Dr. Shafir is great professor. Her lectures are very interesting and are engaging, she is very accessible outside of class and treats each of her students with a great amount of respect. Outside of attending/watching lectures, viewing the assigned materials, and doing an occasional discussion board, this class did not take up too much of my time at all, yet I still felt like I gained a lot by taking it. The main components of the grade are discussion boards, a midterm and final, and a paper. She also offers multiple opportunities for extra credit which were very helpful. I definitely recommend taking this course with Dr. Shafir.

Dr.Shafir is an engaging lecturer, who made every class interesting. Classes were recorded and attendance was not mandatory. A midterm, a final, 6 discussion posts, and a brief opinion editorial. It was very doable and lots of extra credit opportunities. I would recommend taking this class if you want an easy A!

Super great class! Great intro to public health, was what inspired me to pick up the minor. The professor is really engaging, makes jokes during lectures, and very sweet and understanding. Exams were straightforward.

Professor Shaffir has been one of the best professors I have had here at UCLA. She is so well informed about the material, and even though our lectures were almost 2 hours long, it was very interesting, and she let us have a break halfway through. She was accommodating to the protesting situation and offered many chances for extra credit. This class made me wish I was a public health major. I would 10/10 recommend this class.

Hands down one of the best (and easiest) classes I've ever taken at UCLA. Dr. Shafir was so funny and engaging, and most importantly, accommodating. All lectures were recorded and attendance was not mandatory. If you watched the lectures and took notes carefully I think you are guaranteed an A!

I loved this class and it will definitely be my favorite one at UCLA! Dr. Shafir is hands-down one of the smartest, funniest, passionate, and clear professors on campus. The class was SO informative - if you're going into healthcare or law or public health or literally anything you HAVE to take this class. I wish I'd taken it sooner. It didn't even count for any of my major or minor requirements but I'm so glad I took it. I really looked forward to lecture and all the course materials are free and the teaching team was very accommodating and sent out study guides and did review sessions. The both the midterm and final were multiple choice, very doable and most of the class got As on both. highly recommend taking this class with Shafir, she's the BEST

Completely asynchronous, one midterm, one paper, one final. Must watch all lectures. Take notes on the lectures, essentially everything written down, and you will get an A easily. Quite literally almost all of the questions are pulled from very specific parts of the lecture, so don't skip any. Would definitely take again, it just takes effort in order to get the notes down in preparation for the open note tests.

Although I expected the exams to be easier, they were manageable along with the other few assignments. She’s honestly a great professor and tries her best to accommodate to students needs. Plenty extra credit opportunities including some on the actual exams. Its a lot of information but I’d recommend it if you’re interested in public health.

Everyone says this class is easy but our exams were very difficult!! The average for the midterm was 80%. Although professor Shafir gave us 2 extra credit points, the midterm brought my grade down a lot. Otherwise, the final was a bit more easier, but still the questions involve application and they were tricky. Otherwise, there are so many TAs but they literally don't do anything. You don't even need them or meet with them. We also had a 500-700 word paper to submit, but if we did not like our grade we were able to rewrite it and submit it for half credit. Nonetheless, considering how many positive comments there are about this class, I was definitely annoyed about my midterm score.

Really informative and interesting class, just pay attention to deadlines because the asynchronous nature can make it easy to forget about them. Agree with everything said in other review!
