it's a good class but it focus' more on meditation than yoga. she knows what she's talking about but it's not that intersting for someone that's taken yoga before and has done far more. she also plays the EXACT same cd for the entire 10 weeks. it gets boring fast. but it's a relaxing class if that is what you are looking for and she knows her stuff

Overall this class is based on journal reflections. She gives you a sheet that you fill out, then you write a one page reflection on it and turn in a stack of it at the end of quarter. No final, you just turn in a solo project. Easy midterm, she reviews the meeting before and pretty much gives you the answers, just write it down, easy A!

Uses her own textbook which is required, but I don't feel like the class would have the same effect if she had used something else.

As long as you complete the assignments you get full credit. I only used the book she assigned to get the prompts for the journals, it's not necessary to read the book.

The class itself is pretty easy but the workload is just way too much for a class that's supposed to be about stress management.

The class itself is okay but the workload is excessive for what this class is. Lectures are super boring too. Honestly if you're planning to take Stress Management, find a different professor.

She is a very sweet and caring professor, she is very lecture heavy and she does attendance randomly which is apart of your grade. There are two projects in her class and one is to be done throughout the semester but is easy to get done if you have time.

Dr. Daugherty was a great professor to take. She was very caring and the work was easy, but there was a lot of it. I'd definitely recommend her.

Although I did well enough to get a good grade, Dr. Daugherty does have any respect for students who are part of Disability Resource Center, especially when it comes to having more time on tests/ quizzes. Because of her reaction to my extension request, I do not recommend her to anyone and she should not be an educator either.

She does not respond to any emails. She drops an unreasonable amount of work per week. She acts as if students only have her class on their schedule. She tries to promote her app through assignments. I had more stress from this class than stress prevented from this class. Do not let the name of the course fool you about how the class works

I could go back in time and save myself the STRESS of taking a DESTRESS class I would. Her lectures are literally just her rambling. Attendance is mandatory. She has such a passive aggressive energy towards a lot of the girls in my class. Also her class is based on HER BOOK, videos ON HER CHANNEL, it's so egocentric. Homework load is insane!

DON'T TAKE HER. I took her for a GE class and she was more stressful than my OCHEM class! She had us write three different papers about the same thing (2 pages each time), a project paper over 12 pages long, 800 word review of her class, she wrote the book for the class, makes you follow her own meditations, wrote the papers you have to review...NO

A stress prevention class, but half the time, I was stressed. 2-3 papers per week, 3 final projects, and for one, she makes you go to her lab 8 times. Your grade drops 2-4% if you miss a class. The only appropriate time to take this class is if you have a laid-back schedule. Makes you read her book and watch her YouTube videos.

Easy A if you do the work but expect lots of tedious, nonsensical assignments. If anything the class felt more like it was to boost her ego. Take if you absolutely need an asynch class, but be prepared for the workload. Otherwise for a GE class the effort that is required isn't worth it. Overall I learned nothing and it was a waste of my time.

This class is literally supposed to be managing stress but she just piles on work to induce stress. I guess if you take this class you'll put the lessons to good use lol. Easy A if you need an asynchronous class though. Honestly, it would be an enjoyable class if she cut down on literally all of the busy work.

Wanna feel stressed? Are you bored? Wanna fund her dreams of being a NYtimes bestseller? Take this class. She thinks giving busy work is helping us with our stress. Course revolves around a book that she published. Probably a money laundering scheme. Abt 600-1500 words, 4 videos, a quiz, some mediations,1-3 chapters of reading every week,

This was a class about stress prevention. However, everything she assigns in this class just adds on more and more stress to my school life. There are so many unnecessary readings and assignments and when you already have a lot of work to do, it gets so stressful. The assignments are pretty easy, but just so tedious for an asychronous.

The professor is very sweet and kind; however, she assigns SO MUCH! Get ready to read and get ready to write. Assignments are very repetitive and tedious. Also, you have 3 semester-long projects that you have to work on continuously, on top of the weekly readings, writing assignments, and quizzes. All 3 are due with a final reflection at the end...

She gives a couple of assignments, the class is so much better in person. Mediation in the start and end of class I didn't mind it online this time. I think that if you do your assignments on time, because she gives an entire week to do them. You can do very well in the class. Easy A. Very kind professor, cares about her students, not intimidating.
