Dr.B is one of the best professors I've had during my short time here at UMD. This class requires you to put in effort, and come to class but you learn a lot. She tries her best makes the class interesting and relatively easy by keeping her students engaged, and allowing you to take quizzes/exams open note. She does not believe in testing from pure knowledge, which I really appreciate since I am not a good test taker.

Dr. B seems intimidating at first but is a kind and understanding professor. You will learn a lot in this class but be ready to put the work in.

HLTH200 is an easy A. As long as you attend class and pay attention, you'll do well. The quizzes and midterm/final exams are open-note, and the final research proposal is a culmination of previous assignments. Professor B is a lenient grader and fairly nice. Sometimes, she comes across as curt/ unapproachable, but don't be afraid to ask questions.

My grade at the end of this class was soul crushing. Like I actually went to talk to him about it and cried, he was absolutely horrible. A horrible lecturer, a horrible professor, just terrible in general. He gives these assignments that are worth about 10% of your grade but provides no real guidelines about how to do them, and then doesn't seem to understand why we all did poorly. Just so so bad. I don't care who else is teaching it, I don't care what the other professor's reviews say, don't take hlth200 with him take it with anyone else.

Although he was much better than the alternative professor (Voorhees), Dr. Boekeloo was a mess in terms of returning grades. There is one week left of classes and we still don't know 50% (or MORE) of our assignment grades. When he lectures the class is efficient and helpful, but many of the classes are group tasks and those felt like a waste of time. Also, he rarely, if ever, responds to e-mails so good luck getting any information from him that way.
