Lee really cares about her students and really seems to enjoy teaching. The aerobics class was super easy, all that was needed was effort and being there. Quizzes and tests online. Just show up and youll pass.

Comment:

TAKE this class if you are ready to workout and get in condition. DO NOT take if intense workouts are not for you. However, I definitely recommend everyone to take Lee's class and challenge yourself. Participation is a requirement, but everyone is given 2 excused absences. Easy online quizzes with 2 attempts for each. Online midterms and finals.

Lee is awesome. She is super caring and really makes everyone feel like they can do all things! This Aerobics class was so much fun and not super hard! It felt really good waking up in the morning and starting my day with this class. All you have to do is show up and do your best!

TAKE HER. Even if you aren't overly athletic, Lee goes out of her way to make every student feel comfortable. The only outside assignments are quizzes (and you get two chances). Very easy A and genuinely a good time

Best aerobics instructor ever. Would take again. Very enthusiastic and funny. Makes doing aerobics seem less like exercise. Makes you do easy, simple 5 question quizzes. In person midterm, online final. Amazing person.

Amazing prof. Always laughing and full of life. Her workouts are intense and seriously put you into shape so the class is SO worth it. Does' pressure you and respects that some students are shy about dancing so you never feel uncomfortable in class. Exams are a bit much though. They aren't hard but just cover a lot of material for a 1 unit class.

she is super funny and sweet. She knows how to dance for sure and gives a great workout class. I would take her again. She is not pushy and makes sure everyone is having fun. She makes working out fun.

As someone who hates working out, I hated the idea of having to take a kin class, but I loved every minute of Lee's class! She's so much fun, upbeat, and positive. She never criticized or was breathing down your neck or made me feel self-conscious. She explained everything step by step. I took both KIN 31 & 32 with her. Amazing professor.

She is genuinely caring! You can miss two days of class without penalty. Her workouts are intense. Quizzes everyday. 1 Midterm, 1 Final. Super easy, nice and fun! We also had 2 outside assignments, but you finish those in less than 10 minutes. TAKE HER!! You won't regret it!! I feel like her favorite exercises involved squats and leg days LOL.

Lee Pate is probably my favorite professor at SJSU! Not only is she super energetic, but she makes this class really fun and enjoyable. This class is very similar to Zumba or U-Jam, so if you enjoy those types of dance workouts, you'll enjoy this class!

Such an awesome teacher. She's really great, funny, and awesome. A highly recommended class. She allows 2 absences and there are only 2 basic multiple choice tests. Would recommend maybe sharing the textbook among 2 or 3 people. It's not really necessary! You should take her, it's a good time!

She's hilarious, fun, and will work you out. She's been teaching zumba and other fitness classes for many years. Be prepared to dance in Kin 32, she models the routines in the front so you can follow along. A textbook is required for the midterm and final.

Pate is awesome! She doesn't look old (certainly doesn't dance like it) and she has so much energy that it really pumps you up! I wasn't all that enthusiastic to dance, but she really made it fun! Super easy class and awesome professor

Very intense but rewarding and fun class, definitely the toughest in terms of physicality but you build up alot. fun workouts, great attitude, worth every second, and she will push you over your limits sometimes. don't compare to others, just focus on your own improvement and you will see a difference pre and post test

Obsessed with her class! I have taken two of her classes now and I wish I could take more. She is so energetic and so fun and you're actually getting a real workout and seeing a difference no matter what class you're taking. TAKE HER!

This class was completely amazing. It pushes your limits and you build so much strength, endurance, and just about anything else you can think of. Shes encouraging and is willing to help you out if you have difficulties with keeping up. Definitely should take her for Body Sculpting. Shes hot and helps with the working !!

Intense workouts, but they make you feel AMAZING after! I loved this class, Lee was so motivating! It's really hard at first, but once you get through the semester it gets better and you'll see results real soon. :)
