Comment:

This professor is great, she cares. If you mess up or forget to do something dont expect to be given leeway, but if you stay on top of all your work, do the extra credit and apply yourself, you should have a great semester with Mrs. Erfurt and be able to achieve that A.

Comment:

I took this class online, and yes, it is very reading-heavy. I do work full time (55 hrs/week) but with A LOT of time-management, I was able to get all her discussions and readings done. She's not a tough grader, I think she just really likes honesty in the posts. Quizzes are once a week, and you get extra credit for using the virtual study guide

Avoid unless you have nothing else going on in your life but school. Not recommended for students who have jobs, families or other life responsibilities. Unnecessarily rigorous and Barb can be a bit harsh. You've been warned.

Comment:

This online course is work heavy but doable. A few big problems with this class. The Prof makes students use two diff platforms and not the school's Canvas system. TOP HOT, not only sucks to use but you have to buy the Professors $55 online textbook through there to complete homework. Making students use a diff program to then profit off of them?

Great class, you get a lot out of Health 104, Prof. E. was very straight forward with what to expect from the course, was doubting in the beginning if taking this class or not but i'm happy i did, it was a lot of work since it was winter semester but very easy process, of course a lot of reading but easy overall.

Comment:

Prof. E was a straight forward grader and kept you in the loop throughout the course. You never had to worry about where you stood because she always kept you in the loop. She pushes hard to gain participation but grades fairly if your teammates don't cooperate.

i dont understand how anyone could give her a good review. this class was torture for me. this class is for people who are not taking any other class, not working, and basically have nothing to do all day & can sit & study 24/7. worst class i have taken in my life. my biology class was easier. regret taking it & failing. avoid avoid avoid

Tons of busy work. You don't need to give an excessive amount of assignments to justify your job. The assignment locations would change. The professor stated all work is on the google doc, then it would be on canvas, then a shared Google drive. Stick to 1 format. Instead of learning the subject matter I basically got through it. No fun

This is a tough class. if you expect that this is a class to help you increase your GPA , you are wrong . You need to work for it. I enjoyed the class and most likely Professor Erfurt. She answered my questions anytime I emailed her and gave good feedback. She did make me delete few things but appreciated the work. overall awesome teacher. BEST

Comment:

Unreasonably difficult class. Poor communication from the professor's side. Given that I was taking an online class I would expect more communication via email, but nope.. she wasn't very approachable and made it clear she doesn't want us to email us unless it's an emergency. And even in case if that (say links didn't work) she would blame you..

When I took this class, I thought it would be easy, but it is NOT! Do not take her at all, I am serious. She has these participation assignments where students have to make their own quiz questions and picks these random made questions for the midterm and final. Then expects us to study dozen responses... yeah, she was my first class i got out of.

I dropped the class after 3 weeks & I got my first W because of HER! Her tests are so difficult. She is not fair with her grading, which made me give up. I am a straight A student, but I was not able to even pass the first quiz because she makes her tests SO HARD. If you can take someone else for Health, I suggest you do.

Comment:

HORRIBLE professor. There is no grade breakdown, DIDNT EVEN TELL YOU WHEN YOUR MIDTERM IS TILL THE WEEK OF, still don't know when the FINAL is. extremely arrogant, condescending, rude, unhelpful and unapproachable. If you are reading this, Erfurt, please learn how to better serve your students. How do you not tell students when their exams are?

Took this class because I work and have a very busy schedule. It has been HORRIBLE. I would not recommend her to anyone. She comes off extremely cocky and rude, talks down to you in pop chats. She does random pop quizzes that send notification to your phone and there's no excuse if you miss them.

This class really taught me a lot about nutrition, Her online quizzes aren't hard but the midterm and final are! If u really love nutrition this shouldn't be a problem. I enjoyed her class and I would recommend this class if u are really interested in becoming a dietitian

I've learned a lot during Ms. Erfurt's class Health 104. She is an awesome professor. You need to work in her class, but believe me it worth it. She is one of the best.

tough grader and she is also very arrogant(my personal thought) too. And also if you take online class, don't even think it is gonna be easy class. you have to read whole book and also watch videos. You have to put many time on it. I don't think this class is not worth to put your time. I recommend you to choose another professors.

Great teacher, great class!!! Strict, but not at all unfair. Expects you to behave like an adult. Textbook was optional (which was awesome) and lectures were all via video. Several different options to earn points in the class so you can choose what works best for you. Laziness will NOT work in this class!! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
