The material covered is pretty basic, his tests were quite unfair, we were tested intensely on material that he breifly covered & not tested at all on material that he went in depth on in class. & the way he words his tests questions there are multiple "right" answers ya just have to guess which one is the most right. (remember STD's & Cancer's)

He's a really good professor, hilarious, helpful and not bad to look at either. His class is fairly easy as long as you put in a little effort and study for the tests. His class is not boring because he tells lots of fun stories and doesn't waste a lot of time making you memorize stats. This is a good class to take.

Dave was a good teacher when he was there. He missed alot of our classes. His tests were not exactly clear. However, if you point out the wrongs he fixed them and most likely gave credit. He uses some cuss words - which I could have done without. :) Other than that he was alright. I think he's more for Cross Country than Health.

Dave, Dave, Dave.... He is a nice guy, but class was always interrupted by people looking for coach caldwell which irritated me. His lecture is garbage. It is absolute trash. And his test are moderately difficult if you don't read the book. He is a super nice guy who acts rather immaturely, kind of like he was trying to teach some 7th grade kids.

For a 2 credit class that forces you to work out for hours and hours each week, I felt he really required a lot from us on the paperwork end of things.

I love this class and Dave, every assignment he lays out what you need to do and all the resources you need. If you do everything, it is an easy A. Remember to turn everything in on time because there is no credit for late work.

Awful to deal with if you have a DSS plan. Would not work with me for my accommodations and basically called me lazy for having them. When the time came that I needed to use them, it told me I needed to withdraw from the class or I would fail.

Dave tells the funniest stories from his own life during lectures. He gives opportunities for extra credit and can draw on a wealth of experience in the health and fitness fields of study.

As long as you complete all your assignments and put in effort, this class is a breeze. Prof Cladwell is cool and a great professor, his requirements and criteria are well stated and crystal clear.
