Kevin Glasz PHSC497 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 03/30/2025	Professor Glasz was nice, but he wasn't a good professor. He had very little to teach, but still did a bad job teaching it. This class doesn't actually teach any new content - everything you learn has been covered in prior public health classes. It only exists to require you to write the thesis, and Professor Glasz's only job was basically to be a writing coach. Even there, he wouldn't do well. He would leave comments using speech to text and not proofread his feedback, so sometimes you'd get comments that didn't make sense. He'd also return draft feedback so late that you wouldn't have time to make change before the next draft was due. In class, he was extremely slow. He would pull up the class syllabus and run through it during class as if he wasn't even confident in what he was supposed to be teaching that day. Other than student presentations, there's no reason for this class to be as long as it is, but we'd still rarely get out early. He also moved classes online for six weeks in the middle of the semester so he could travel to tiny islands in the middle of the Pacific and relax while the rest of us were busy writing the most important paper of our college career, which doesn't exactly improve my opinion of him.
Kevin Glasz PHSC497 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/19/2024	Professor Glasz was a great capstone professor! He set the class up well, where he taught about components of the paper as you developed your topic and wrote your paper. There were "public health in the news" presentations and other assignments that were pretty easy. He is a pretty easy grader but strict on things like APA format and citations. If you ever need help, he is very willing to answer any questions or meet outside of class time! There are multiple assignments like the introduction and rough draft for your paper, but at some point, they die down and it is on you to keep up with your paper, so try not to procrastinate! There are multiple days toward the end of the semester where he makes them self-work days so no in-person class, and there was no class after turning in the final draft of the paper, which was right before Thanksgiving break, so the class "ended" early which was nice to focus on other classes for finals. Prof glasz clearly wants his students to succeed, and I would definitely recommend him for capstone!
