Very unorganized, the workouts logs and how he want us to submit videos are not well explained nor come with instructions on how to combine and submit 3 videos in one. Much rather take another accounting class than this again. I cannot see myself passing this class due to lack of organization and no explanations for exactly what we are to do.

All the quizzes are from articles and videos. He warns you to have the answers EXACTLY like how it's spelled, etc. but even on some answers, the quizzes count them wrong. I emailed him multiple times asking for clarification and if he could look into the grade. He denied and came across as someone who thinks everything they do is right. Arrogant.

I went into this course not expecting much, but what I got was much more. Having struggled with wanting to exercise and eat healthier, but not knowing how. Coach Wright made an enduring impact on me, he formulated the class not only to satisfy the curriculum but to instill lifelong habits. He was understanding and pushed us to do our best. Thanks!

I learned alot in this course. was able to get motivated to attack the 15lbs from quarantine. I achieved more than I thought I could. papers take some time, quizzes are easy (use proper spelling) and workouts are challenging. he was flexible even when it was my fault. started with 5 push ups got to 20 at end of class!

Coach Wright was so understanding and a great professor to have! I was so unsure how on earth you do P.E. online, but he made it doable! The workouts only required yourself and a positive mind! Do the workouts, send in the videos, do the easy quizzes and just try your best! There are a couple papers so be prepared :)

You have to be on your game with your papers. He is a tough grader on those, but it's a college class. It doesn't matter if it's a paper for English or Chess, correct grammar is correct grammar. Lots of quizzes, but they are an easy grade. Coach Wright is extremely supportive, and really wants you to do well. He will give you help if you just ask!

Coach Wright tries to make his PE class an English class. There are also soooo many quizzes and you must fill in the blank exactly to the T with the answer he chose or you do not get credit. There is no book or any information to study, you just wing it. Instructions are not clear on anything, you won't get credit if things are not PERFECT!

I wish I had more words to say how I feel. Essays in PE?? he grades them SO HARD and unfairly! He also is kind of mean, pointed me out IN FRONT OF EVERYONE saying that I don't try hard enough and saying I had a bad personality. extremely out of line, made me have a panic attack in the bathroom. Doing my absolute best was not enough. NOT FUN.

Coach Wright pushes you to do your best mentally and physically. His workouts are very good, and you would definitely build muscle or lose weight depending on your goal. I do have to say you have to do essays in his class and take many quizzes. The quizzes are easy to do, you just watch a video or read an article to get the answers. Overall, nice.

Too many quizzes, and essays. This one credit class is like taking a class in a Ph.D program. If you must take this class, let it be the only one. For a gym class you think you will release stress, this one credit class will stress you out. The workouts are good. It will be the class work that takes over your other 3 or 4 credits classes.

It is worth only 1 credit! but the workload makes you feel like you are taking 5 credit class. 50 quizzes, essays, written assignments, weekly workouts you have to record on video and post. pre-test, post-test.Horrible!
