Comment:
Michele is honestly that best professor I have ever had at Penn State. I took this class because I wanted to get in shape and I also wanted an "easy A." Let me tell you that you need to work hard for this class, but she will push you and make you do things you never thought you could do. TAKE HER CLASS, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!

Comment:
"stress management" is really the science of stress. She makes the class stressful as well, as multiple deadlines exist throughout the week, which is not typical for online classes at PSU. Makes it difficult to work, study, and have family time, as most World Campus students do. The weekly quiz to get access to the lesson is not appropriate.

Michele is very down to earth and easy to understand. She explains things clearly and doesn't expect obscure detail memorization. Definitely a helpful class and a great teacher!

Comment:
Mostly easy, did have an actual physical component that you have to arrange locally yourself when taking on line. Biggest issue is weekly 10 minute quizzes designed to ensure you read the textbook; you must take the quiz before getting code to see the lesson material. This is not a game, I paid for the material and games to get it is ridiculous.

Comment:
Michele is one of my all time favorite professors. The class is physically challenging and she will push you to work hard everyday, but you will be in great shape by the end. My only recommendation is to get into decent shape before class starts (be able to run 1.5 miles under 12 mins)

She was very helpful and down to earth. Tests and quizzes were very reasonable if you attended lecture although she was a fan of the essay type testing method.

Michelle is super nice and very helpful if youre confused about anything. She's very willing to help you if you express concern about your grade. I didnt use the book much for the class, but it might be handy for a reference.

Comment:
The class was definitely helpful especially since it provided techniques that can help de-stress someone's life. The book is definitely needed for the quizzes, since half are take-home and half are in class. About half of the questions are taking from the book and she recommends any of the versions will work too

Not a tough class, but tough to get an A. Just study the notes before exams, be sure you memorize all the definitions, that's a key to success. Mandatory attendance, so take later classes if you're not a morning person. She's taught the course a billion times so she's pretty comfortable with the material. She's a very nice and friendly lady.

Michele is the flat out bomb! The Bomb, I say. Awesome, awesome stuff. She's was superfly at West Point, but now she's even moreso. She likes Nickleback, too, which is a huge plus.

Great professor, AMAZING class... You'll always get a great workout when you come in, whether it be a loop around campus, a scavender hunt, tag, or the usual indoor self-paced circuit. I would DEFINITELY recomment this to anyone wanting a good workout and a great use of 1.5 GHA credits!

Michele was awesome around the board: she was helpful if you needed it, explained everything clearly, really knew what she was talking about, and just overall made for a great (and easy!) class!

Great class! I have already recommended it to several of my friends! You learn a lot about nutrition and weight training/cardio vascular exercises. It was the best elective/gen ed I have taken so far! Definitely take this class!
