  • Listen/attend lectures and you will do fine. Two exams, and one big paper. Weekly reflections (literally take 10 minutes at most) and you only had to do 8 or 9 of the 10 reflections. Relatively valuable information if you are not going into geriatrics, and extremely valuable information if you are. I would recommend this class to anyone, especially if you have even a slight bit of background knowledge in health.
