Easy with lots of extra Credit, cute but what does that really mean anyway? Ok teacher, health is not her expertise though, reads from the book, babysits class, show up and you will pass, I got a B without trying. If you want to learn about health take another teacher.

If you are into sweating this professor will make you earn your sweat, she is nice, caring, fair and homework wise pretty easy. Show up to class, ready to work, avoid absences, do your homework and you will have an A and a better shaped, strong body. I like her so much that I am taking her Body sculpting class again. Wooooohoooooo!!

Comment:

Her flexibility and yoga classes are pretty similar. She's great because she not only guides the class through the physical poses, but guides them to a more positive mentality for the day- more of a yoga approach. A great class that can get intense, but she helps those who need adjustments with the poses. Sweet lady who loves what she does.

she's awesome! she cares about her students! Yes she gives out a lot of exams 7 I believe but she also gives you lots of extra credit so don't sweat it. Just show up and do the extra credit and you will pass with a good grade. She grades in students favor and not against them. I got an A in her class. Super nice lady too.

Melanie is a great PE teacher, took her for aerobics and she was great; however, health does not appear to be her best subject, reads from book, lotsa extra credit, limited knowledge in many areas...cute only goes so far...

Comment:

The book is really expensive everywhere.. Take this class with a friend so you can share books and money. It's really easy to get an A in her class. I got D's on all my tests and still got an A in the class. There's also a group presentation that's really, really easy, too.

Comment:

Took this class online at it was an easy A. The only problem is she gives too much work for an online class. I was doing the same amount, if not more work for her 1 unit class than for any of my 3 unit classes. Overall great teacher. I would recommend taking her for an actual lecture class rather then for the online class.
