great teacher - fun class - you will enjoy it

was an awesome professor...very fun and helpful!

awesome teacher! very nice, fun class

I had Crider for both personal management and Tai Chi for self defence..He was awesome, and very helpful. I recommend him big time for Tai chi but for health he is not easy but he is not hard at all though.

aww hes soo nice! and knows his stuff!

More than grades, he wants to help you in life.

He is the man! This is a great man teaching ...you can learn lots from him.

Really nice guy and very helpful. One of my fav. profs i've ever had..def. recommend him! Activities in class are fun also

personal fitenss online was really easy and dr. crider is great. he's really nice, understanding and helpful! he doesn't just want to help you pass the course, but wants to really help you be healthy. great course & teacher!

A lot of fun in class. Very informative. Tests can be tricky because everything seems like common sense, but if you study from the book you'll be fine! Great prof!

This teacher helps you very much

Excellent teacher- excellent class. Very helpful.

Kind of a boringish teacher, but very nice and helpful. Its hard to go to the class because you really don't do much in it. Tests are not very hard.. class kind of blah.

He's an ok teacher. I think the class can be rather boring many times though. I hated the fact that he doesnt give study guides for his tests, but a lot of questions are common sense. If you pay attention in class and study a little, you'll be fine.

Seriously, who fails health? Everyone who takes his class.

he's awesome

Awesome Teacher, Very Helpful

I took him for Tai Chi for Self Defense. Skills assessment was easy, but the quizes (who quizes in a gym class???) where hard. They must now count for very much cause I ended up with an A in the class and I got a 70 on the first quiz. OTher wise the class was easy

Kind, encouraging and non-judgmental. Fairly easy grader. However, he asks strange and subjective questions on quizzes. Some tai chi quiz material might come from his health class, which could be a problem if you're taking health with someone else.

go to the class right before exams... very helpful

easy class, but SO repetitive it's annoying. you do the same thing everyday. the tests are IMPOSSIBLE (the final and midtern), i studied for hours and still failed. he's always willing to help, though.

I dont know what problem some people have with him. I think they forget to tell you that they went to half of the classes, go to class, take notes, easy B, and if you do the behavior change and the presentation, should be an easy A.

there is a lot to learn in this 1 credit class. he is alright tough.i sucked as far as tai chi is concerned,but he appreciated my effort and presence.I got a B and was happy about it.This class will be easy for those who are good at dance or this type of activieties. enjoyed my time there overall :)

very fair and will assist you if needed

He was very understanding of my situation when i had class with him. He understood why i had to change my "goal" that we had to write in a journal about. I was very pleased with him.

The actual Tai Chi movements were easy, but there was nothing given in class for the midterm or final. Apparently, it's all in the book. I got an A without it, but was suprised. Everybody else said that all the information wasn't in the book, anyway. Attendence was too much of the grade.

Dr. Crider is a nice guy, but I wouldn't reccomend taking him for health. His tests don't really come from the material that he presents. I studied for a long time but still struggled with them. It should of been a class that was an easy A but as of right now I have a C.

Had Dr. Crider twice this semester and LOVED him! Of course attendance is mandatory for Tai Chi, how else are you going to learn the techniques. I'd love to take another Tai Chi course with Dr. Crider.

He's really nice and helpful, teaches a good Phys Ed class. You just have to put forth some effort, and you'll be fine.

The clickers he used sucked, and the class was way too boring to sit there for two hours straight. Take the two day class if you get a choice. Nice guy, grades with a curve, and adds in extra credit after the curve. Only 3 tests and a "behavior change assignment". Easy if you do the assignment, and show up. I reccomend him for this class.

I took tai chi for personal defense and loved it. You have to go to class because he expects you to know all the moves and be able to do them without thinking too much about it. Overall, he is reasonable and fair, but watch out for his tests- you have to read the book because they're on things you don't go over in class.

Crider is perfectly fine for Social Dance. The class doesn't involve too much as it is, and he doesnt overdo anything. Show up to class, and you will have no problem getting a good grade. If you get involved, you will have fun too.

Incredibly great teacher! Loved how he related what was being taught to real life experiences. Smoking hot body, too!

He's a nice guy, and he knows his stuff, but his notes don't really flow. It's easier to just read his powerpoints online. Most of the information is common knowledge, but he makes a lot of trick questions. He isn't very clear in what he's saying a lot of the time, but he seems like a nice guy, and it's not a hard class. The iclicker is unnecessary

Don't buy the book, not worth it. Pretty decent class just show up and pay attention and you'll do fine. Journals are %10 of your grade I think and they help for people who arent good with tests. Class isn't bad I wouldn't mind taking it again.

Possibly one of the best teachers in Pa. He tells stories but they are about how class work will relate to life. People cry about him but half of them did show up to class or try.

Awesome guy. Study for a couple hours before the test and you'll pass easily. The material is literally straight out of a 9th grade health book.

He's a great person and great professor, likes to get to know his students, their are little assignments throughout the semester, two exams, and one big project/assignment. The big assignment is a semester long project. Their is a presentation based off your project. Overall, good class and you learn a lot.

I took stress management with Crider. We did not use the textbook once. I learned a lot of "real life" stuff. There are few assignments, they're easy enough (2 papers, 2-3 presentations) but I found instructions to be very unclear. We also did some Tai Chi, which was unexpected.

Dr. Crider was my favorite professor this semester. I really enjoyed his FYS class and if I have the ability to take another one of his classes I definitely will. He is extremely caring and gives great advice and is very open to change if you do not like something he does in his class.

Although I have observed numerous negative comments about him, I firmly believe he frequently shares stories that are always pertinent to the discussions at hand. These narratives are both inspiring and motivational, intended to help us learn from others' mistakes.
