She is a very professional and fair professor, and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. She is very knowledgeable and engaging, and I look forward to taking another class with her in the future.

She will listen to everyone's answer when it comes to classroom discussions.
Well organized, extremely knowledgeable about the material, enthusiastic, and very well in communicating and breaking down course material for students to understand it.
She's a really fun and great teacher and she encourages and invites everyone in the class discussion and she created a fun and safe environment where I felt that I could speak up and ask questions.
she is a nice lady and i am taking class from her next semester!
She really believes in what she is teaching. Her class was very enjoyable, something i actually want to learn. I enjoy how she sets the curriculum to match up with the time of year, that really helps to prepare us and opens our eyes to much ignored but useful information.Like STDs during valentine, or Alcohol consumption during Spring Break- Now we can't say you never warned us!
great professor
she is a very interesting and excited teacher i would defiantly take another of her classes
Great teacher
Dr. Mossakowski was a great instructor. Her presentations were very interesting with a lot of humor. She is very energetic and clear with her teaching. Made me want to come to class every time.
Excellent teacher. I really enjoyed her class discussions. She gave great lectures, which were enjoyable. They were never boring, and made you want to go to class.
She is an excellent teacher! Very knowledgeable and has great teaching style.
She is a great teacher. Her lectures were perfect for the class time and was well organized. I always felt that we got things done and there were rarely times that I felt rushed in class. If I had the option, I would take this class again or classes taught by Krysia.
That she is a professor who understands her material.
Great class. Krysia knew every students name in a large lecture class, which is impressive. She was very empathetic to her students and an engaging lecturer
good at teaching this class
She's one of the best professors I've had. She explains things clearly and encourages classroom interaction.
is great
Krysia was is a great educator because she had a great knowledge and understanding about the material in the class and she communicated very effectively. I really enjoyed learning and attending her class.
she is wonderful, enthusiastic teacher that i would love to take another class from
Came to class everyday with speech and powerpoint ready and organized!! Always had very helpful explications of all material to help learn it! One of the best sociology teachers I had! I am so thrilled with her teaching skills I will be looking foward to seeing her again next semester! SHe is very prepared and easy to understand! Very patient with the students who outburts in class with irrelevant answers. She is very smart and has a wonderful grading system with the tests so that as the course prorgresses the tests get worth more, which is very smart!

A fair and well prepared course, with plenty of opportunity to gain points and perform well. She has a good system set up for attendance and the tests. The power points are clear, and the videos are relevant and interesting. The in-class assignments are engaging.
I really like the class, it is interesting to hear about medical issues that plague society from a sociology perspective.
Very well structured.
I liked it a lot. This is my second class with Professor Mossakowski and both times I left the class more interested and knowledgeable about medical sociology.
The course is filled with medical terminology and Krysia makes the terminology easier for the students to grasp.
Great course.
great course! i learned a lot!
Excellent class would definitely recommend to my peers and friends especially if taught by her.
amazing
the course is interesting some parts are dry and hard to get through but overall all of the information was interesting and presented in a way that kept me interested
This course was great. I hope Dr. Mossakowski will continue teaching this course. The topics covered were diverse and allowed critical thinking. I liked how the exams were non-cumulative too.
Interesting. It made me think more about how sociology should be studied more in medicine.
I learned so much from this course very interesting and I feel I will use everything I learned in this class in my future job.
Many interesting materials covered throughout this course. Great class that can teach you many fascinating things that are important to society and to your personal life.
Professor Mossakowski did a great job this semester. Her lectures were very informative and interesting.
I enjoyed the materials assigned in this class and the class discussion. It was interesting hearing about other students backgrounds and ideas on the subjects.
good insight
Medical sociology is very relevant to my life. There were a lot of sociological factors in the medical field that I was not aware off before I took this class.
This course was great because it has not only taught my a great number of valuable things but has also raised my awareness and behavior about how important our health really is.
interesting material that was made better by the professor
Awesome, I learned a lot of things I had no idea about. The material and Krysia's comments always had me thinking about it days after class about how it related to my life and society. BRILLIANT!
good for students who want to learn about the medical side to sociology.
15. Other comments:

An extremely knowledgeable instructor. I would definitely recommend her to other students.
Great professor, one of the best I have ever had. I would take another class from her, as long as it has the same teaching style.
Very good. She's a great edition to the UH Manoa Sociology department.
The material was presented well and she had a very good knowledge of the material. She also explained it clearly and efectively.
Fantastic; glad to have had her as a professor this semester
Dr. Mossakowski is a wonderful lecturer- her talks are always interesting and engaging. She is very engaged with social issues - theory is alwasy connected to real life implications.
She is a good teacher with power point presentations that get her message across.
excellent professor who gives excellent lectures and is very helpful to her students during the lectures and when writing a research paper.
one of the best instructors i came across like my previous topguns like, Porfessors Haija, Edwards, Wood,Johnson and Oneill.Mossakowski is the same..All of them 5 stars and two thumbs up!!!..no doubt!!!,..mahalo..
She was very helpful in helping me narrow down a topic for my final paper. She knows her material, knows where to find help for finding information that she doesn't know. Very easy to communicate with.
She is a very knowledgeable teacher and knows what she is talking about. She made class fun and I looked forward to coming to class.
She is very motivated and encouraging.
awesome teacher and UHM should be very happy to have her! she is able to share her knowledge about medical sociology which we don't understand well, but is able to expand students understanding about society and peoples environment.
Very intelligent.

Amazing course! The UH Sociology dept. should have more Medical Sociology, Sociology of Medicine, Health related sociology courses!

I enjoyed learning the content provided in the course.
great course with a great teacher
18. Other comments:
I will be taking Dr. Mossakowski's SOC 354 class next semester
I think focus on the paper should have been emphasized a bit earlier in the semester (this is hawaii, where people are often on hawaiian time, after all), but otherwise the course was great. I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in health/medicine or social inequality/justice issues.
recommendations:10/10..
