Dina Borzekowski HLTH200 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/14/2025	Dr. B is amazing. I do agree with other reviews that she can be intimidating at first, but she wants you to succeed. She is so beyond nice and one of the most intelligent professors I have ever had. I do recommend going to class since she did tell us she is changing the structure of the class. She is wonderful and always wants you to get better. On some assignments, she has given me full credit but still left suggestions or comments on how I can improve, since I technically meet all the assignment requirements. Overall, this professor is amazing and I would take any class if she was the professor.
Dina Borzekowski HLTH200 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/07/2025	Dr. B is very nice. She seems scary to approach, but she’s not. She genuinely wants you to learn and understand. I also learned so much in her class! It’s not often you can get taught and learn by a professor in college </3. She also would pause to check for understanding during class and provide really good examples. -Make sure you complete your Citi cert (just get it done and over with because you might forget) -Each assignment builds up on the other, so that’s easy -Open note quizzes every Friday -One final exam

Dina Borzekowski HLTH200 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/11/2023	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.

Dina Borzekowski HLTH200 Expecting an A+ Evelyn 01/06/2023	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.
Bradley Boekeloo HLTH200 Expecting a C Anonymous 06/01/2011	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.
Bradley Boekeloo HLTH200 PublicHealthMajor 05/05/2011	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.
