Comment:

Took him for Intro to Kinesiology online; easy class to take and get out of the way. Requires you buy the textbook, takes almost every test question from the book, lots of assignments but all very easy and to the point. Enjoyable class in person and online!

Hard work-out. 40-50 minutes of indoor cycling, 10 minutes extreme ab work-out. You'll notice a difference in strength and endurance at the end of the semester. You get 2 absences free. If you have 3 an A is not possible anymore. Written final was ridiculously hard; not much to do with the study guide. Still got an A. Guess I'm good at guessing.

Comment:

Very easy, attendance is mandatory, but if you miss a class you can make it up in the club. He is very friendly and understanding. There is a multiple choice final at the end, but its only worth 20% of your grade and you can still get an A if you fail it, but if you show up every day, there is no chance of failing-very easy.

Awesome, fun class! Love fencing! I've taken fencing with another instructor at Mesa and I enjoyed Curran's class more, and learned more as well.

Comment:

Ugh. I don't know if it is him or online classes in general, but this class was a waste of time. Read the chapters assigned, take an open book test with questions that are basically word-for-word from the text. Learning not required. Mandatory discussions, but they were all watered down and lame. Projects, but the feedback was just a grade. Blah.

Coach todd is great! Haven't had him as a teacher, just a coach. But he's a very intelligent guy and knows what he's talking about. If I get the chance to take any other subject from him, I would. He's very understanding, smart, and organized.

I've never took an online class before and I loved it. If you have any questions just e-mail him and he'll respond quickly. If you have some type of intelligence, can read a textbook, and know how to use a computer it's an EASY A. Loved him!!

Comment:

He has got to be the worst online teacher ever. Took a ridiculously long time to grade anything and baselessly accused the whole class of cheating and deducted points. If I cared more I would have protested. This class should be an easy A but isn't with this horrible teacher. He might be fine in person, but I would never take him online.

He's adept at teaching the art of fencing. It's something I want to do the rest of my life and he taught me the basics.

This class is fun! He has you do a lot of projects but they are not that hard. His tests start hard and get easier at the end. He gives extra credit too.

He may be great in a classrm or on the field, but he isn't as a web teac. Teachers are not required to provide study guides but it helps outline the concepts one should familiarize themselves with for exams. This guy doesn't know how to outline material to prepare you for a test

I took a fencing class with this guy and he is really great. The class was really fun and he is really understanding and nice. He's not very hard, but he knows when you're not really trying.
