Comment:
I took this class at Embry Riddle online. This class is fairly simple as long as you do the work on time you will receive a good grade. He only has two exams a midterm and a final which are fairly easy but for me at least, the 90 minute time frame made me rush which made it a little harder. Gives you the exact format he wants for the papers.

Comment:
Dr. Ball is not good teacher. He is extremely unorganized and gave our papers back with handwriting that you literally cannot read, followed by apologizing because he graded them in a car? Weird. Not a fan of wasting my time but I had no idea he was going to teach this class that I needed for my major. Horrible experience, but definitely passable.

Comment:
Dr. Ball was an okay teacher. All he did was hand out papers and read from them. I could've done that myself. I pretty much taught myself by reading the book. Overall an easy class cause the tests were just the notes copied onto another paper.

Dr. Ball is a great teacher. If you show him that you are excited about the material and eager to learn he is very helpful, he has a great sense of humor and his class can be a lot of fun. His tests are pretty easy, if you pay attention in class and study a little you'll do great. Basically, take him.

Dr. Ball is a cool teacher. He explains all of the moves and exercises in full detail. I would recommend taking this class. Some of the things are really difficult but a very fun class!!!!!

Comment:
I had him for Kinesiology. It wasn't a great class and he didn't help much. It was clear that if you weren't female or on a sports team, you will have to work harder. A few times he said that if we all jumped into a pool, we would all float and he would sink because he is solid muscle and fat floats. Big jock ego on this guy.

The papers are a real drag and his personality is strange. He truly does run hot and cold and alittle to serious about rules like having to dress up cause he feels this class is student teaching. Class is ok overall but glad it's over.

He makes you do all this work and you kinda forget the experience is about working with the kids. It's just your typical college class in which you want to learn from it but everything is highly based on handing papers in. I wasn't impressed be it.

Ball runs hot and cold. Sometimes he can be pretty cool other times he can be difficult to be around. Overall, I thought he ran more hot then cold this semester. You can tell the man truely loves what he is doing. He has a wealth of knowledge and does a nice job in conveying that to his students. Take him but be prepared to work.

Comment:
his gymnastics class if physically demanding but fun and challenging...the common problem some students have is that your grade is based on ability and not on your work ethic...this is because if you recieved an A, that would mean you are ready to move to the advanced class because you have performed the required skills...just like any other field

He explects the best from his students, and if you don't do it right he advised to show up early to learn the moves, but most people wont....its a shame---you get what you work for.

Good guy who was helpful. Definatly graded on ability, the more moves you could do the higher your grade. If you are a good athlete you will enjoy the class.

ok teacher... the class was easy, but I think he grades more on your ablity than working hard and sucking at it. I did alot in that class a got a B. I was terriable, but I tried my best. I guess he doesn't care about those things :/
