• Course should be much less time consuming than it is. I am in engineering and this takes much more time than it should. You get 4 health portfolios that are worth 10% each and they are absolutely painful to complete. All three sections are about the lectures and ask you what did you find interesting and how will it impact your behavior. The amount of thought that the prof put into this is actually painful to think about. Sounds easy however, it is a subjective thing and the TAs will not give out high marks regardless what effort you put. In fact so many people in the class were questioning what involves a 90% grade. Do not take this as it is not a bird course because the Prof and TAs take…

• Honestly, if your looking to take this course as a bird class, its very easy. The syllabus is 25% online quizzes (free marks), 5% free mark bio blogs, 40% portfolios (easy writing assignments), and a 30% exam that is all multiple choice (very easy even with no studying). You can take this course and guarantee a grade of 80 with the bare minimum effort.

• This course is a very broad introduction into all aspects of health including physical health, mental health, social health, nutrition, and more. I wouldn't say this is entirely a "bird" course, because the TA's can be a bit tough when marking - but overall, if you read the modules and put a little effort in the assignments, you will be fine. I didn't have to put a lot of work in each week for this course, and it also wasn't completely brain-numbing to do the coursework. I actually found myself interested in the content it made myself a bit more health conscious. Also, Dr. Laura Williams is one of the ONLY online professors who actually seems to care about her job. It's a low bar, but…

• The class is split up into different lectures for each topic of focus. There is an online weekly reading and quiz that is supposed to be done before each lecture, and the content is pretty interesting and easy to grasp. The quizzes are also very simple, normally out of 10 multiple choice questions. There are three portfolios that are done throughout the term, and the first two are pretty easy but the last one is more intensive. Lecture attendance is mandatory, but the lectures are interesting, laidback, and sometimes interactive. Overall a pretty easy and interesting class.
