HS 100, Fall 2022
Dr. Ellis is an awesome professor who I would recommend to anyone. She is enthusiastic, cares about her students, and very interesting. She delivers material in a way that makes you want to listen and care about what she has to say.
HS 101, Spring 2023
Everyone who is a Health Studies major should take a class with Dr. Ellis at some point. She is an amazing professor, very kind and humble. She makes even the most boring topics interesting and her way of communicating keeps people engaged during the whole class. Her examples really stick with you as well.
HS 202, Spring 2023
Dr. Ellis is a very good teacher. Her lectures are clear and assignments are understandable. She is super nice and I looked forward to going to her class every Monday and Wednesday.
