Great class. Highly recommend it to premeds.

Not the course I expected it to be, not a forum for personal discussions but an extensive study of articles. The exams are easy and Matt is a great TA.

My favorite class I have ever taken at UVA. Childress is amazingly important and well-known in his field and still finds time to be interested in undergrads. His lectures are captivating and I looked forward to discussing the issues further with my TA. I highly recommend Childress and this course.

Didn't really get much out of the lectures. Reading is critical. Discussion section was the best!

Childress is a really great lecturer, and Mark's an awesome TA.

Good class. Covers important ethical issues within medicine today

the topics were really interesting. the lectures are sometimes hard to follow unless you do all the reading beforehand but my TA was really good at synthesizing the lectures which was really helpful

This is an incredible class! The reading for the first week is most important; it gives you the terms you will use for the semester. After that...the readings are really only necessary for discussions. the midterm was straightforward..lots of material but if you did the study guide you will not be surprised by anything on the exam. Childress is so intriguing, the cases are interesting, and the TA's really care about you. Take this if you can.

Really fascinating class. Challenges your views and broadens understanding with the lens of bioethicists.

Very interesting class. I took it under the impression that it'd be my blowoff course, and that definitely hasn't been the case. It requires a lot of reading and you really need to know what the authors of the different articles think. Childress is very knowledgable in his field and even if you don't plan on using this course in your major, it helps you gain a greater understanding on medical-ethical issues.
