Prof: Geraldine Voros / Winter 2023

Overall a pretty good course, and one that's easy to do well in. 20% of your grade is attendance/participation in weekly tutorials. You're evaluated on one essay, one presentation, and a final exam that's online and open book, so it's not very difficult to get a 12 with a little effort on these 3 projects.
The content was super interesting to me, you learn a lot about the medical field through a social science perspective. We talked about current health issues in the news, and factors that contribute that contribute to health inequities in society. There are assigned weekly readings, however the entirety of the lecture content is just explaining them, and so I didn't actually find it necessary to read them.
Dr. Voros is an amazing prof and part of the reason I picked this course. She's super kind, and makes it clear she wants you to succeed in the course and isn't there to trick you.
This was my first course in the socsci field, and I guess I was just more aware how subjective marking can be. So I would advise anyone to listen to their TA's feedback carefully.
