Kendall Bustad PHSC440 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/20/2023	Great professor and easy class!! There was one small quiz (auto-graded, timed, 5 multiple choice questions) and one assignment each week. One class a week was for a lecture and the other class was for a collaborative activity, so you needed to come to class on the activity days but it was easy!(and you should go to lecture days for info in the quizzes) The midterm and final were both 2 application questions on a canvas open-note quiz that was not hard. Dr. Bustad clearly cared about your learning and made the class interesting, and the information is interesting too! She seems to grade pretty easily so the only thing that could really dock your grade would be getting quiz questions wrong which are mainly from the notes from lecture. She has clear expectations- if you submit stuff late or don't have an excused absence that is on you, but she seems to be willing to hear students out if talked to in advance. Easiest public health options course I've taken and definitely recommend it!

Had a family emergency and got a 0/10 for missing the deadline which made an A not possible for me. Quiz questions seem to be intentionally worded to be trick questions.
Kendall Bustad PHSC440 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2022	I've had Dr. Bustad for MIEH300 and PHSC440! Her course style is very easy to follow. She does a lecture, 1 quiz, and 1 assignment. As long as you take notes from her power points you will do good in the class. Dr.Bustad sometimes doesn't post her slides or will post partial slides because students choose not to come to class (esp for MIEH300). Its best to go to class in order to get all the notes! Overall, would recommend PHSC440. It's asynchronous, a small time commitment, and super easy to do!
