Comment:

The material is not difficult and she gives exam outlines that are great for exams. But, she was BY FAR the worst professor I've ever had. She graded pretty generously on final projects IMO. You might have to teach yourself some of the stats but it's all basic stuff. Be ready to work and earn your grade.

Professor Panichas is nice enough, but explains nothing. You have to teach yourself everything if you expect to pass. She'll be going on a rant and then start handing out papers with exam material on it. Absolutely horrible.

Comment:

Pat Panichas was an awesome person. She's super funny and very nice. She is really confusing though about what she wants you to do. She'll be talking to the class about random stuff and then will just start assigning stuff even when the class is still talking. Pay VERY close attention and get your hours done right away.

Comment:

Nice person and thats about it. She is extremely unclear and lacks teaching skills. She doesnt tell you when things are due & she couldnt explain anything to save her life. If youre good at teaching yourself this is a class for you because she is clueless. Its as if she doesnt want kids to do well and she will constantly roll her eyes at you

She is horrible at explaining assignments and she didn't really teach much. The class wasn't bad and she's a really nice person, but I didn't really learn anything.

Comment:

patty has a great personality, and is great to talk to. however, her lectures are extremely unclear and hard to follow. i can't say whether i liked her or didn't, because she is so cool yet so bad at explaining things. much of t&m i tought myself, which is not what you want to be doing. other than that, no complaints.

Wonderful teacher and very funny. She likes to joke with the students and very approachable. Class was very easy and directions were clear. The class is nothing but dancing and body movements which was very easy and not hard at all. She is very helpful if need be.

Panichas is the greatest. She challenges you to use your mind and pushes you to be unique. In movement foundations it is all about the effort you put in and your attendance. Don't miss more then one class, put some effort in, take good notes, and you will get an A.

Comment:

Paddy is a very origional prof. No class is ever the same. She never really explained directions clearly, but the task was usually really easy so we figured it out. Overall a nice woman who had a good sence of humor and can get her students modivated for what they needed to do.

Patti was a tough but awesome teacher! I learned a lot in her class, and was pushed to do things I never thought I would be able to do. Always willing to help you out if you had a problem. Not many teachers and coaches are willing to do that!

She's really cool and easy to get along with. She doesn't mind laughing at a joke or even making fun of some of the students. She is very pleasant and easy on the eyes. I dreaded taking a dance class with her, but she's made it fun.

Comment:

Prof Panichas was a good teacher. Tests & Measurements was a really hard course and stats are just not my thing. I did make it through though. Prof Panichas also teaches gymnastics and I LOVED this course! I'm not very limber either, but it was fun!!
