He is amazing! The best teacher ever.

Excellent professor. He is very friendly and approachable.

Love his class.

He is always smiling.

I recommend his class. I wish he was teaching more classes. He really cares about his students and is willing to help us in any way possible. He makes sure no one feel offended about some of the topics and he uses video clips and movies to help us comprehend health. Also, I like that he is giving information that is easy to apply to our lives.

he is very approachable and have a good sense of humor.

I already knew all about this class from high school, but he made the class fun. Loved the debates and group discussions. He has an accent so you have to pay more attention at times.

Amazing class. He is on top of the lectures and homeworks plus if you work ahead, you are rewarded.

Good teacher, though he does have a somewhat heavy accent, so it is hard to understand him at times. Really easy class, and you can get extra credit by turning in work early, and then there is another extra credit assignment towards the end of the term which is very easy. I got an A+, and he isn't a very hard grader. Highly recommended!

I took summer class with him and he made it fun and I learned a lot. He is very helpful and always in a great mood.

I am taking his class this term and I love it. He is very funny and entertaining. Also, I have learned a lot, he knows a lot and he is very passionate. He likes to get us moving and motivated. Wish he was teaching more classes. Mr. C, you rock!

Wow! If you want a great instructor, Eric is your guy. He does not judge people, he accepts them the way they are and encourage them to be better every day. He is very positive and passionate about what he teaches. Be prepared for a lot of smiles.

Excellent teacher. Wish he was teaching more classes.

Awsome class! The best teacher I've had in college.

Fun lectures and very informative. Eric is the ONLY reason I could make it through this class, he livens up the lectures and has fun. When it comes down to the final and midterm, DO THE STUDY GUIDE. You will get at least a B+ if you complete it.

Great and fun instructor. He is always available and willing to help you whenever you need it. Class has combination of group activities, lecture, videos, and assignments are easy to complete.

Great class, very organized and he knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend taking any class with him.

First aid is a great class. Eric made it fun. He is very energetic and always smiling. the class is very active, don't expect to be sitting for more than 15 minutes. You will learn a lot!

Fun class. Learned how to improve my stroke and serve. I highly recommend it.

Always puts a smile on your face

The most amazing professor I've met.

I learned a lot about sexuality in the class. He makes it comfortable to talk about and to share with others. Plus like others say, he makes you smile.

I echo what others say, Eric is a wonderful teacher. I have taken a few of his classes and never disappoints.

Great class. i recommend it.

Great teacher. The best in the health department.

He is the happiest teacher I know!! Makes class super fun. IF your an awkward turtle then I don't recommend this class for you.

He makes such a sensitive topic very fun and comfortable to talk and learn about. Definitely the best college professor I know.

Great teacher. He is funny and willing to help if you ask.

Great teacher. Knows what he is talking about and always willing to answer your questions. He makes class fun.

First aid and CPR is a great class. Eric makes an effor to help you learn the skills and makes sure you are learning. He takes time to get to know you. I have taken classes with him before and I am amazed how good he is.

Eric is amazing. Learned a lot and he made it fun to go to class.

Great to have a class that you go to play and get credit for it. He helped me improve my serve and backhand stroke. He lets you play most of the time and is interested in his students. Very caring.

Fun class to take.

Eric is an awesome guy who really cares for his students. I would highly recommend him. There are quizzes, but no tests and everything is done online with multiple attempts allowed.

Eric is very passionate and makes sure you are learning. He does allow you to have time to play. If you ask questions, he will answer.

Eric is smart and very funny. I agree with others he does care and he is willing to walk the extra mile to help you. Read the syllabus, do the work and you will pass. He is very comfortable about talking about topics that may be taboo and he is aware of everyones' feelings. I am taking another health class with him.

Best teacher I have had all year at Chemeketa, this was a summer class and it was just the break I was looking for. Finally a teacher that truly appreciates participation and rewards you for your efforts and not your "skills". I highly recommend taking a class with him, you wont regret it.

I have taken other health classes with Eric and I still think he's one of the best. He makes class fun and I love his laugh. He makes sure you know how to save lives.

I learned a lot about nutrition and fitness. Prof. Colon-Cortes is very funny and quick at responding to questions and emails. I got to make a plan to eat better and exercise.

Eric made an awkward topic fun and easy to talk about. He does not lecture but does a lot of conversational activities. If you do the work, you pass.

Eric is an amazing person. He cares and go the extra mile to help you. Hands on class with lots of chat. I have learned more than I ever thought about my own sexuality.

Great teacher. I registered because I needed 3 credits in health and ended up finding out that I didn't know a lot about my own sexuality. Eric is very interactive and made class fun.

very helpful

Awesome teacher. he was always available to answer questions and helped me learn a lot about health.

Fun guy makes you laugh and dance.

I agree with what other have said before me. Eric is one of the best--funny, entertaining, passionate, caring, and very quick at responding emails. Homework is easy to do and you actually learn from them. I just wish he could be teaching every single class I have to take.

The best teacher at chemeketa. super funny and wants to have fun in class. he likes interaction.

Super nice and friendly. He was always in a good mood and was kind to everyone. Has a cute accent :0

He is a great teacher. If you come to class and do your work you will pass. He is super funny and sometimes is hard to understand but you know what he means. Be prepared for random dancing or walks. All tests are online, not too bad. He makes the class interesting and you can see he loves what he does. I would recommend this class!

Good teacher. He is fun and the class topics are interestng enought. Reading isn't mandatory. A few online quizes and weekly homework weren't hard to complete.

Great professor. He is very dynamic and interactive. You do not spend too much time sitting down. The class is very interactive and he keeps you awake.

Just the best of the best. He is very passionate about teaching. IT was a very open class, he makes you feel comfortable talking about sexuality.

Get ready to walk, Zumba & get to know your classmates. He has you work in groups at times during class to study a short topic he gives you & then your group shares it with the class. It's quick & makes class more interesting. He's funny & answers questions. At random times he makes you get up & move. I wish more teachers were like him.

Not a boring moment with Eric. He keeps the class entertaining and still you learn a lot. He makes you feel comfortable. He has a humor that is unique and he is always in a good mood. I wish I could take all my classes with him. He make me passionate about going to class. Quick at replying emails and follow up with you if something is wrong.

Great teacher. He is caring, and go the extra mile to make sure you are doing well in class.

Eric was a great instructor. Funny, easy going and understanding. Being that HE252 was CPR & First Aid, it was kinda mandatory to show up. It was only for a couple hours a week and was fun. The class is simple and straight forward, not much else to say about it. Not much homework, just a little bit of group discussion.

I have taken other classes with Eric, and I glad I took sex ed with him. I was afraid of feeling awkward about talking about sex because I did not want to be told what to think or believe. Instead, he provided along with classmates different views that allowed me to understand others' views. Eric is very knowledgeable and made it fun.

Great instructor funny and keep class interesting.

Best teach i've had. All homework is known from the first day of class and there are no surprises. 1 homework per week and 1 quiz every other week.

Professor Colon-Cortes is genuinely caring about students. He is entertaining and laughs a lot. I thought the class was going to be awkward because of the subject, but professor Colon-cortes made it very easy to talk and share information about sexuality. I highly recommend him to any student who want to learn and succeed.

Eric made class fun. I learned a lot, and his in-class activities were enjoyable. Tests weren't worth much, but were difficult (you HAVE to read the textbook). Mock presentations were fun to put together and not difficult. If you read the book and show up, an A is super easy.

Very caring and passionate about teaching. He can also be sarcastic and have a special sense of humor. He is available in an out of the class to anyone who needs help. He doesn't take crap from anyone. Do your work, show up, and you will pass.

Took his hybrid class. It is half online and half in class, and it was great. He cares and is very engaging.

Very easy class, as it should be, in my opinion. Some of the assignments are surprisingly time consuming, but it's really no big deal. Cortes is funny, although sometimes his humor could come across a bit too crude, too often. Still, he knows his stuff, and the class is a breeze if you attend (took the online hybrid), participate & do your work.

Mr. Colon-Cortes is such a caring professor. He is very entertaining and funny, and has an intriguing sense of humor, but he is very respectful and knowledgeable. If you need help, you just have to ask him and he will make sure you get what you need. Class was fun and never a dull moment.

Awesome class! Perfect for someone needing elective credits or PE credits. Little homework. He is funny and a great health instructor. Participate and you'll receive an A.

Eric was amazing and hilarious, I always looked forward to his class. Super quick and easy homework, and no final.

Great teacher. One of the best made class fun and made sure we knew what to do to respond in emergencies. I highly recommend this teacher for any class.

I am glad I decided to take this class. Prof. Cortes is very passionate and knowledgeable. Although he makes the subject fun to learn about, he is serious and respectful of people's values while challenging you to expand your knowledge. Assignments were mostly about application and fun to complete.

Fun class. Much better than I expected. 1 assignment per week, 1 quiz every other week, no final. Professor was always available and help you if you ask.

I am coming back to school about 15 years and he was very helpful in guiding me through the online classroom and how to complete and submit assignments. Lectures were full of activities and interaction that made it fun to learn. It was fun to hear his stories and how inspiring he is. His laugh is contagious.

Eric's classes are simple. While sometimes the classes can be boring, you can be sure you'll boost your GPA.

The best professor I have had so far. The class is organized and there are no surprises. He knows his stuff, made class fun, and he cares a lot about people, but does not eat crap. Try to trick him and you will lose.

Great sense of humor and makes class fun. Easy A if you do the work.

I took his class online and was organized and he was quick at replying emails. He sends emails every week reminding you of assignments. His notes and assignments made me think of my health and pushed me to better myself.

Eric is very nice and laid back. Great class because you learn everything that can possibly save a persons life- first aid and CPR is class everyone should take. Manageable to earn to an A if you show up and take the online quizzes.

Third class I take with him and would take any others with him. You do the work, you get to pass. He is not your typical lecture professor, but he is very knowledgeable and makes the class fun.

Eric is a thoughful and caring teacher. He makes sure you learn and apply what you learn. 1 assignment per week and quizzes are online, but don't try to fool him because you are going to lose. Do the work and you will do just fine.

I took the class for a degree requirement and I got so much more. Eric is knowledgeable and assignments were mostly about application, which allowed me to achieve my fitness goal during the class. I lost 35 pounds during the terms by applying the information learned in class. Eric was always available; if you ask, he will help.

He is very knowledgeable and approachable. If you ask him for help, he will help you. Class is very organize and it was good to know every homework from the first day. There were no surprises.

great teacher i would recommend him to anyone

great class

I took the online nutrition to meet a requirement and got so much more. Thanks to Eric and the class I am able to achieve my health goals and pay attention to areas of my health I did not know I was ignoring. If you have the chance, take the class with Eric.

He is a solid choice if you want someone caring and that makes an effort for you to learn. If you are lazy, this is not the class for you because his teaching style is unique. I have taken a few classes with him and I keep being impressed by his knowledge and help.

Awesome prof! You are required to show how to give CPR & First Aid. But basically if you show up, you'll get an A.

I took Eric's online class. It is very organized and easy to follow. He does not test/quiz. Basically discussion, assignment of the week, and a weekly reflection. He responds to emails fast & is caring! This was my first online course, and I plan on taking more with Professor Colon-Cortes! Easy A!

Very inclusive and makes it a point to provide examples about different people and their views.

Professor Eric always showed up to class with a smile on his face and really brightened everyone's day. He also had nice 80's music going when you walked in and were waiting for class to start. He really tries to teach you first aid and CPR without making it intimidating. Just make sure to show up everyday! I would recommend this class to all!

Eric is really funny and caring. He has an accent but it is not distracting at all. He combines funny stories into his lecture and makes a typically boring class fun. While I recommend taking most basic health classes online, I recommend Eric because I looked forward to his jokes and lectures.

Prof. Eric was accessible outside class to answer questions and help me with questions I had. He was always on time and lectures were relatable. I learned a lot in class. Assignments were not difficult and mostly about applying material to our own lives. I would highly recommend Prof. Eric.

Very dynamic and engaged in class. No matter what you need, if you ask for help, he tries to help you. If you do the work and show up you get an A. He's relatable and friendly. He makes it fun to come to class every time.

Loved his class. From the beginning he is clear about the expectations of the class and there are no surprises. You do the work, follow the rubrics, you will pass. He made class fun and didn't lecture the whole time.

I liked how he teaches the class. Especially when most topics are already known one way or another. Assignments were eye opening and helped me prove my eating habits. I will take another class with him next term.

Never a dull moment with Prof. Eric. If you show up to class, you should pass the class. 5 week class and one assignment per week. No final test and you get a CPR certification at the end.

I took his class fall term and it was 5-week accelerated course . So expected to be busy for those days . Its really simple participate in weekly discussions , 1 weekly assignment, and a quiz for each week. Do the work and youll pass.

I took the 5 week cpr course, and was easy just show up to class and do whats asked.

Pretty good and flexible class. Only participation in discussions and one assignment per week. NO TESTS!!!! All assignments are due Sundays. Blackboard is organized well and you learn a lot. I'm gonna take a remote class this term and I love that it is organized the same way as the online class I took this winter.

Professor Eric Colon-Cortes is a great educator and provides very valuable information that we can use outside of class and in our everyday lives. Professor Colon-Cortes provides limited feedback, however, he responds to emails quickly and with detail; he grades promptly. If you are known to put effort into your work then you will receive an A.

This class is an easy A, if you turn in your homework you are most likely to pass. He doesn't require you to participate in class. You might have to do a few assignments but he provides you enough time and resources to help you succeed. I would definitely recommend taking Health with this professor.

He is such a sweet professor! I took his accelerated 5 week course and I highly recommend it. It's not hard at all to finish with an A & he gives you weekly homework that is due Sunday and that's about it. No quizzes or group projects. Take his class, I learned a lot!

Easy class compared to any other class I took this term. The most organized class I've taken and he makes it so easy to follow. Discussions and one homework each week due Sundays. Homework doesn't take long, but he likes detailed information when answering questions. Eric is quick to respond to emails and very helpful.

I didn't mind him, I just felt like it was a lot of reading and homework for a class that I was just taking as a requirement to transfer. That's just my opinion though. Other than that, his class was pretty easy, just do the homework, discussion posts, and projects and you'll pass.

Prof. Colon-Cortes' class was very manageable. There were weekly quizzes, discussion posts, and reflections. During the in-person classes we spent most of the time practicing on the CPR manikins. He made it so one was not intimidated by CPR and made sure that everyone knew the steps of CPR. Highly recommended.

Very fun class. Attendance and participation are a must.

I took HE204 as a 5-week class. Because of this, the workload was heavy. The expectations were clear, and the assignments aligned with the text readings. Essays and a PowerPoint assignment were the most time-consuming. However, there were no quizzes or tests, which I loved! I would definitely take another course from Professor Eric Colon-Cortes.

Easy class. A bit of work, but easy.

Expect a heavy workload in this 5-week online class, but it's manageable with the help of Unstuck AI and the textbook. Professor Eric makes it easy to stay on top of weekly assignments and discussions.

I took this class online and it is only a 5 week class. So far the workload is time consuming, but not super hard. Each week there was 3 assignments, with 1 being a discussion. The only thing I would say about this professor is that he takes long to grade work.
