online class 'personal & community health'! great teacher! lots to do but if you do it all... you should get an 'A' easily. i really enjoyed this teacher.
Online, EASY A.Just make sure you do labs ahead of time,not last minute like I did, lol.If you're in shape,fitness test is easy,just make sure to get in 4 hours a week anyway.I like how the course goes over all areas of fitness,not just physical fitness.
Really cool teacher dont take any unnecessary (BS)Very helpful. Like her class alot learn alot of life saving techniques very hands on. I would recommend her to anyone.
Professor Dodson changed my life with her personal health class. Was helpful,friendly and very involved.I would recommend this class to anyone.A lot of work, but well worth it.
Great Professor, I would recommend this instructer to anyone interested in taking this course. It may at times seem like there is a lot of work, but if you do the work you will walkout with an A average. Just don't take any shortcuts when you do the work.
Very interesting class tought by a very helpful professor, recommend himm to all!!
Too much work for a 1 credit class! You have to read the whole textbook in order to do the class work. Then you will be tested at a gym. You will walk 3 miles within 30 minutes to get a good grade, lift weights and do 50 sit ups as a final exam. Horrible class
This was an online class Individual Fitness I recommend this class to those who absolutely can not attend class. You need to do your quizzes and lab assignment each week and keep weekly journal of exercises. Make sure you work out the whole time because you will need it for the fitness test. I made a A but it was not an easy one.
I thouroughly enjoyed Professor Dodson's class, she is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend taking her class. The information in the class is some the most helpful and beneficial information you will receive and use in your everyday life, from a class. Easy A if you follow the assignments; even if you procrastinate you should walk out with a B.
Great class. Would recommend to anyone..
Teriffic class, should be a requirement for all students. Lots of work, but a great Professor!
One of the best Professors I have ever had. The class should be required for every student. This class is all about you and she teaches you how to become a better you. Would recommend to everyone. Professor expects college level work and there is a ton of work, but the end result is great. You even have to plan your own funeral...yuck!
online class 'personal & community health'! great teacher! lots to do but if you do it all... you should get an 'B' easily. i really enjoyed this teacher.
This teacher gives a lot of work in this class, she even makes you do a project creating your own funeral. She gives you 10 journals to do and she is picky on must be 2 pg each for each one or points off!! Two movies must watch and write about, test are okay it's like taking psycology. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
Tests ok! she gives many assignments to write and you must follow the instructions. Let your 2 pages be full 2 pages because you get penalize for that.The test are critical thinking;however, open book may not really help. You will read the book from 1st page to the last within short period because each test contains about 4-5 ch and you have 4 test
Each and every student should be required to complete this Health class. It is absolutely life changing. She expects college level work, so no complaining if you are not a dedicated student!
I took this lady online...it is allot of work and she gave me a D for her personal and community health class. i missed one test and she grades very hard. out of all the work she gives you..you have to do all of it. i mean i even did extra credit and went to the walk marathon... and still got a D. and i tried. now i have to retake this class.
I just finished this 5 week course, and boy was it alotof work. It's very intense and there is ALOT of work involved but it can be done. You have to make sure you follow her instructions on the assignments or it will result in points off. I am satisfied with my grade and learned alot form the class that I will use in my everyday life.
I took her for health online. She was cool. Straight to the point gives alot of work, test you must study for or have a good book marking system. You leanr alot in her class however it is more of a universal health type deal with mind body spirit not just regular health. must have book and the book is cheap.
very helpful teacher. 4 tests and 1 final. Tests are very tricky. However, 50% of your grade is your project. 10 journals, 2 video review and project. Do it well and you will easily get a B. Do not miss your tests, and do your work as she said. Nice teacher.
I took Prof. Dodson for the mini term. Expect to work your butt off. 4 exams (drops the lowest and doubles the highest) plus a final. 2 video assignments, 10 worksheets, 10 journals plus a project where you create your own funeral. If you're lazy, don't take this class. Follow her directions CAREFULLY and you should get an A. Not easy but not hard.
A Leader, and expects you to be one too, all the material is interesting and class activities add that much more!
i too her online class and was very interesting. alots of work but as you follow her instruction it is very easy done with the assignments. All you learn is a daily bases activities you use in your life;from life to your death.
Amazing professor. Her health class is amazing and easy. Buy the book because she allows you to use them on the exams.
Expect around 9 journals, 2 film reflection papers, a community service project, a sex ed project, and a celebration of life project. All of the tests/quizzes are taken online in the computer lab and are open book. She doesn't cancel class often, but if she does, expect her to leave an assignment online due by the end of class.
Prof Dodson is a great instructor. She crams a lot of work in those 8 weeks, so be prepared to work. Her syllabus is incredibly clear. If you submit your assignments on time and pass her exams, which are straight forward and easy, you will get an A. She even gives extra credit so there is no reason to get anything less than an A if you work.
easy class. i would definitely take her. i barely used my textbook. there is a community service project where u have 2 do four hours. the easiest A ever. i wish she taught other classes cause the work really made you dig deep into your self & makes u want 2 make changes in ur life. a lot of wrk for 8 weeks, but its not hard at all. TAKE HER CLASS
This was one of the easiest online classes! Professor Dodson provided great feedback and her syllabus was straight to the point. The coursework was heavy but very easy A if you complete your assignments on time. There was a mandatory community service project, but overall I enjoyed the class and the Professor. Take her class and you won't regret it
She is very helpful. Requires participation and makes you enjoy your time in college.
I cannot say enough great things about this Professor. She changed my life. Every student should have to take her class. If you need a good class, this is the one. You will learn things about yourself that will amaze you. Stay on track with the lessons and there is no reason you cannot make a good grade.
Professor Dodson is the best. Just finish her 8 week class. amazing, I had a baby and she worked with me to give me a little extra time. I learn so much. Take her class.
I do not regret taking her, she gives a lot of homework, I did 10 journals of 800 worlds, but the topic are very very very very easy, about family, health, communication and other topics. She respond very fast. It was only five tests and the lower grade she will drop it.
Pretty easy and simple class. DO the work, you will pass. Simple as that. Oh, and she's very nice, every week she sends us encouraging announcements.
I cannot say enough great things about this Professor. She changed how I think about life. All student should have to take her class. If you need a good class, this is the one.

There's alot of reading and notes to take if you want to use her notes from the powerpoints. There are a few extra credit opportunities as well as journals that you have to do. With the discussions, make sure you respond to at least 3 people. She always gives you feedback on an assignment after its been graded.
Too her for online class. Great teacher and puts up a lot of quotes about life for a better perspective. Books helps a lot when it comes to tests. All her essays are pretty easy and you learn from each essay you do.
Professor Dodson went above and beyond to help me in this course. Her online class is informative and she provides you with details that match the syllabus timeline. If you complete all the assignments you will be fine. Very understanding and willing to respond. I learned more information in this class than others I've taken.
This class was amazing. She interacts and gives you encouraging words. Real easy read, do your work and you will pass! Work is due weekly but the load is not heavy so it can be done.
I love Prof. Dodson, I took her class 2 semesters in a row. Her assignments are clear, she wants all her students to succeed. She's fun and overall just a great professor. Do your work, and you will pass. Simple as that. Her classes are not hard at all, just take your time and read.
She is so amazing! She is one of the sweetest professors I have ever taken. She sends out announcements with cute little messages about staying healthy and what the assignments are for the week. A few exams but they are easy as long as you read the book. Yes, you will need the book but the class is great. I would definitely take her again!
Nice professor, but be ready to do lots of homework, then your A is sure. She gives extra credit and you have to volunteer. I took it online for 3week but easy I got an A. Hard work pays, No lazy students oh if you do not want to work.
I will be the bad guy here. it was not a good class under this professor, i have disabilities, there was a lot of misinterpretations, condescending attitude from her directions. Non returned calls twice! This was not a happy time under her, and it was a least a great course to learn ,but not under her even with doctor notes to her. non recommend!
I didn't have any issues reaching her via email, and the class is very easy. You can pass without the book. Taken as a 5wk summer class and passed with an A easily. There are a few "essays", but all completed very easily. She's not a hard grader, meet the word count, have proper grammar and stay on topic.
I dont know what classes the students below took but I didn't have this awesome experience. The class was a first aid class and we were treated like pre-med students. It was too many special projects and lets not forget the lockdown browser fot testing.
Short discussions and a few papers. The grading criteria is laid out in the syllabus, but don't worry, you don't need to be a grammar champ to get a good grade on your essays,
If you want to do a lot of work for a class that will never affect your life then this is the professor.
Professor Dodsons class should have been an easy A. However, the assignments given outside of class have nothing to do with the actual course. Shes quite rude as well. She docked me 45 points on an oral presentation based on technicalities like having a fan in the back ground and didnt give any comments on the content. Dont take this class.
Thinks she's the only professor so assigns large amounts of work every week. No late work is accepted.
I have come back to school after 25 years to finish up my degree. Professor Dodson's online class was organized and assignment well spaced. She always responded to emails in a timely manner. The material was not overloaded so the lessons were actually learned and not crammed in. She does not give "busy" work. I will be taking another one of classes
I am an adult learner. Unfortunately, my class consisted of several immature dual credit high school students who complained during the required discussions. Very disturbing. Professor Dodson is one of the best Professors online. I have taken many others. Her courses are organized and every lesson is meaningful. Take her, you will not regret it.
Harder than necessary on grading policies. Gives out terrible assignments and expects you to "figure it out". Doesn't care about students situations and marks off for trivial things. Stay away if you can.
Tough grader, Prepare to write lots of essays! Overall shes nice, definitely keeps in contact with the class.
She actually cares about you. Discussions due Sunday, 4 papers, just about you and your goals ( a big diary 700words). One paper about volunteering(easy 500words). 4 50 question MC test-open notes- No lockdown. The class was straightforward, answered questions in a timely matter. solid 8/10. Only did work on the weekends and got a 97 in the class.
Currently taking this class and it has been so easy. Just do the assignments which are 2 per week; a lesson quiz for the week of five questions that's open notes and your fitness logs that you have to do three times a week and it can be walking or jogging for more than 30 minutes. Doesn't accept late work but gives plenty of time to do. Easy class!
Professor Dodson is a great teacher. Her assignments are not hard just as long as you follow the directions everything is going smoothly for me in her class.
Do not take this class! It was pretty easy assignments be ready to do lots of work. Cramped 3 project assignments into 1 week. Don't take this class if you don't need to. Took this class in regards of the positive feedback but beware. Took this course in the summer.
surprise midterms
Assignments are unfairly hidden throughout the course
It is a manageable class, but staying on top of your work is key. She is a nice professor but can grade a little harsh. Easy to fall behind but the work is honestly easy mainly just busy work. Take advantage of super easy extra credit opportunities on Monday.
Strict grader won't give you the rubric for an assignment and expects you to somehow know what will be knocked off.
Will give extra credit and not attach any instructions and then act disappointed you didn't do it. Expect 90% of the courses work dumped on you in one week.
Discriminates against students with disabilities avoid her at all costs, someone like this should not have any proximity to health related fields.
Gives a rubric but doesn't grade based off it, if you misunderstand part of a project she will give you a zero and will dodge any attempts at contacting her.
Had to do a grade appeal because she was too lazy to grade any assignments.
Doesn't respond to emails in a timely fashion and refuses to elaborate on any questions you may have. Not understanding at all when it comes to learning disabilities even after being sent a letter of accommodation.
Worst professor I've had, no communication, rude, and unprofessional. Takes points off for things out of people's control knocked off points from my video project because I had an air purifier on in a room with mold growing.
Have had my power out since the hurricane, she's unwilling to accommodate or extend any deadlines, made it clear I was willing to put in the work but she basically told me too bad and I should have planned better.
Not sure what these positive reviews are about, she is completely uncompromising.
completely uncompromising. She rude and doesnt give clear communication. Talks to you as if she is above you and that you aren't human. She didn't care about the storm happening and not having power told us to figure it out. she went to hospital to get internet and that the students should have done the same. she doesnt care
Followed step by step what the book told me to do, was told it was wrong and condescended to when I brought up that she literally told me to do the opposite.
Get ready to fail this class because she thought your powerpoint wasn't decorative enough or she flat out refuses to grade your work.
Worst professor I've ever had put hours into projects to get grades in the single digits when asked about this she says follow the rubric, so I look at the rubric my project clearly fit all the listed criteria and all she has to say is "you should just try harder" I think she gets off on being unreasonable.
Knocks off points for arbitrary reasons points to the rubric but as far as what the rubric said I fit the criteria.
Had some extra credit where we have to do a survey that auto submits once completed, but apparently showing you did the survey that auto submits alone isn't enough proof.
From day 1 she was condescending to me, refused to elaborate on any questions I asked her about stuff I didn't understand. She seems to think that because my disability isn't visible I don't have one and shouldn't be given accommodations which by the way is a felony under the ADA.
Doesn't seem to care or have time for students, tried contacting her multiple times throughout the semester to no response, but when you ask her about taking the CPR test she'll get right back to you just a coincidence that she takes $30 under the table for that.
I wouldn't take her class if she was the last one standing, She grades too hard and her understanding is Zero. I can't believe that HCCS has an unprofessional no understanding person like her working here I explain to her about the hurricane and the lights being off, and no internet. The lines were down she talking about call IT. Terrible!
Doesn't seem to understand what she's teaching questions I've asked often went unanswered and when they were the most I'd get were vague 1-3 word responses. After the current semester I'll have half my credits done with a current GPA of 3.8 she is the only professor I have ever had a problem with at HCC that has been so unwilling to work things out
Didn't have power for half the course after the hurricane, communicated this but she was unwilling to extend deadlines even after telling her I could have it all done in time. She seemed very inconvenienced
Caprice Dodson along with the head of the Education department have a long history of racism that HCC has tried to cover up, professor Dodson and the department are unwilling to do their jobs. Their strong biases makes it impossible for them to be impartial. She thinks her tenure means she can not teach or grade assignments and the dept agrees.
She is not very understanding. I submitted an assignment and wasn't told it was submitted incorrectly until after the grading period when I received a 0. I asked her in the message center to re submit in the proper format and she never responded. I then emailed her and she claims I submitted late and incorrectly which is not true.
She asks you to do volunteering work hours for group projects that are worth 100 points and 60 of those points is a picture of you doing it so there's no way to get an A in the class if you want to refuse doing that. What is this. Also has due dates every day instead of on the weekends. I had to drop bc i could not deal.
By far the worst professor I have had throughout my entire time at HCC and I'm almost done with my degree. She submitted my final grade without actually grading all of my coursework and when I submitted a grade appeal admin seemed to have no problem with it.
She is a great teacher and very respectful and a great grader.
