Good
Rosbruck's class is overall very easy, with many possibilities for extra credit. Everything you need to know she covers in her lectures, and you can also review the content with the textbook.
Awesome
Rosbruck made health class as simple as it could be. I attended the most of the lectures and thought them to be both informative and relevant. I didn't buy the textbook and was able to keep up just fine. The tests were a little difficult, but all of the information was taken directly from her slideshows. She offers a lot of additional credit, so you can get an A even if you only get Bs on all of your tests.
Average
Health Science is already a dull class. However, the exams were unnecessarily difficult. Some of the questions were statistics that are not useful to the class. Added that Professor Rosbruck is a cool person, but just not the best teacher.
Awesome
Professor Rosbruck's lectures were clear. Attendance is not mandatory but I suggest you still attend if you can. She gave me extra credit for attending the lecture. Assignments are on Pearson and are simple. The textbook is not required. Also, don't buy Pearson with the textbook for you to save money. Her exams are fair as well. You should study the slides very well and know the statistics. Statistics from slides are on the test. I suggest you do all the extra credits.
Good
Professor Rosbruck is genuinely invested in her students. She offers numerous opportunities for extra credit and grants extensions for nearly every assignment during the online transition. While her lectures are engaging, the tests can be surprisingly detailed and require thorough preparation. Despite assigning readings that might be overlooked by many, these readings prove beneficial for the exams. In essence, achieving an easy A is possible with a modest amount of effort.
Average
This professor's lectures is very boring. The exams focus way too much on tiny details that are only mentioned for a short time in class.
