knowledgeable but sometimes unenthusiastic. The course is writing and discussion based and did not require much work until a very long final paper, presentation, and take home exam all due around the same time. Very very similar to the Environmental Health course - you don't need to (and shouldn't) take both.
