Amazing professor I'm surprised by the negative comments. As a public health transfer, she's one of the best I've had. Lectures can be dense, but manageable if you stay focused and show up every week. Exams and assignments are fair and straightforward. If you attend, take notes, and engage, the class is interesting. I'd definitely take her again.

This course and it is content is very important for public health students, but I found the class was not worthy taking with this teaching style. Lectures relied heavily on dense slides, often had to reteach myself after class. The delivery made the course feel like a frustrating use of time.

A very knowledgable individual with valuable experiences and insight, and the least engaging professor, maybe ever. I'd like to recommend going to the lectures, as the topics are heavily discussed and expanded upon, but I myself could not sit through one in its entirety.

Take anyone but her. I'll give it to her, she has a lot of experience in the field, however, not a good professor. Very long classes, plus she speaks so MONOTONE! Genuienly she speaks at x0.5 speed (no joke). I physically couldn't sit through the class. Exams are v hard! Assignment was unnecessarily complicated. SO much info on the exam RUN!

Attendance is not mandatory, but if you don't show up then you're going to be behind in a lot of her classes. Her classes are boring, and her exams are hard because she puts every single thing she teaches onto the exams. Overall, she's not that bad of a professor and her assignments are not that bad if you do the tutorials. Watch out for the TA tho

This was easily one of the most frustrating and poorly structured courses I've ever taken. For an introductory epidemiology class, the difficulty level is completely unreasonable. The only way to pass feels like memorizing every single detail from 80+ dense, information-heavy slides, because exams expect extremely specific answers

Imagine sitting through hours of monotone talking while someone reads off extremely dense slides word-for-word. 40 slides somehow turns into a 3-hour saga. It's honestly impressive.

The grading scheme is so brutal. Your entire mark comes down to three things: midterm, assignment, and final. That's it. Each is worth a huge chunk, so if you mess up even one, good luck recovering.

Dr Tustin has amazing experience and really wants us to learn. The midterm was tricky, but everyone I know who shows up to class regularly and pays attention did well. The assignment was challenging because you have to think outside the box and apply everything from class and the tutorials but the TA helped me so much during office hours.

Take anyone else but her. Exams are extremely hard - extremely hard assignment with a TA who thinks she's the prof and marks so hard. The calculation on assignment was not taught or mentioned to us during any class - had nothing to do with this course. It was extreme calculations that we were “expected to know”. RUN!
