Coach Elaine is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. She's super sweet, really encouraging, and easy to approach, and so are the TAs. I'd never touched a volleyball before SMC and now I love it after two classes with her, so don't worry if you have no experience; put in the effort and you'll have fun, exercise, AND an easy A. A for AWESOME!

Comment:

I got a ton better at volleyball in this class. It is mostly focused on skills and not really on strategy. Good work out everytime. It is a lot easier to enjoy this class if you put in a little effort and try. If you miss class she will let you make up for it by going to any college volleyball game.

Prof. Roque is a very kind and encouraging teacher. Grading is mostly based on participation and attendance. Even if you're no good at volleyball, you can still get an A if she sees you trying every day. Lot's of extra credit opportunities. No final, just 2 skill tests and one written exam (mostly multiple choice). Real good teacher. Approachable.

This is by far the most engaged teacher I have come across in my school years. She will encourage you to do your absolute best in class. She is a fair grader and she let you do the workout in your own phase. Always a smile on her face so you can't help smiling back!

roque is a professor you must have. trust me, in one week, you'll like her for a lifetime. she gives all types of yoga poses and for you to try at home. she's also very understandable if you accidentally pulled a muscle somewhere. she'll give you another relaxation pose to calm wherever you feel that hurts. by the way, there is no pain in yoga haha

I took her summer bootcamp. That class was awesome!! She will kick your butt into shape. It's nice because she incorporates yogalates into some exercises and does a food log. I lost 8 pounds in her 6 week class!! Only thing I didn't like was that she leaves the class half way through the semester.. not so cool. :(
