Robin Roth

Class & Content: Robin makes this very intimate, and sometimes intimidating, class very comfortable. This class can be extremely invasive. Be prepared to share your personal "her-story" (play on hiStory) on topics such as weight, STDs, birth control, self-image, abuse (physical and mental), and menstruation. Of course, Robin does not make it mandatory to share anything you do not feel comfortable with and anything you tell her is in strict confidentiality. I did shed a few tears hearing about other womens' personal struggles with spousal abuse, drug abuse and abortion.

Grading: I took this class a few semesters ago so my memory is a little sketchy on the specifics. But I was unable to do the final project which was to work on a personal goal for yourself and strive to make changes to something in your life. I emailed Robin and she gave me a C in the class since I did so well on the quizzes and other assignments. This a very easy class but for me, most importantly, it was what I learned that made going to class a joy.

I highly recommend taking Robin's Heath 25 class. No complaints.

Robin is a great teacher for this course. It's an easy A if you keep up with the straight forward work that is asked of the students. The textbook is Our Bodies, Ourselves which has been around for decades. My mom had a copy from the 70's. It's a great book to own, but I didn't feel like it was used much. I fell behind in the reading, but it didn't matter. There are two very easy papers due. One at mid terms and one at the time of the finals. There is a final, but not to worry. If you pay attention, its a breeze. All multiple choice. This class is one that I HIGHLY reccomend for any and all women wishing to know more about their bodies. It's a great class to fill your health requirement. I do not suggest taking it if you are male, however. All girls in my class made it very relaxed. DON'T think that you will be able to add this class. No one seems to drop. Get this class asap, you won't regret it.
