Very down to earth dude. However, his tests are quite difficult, so make sure you study as much as you can. The main project for his class is difficult as well; I felt like I was wasting my time.

Awesome guy. Study for a couple hours before the test and you'll pass easily. The material is literally straight out of a 9th grade health book.

Comment:

Absolutely one of thee worst professors I ever had. He is not understanding when unexpected family matters happen. He doesn't know how to control the class so you have to fight to hear him over the students talking. Doesn't explain much when it comes to projects. If you can avoid him avoid him at ALL costs. He's a horrible professor.

Honestly I dreaded this class, I would not recommend that anyone take him for health. It's not that I believe that he is a bad person just not a great professor. His tests seemed so off topic and VERY few in the class did well on the exams. I would not take this class again. Attendance is necessary to pass & the book was not needed once.

Comment:

Not a good teacher, grading procedures are not clear, left the class knowing no more than the knowledge I came in with, tells pointless stories, and course organization makes no sense. Basically, I wish I hadn't taken the course.

His tests are impossible. No one in my class received above a 65% on all of his tests. He makes you do a journal throughout the semester though that brings up your grade.

Comment:

Dr. Crider is a very nice person but is a health instructor; not a teacher. The presentations are tricky to get a hold on but he gives you a guide to sum up what you learn in class. He tends to confuse his students and not really answer the question when in class. Just get through the class with a positive attitude and you will do fine.

Possibly one of the best teachers in Pa. He tells stories but they are about how class work will relate to life. People cry about him but half of them did show up to class or try.

Comment:

Don't buy the book, not worth it. Pretty decent class just show up and pay attention and you'll do fine. Journals are %10 of your grade I think and they help for people who arent good with tests. Class isn't bad I wouldn't mind taking it again.

Comment:

Quite possibly my least favorite professor I've ever had. Consistently would ramble and never taught useful information. I went into this class expecting to learn about a field that could be of use. Instead I left with little to no useful information. Don't bother taking a Crider class as you'll learn more about him then the course information.

Comment:

He's a nice guy, and he knows his stuff, but his notes don't really flow. It's easier to just read his powerpoints online. Most of the information is common knowledge, but he makes a lot of trick questions. He isn't very clear in what he's saying a lot of the time, but he seems like a nice guy, and it's not a hard class. The iclicker is unnecessary

Crider is perfectly fine for Social Dance. The class doesn't involve too much as it is, and he doesnt overdo anything. Show up to class, and you will have no problem getting a good grade. If you get involved, you will have fun too.

Comment:

I took tai chi for personal defense and loved it. You have to go to class because he expects you to know all the moves and be able to do them without thinking too much about it. Overall, he is reasonable and fair, but watch out for his tests- you have to read the book because they're on things you don't go over in class.

Comment:

The clickers he used sucked, and the class was way too boring to sit there for two hours straight. Take the two day class if you get a choice. Nice guy, grades with a curve, and adds in extra credit after the curve. Only 3 tests and a "behavior change assignment". Easy if you do the assignment, and show up. I reccomend him for this class.

Comment:

He is way too obsessed with Tai Chi. He basically expects you to be at a professional level. The midterm was ridiculous and you had to read the entire book that he wrote. Take another class, it's not worth the effort.

Comment:

Had to buy expensive health book for one credit gym class and take quizzes on nutrition and health. Already took health, so this added a lot of extra work to a one credit class.
