Hotty with a body. So nice! Very enthusiastic about everything. Tests are simple, goes right along with the study guide. No final, just an exam on the 3rd section. You don't have to buy the book, just borrow it for like 2 hours from somebody who does, just so you can fill out the study guides for exams.

LOVE Mr. C. The chief grades are the tests but he gives detailed study guides--if you read them you'll get an A. Homework every week that he doesn't check in detail--you just need to do it. 5q quizzes to go with the homework (if you've done it you'll get an A). His lectures are funny and he pursues relationships with his students.

I like him& he does truly care. The info he talks about in class is more of a trying to hep you be a better person, which is appreciated but is not info needed for tests. Attendance he does take but I'm not sure how it affects my grade. I study & sadly still failed one of his tests because the questions on test are not really spoken on in class.

Brian was the best professor I have had at ECU. This class was in the evening, so sometimes it was hard to convince myself to go/not get tired during it. He made me actually want to go to class and want to pay attention because his lectures were so intriguing. Can't say enough good things about him and highly recommend him for any class!!

Mr. Cavanaugh is by FAR my favorite professor at ECU! He discusses health in such a way that it had my whole class paying attention the entire time. He tries to get to know each student on an individual level and gives you all the necessary resources to be successful.

A very caring professor. Complete the Health workbook assignments. Always shares great stories/experiments and makes his presentations interactive! If you miss a workbook assignment, he will give you a free pass for that week. Exams are after every 4 workbook assignments! Easiest class and best professor to take. Always looked forward to this class

Take this class with him. He is an amazing, funny, real and down to earth man. Class is very straight forward and easy. You have 3 exams and a few pages of a workbook due each week. You will only meet once a week and the day you meet depends on your last name. Exams are simple and easy not much studying is needed. Take him!!

I had the worst experience known to man in my senior year health class in high school. I took Mr. Cavanaugh's class and he somehow made health actually fun and useful. He not only made me want to get an A in the class but also to actually understand and learn what I was being taught because you will learn nothing but useful things in his class.

Very good professor who genuinely cares about his students. Attendance is tracked using a weekly workbook, and the majority of his extra credit is earned by donating blood during a blood drive. Study for his tests, and you will easily pass the class.

He is literally the nicest man ever and genuinely cares for his students (like he learns everyones names the first week). Everything you learn in this class is useful and can be applied to your own life. If you study the workbook tests are easy. On top of all of this, he is probably the best looking man i have ever seen

This class was very informational. Mr. Cavanaugh cared much that his students and that they are able to adapt to the college lifestyle in a healthy manner. This class made me care more about my lifestyle in college because Mr. Cavanaugh showed how important it is to take care of yourself. Take him. He is great.

Mr. Cavanaugh is an awesome teacher, every week I looked forward to his lectures. Each week, all the health teachers assign a 15-minute guided notes assignment, which is really easy. As long as you show up to class and complete the work on time, it's an easy A!
