| Take this course! Super interesting and interdisciplinary. Dr. Williams is a legend in this field and a wealth of knowledge. Not very labor intensive assignment wise which is a huge bonus. |
| Lecture can be tedious but you will not regret showing up to class! It makes the writing prompts so much easier than trying to sift through hundreds of lecture slides when it comes time for essays. |
| Take it. Best class at Harvard. Will balance out a harder course load and be your most interesting class at the same time. Necessary for anyone interested in medicine in any way, and teaches about racism on a scale that extends far beyond the healthcare system. |
| The content, assignments, and readings are the best part of this course. Lectures and sections are the worst (lectures always go overtime and often the professor reads off the slides). I am unlikely to recommend it, but found the materials outside of class very interesting. |
| I feel like this is a very basic, introductory class to the social determinants of health. The professor spends the entire 2.5 hours lecturing, so if you want a class where you can be super involved, I do not recommend. Otherwise, the course material is interesting and the assignments are really easy, so if you want a GEM, I would recommend this for sure. |
| I would tell students to absolutely take this course! The workload is overbearing and the material is very interesting. However, understand that this class is a 2–hour lecture which isn't an ideal learning environment for everyone. |
