STUDENT COMMENTS
“I learned a lot from this course and have recommended it to many of my friends”
Public Policy Student
“I want to thank you for managing this on-line course. It is a unique set up with all of the interviews on tape and I think it was very successful!.…Although I have lots of speaking experience and my students might be surprized by this, I am really very introverted by nature. The thought of having to go out and approach strangers for class assignments was initially daunting and definitely out of my comfort zone. The rewards have been outstanding - from mango ice cream at the Indian run grocery store (I have returned for several refills) to the resources and contacts I have made here on Hawaii.” Thanks!
Physician and Public Health Student
“I felt yesterday like I had found myself in the middle of the "Well Founded Fear" video that we viewed in your course. An African patient whom I had only seen once before timidly told me that she has an asylum hearing next month and wanted to know if I could document her torture scars. If it hadn't been for your class I would have been pretty clueless. Instead I felt like I could do a pretty good job, though it was truly one of the hardest things I've ever had to do as a doctor.”

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the vast knowledge gained in this class and the opportunity to explore different aspects of culture, acculturation, and how this intersects with health and health care. The rich variety of viewpoints of others in this class has been an exceptional bonus."

"I am thoroughly enjoying your course…It makes me sad to think that this will eventually end. I have learned a great deal and am actively applying my knowledge at work…"
