Review:
This class was a good time, and secretly, we learned some things along the way. Woodin throws in lots of stories from both his family life and his work as an epidemiologist, and lectures get repetitive at times. However, those concepts he keeps harping on do pop up on the problem sets. Class notes are provided, but paying attention and making note of relevant examples helps with the problem sets. I enjoyed this class a lot more than I thought I would.

Workload:
Four problem sets, fairly graded but strictly graded-- watch your wording. Take-home final exam, and a final project that involves breaking down an epidemiological study. All of this is done in groups of 3-4 students, so pick your peers wisely.

Review:
Woodin's personal involvement and enthusiasm for the course is evident. Classes are laced with personal stories and experiences in the field of epidemiology. Class was taught in a lecture style, with no class involvement. Questions were answered, often with a touch of sarcasm or teasing. Still, Woodin is funny and engaging.

Workload:
I felt like I learned very little in this class simply because we didn't actively take notes because they were all given to us at the start of class, in an overhead packet, which he followed to a "T". Also, all assignments (3-4), including the take home final, were done in a group of "fellow epidemiologists".
