Reviews
No required book since most of the readings were just pdfs that were posted on canvas. Discussion sections were mandatory since it was worth 10 percent of your grade to show up. First half of the class was mainly about focusing on different belief systems and the second half was applying it to medical scenarios.
This class was pretty fairly structured with readings every week that gave you an introduction of each topic. The lectures were not mandatory but were helpful in summarizing the readings. Section attendance was mandatory. The midterm and final were the same format and you were given a generous amount of time to complete them.
