Anthony Lombardo

The subject was straight forward but the delivery was extremely clustered and confusing. Deadlines were unclear and the professor is hard to reach, considering this was an online class it made it very difficult.

Pretty good prof. One brutal marker tho. He will rarely give full marks on even participation.

Engaging for an online class, despite having no lectures other than asynchronous reading modules. As someone with no health science experience (in Journalism), this course definitely eased me into scientific analysis. Inspiring for liberal arts students looking to expand their scholarly/research skills but don't really know where to start.

Meh professor. Also, if you're not interested in health promotion or community development, don't bother with this course as you have to put a lot of work for it.

Professor Lombardo is exceptionally informed on anything regarding his field, or the topic of gerontology. His assignments are straight-forward and he is a very fair grader. He cares immensely about his students and will grant extensions if needed. He is one of the best professor's at Ryerson and it was a pleasure to be in his class.

Best prof ever!! He knows the topic well and he participates in the discussion. Work wise it is heavy where you have to facilitate a discussion post and other stuff but overall amazing. Please best advice with him is the basic PEE format in writing. Point Evidence and Explain and you will do well. Don't over complicate your ideas.

He was easy, just have to work to get a good mark. Lots of written work, and has a very very clear grading scheme. I would take him again if I could.

Hes really nice. But makes you work for the mark you get. You cant just put minimum effort and expect to get an A. Really good prof, hope he taught for courses at Ryerson.

The course has heavy readings, 3-4 articles per week with each article approx 10-15 pages in length. Discussion board- as long as you participate, he gives you a perfect score. Be careful in what you post- it must not be stereotypical. The group work- It was very difficult, you need to summarize the article, and respond to almost every classmate.

After seeing the 20 percent participation, I thought this class would be an easy A... I was wrong. The course discussions were nice, it was really engaging and fun but his assignment details are very vague and he marks super hard. If you are passionate about community health development I would recommend this course but if you're not DO NOT!
