Very easy class with an entertaining instructor. Prok is a funny and smart teacher who always had a story to tell and knew what he was talking about. The only problem is that your grade will be affected if you don't show up or forget to do your weekly article. Other than that, the class is definitely worth taking.

Professor Prok is hilarious and a great Professor. He is passionate about what he teaches, not only that, he cares about his students. He wants his students to be successful in life and wants his students to take care of themselves. Especially their mental health. I learned quite a bit from his First Aid class.

The class had some really helpful and beneficial lectures on the different parts and systems of the human body that related to the hands on part of the course. The class was fun and very interesting. Overall average in regards to home work and difficulty. Attendance and participation of in class work assignments are mandatory and fairly easy.

He talks a lot, class is lecture heavy and participation counts. He has a funny sense of humor but it makes the class and lectures go faster.

Good Professor but he can be long winded at times. He has set standards for attendance and no late work. But he's got a great sense of humor and cares about his students.

Mr. Prok, may seem odd at first but he really is passionate about his craft, he really does care about his students. He will challenge you and motivate you. He knows how to relate life experiences to his lessons and at times he gets side tracked but it still correlates. He makes class go by fast. As long as you do the work, you'll pass.

Comment:

It was an easy class. He discusses the entire body and describes how each part connects and effects the other parts. Homework is once a week, you review a medical news report or technique, there is one research project at the end. I recommend going.

Enjoyed the class. As an older student I really enjoyed the practical application of the course and how it crossed over with my Anatomy Physiology class. It was a good fit for me. Mr Prok is a good teacher and cares about his students. He will work with you. The class is fairly easy providing you show up do the work and complete all assignments.

I took Prok for First aid/CPR and his class was fun and easy! Attendance does matter but its such an easy class its almost hard to fail. He will try his best to work with you in any way he can. He will almost always be a little late but he does not have a 15 minute rule!

Comment:

He is very inspirational towards his students. Was a nursing major and he completely inspired me to go into the field of sports medicine. I am super glad I've taken his class. He may talk about real life situations quite a bit, but he knows his stuff. If you are a tobacco user, be ready to get his incite on tobacco products. He cares for students.

I took him for two classes. Found both classes too be very good. As a result I am now pursuing the fitness professional program with him. He possess a wealth of knowledge on the subjects that he teaches. I very much enjoy the practical examples that he sites through his personal experiences. The reality factor of his teaching is very helpful

Comment:

Not a very helpful class. He tends to drone on and on about his personal experience, while glossing over the actual class. I didn't find him to be much of a teacher, but rather, he seems to fancy himself an story telling inspiration. The class is easy because there's not much going on.

Comment:

Took him for First Aid since it's required for Nursing. He's basically a walking encyclopedia. He's full of knowledge. Absorb as much as you can from him because he's a great teacher. Class is not hard if you do your part. Show up, turn in articles on time and in proper format and listen in class to pass your tests.
