Laura is the best! By far the best prof I have had at University or College. I would take any class with Laura. She is truly passionate about her work and students. The course was not very difficult but did require work. Quizzes prior to classes (25%), Teaching project (20%), Journal Paper (20%), Final project (25%), Professionalism (10%).

Laura is an amazing prof, her midterm and final are very easy. she gives you the midterm case studies throughout the months leading up to the midterm and uses the same case studies for the midterm and the final is a take home project. Make sure to get the textbook as her online quizzes are based directly from the chapter but they are very easy!

She is great. Lectures always flew by because she is a very engaging prof and gets you up and moving around a lot. Definitely makes you work for it but she is a great teacher and it's not hard to do well if you follow her clear criteria. Highly recommend her.

Love Laura! She's my fave prof at Douglas! Lectures aren't very long, because there is always some partner/group activity to engage in. Laura is very reasonable marker, do whats expected to the best of your ability and you'll get a good mark. Very helpful when you ask questions, will clear it up for you! She has a great sense of humor.

Laura is so knowledgeable and so passionate and inspirational. The best class I have ever taken is Inclusive physical activity (recommend it hands down). She is also amazing in any other class (health promotion, advanced sports psychology, sports psychology). Honestly the best teacher I have ever had. She brings out really good work out of everyone

Laura is a PHENOMENAL instructor! I wish she taught more classes... she really is a teacher you should seek out and get. She explains the course content so well, and makes it all very practical and interesting at the same time. Her instruction always keeps the student busy, but is also VERY thought out and creative. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
