Comment:

This woman believes that her gym class is the most important class ever to exist. This is a GYM class for 1 CREDIT. If you have a problem or a question, she is not helpful whatsoever. Tough grader for no reason. She expects you to answer questions in 5-6 sentences when they can easily be done in 2.

Comment:

An utter nightmare. I dont even know where to start. I have had multiple problems with her and its only been one month into a semester. I used the app as she says, just whenever we do something wrong she emails all of us, instead of showing us how she would like it. Her attitude doesn't help and she takes it too seriously for a 1 CREDIT class.

Comment:

Had her for physical fitness. Did not really like her as a professor, thought she had some kind of an attitude. Its a 1 credit course that doesn't require too much of you.

Comment:

Cakewalk of a class. Show up, work out, & make some flash cards for the tests. Less than an hour of studying for each. She won't give anyone a 100 for a paper or project, but she has the most clear grading criteria. Find some articles, keep it concise, & simply answer. Her. Questions.

Comment:

She is an extremely tough grader. She was not at all accommodating during the COVID pandemic. She took 4 points off when an assignment was exactly one minute after she put it was due! I checked on canvas and she did not give one student a 100 this whole semester on any assignments. Sis, this is a GYM CLASS! Not an ENGLISH CLASS!

Comment:

Not great. During a PANDEMIC she was not accommodating at all. Every other teacher of mine was very considerate of how everyone was doing but clearly, she was not for her students. She thinks gym is the most important class and she gave many essays and is an extremely hard grader for a GYM class meanwhile I did way better in other classes.

Comment:

Awful awful AWFUL! Thinks that her one credit gym class is the center of the universe and gives way too much work. Does not follow the curriculum, likes to add in extra tests/hw/essays, and makes you go out of your way to go to HS volleyball and badminton games. You have to make up her class if you miss more than one and she's a very harsh grader.

Comment:

I didnt have Newman as the professor of Weight Training I had Frank Gilroy but I believe he follows her guidelines. All I want to say is avoid the weight training class. This class is ridiculous never in my life did I do as much work for a 4 credit class than I did in this 1 credit course.. insane and both prof are nasty

Comment:

She's a nice woman, very strict on attendance. you can only miss one class and if you miss more than one you have to make them up or else you will fail. she gives us a workout for the day and after you finish she lets you leave. if you have to take a gym take this class, as long as you show up and workout you'll be fine.

Comment:

Ms. Newman is very kind. It's a cardiovascular fitness class, you work out for about 30 minutes on each machine and then do a set of weights. A midterm, paper, and final. You must study the review sheets she gives. Show up and you'll have no problems! Thanks for everything Ms. Newman!

Comment:

Not an easy A. Thinks the world revolves around gym class that obviously no one cares about. Essay which she makes errors in grading so watch out. You have to GO OUT OF YOUR WAY to watch a game at molloy or another school and get it signed by a coach. Final is easy go by the study guide. Very annoying and takes everything way too seriously. Rude.

Like any other gym teacher! You have a midterm, final, and a paper to write at the end of the semester but its not difficult! Prepares you well for the tests, and gives you most of the answers. Show up!!! Easy A.

Comment:

Professor Newman is a nice woman, but her tests can be somewhat confusing based on a 8 page study packet she gives out for the midterm and the final. You also would have to do an essay. If you miss more than one class of gym you have to make up for the class or you will lose points from your grade.

Comment:

Walking class. Much harder than it should have been because her tests are extremely difficult. Midterm paper and final paper are also graded harshly. More work in this 1 credit gym class than my major courses. Tests are very confusing despite the packets with all info and gives prior. Lots of math on the tests. Nice lady but too harsh on students

She wasn't horrible but she gave us 2 papers and 2 exams for a GYM course. On top of that the exams were based on a packet she handed out!

Fun and easy class... she was pretty good but if you can, take Coach Farrell's class... I sat in on one of his classes and after that I wished I had taken his class instead... He's amazing!
