She co-teaches this class. Her content on the tests are pretty base level besides needing to know certain researchers. However, she reads directly off of her lecture slides, so going to her lecture is not always necessary. Overall, pretty easy.

be prepared to listen to the same sentence repeated four times using different words. co-taught with carda, hard to stay awake in class. 3 exams make up 85% of your grade. Fail one and you're screwed. NOT and easy science credit :(

Dr. Koltyn's lectures follow the powerpoint directly, which is also posted online. She expands on info with her personal experience, especially including her own research. Very easy to understand, and her section of the test is directly from her slides.

She is GREAT! Very clear and easy to understand. Good at letting you know exactly what's expected of you. For this class you'll have to do the readings and put the work into your papers, but they're actually pretty easy and she has no problem giving everyone good grades if everyone puts in the work. Love Her!!

Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
The material she presents is very easy. She reads straight from the powerpoints. She talks about herself a lot and her voice is pretty annoying, but her portion of this class is very easy. The class overall is very easy if you are interested in fitness and health.

Just about the most boring class I've ever had to listen to. I did this online and during summer break and when I'd play the lectures out loud my entire family fell asleep listening to it. Easy though, summer exams you could choose multiple answers.
