Make sure to take him while you are at Ashland. While some of the content is difficult, he explains it well while entertaining you. The absolute best teacher here. A must take.

The best prof I have had at AU. If you don't study or go to class, don't take his classes. You learn.

Comment:

No clear grading system. Bulk of grade were the 3 nearly impossible essay tests. Even the true and false questions you have to explain your answer and if you don't explain if it is true or false you lose almost all points on the question even if you are correct.

Comment:

He is very entertaining and makes class fun but it is a lot of material and a hard concept to grasp. Tests are just about your only grades so you have to do well. Attendance is mandatory because you need all the information he says in class. The book isnt really addressed or followed. Good guy but hard class

Comment:

Dr. Vanata is a good guy and a pretty good professora as well. He keeps you entertained but attendance is absolutely mandatory in order to understand all of the information. He challenges you on extensive essay tests, but gives you the benefit of the doubt in the end. He's one of the best professors at Ashland University.

He doesn't really follow books so not everything that's planned usually gets covered but you will learn a lot. be prepared to write everything you know about a topic on tests (even for short answer questions)

He is a very cool teacher. His test are so hard. No way you can pass his test. All essay questions. Make sure you not only write down what he writes on the board but also write down what he says. He does not give alot of homework so this is a very hard class. i wanted goldring but got him instead

lifetime wellness...i know it sounds like an easy class, and i got a D!!i'm a straight a student and this class was so incredibly hard for me. take the gym version of lifetime wellness with either goldring or patton. this class was absolutely ridiculous, all essay tests with no textbook to study from.

Comment:

Vanata's lifetime wellness class was a lot of fun. Just make sure you study for his exams and take notes. He doesn't teach out of a text book and doesn't require physical fitness testing.

He knows his stuff. If you want to learn something take him, if you want a blo off class take goldring. Be careful or you'll get "the look" Pretty scary. DONT make this guy get mad. Too big, too scary!

Nice guy, makes you work for your grade though. Tests are fair to hard and the spirituality paper isn't all that hard to write. I'm going to miss the breathing exercises the most :-P.

Comment:

Even though most other lifetime wellness classes are complete blowoffs, I actually learned something in this class. His tests weren't too hard if you studied for them and he tried to make things interesting. He cracks corny jokes and then laughs at them which makes you laugh too. Good class to take.

Comment:

his classes are not that difficult, his tests are fair but really hard if you don't study. if you're interested in actually learning about nutrition and wellness, take him. if you're just doing it for a requirement, don't.
