I had her for Stress Management, the meditation was the best part. I felt so relaxed after her class, it was almost hard to drive home afterwards. Her test were all open book, and fairly easy if you read the material and knew where to look for answers.

Be sure to read the assigned chapters in the book! Even if she doesn't cover it in class it is fair game for the tests (which are easy). A lot of people didn't do well in the class, but they didn't bother to read the book, either.

class was fun and informative. would attend another class if it fell into my degree requirements

Loved Konopka. She really does help you learn the material. It is a difficult class but she makes it much easier than other profs. at the school.

I found this class to be very easy. She is a great teacher

Easy Class.. Interesting.. How ever the exercise part can be boring.. she might change it next semester i ended up witha b- would have been an A if i attended the gym part more often.. easy assignments as long as you do everything she asks people leave out details and dont get the grade they could

If you study and take time to do the project there is NO reason you shouldn't get an A in this class. The tests are hard, but even if you don't do that well on them she drops the lowest score AND gives you a ton of extra credit opportunities. Because of the extra credit I got 80/60 on the project, and that gave me an A in the class.Do the workbook!

To succeed in this class you must really read the material and study, study, study. There is plenty of extra credit, and the SI will help you. Konopka was interesting and very nice, but her lectures covered a third of what you really needed to know. I enjoyed the class, and learned so much from it. Just be prepared to put plenty of time into it.

This instructor is one of the friendliest and most commited at occ. She is kind and very giving of her time. She goes out of her way help students succeed and teaches very creatively. Tests are comprehensive so you really need to learn everything in the chapter to do well, but its worth it. I learned so much from Konopka and enjoyed her lectures.

She is a Very understanding Proffesser, Class material does not neccessarly show up on tests. However if you are having a problem in the class she has a SI, and will recomend you to the pass office. The test scores are very deciving. I thought I was failing and ended up with a B in the class. She allows for plenty of extra credit. SI Tina rocks!

this was the best instructor i ahve ever had. I had to miss a test due to family problems and she had no problem letting me make it up at my conveinence. I would definately reccomend taking this insructor.

I had no interest in this subject and was taking it as a pre-req for my program. Amazingly she moved me a 180 degrees. By the time the semester was over I hated to leave the class. Her lectures are 1/3 of the test material. Do not get behind and don't give up. The first test is hard but it a weed out test for those who really want to be there.

First test is a depart test (weed out test). Do not fret if you do avg or slightly below. Take her up on her extra credit (esp the larger point ones) and take advantage of the after class tutoring by the SI's. They will save you. I was not interested at all, but learned to hate leaving the class. Know the text besides the lecture.

Dr. Konopka is one of the kindest and most considerate people I've ever known. She goes out of her way to assure that students have all the tools they need to succeed. I was very impressed by her willingness to sacrifice personal time to meet with students that needed the extra attention. I highly recommend this instructor.

Be prepared to put alot of time in.Not a blow off class.Dr. K is great.Memorization is the key to a great grade. Go to all of the study groups/sessions.

Tough! Must read book thoroughly to do well on very detailed tests. Too much info to cover in lecture. Prof is kind and interesting but the SI covers all test info in detail. MUST attend SI sessions for an A. Lots of extra credit offered. Do ALL of it and you'll definitely pass. Interesting class but too much covered at once.

Teacher was helpful when asked questions and was always pleasant in class. Lectures did not always cover test material. Attend the study sessions lead by SI's. I felt like I should have studied more but ended up with an A in the class. Getting an A is very doable. Do show up for lectures - it is worth extra points and you do cover math problems.

This isn't a fluff class. It takes a lot of study time. If you don't need it for your major or aren't interested in nutrition it's probably not for you. I loved the class, but it was very hard. Dr. K was fantastic at helping with any questions students had though, and has teacher aids in the class to help as well.

The material is difficult. Read every chapter in the book and go to SI if you can, they hand out study sheets. Dr. K offers a lot of extra credit( on the exams, project, and each class is worth 1 pt). I skipped 2 times. And when it came down to my final grade I was 1 point away from an "A" ended up with an "A-". So make sure you don't skip!!!

As many of the others have mentioned, her tests are not easy.However, they do come directly from the book. If you read the chapters thoroughly (yes, she does pull questions from little details), you should be able to do fine in her class. I also recommend the study sessions, as she is great and her handouts are really helpful. Lots of Extra Credit!

She is a great professor! If you go to class, study the book, and do the online study material you will do fine. The tests are easy and even if you don't do great on one, she'll drop it. Lot's of easy extra credit!

She is so lovely! When I registered for her class and checked her ratings, I got really scared. But this page is full of unnecessary negativity. She does 1hour review before tests, VERY helpful, and her class is fun. tests are difficult, but a breeze if you study the book. She gives SO much extra credit! PLUS 10 extra credit points for every test.

Also I would like to add that if you're gonna study for your tests, read the study material she posts online. Questions from that are on the test! She is a great teacher. Seriously.. read the book, make sure you understand everything, and take the test with confidence. My lowest test grade has been an 88.

Dr. K is wonderful. She's so happy & always upbeat. Yes, her tests are hard, but if you listen to her lectures and do the study guides in the back of the book, you're golden. Definitely do the extra credit, there's no reason you shouldn't get an A. Also, she lets you drop your lowest test score. She is just great. Highly recommended!

Mrs Konopka was an amazing teacher!

She was very nice and helpful. Got the whole class involved. The SI helped out a lot and gave out study guides. Exams were straight out of the book. She also gave a lot of extra credit which helps!!!

Great, upbeat personality. Kept the students evolved in the discussion. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with your nose in the book. This class covers a lot of material. Tests are hard, material came right out of the study guide and text.

I loved this class! Konopka is such an up beat person full of information. I always looked forward to her class! She is very clear and helpful answering all questions and giving us her advice. I recommend this class!

She is passionate about nutrition and at times you will feel like she is trying to teach you how to do her job. She gives extra credit opportunities and drops the lowest test score except final which all test are cumulative. If you read, study, do extra credit you will be fine. This class is not easy.

I LOVED Dr. K! You'll do great in this class if you read the chapters, make flash cards, and do the extra credit. She's very nice and very knowledgeable.

I love Dr. K! Her SI Laura is amazing too. I took her for Nutrition in the Summer and passed with an A-there aren't many assignments and the tests are straight forward. Study the questions at the end of the chapter and the key points, do your assignments, and go to study group with Laura, and you will pass and learn a lot. Great class!

Listen carefully in class. Dr. K uses lecture information on her tests. Be very careful about the wording on tests; it can be quite tricky. She expects students to give their best effort, and she is encouraging. Do the extra credit. She uses some great learning techniques in class and she provides relevance with newspaper articles, Ted Talks, etc.

Dr K was a great teacher, and gives her students every chance to succeed in her class. She's very interesting and keeps class fun and fresh. In saying that, you have to study. As long as you listen in on lectures and study at home, this class is very do-able. If you're lazy, then this is not the professor/class for you. She also gives TONS of EC!

Dr. K is a little tough, but very fair. She offers more than enough extra credit! At least 10 pts per exam and several other opportunities. 5 exams and you get to drop your lowest grade! It's not necessary to attend classes, but you get extra credit to do so. She'll stress the points you need to know. There is also an SI for assistance.

Stress management; can't go wrong. Just study for the easy quizzes, she does powerpoints each class, then posts them on D2L; scantron needed. Just make sure you follow along, and actually try these exercises to reduce stress. It's very helpful!

She is very nice and a great teacher. She gives extra credit and open book tests!!

I cannot for the life of me figure out any of these bad reviews! Dr. Konopka is easily one of my favorite professors I've ever had. I am a returning student continuing into a master program so Ive had dozens of professors and she is one of the best! Hands down! So caring and her class was very resourceful. You get the grade you earn! She's great!

I love Dr. Konopka, I took her for stress management and nutrition and she was amazing for both. Consulars make her seem like she no bs type of professor but she is really easy to work with and flexible. For nutrition, though there is a lot of book work she gives you 3-4 weeks to complete it, and there is some in-class work too.

Super organized teacher who relies to emails quickly. Very passionate about her job and makes the class and material easy to follow. In this class you must complete Weekly questions about chapters, review chapter outlines (she provides), take five tests, complete assignments (about course work), do connect work, and do extra credit work.

I had this professor for Stress Management: Neuromuscular Relaxation class. I learned so much in this class and enjoyed it very much! There was homework and quizzes almost every week, but for me it was worth it. I would definitely take classes from her again.
