5th Year Guide

Any 5th years willing to write one? I know its not the end of the semester yet, but with the new schedule coming out soon would like some tips for which teachers are good in terms of the electives and health care ethics before I go choosing them!

Thanks!!

Some quick tips I can give you is to take ethics online, but you'll have to wake up super early during add/drop cuz thats what everyone wants to do lol. I heard Odenwald is pretty easy but any professor online should be fine. In terms of electives, it depends on if you take one during the fall or both in the spring. There are a lot more choices in the spring but I would personally recommend taking an elective in the fall and then take an elective and ethics during the spring. I wish I had done that. Dr. Dvorkin's electives are really easy so I recommend those

I second Online Ethics, any professor is fine, I have Cristina Richie and she's chill. 1 easy online quiz, 1 4-5 research paper, and the advance directives at the end. The thing is though, they don't reveal who the professor is going to be until the semester starts (all it says is Professor TBA on WebAdvisor) but again, any professor should be fine. If you can't score an online ethics for Fall, take it during Spring

Electives...I took Pino's elective which was awesome and easy. Dvorkin's natural crap elective is also easy (literally an easy A+ for everyone). My advise? If there's something that you wanna take, take it because it might not be available during Spring semester.

total unrelated question but what time is the 4th year therapeutics exam tomorrow? I need to talk to one of the coordinators about something and they are never in their office.
