She's awesome, intelligent and encouraging/interactive
She's a really good teacher.
She is a great teacher who goes the exra mile to help you learn the material. She is also very intelligent and highly skilled in the health sciences.
The worst teacher ever. NOT HOT AT ALL. Seems more like a loser. The cloths she wears you feel like you are living in 40's. I have never had such an unreasonable and disrespectful prof. She is from south or mid America and is very very ****.
This professor is very good if you want to lose weight or become a dietician. She made Health 104 harder than all courses needed for Nursing school combined. It's health not nutrition. She is a health freak and she doesn't give a damn about her studen
yes,she may be a little difficult, but she is very passionate about health,which is what triggered the weight loss in our family, if you want to learn about health, definitely take her.
Very hard class but great professor. Gives a lot of examples in class and cares a lot about her job. Has a lot of office hours and goes above and beyond to help a student. Health 104 with her is hard but you will learn a lot!
Does one of the best lectures at GCC. Has alot of energy and seems like she really cares about getting the information to her students. Has fun, unique assignments. She tells you she's the hardest Health teacher at GCC, but she's only scarying you, dont worry, just keep up.
Her class is hard and a lot of work, but she teaches so well.you'll learn a lot in her class. She's very good. She's just a world of knowledge. You won't regret taking her class, because at the end, you will learn a lot.
she can be a good teaher but she is very judgemental and she will grade yoru work according to how well other are doing in her class
Good teacher, very enthusiastic, knows her subject perfectly. Not too hard if you spend some time studying.
Excellent technical dance teacher, BUT CONTROL FREAK who can be moody and take out her problems on the students, take discipline to the extreme, and nitpick. This can take out the fun of the class.
I love her class! It's an amazing work-out (TWEEEEEEZE!) but it's still a lot of fun. She demands a lot of her students, but it's because she has their best interests at heart, and you can really see it pay off. Too bad she only teaches dance during summers/winters...
What an excellent teacher she is! She perfects your technique, but very intimidading. Definitely take her if you are a dance major!
Very clear with instructions and expectations. Many assignments but they are doable and an A is easily attainable if all work is done.
just take it.. work hard but man, she's gooood
Awesome teacher..the BEST from all teachers i had my acad life.teachers should be as motivating and as up-to-date as she is.she's genuinely concerned and knowledgeable enough about her class.this teacher is an A as far as quality and quantity goes.i recommend everybody to take her...you'll learn a lot.it can change your life.:P
Very cool teacher! Gives u a lot of info. Knows how to treat students. Really easy, just be there and do the mini exams. She motivates students all the time. I am getting a fat A!!!
she's a kewl teacher but do keep some things in mind. turn in your assignments on time. she is a health guru. if you're looking to learn about health, she's a good teacher
ive had her for dance & aerobics and she is so tough!! however, she teaches everything clearly and efficiently. if your goal is to get fit and have proper/healthy technique then she is the one to take.
VERY Informative and helpfull. If you are actully ready to learn then take her class. She really does care about health.
WOWWWW!!!! This teacher is amazing. NO doubt the best teacher ive had in G.C.C. Her dedication and motivation to teach is immaculate. She makes learning fun and intersting with clever exercises. This was a life changing class for me and I would absolutly recommend everyone to take this class.
i suggest you shouldnt take this teacher.very anal and hard.she thinks shes teaching a med class when all it is is a nutrition class.expects us to know too many terms like if it was a anatomy or a nursing class.
The best and most informative class ever.
very hard enough said...
Learned more than expected.
Thanks God I could drop her class and joined with Mr. Coots Class, other wise I had to do her homeworks all semester long, 24/7. She thinks she is teaching med class. This is only 3 unit class, she wants tons of homeworks. I got A from Mr. Coots very very easy without doing stupid projects.
I thought this was going to be one of those Health classes taught by a P.E. Teacher, but no. This was a very informative and highly educational class for me. I really enjoyed this class immensely. I enjoyed because Barb really knew what she was talking about and is passionate about it. It has made me want to become a healthier person
Class very challenging. Ms. Erfurt clarifies things in detailed form that makes the students understand. If a student has a question about anything she is always willing to answer to make sure each of her students understand the material. I'm not going to lie, her course is really tough, but very helpful.
She is an AWESOME teacher! It's a hard class but she makes it understandable and is there to help!
Barb was great, I have seldom had an instructor so engaged with both the class and the material. It was a lot of work but easily managed. I took the evening class and realy appreciated the level of energy Barb put into each meeting! It was fun to go to class. Fast email response to questions. I really got alot out of the experience!!!
Great teacher. Has immense knowledge of the information she is teaching. However there is a lot of work to be completed. Do all of your assignments and you’ll pass the class with an A.
Unusual amount of home work comparing with other GCC's health 104 instructors. If you are dying to do alot of home work she is good.
she comes off as being very tough but i can tell she cares not only about teaching, but health also. im glad i took this class and learned a lot.
SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER, SUPER HARD, BUT EXCELLENT. YOU WILL DEFINITELY LEARN A LOT AND BE BUSY THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER. SHE'S GREAT!
The teacher is passionate about her subject, and expects a lot from her students. I definitely learned a lot. She is a true advocate for health education.
Barb is tough but fair! One of the best Health 104 profs out there ... Barb keeps the class moving and interesting. She expects the work done when it's assigned and submitted online as required. If you attend class and keep to speed you'll have no problem getting a good grade. Barb also makes herself available for questions.
She takes it WAY to serious and makes it a hard class for no reason.
good teacher
Barbara is and awesome teacher, she makes her lectures educating and entertaining at the same time, which i think is excellent since it keeps you awake and interested. The workload is alot, but not difficult at all. You just need to dedicate time to this class. At the end it pays off.
the best teacher ever! she is really passionated about the subject, and you'll learn so much! she is hard, but so fair, and really helpful! =)
the woman KNOWS her**** n she explains every thing in layman's terms n makes it simple to understand HOWEVER as a student u must make sure to take notes n UNDERSTAND the material to actually remember it for tests....she can be very intimidating n speaks fast, but if r interested n ask questions she will answer....I LEARNED A LOT FROM HER!
don't take this class, she talks way too much, very hyper too. She take her class /health issue too serious. Not an easy teacher, expect you to know everything, expect you to know vocabulary words that are for Medical doctor. don't expect to leave early. Her text book is a bunch of copies, and charge too much. You can't find answers on text book
don't take this class, she makes it too difficult, too much homework, text book is zerox copies put together, charge too much for it. Not a fun teacher, talks non stop. not very helpful.
This professor made this class easy.
She was very well educated about the subject. She explained the subject extremly well. If you do the work and are always on time you will most likly get an A (attendence is a must if u want to take this class, you cant leave early or arrive late points are deducted).
She is a great teacher. The HWs are easy and its an easy A class. Definately take her she is very enthusiastic and influential. The exams are easy and it comes directly from the notes. The final exam was just to write a summary of what you learned, very easy. Shes great and she knows a lot about health! :-)
This professor showed a lot intrest in what she was teaching and really cared about our well being. She can be unclear on what she expects and sometimes rude. If your taking her class expect to do ALL assignment and be in class AT all times, on time and never leave early or else you WILL fail.
This class has a lot of energy from the teacher. Her physical method of teaching is really amusing and she is very sincere. Barb is a wealth of knowledge and she easlily explains even the most complex bodily functions verbally and in her written materials. This is the most intense and informative class I have ever taken. This class is really vital.
she's great, hardcore about health. Ready wants to help students improve their quality of life.
SHES A PHENOMINAL TEACHER.......MY FIRST COLLEGE CLASS, AND EASIEST CLASS I HAVE *EVER* HAD!!! SHES THE BEST AND SWEETEST PERSON. AND SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT THE WELL BEING AND HEALTH OF HER STUDINTS..................
This is a fun and interesting class! Be in class on time and be awake because you will learn a lot! Barb loves what she is doing, she is serious about it and she likes honesty! You will love the class as long as you follow the rules and complete each assignment! HAVE FUN!
Never miss a class. Do not be late. Follow all the rules and take the class seriously.
This was the most interesting class ive ever taken. it was challenging, the amount of work. but if you are an organized person you will love the class and Barb.if you want an easy A without doing work, dont take this class.but if you want to learn to improve your health you need to take it..
She is an excellent teacher! Her lecture was so right to the point and exciting. It was a evening class but I felt not sleepy at all. You sure will learn from this class.The assighnments are not difficult at all but you have to do them promptly to get A. I am so glad I was in this class!
Instructor is precise on what she expects from her students. She gives 100% of herself and expects the same in return. Because of the clarity and the passion in her teaching I learned more than I thought I would learn and I found it interesting and fun. She is available to her students for any questions they have. She also practices what she teache
If you want to learn about Health and have fun, take Barb! She's now one of my favorite teachers at GCC. I just took Health 104 during the 1st 8-week session and loved every class meeting...I only wished it was longer! There is no reason that you should not get an A in this class! Take her and you will not be sorry!
I took her in the summer and got a B. She is a very good teacher and is very prepared. Her tests are pretty straight forward. If you try hard and show up to class and take notes you should be fine.
Very strict teacher, but if you follow directions, good teacher, fun class.
She was incredible, I learned so much in this class, and I hate physical sciences. She made the class so interesting because she's very passionate about what she does. She's also a nutritionist, so her hands on experiance made this class so much fun to go to.
I came out of the class a changed person. I learned a lot from Barb. she is truely THE BEST teacher for health. she motivates us to actually study. its really easy to understand her and she makes the class very fun. I actually enjoyed going to class. even if you dont have to take a health i remcomend you taking Barbs class you wont regret it. =]
She gives way to much work. If you like ridiculous and exaggerated amount of work take this class.
if you are ready to make a lifestyle change for yourself then this is the class for you. you will learn soo much in barbs class. the class and the professor are extremely motivating. its not a breeze, but you will enjoy every minute of it.
The health class that Ms. Erfurt provides to her students is one that can be used through an entire lifetime. Her passion to spread the knowledge of how to care for your "being" is without a doubt some of the most important material a student will ever absorb. The course is rigid and covers every system of the body thoroughly. Very educational
The class is extremely interesting and you will never regret by taking it with Barbara. It was so much fun for me during the summer because I adopted things that every person should know regarding to their health. Believe me that you will live the class with a lot of changes in your lifestyle.
Be there for every class meeting and you will NOT find it difficult. Because of Barbara's insight you truly have special access to your own personal health/fitness professional. So take advantage! If your looking to get healthy or maintain your health, this is the perfect place to start! I just can't say enough good things about it!
I enjoyed her energy in the classroom and her passion on the material. Great experience.
The class was interesting and very informative... the professor was paasionate about the subject and knew what she was talking about, so if you looking to change your life, this is the class to take.
Hi guys.If you want to take her just for grade, don't do that.It's such a hard class but if you want to get some knowledge about your health status, i recomend her.I took her on summer and had a hard time; however i got an A.Good luck.
The first day of Barb's Health104 class I was kind of overwhelmed. She lays everthing out for you of what she expects. It's hard work but I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot. As long as you keep up with the HW you'll get a good grade. She's seems to love what she does & is very knowledgable in her field. I highly recommend her as a teacher
We should have more Professors like Barb. The best class!! If you really care about your families and your health then take her class, you’re not going to regret it. I changed my and my families’ lives. If you want to lose weight, or be motivated for exercise or learn how to prevent diseases then take her class!!An amazing PROFESSOR!
Very useful class! You will learn a lot about health and yourself. She is excellent at teaching the subject and very passionate about it. Online quizzes given come directly from the reading, so can be easy to do well. Puzzles very helpful for learning the many different terms. She is very helpful with any questions you have. I learned a lot:)
I consider this class as a once in a life time opportunity. You'll learn how to prevent diseases, lose weight, be motivated to exercise, control your stress, and help others. If you value your and your families' lives then you MUST take this class! You'll learn things about health that you never heard before! An outstanding Professor!
Barb is passionate about what she teaches and will not take any BS excuses for lack of performance! Her enthusiam for health is contagious! This country would not be such an academic disgrace if there were teachers as dedicated as Barb to the students' physical and mental accomplishments! Do yourself a favor and take ANY class she offers.
Quite possibly the best health instructor I had to date. I really wish my nursing instructors were more like her. She actually cares that her students understand the material and can make the most complicated body systems easy to understand. Overall, pleasure to have as an instructor and will highly recommend her to anyone.
if you're seriously not interested in health, i strongly recommend you not take this prof. She says everything down to the last detail and expects you to know it too. Her tests are hard, and her final was to rewrite the txtbook.. literally. I got an A but it was really tough.
An intensely serious class. If you don't want to work, don't take the class. It WILL take a lot of effort and time. That said, you'll learn all you ever wanted to know about nutrition, and once you're done, you'll rate this class among your all-time favorites - that is, if you're a serious student.
Barb is a great teacher! You will learn everything you have ever wanted to know about health. She is very passionate about the subject. If you are looking for an easy A or are a slacker, DO NOT take this class! This class will require hard work and dedication from students. Attendance is mandatory. You will walk away a better person GUARANTEED!
She is very energetic and intelligent teacher.
If you're there to breeze through class,take someone else's health class.But if you're there to actually learn,this class is the one.Be aware,the workload is huge and prepare to be dedicated 100% and take it seriously and you will walk away wanting to take another one of her classes!She's tough and means business but you'll be thankful in the end!
Barb is very tough but a good teacher. She has a lot of knowledge in this field.
Barb Erfert is intense, but also one of the best most caring teachers at GCC. She genuinely enjoys teaching students on health and how to incorporate healthiness into their own lives. A lot of work but well worth it. GREAT teacher!
I haven't been to school in a long time, but I was able to keep up with the class. Every lecture is so organized that it'll prepare you for the next lecture/chapter. She's funny. The class is not boring. She teaches important information that will enable you to use it in your everyday life. It's a positive, life changing class. I really enjoyed it!
She is straight out and doesn't like exusitis but she is a good teacher. There is alot of reading to do but she makes preparing for tests easier. Learned alot and glad to take class.
Ms. Erfurt is a wonderful teacher. This is an online class, so if you think your gona get an easy A by taking your test online, think again. She is very clear in what she expects from you and you will learn alot. Stuey hard and do the review ?'s you will score a A.
Did not care for her at all. Too self absorbed.
Very thorough. Be prepared with prior human anatomy/biology course before this. Will learn a lot if your have the time and inclination.
<3CONGRATULATION MS. ERFURT FOR BEING THE BEST INSTRUCTOR/ROLE MODEL IN THE WORLD!!!<3 she has all the qualities every student would wish for in an instructor<3 she is very encouraging,thourough,extremely knowledgeble of health field,interacts very well w/ other students through discussions,so much more great things to say but this only permit 350
The class is pretty easy. The teacher is very callous.
This is one of the best online classes I have ever taken. It was easy once I got started. My teacher Ms. Erfurt was so educated & supportive. I learned so many new things. I feel so much better about health and life. The exams were very fair. The final exams were very fair. I would recommend this class to anyone who cares about their health.
This was a great class to take online. The teacher was great and very helpful. Everything was easy if you followed instructions properly. If you want to take this class you must have some common sense or this class is not for you. It is not as easy as you think so you must really care about your health and learning something new.
this is a class that i think everyone should take even if you dont need it. its a life time class....you learn alot in this class about ur healthiness and the process of your body....i took this class online and i got a grade of 107%(with extra credit points). its not as easy as you think but if you follow the instruction you will get a good grade
I took her online class. I know that she does give you all the instructions you need, but when you ask questions. She gets irritated and answer in a very mean way.!! I don't know why I took her class, but she's the only one teaching Health!
This class has the potential of being life changing like i read here before I took it-but she is so rude and condescending in her emails to students it is very disturbing. She is very knowledgeable, great text book, I took her class because of it. I am just so shocked by the way she talks to students in a disrespectful manner, it is very abusive.
omg this teacher is the worst professor ive had so far in college. dont take her she really is bad no matter how much u want to take the course DONT!!!if u have questions dont ask her and if u do she will say something around the bush or answer it but give u the hardest time. she needs to quite her job this career is not for her.
I took this class online and I enjoyed every moment of it. Simple article reading and then summarizing them. She does require a lot of writing, but its college not high school! The worksheets for every chapter and super useful and the videos are informative (just take notes on them).
I learned a lot from the book,videos and articles. The materials were well planned and put together and the exams were very fair. I definitely spent a lot of time on this class but the hard work was worth it as what I have learned is the kind of knowledge that is lifelong. Ms. Erfurt is a great teacher and I would highly recommend this class.
yuck! took her online &had quizzes every friday. had so much to cover &the quiz only had 20 Q's. I didnt wana put any effort in this class, just wanted to pass with a C. got C's on the quizzes &she sent a letter home sayin that i needed to improve my skills. dont waste your time. shes anal, she doesnt realize its a GE class &no one cares
I actually care about my health & my grades. I learned to do better research which will help me in the future. I needed guidance with my written work & I was given it. All my inquries were answered immediately, and I enjoyed the text. She can be a little pompus and harsh but I don't think she means to. Just hates to see fat people commiting suicide
She gives so much work to do that your attention automatically diverts from truly learning the material to the feeling of "hurry up and get the work done because you have to turn it in". Not everyone is a time manager and this isn't a time management class. I want to learn the material by testing my knowledge and not writing 200 pages everyweek
I agree,very anal. I signed up for health class not english composition! Way too much homework for an online class! She expects too much!
This shouldn't be an on-line class with her kind of an instructor. Overall, the mood with my other classmates isn't very positive. Too much unnecessary work to do...
DO NOT GET THIS CLASS, SHES THINK SHES SOME KIND OF SUPERSTAR SHE SUCKS SHE CANT TEACH SHE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE SHE SUCKS GET A LIFE!!!!
This is the first on-line class I have taken.I am 56.After taking EMT,and currently in Phlebotomy,I find this class refreshing.It is a different approach to Health,and the body systems.In a few weeks I have learned how to assess a document,article,website for "scholarly content"thanks to Ms. Erfurt!She is excellent,esp online!Patient,caring,fair
I think Barb is seriously one of the best teachers I've ever had! Her class is hard, but you learn so much! A LIFE CHANGING CLASS! I SWEAR! She pushes you to be dedicated and to live a healthy lifestyle. She genuinely cares about your own benefit. If you put commitment to this class, you will get the most out of it. I highly recommend taking her!
This instructor has only good comments to say about those that get 90% or better. To anyone struggling with the class she is verbally degrading and even via email you can feel hostility. She has absolutely no social skills and needs to be back in the classroom for a refresher course in social skills 101.
Good Teacher!
Professor Erfurt's class honestly changed my life. I took her nutrition and physical fitness class for fun and am now applying to dietetic internships to become a registered dietitian. Her class was extremely challenging, but the way she explained the materials made it fascinating and fun. She was an inspiration and a mentor to me.
The textbook used was great and that is about the only good thing I have to say about this class. Our primary focus was on being able to find credible material rather than learning about health. The instructor has a very negative and degrading attitude towards the students and her grading system is ridiculous!
Online class. I have not enjoyed at all. The reliability assignments become tedious and boring, textbook is corny. I have learned nothing. I am a 4.0 student who has done online classes before so it isn't that I am lazy or confused by an online class. Professor can be demeaning but that is because people do not follow directions or bother to read.
Erfurt is exactly the kind of teacher that will turn you off (Big Time) by her ill intended comments and her personality in general. In other words, take this class with someone ?Normal?. What GCC really needs these days is a goof fat lawsuit against some its teachers to wake them up and realize the same thing they preach to us all the time ?this i
Ms. Erfurt was extremely helpful thru-out the entire course. I recommend this class for anyone who is truely interested in learning more than they thought possible from a health class. I will use this new found info for the rest of my life!
She is the worst teacher i have ever had!she is insulting. she says you so much stupid stuff that you don't even need. she kind of a person who considers herself as a superstar. in a reality she does not worth a penny as a teacher, she does not know how to teach and how to communicate with students.DON'T EVER TAKE HER!!!
Professor Erfurt truly cared about her students and put in a lot of effort into helping us with any questions we had. She encouraged students to think out of the box and was very approachable. Her class teaches you everyday things on a variety of health topics and is completely applicable in real life. I would recommend this class to all students.
I had the most wonderful experience with her, and I think that she is a teacher who is making you learn.
I had the most wonderful experience with her. She was very helpul.
She is very helpful.
I had so many online classes before this and I will say that this instructor was always there for everybody. She is encouraging you to do your best. She is very organized person, and you will never be lost. I had wonderful experience, and I am honestly thankful to her.
Honestly, THIS TEACHER IS THE BEST! YOU WILL LEARN A LOT!!!!! TAKE HER FOR SURE
Barb Erfurt was Completely unfair and dropped me from her class for walking in late. I wasn't disruptive and very respectful. I have taken many classes and have had great experiences except for this one. I still am not sure why I haven't reported her behavior to the school. She had some kind of weird grudge towards. Strange??
I really enjoyed this class, the book was great and the class was do-able, I work full time and am carrying 13.5 units and was still able to do well in this class. My advice is to stay on top of things in the first two weeks and read everything in the syllabus and you will do just fine!
HLTH 104 is an amazing course where you will gain valuable, applicable, life-changing knowledge about your body, tsaught by Prof. Erfurt who is an organized, intelligent, straight-forward and insightful professor. This is no easy-A class, there is reading to be done and assignments to turn in but the content and quality of what you will learn is en
learned alot from this class and it was very helpful towards my health and professor erfurt is a really good teacher although my class was online I was still able to learn and understand well as if i was in a actual classroom
Awesome teacher without a doubt. If you follow directions and complete your assignments, you will do well in class. She is a very useful and involved with her students which helps. I recommend taking her if you want to learn and achieve beyond your own expectations. That's what makes a great teacher, one that pushes you higher.
I suspect all the POOR Comments are from students that didn't do so well. Perhaps that is a rating of your own failures rather than the teachers. Following instruction and learning how to critically think should be a part of every class. And honest feed back on your incompetence should be accepted as a sign of help needed. GO JOB Ms. Erfurt
Professor Erfurt is a great teacher! I had her class online,and even online she was very professional and available to answer any questions and give feedback.There is significant amount of reading and writing involved in taking her class, but everything is thoroughly explained and if you follow directions,it is VERY EASY to get an A in this course!
I am sure the negative comments are from the students who did not make it. This is a great class and Ms Erfurt is amazing. She is an expert of the subject, takes the class very seriously and wants her students to do the same. You will learn a lot in this class. yes you will need to follow directions and study:) overall great ecperience!!!!!!
if you want a headache, take her. she should not be a teacher, being a combat in army will match better for her. if you make a mistake in you parer she is gonna make such a big deal out of it, and deduct bunch of points. she wants you to be perfect but does not know exactly what she teaches. THE WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!
This is not an easy online course, where you can get by. It will require attention to details, be internet/computer savvy, and promptness. Once you get used to the first few weekly assignments, it comes easy. Exams are not too hard once you read the book and do the review sheet. There is an essay at the end. Learns a lot though and interesting!
she is a great professor !!!!!
Great professor for an online class. It wasn't a breeze as I thought my other online classes were. But once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing from then onward. You have to do the reading, but the material from the book is at a juvenile reading level so it's easy to absorb. She's also very helpful albeit strict. Interesting class.
If you have trouble following directions do not take her class online. She explains things ONCE and if you have questions she will just tell you to read the syllabus. There are assignments every week that are time consuming. There is quite a bit of work but the class isn't hard. There is a set schedule and she does not allow any flexibility.
By far one of the best instructors I've ever experienced. I took her online course. The only thing that could have made it any better is the traditional class experience. Don't cheat yourself and take anyone else for health 104.
I took the online class and the best way to put it is: Pay attention to her VERY CLEAR instructions and do the work and you will do fine. This is college and she requires college level work. One of the few professors left that cares about the level and quality of her class and if you just pay attention, you will learn a lot.
Great prof! Very clear with her expectations and course work. As long as you read your book and pay attention to what she recommends you do to pass (such as non mandatory worksheets) you will do great. There is a lot of course work but don't worry you will learn a lot of practical knowledge for your own health and wellbeing. =D
She is a very nice person and her course is simple to understand. For people who are interested in learning about health in an online class, this is the perfect class. I did learn alot about the human body from the textbook we were assigned, the course also helped alot.
I highly RECOMMEND Prof. Erfurt. She is Extremely knowledgeable in Health and you will find this class to be life changing and highly useful in your future. You will learn so much and def get your moneys worth. This class is not easy BUT you do not learn in easy classes. As long as you follow her syllabus and clear instructions you will do GREAT!
Professor Erfurt is one of the most dedicated and involved teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from. Taking an online class during Summer was very demanding and one must earn their A but you never feel alone because, unlike a class on campus, the professor is by your side almost 24/7 to guide you in the right direction. SHE IS AMAZING!!!
Prof. Erfurt is a very good teacher and really cares about her stdents. I took her 104 class online and highly suggest it as an alternative if you are crunched on time. Good class too.
Professor Erfurt was truly an amazing teacher to have for this online class. She was with me and the other students every step of the way. Unlike other online teachers, she actually answered back to messages quick and graded the work on time. The work includes reading and quizzes, but she provides extra credit as well. I would 100% recommend her.
I had the opportunity to take Professor Erfurt for Health 104 this past semester. I must say, she is one of the best professors I have ever had. Her response to questions was nearly immediate and she made accommodations to ensure that our learning experience was as smooth as possible. I HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of her first-rate teaching!
If you're looking for a serious learning experience with one of the best teachers at GCC then Professor Erfurt for you. She is there for you 110% of the way and is always there to help and support her students. She is very understanding and more than willing to work with students who show that they are making an effort.
If you wish for your health 104 class to be easy and non challeging, then I sugguest you look elsewhere. Health 104 with Professor Erfurt was very challening and before you start her class please make sure you are 100% involved and organized, or you will not do well.
If you are looking for a no nonsense professor who wants dedication, concentration and hard work then Prof. Erfurt is the one who will help you to learn thoroughly and effectively. She is one of the best professors I've ever had who taught me beyond my expectations.
She spends a lot of time and effort on this class and expects you to as well. I wasn't expecting it considering my last teacher took months to grade our work and we only had to spend a few hours a week outside of class doing work. The class was English, same amount of credits but about 25% of the work. So be prepared for that.
She's a brilliant woman & knows her subject. She is a worker & expects the same from her students. If you're a slacker, you won't like this class. If you want to be motivated by someone & learn, then RUN to take her class; it's like the first year of medical school.
Horrible. This woman is the worst teacher at the college. She is so hated she was booted out of her dance department. Second when I came on here to write a review I saw over a 150 responses. BS. If you can't tell she comes on here to write her own to offset the bad ones. Most professors have 15. Take my advice avoid her. Last she is not hot.
She is passionate about her subject and knows it well. You can really learn a lot from her. Unfortunately she can be very condescending and this makes students hesitant to participate in forums for the online course. Homework assignments are long and redundant and the online methods she uses are not consistent so lots of confusion among students.
It was my first time taking an online class and it was definitely not as easy as I thought it would be. She is passionate about the subject and her lectures are interesting. However, there is a lot of work required so if you are not ready to take an online class then don't! I would recommend this class though.
Everything is done online, she tells you specifically what she wants on the syllabus. She has high expectation and doesn't take anything less than that. She reminds us that we are no longer in high school and just doing the bare minimum isn't going to cut it.
Her quizzes are too situational and trivial. Questions are long and you won't have enough time to answer it in 2 minutes. I don't recommend her style
As a father with a full-time job, I opted for an online option to better fit my busy schedule. Bad idea. I have BARELY had time to play with my daughter, eat lunch at work, or do any other course work. I have a 3.8 GPA and have taken some VERY tough science courses, so I'm no slouch, but this is outrageous. Take this course if you have no life
The most valuable class I ever had, Loved the text book changed my life made me realize how valuable our health is. The whole course was well Organized, you just Login and all the assignments and the homework would be highlighted, she provided us with cool learning tools. quick on responding to emails if you follow her guide no reason not to get 'A
Professor Erfurt helps you think critically and her video lectures were very helpful with the weekly quizzes. Professor Erfurt is efficient at answering questions and replying to e-mails. Although some chapters may be long, you learn a lot of information that will be beneficial to your life. It is not an easy A class, however, it is worth it.
I just had this class online over the summer! Ms. Erfurt is really clear on how the quizzes will be based on. Read the chapters well, go through the worksheets and look at the video lectures. It is a difficult class, I'm not going to lie, but if you follow instructions you will be more than fine! Really liked the class :)
She has too many requirements and uses a point system. Plus if you get A's on all the EXAMS ONLY you will get a D overall. So you have to do so many assignments to get an A! Hardly a college course, take it if you have PLENTY of time to waste i.e. not taking many science/math/difficult courses. Reminded me of high school I dropped after 2 wks
Erfurt makes you work but is indeed helpful ! I didn't regret taking her class.
I really enjoyed taking Ms. Erfurt's online Health 104 class. All her assignments were very helpful. I learned a lot through her videos and assignments. This class and teacher were great!
If you are looking for a EXCELLENT health education base for your future - take this class. You will learn the basics and you will build on that during the whole course. This course provides basic education on nutrition, drugs, diseases, cancer, diabetes, exercise etc. Make your Health Education count and take this class with Prof. Erfurt!
Great teacher, great class!!! Strict, but not at all unfair. Expects you to behave like an adult. Textbook was optional (which was awesome) and lectures were all via video. Several different options to earn points in the class so you can choose what works best for you. Laziness will NOT work in this class!! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Quiz questions are hard & no way to answer them in 2 minutes
tough grader and she is also very arrogant(my personal thought) too. And also if you take online class, don't even think it is gonna be easy class. you have to read whole book and also watch videos. You have to put many time on it. I don't think this class is not worth to put your time. I recommend you to choose another professors.
I've learned a lot during Ms. Erfurt's class Health 104. She is an awesome professor. You need to work in her class, but believe me it worth it. She is one of the best.
This class really taught me a lot about nutrition, Her online quizzes aren't hard but the midterm and final are! If u really love nutrition this shouldn't be a problem. I enjoyed her class and I would recommend this class if u are really interested in becoming a dietitian
Took this class because I work and have a very busy schedule. It has been HORRIBLE. I would not recommend her to anyone. She comes off extremely cocky and rude, talks down to you in pop chats. She does random pop quizzes that send notification to your phone and there's no excuse if you miss them.
HORRIBLE professor. There is no grade breakdown, DIDNT EVEN TELL YOU WHEN YOUR MIDTERM IS TILL THE WEEK OF, still don't know when the FINAL is. extremely arrogant, condescending, rude, unhelpful and unapproachable. If you are reading this, Erfurt, please learn how to better serve your students. How do you not tell students when their exams are?
I dropped the class after 3 weeks & I got my first W because of HER! Her tests are so difficult. She is not fair with her grading, which made me give up. I am a straight A student, but I was not able to even pass the first quiz because she makes her tests SO HARD. If you can take someone else for Health, I suggest you do.
When I took this class, I thought it would be easy, but it is NOT! Do not take her at all, I am serious. She has these participation assignments where students have to make their own quiz questions and picks these random made questions for the midterm and final. Then expects us to study dozen responses... yeah, she was my first class i got out of.
Unreasonably difficult class. Poor communication from the professor's side. Given that I was taking an online class I would expect more communication via email, but nope.. she wasn't very approachable and made it clear she doesn't want us to email us unless it's an emergency. And even in case if that (say links didn't work) she would blame you..
This is a tough class. if you expect that this is a class to help you increase your GPA , you are wrong . You need to work for it. I enjoyed the class and most likely Professor Erfurt. She answered my questions anytime I emailed her and gave good feedback. She did make me delete few things but appreciated the work. overall awesome teacher. BEST
Tons of busy work. You don't need to give an excessive amount of assignments to justify your job. The assignment locations would change. The professor stated all work is on the google doc, then it would be on canvas, then a shared Google drive. Stick to 1 format. Instead of learning the subject matter I basically got through it. No fun
i dont understand how anyone could give her a good review. this class was torture for me. this class is for people who are not taking any other class, not working, and basically have nothing to do all day & can sit & study 24/7. worst class i have taken in my life. my biology class was easier. regret taking it & failing. avoid avoid avoid
Prof. E was a straight forward grader and kept you in the loop throughout the course. You never had to worry about where you stood because she always kept you in the loop. She pushes hard to gain participation but grades fairly if your teammates don't cooperate.
Great class, you get a lot out of Health 104, Prof. E. was very straight forward with what to expect from the course, was doubting in the beginning if taking this class or not but i'm happy i did, it was a lot of work since it was winter semester but very easy process, of course a lot of reading but easy overall.
This online course is work heavy but doable. A few big problems with this class. The Prof makes students use two diff platforms and not the school's Canvas system. TOP HOT, not only sucks to use but you have to buy the Professors $55 online textbook through there to complete homework. Making students use a diff program to then profit off of them?
Avoid unless you have nothing else going on in your life but school. Not recommended for students who have jobs, families or other life responsibilities. Unnecessarily rigorous and Barb can be a bit harsh. You've been warned.
I took this class online, and yes, it is very reading-heavy. I do work full time (55 hrs/week) but with A LOT of time-management, I was able to get all her discussions and readings done. She's not a tough grader, I think she just really likes honesty in the posts. Quizzes are once a week, and you get extra credit for using the virtual study guide
This professor is great, she cares. If you mess up or forget to do something dont expect to be given leeway, but if you stay on top of all your work, do the extra credit and apply yourself, you should have a great semester with Mrs. Erfurt and be able to achieve that A.
This is the hardest online class I've ever took in my life. DON'T take this class. You will literally have no time to do anything else except her homework. And if you miss any homework or turn them in late, she'll drop you from the class. Also she keeps sending random emails. She's the most annoying professor I've ever had. Again don't take her.
Out of all the teachers I have taken at Glendale Community College, she is the best professor I have ever had. I had her for health and P.E. If you don't take any of the classes seriously, you won't pass. She pushes her students to learn! She's always willing to answer all your questions and help. I have learned so much from her! Thank you Prof E!
This teacher doesn't seem to genuinely care for her student future. She was difficult using 2 different format to complete multiple assignment to do in 3 days . Tons of reading and reading other students comments w/ reply. the worst part is that she told me I can drop the class without a W. when I got home from work I dropped it and received a W
I learned a lot in this class more than I needed
I just have to say this course was GREAT! Prof E has high expectations for her students (and rightfully so-she puts a lot of hard work and effort into the course as well) discipline and time management is 100% needed if you want to do well in this course. The material is very informative and Prof E shares all her knowledge with you. Valuable info!
The course guidelines were very clear and easy to follow. It's a HEALTH course so the professor does make you use your brain during assignments. I am at the end of my GE courses and this is the course that I learned the most from. It sounds silly, but the things I learned here changed my life for the better. Best course and learning experience.
Truly an amazing, caring, and very involved Professor. The amount of work required is well doable and 100% manageable. Use your time wisely, and don't expect to take shortcuts. She gives very clear guidelines for the class. The material is very informative and you will learn a lot. Her approach for the class was the best online course I've taken!
I went into this class not thinking much into it but getting credit. That was definitely not the case, as I ended the class. Prof E. makes things clear and as long as you put t time and effort, you will do well. Lots of reading and research its not an easy grade. You have to work for it. You will learn a lot about health and how to stay healthy.
Prof E is one of the best professors I have ever had. She teaches well and she expects students learn well as well. It was my pleasure that I took two courses with her.
The professor is very demanding, does not accept late work but provides with all the info you need to complete the assignments. This class is online, but she is always present "in class", even on weekends. There are no exams but a lot of research. Overall, this class is very informative; workload is doable, even if you work full time and have kids.
this class has so much unnecessary work. communication and clarity in this prof. work is an issue. The class isn't hard, but she makes it complicated in so many ways. almost like trying to make such a simple class more difficult than it should be. you have been warned!
I am a professional dancer & dance team coach for HS students. This class DOES require hard work & dedication but the knowledge I gained from it was well worth the work. Most of the homework is through discussion posts that help you apply the information to real-life situations. She is approachable and AVAILABLE for help. Best textbook I've bought!
If u plan on taking Health 128 to get an easy A, I would suggest not taking this class. If ur here to learn and potentially apply the info learned in ur life or in future occupations, this class is great. There's a lot of content, reading and assignments but if u put in the work it worth it. You have to earn the grade you want not just get it.
Prof E is a great teacher, and offers a great online course. This course is best for students who are truly interested in the material and willing to go in-depth. There is a fairly significant amount of weekly reading, and keeping up with the course may require attentiveness and forethought. Prof E answers all questions and provides good feedback.
Health 104 is a very enriching class. Prof E gives you an opportunity to apply what you learn in a practical way. Be prepared to pay attention to detail on the assignments. It is also a good idea to take good notes as they will be useful.
When I was taking Health 104, I was expecting to have a boring class with difficult books. However, professor Erfurt made the class not just interesting but also very important. A student learns everything that is needed for a healthy lifestyle. You learn how to eat and what to eat, when and why to exercise, and also about the importance of sleep.
So, apparently taking her for an online PE class was an awful idea. Tons of homework. Your assignments will be graded 2-3 months after you submit them, although we only had 12 people in our class. Grading criteria are vague and tough. No chance for rehabilitation. No extra credit. Only negative impressions. Very unprofessional.
Professor E. is definitely one of my favorite teachers! I took Health 104 with her this spring semester, and it was so interesting and informational, she is super fair and understanding when it comes to the tests and assignments, I don't think anyone can fail her class, you'll learn so much from this course, taking her again for fall semester!
I wish she had more courses for the fall semester so I could take them. Out of all my spring classes, hers was the absolute best. Not only are her assignments super helpful, but they also change your perspective on your daily living habits and help you make better choices. She is very helpful and understanding, can't wait for my next class with her
She explains everything very badly
Great class with helpful, applicable information to your life. Except, you could be on your deathbed and she still wouldn't give you any leeway with the deadlines and grades for assignments. You're far better off not taking this class to learn about nutrition. Expect to spend 4+ hours per week on just this class, and that's if you can move quickly.
Course is not the worth the credits for how nitpicky she is take anyone else
bad grader not very good at being helpful super weird course on top of all that her assignments teach you nothing and takes forever since there are 10 a week
While the class offers valuable and applicable information for daily life, it is crucial to note that the instructor maintains an unwavering stance on deadlines and grades. Even in extreme circumstances, such as being seriously ill, there is no flexibility. (DO NOT TAKE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IF YOU WANT A GOOD GPA)
The course provides valuable and applicable information for daily life; however, it's critical to note that the instructor maintains a rigid stance on deadlines and grades, allowing no exceptions, even in extreme cases like serious illness.
It appears that this instructor lacks genuine concern for the future of her students. She made completing multiple assignments in two different formats within a three-day timeframe challenging. The workload involved extensive reading, including comments from other students, with replies expected.
I find it hard to comprehend how anyone could provide a positive review for her. It's designed for individuals who aren't juggling other classes, not working, and essentially have all day free to study around the clock. In my experience, it's the most challenging class I've ever taken, even more so than my biology class.
She's a strict grader, and in my personal opinion, quite arrogant. If you're considering an online class, don't assume it'll be a breeze. You're required to read the entire book and watch videos, demanding a significant time commitment. I don't believe this class is worth the investment of your time.
This instructor is the least competent at the college. She's so disliked that she was expelled from the dance department. Additionally, when I attempted to leave a review, I noticed over 150 responses, which seems highly unlikely. It appears she might be writing her own positive reviews to counteract the negative ones.
Prepare for a headache if you choose her. Teaching isn't her forte; she'd be better suited for combat in the army. A simple error in your paper becomes a major ordeal with substantial point deductions. She demands perfection but lacks clarity in her teachings. Undoubtedly, the worst teacher ever!
SHE FAKES HER OWN REVIEWS DO not take.
Dreadful. The college's worst instructor was ousted from the dance department due to widespread disdain. Suspicion arises as I found over 150 reviews upon writing mine. It seems she may be fabricating positive reviews to counter the negatives. Typically, professors have around 15 reviews, making her numbers questionable. Heed my advice RUN.
Appalling. The college's most disliked instructor, expelled from the dance department due to widespread discontent. My suspicion grew when I discovered over 150 reviews while writing mine. It appears she might be crafting positive reviews to counterbalance the negatives, a departure from the usual 15 reviews for most professors.
Enrolling in her online PE class turned out to be a terrible decision. The workload is overwhelming, and assignments take 2-3 months to grade, despite a class size of only 12 people. The grading criteria are unclear and stringent, with no room for improvement or extra credit.
The college's most disliked instructor, expelled from the dance department due to widespread discontent. My suspicion grew when I discovered over 150 reviews while writing mine. It appears she might be crafting positive reviews to counterbalance the negatives, a departure from the usual 15 reviews for most professors.
The instructor, widely disliked and removed from the dance department at the college, raised my suspicion as I found over 150 reviews while composing mine. It seems she could be generating positive reviews to offset the negatives, a departure from the typical 15 reviews most professors receive.
The college's least favored instructor, ousted from the dance department, caught my attention when I encountered over 150 reviews while writing mine. There's a possibility she's crafting positive reviews to counterbalance the negatives, which deviates from the standard 15 reviews for most professors.
The college's most unpopular instructor, ousted from the dance department, triggered my suspicion as I uncovered over 150 reviews while writing my own. It seems she might be manufacturing positive reviews to balance the negatives, a shift from the customary 15 reviews for most professors.
The college's most disfavored instructor, removed from the dance department, triggered my suspicion as I stumbled upon over 150 reviews while crafting mine. It seems she might be fabricating positive reviews to balance the negatives, a shift from the customary 15 reviews for most professors.
this person love to encourage you to DROP instead of do your BEST, I don't understand why California academic standards keeps hiring this kind of person who can't even normally communicate although I hardly believe someone care what we write here, poor students lol
The professor has a rigid grading system, but the class covers useful daily life topics. Unstuckstudy ai was a lifesaver for study prep - definitely made things more manageable.
communication style is patronizing, condescending and inconsistent. she contradicts her own feedback. will change requirements and withhold points on an assignment after due date/submission. her harmful communication style was so distracting it overshadowed the entire learning experience. i would not recommend her to anyone.
