Comment:
Dr. Hood is a fantastic prof. He really takes the time to explain concepts and teaches in a really understandable way. Graded on two midterms, a cumulative final, and labs. His midterms were pretty easy, and his final was more difficult. The tests are multiple choice and T/F, and quite tricky! An amazing guy, really cares about the students.

One of the best profs Ive had in my 4 years here. Very clear at lecturing, has the best explanations. Talks clearly and with purpose. Made me love exercise physiology. One lecture was even recorded without audio on accident, and Dr. Hood went back and re-recorded the lecture on his own time. Phenomenal prof, handful of greatest

Dr. Hood is extremely interesting and makes the lectures fun! The lectures were not boring at all and the labs are well developed. His tests are fair and have half multiple choice questions and half true and false. I liked this course much more than KINE3020.

Hood knows his stuff and is very passionate about physiology and teaching it. He explained all concepts very well and his tests were doable. But can come across as a bit arrogant.

Amazing professor! His teaching style is clear and informative. He tells you exactly what you need to know. He makes hard concepts easy to understand, and interesting. His midterms are fair. One of my favourite professors. Other profs, take notes!

The legend himself! Dr. Hood was a terrific professor and I would love to take a course with him again! No textbook required, makes difficult concepts short and sweet and makes sure you fall in love with Physiology. Fair midterms and exam!!!

This was one class I looked forward to every day. He made even difficult concepts seem super easy. He was willing to answer any questions. Would definitely take a class with him again. Do not overestimate yourself however, study thoroughly for the final to get an A+. Midterms were easy.

Hood is a great prof but I don't recommend kine 4040 because of how it is marked. The average was so low for the class and everyone was complaining for how the TA marked the midterms. I have never received less than A in all my four years but I got B+ in this course.

Never a dull moment in his lectures. I truly enjoyed each and every one. His teaching style sprinkled in with his humor and jokes make them memorable. Not only that but he is clear, concise and to the point with his explanation of even the most complicated concepts. Tests are fair, final is definitely tougher. Keep up, study, ask questions.

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. He is very knowledgable, knows his stuff, very approachable. ATTEND lectures and take note, I believe he records the lectures so listen to them for sure and you can get A-A+. Material is interesting but you need to put in some work.

He is a great lecturer. It is a super interesting course. And he genuinely wants his students to succeed. He was upset when the average on a midterm was 72!

Material is presented clearly and his enthusiasm is great. You could tell he knows what he is talking about and loves his job. Tests are fair, an A is very attainable.
