he was a substitute professor at the last minute, he even made the grading easier. the subject is very interesting and he will answer questions best he can. material and lecture in text, but he uses lecture as a guide for exams.

Good Guy. Take the class

easy class, tests are based on lectures, do not have to read the book, just take good notes, answers emails quickly, a good guy, gives study guides for tests, take his class

Excellent class. I thought prof. was great. Very clear and reading the book helped a lot. One of the best Phys. classes I have taken. Not to mention he is HOT and makes you want to get up and go to class ;)..

loved this teacher, his lectures were very interesting and easy to listen to, very helpful, and is super nice, take him if you ever get a chance to

If you attend class and take notes, then the exams will easy! His little mouth moves so fast at 8am sometimes it's hard to get all the notes.

This is a fun class to take. It gives you a good outlook to effects of exercise and ways the body adapts to change. Fabio is a good teacher, straingt forward, easy test, interesting lecturer. The class is a bit TOO easy and became a bit boring at times. Asking questions after class to learn more is what kept me going to class

very helpful, and approachable. hot too!!! i am glad i took this class with him.

Take him for exercise phys. if available. Has latest info. and research info. Many in the class will fall asleep, but the review will clear it all up, and you'll do well on the test. More importantly, you'll actually apply this class in real life.

Was straight foward. Doesnt want his students buying the expensive text book and so he says everything comes off powerpoint. Just read the powerpoint very carefully. he curves. Easy!

Great info, relevant to the real world, take his class. Cute too... :-)

Great teacher he’s there to help students. A suggestion, don’t be afraid to talk to him he is there to help and wants the students to get a good grade

Good Guy and good class

Great teacher. VERY smart. Knows this subject like the back of his hand. Writes the tests for ACE CPT test. Very helpful if you wanna get your cert too. You can apply everything you learn in a real life setting. Very approachable if you have ANY questions at all about anything regarding fitness. Take his class. No book. Tests from ppt. You'll luv i

Class material can be confusing but ask him for help and clarification. Great guy and get to know him or say hi after class. Relevant information and he is not bad to look at :)

Definitely picks his favorites

One of the best Profs, period. His knowledge is solid, his teaching is flawless, and what you LEARN (not simple remember for tests) is worth the money. Class is at 0800, I live in Orange County and would look forward to getting up at 0400 because the class was old school education - where I actually learned and applied the knowledge.

Has to be the smartest person I have ever met. Extremely helpful during class, after class, through email. Even helped me with my own personal training regimen, great guy, very helpful. 2 tests where straightforward, from lectures and ppts. Final project was a great experience and lots of fun. ENJOY THIS CLASS!

i attended his all lectures. cleared so much of my doubts and always ready to give extra.

This professor is the wisest most interesting man you will have during your kinesiology journey. He writes the test for the people interested in becoming athletic trainers. This guy knows how to lift, when to lift, what to eat, what not to eat to gain muscle or strenght. The class is amazing, no book,just go to lecture and learn!!you wont regret it

Prof Comana is amazingly intelligent and sweet. He provides study guides. You do have to study hard for his tests. His questions are not tricky, but they are detailed. Take Prof. Comana!

This was one of those classes that you will remember for ever, if you like getting or staying healthy. He would go out of his way to make sure that everything is understood. 3 super easy quizzes +3 multiple choice exams+ 5 short assignments. If you don't go to class don't take it, but with 2/3 hours a week of studying, you will get an A. Cute/funny

Fabio Comana is easily one of the greatest professors in the United States. I have had a lot of difficulty with a lot of professors but he is so different. He is compassionate and caring. Also nice to look at. =)

Hybrid class - 1/2 online, 1/2 live. Great format, great application. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and gives many real world examples. Great class and one of the best instructors at SDSU. Definitely suggest you attend live sessions. Uses TopHat technology to improve learning.

This was a hybrid summer course. 2 days in class 2 online. Not too bad, the lectures were interesting. 3 exams and a couple quiz questions every day that add up to an exam so a great way to make points. I really liked the class and he was very passionate, knowledgeable, and helpful!

Great class with a great professor. He is the real deal. All ENS majors will learn something in this class. He cares about students and wants them to succeed. My favorite teacher at State.

Read previous post - had to respond. Sounds like an unhappy student expecting handouts and probably too lazy to study - now just venting. I took this class (Fall 2014) - loved it, challenging, but great class with relevant info to what we need professionally - certainly made us think like professionals. Exams did reflect course material.

I took both his ENS 304 & 434 last spring and this fall as a nutrition major. He is one of the smartest and wisest professors. He lectures from his knowledge and there is not a dull moment the entire class. He is the professor for you if you care about learning .

excellent prof but dont expect to pass if you dont work hard. tophat Qs taken on your phone occur sporadically as his way of ensuring you show up to class. only 3 exams and VERY FEW total points, so if you do badly on one test you basically are docked a full letter grade. ask for xtra cred he is happy to give it. youll learn a lot but STUDY a lot 2

2 group projects, both involve public speaking. 2 exams. Not many points total so make sure you study and complete his tophat Qs which really add up (like attendance points). he has lots of applicable knowledge to relay in this class. test Qs are sometimes tricky so know your stuff. hes a great resource and really wants u 2 learn. ask for xtra cred

I took this class as an upper division GE and i actually really liked it! He is a really good professor and is passionate about it. Only 3 exams plus an assignment that is super easy to complete. He goes outta town a lot and will have online modules to listen to (but i never listened to them and did fine). Gives study guides for exams. No textbook

Professor Comana is very knowledgeable! He knows the material inside and out and provides you with helpful tips you can use outside the class.

Took 304 over the summer. I recommend you to take it during a regular semester to get the most out of this class. Also, its a lot of material to remember for a 6 week course. Great professor, really knows his stuff and is very passionate about it. Uses TopHat. Stay on top of it! 3 exams (40questions), no textbook. Online/class lectures.

Very knowledgable professor and a leader in his industry. Not an easy class. The class has 3 exams, tophat quizzes, a group debate and a group project. Tophat quizzes are open book and somewhat challenging, but can boost your grade if you do good on them. Group debate and project is challenging. His exams are challenging ! Do not procrastinate.

Great class, learned real world applications that will help me. Debate and projects challenged us to think like professionals. Slides have great content - no textbook needed. Quizzes from Tophat, so be there. If you not lazy, and committed to work hard - you'll do well. If you don't care, skip class or expect an easy grade - not the class for you.

This is not a difficult class, I mostly found it to be boring. Comana loves to talk about himself and regularly reminds the class of how great he is.

Took this course online and everything is straight forward. This class is strictly heavy powerpoints, videos, and quizzes so if you don't have the discipline to actually read through the powerpoints take it in person if you ever have the chance. Otherwise he's a great professor and you learn a lot!

Fabio demonstrated comprehensive understanding of the material and was able to answer questions in a clear and relevant manner. For me, this was one of those synthesis courses that pulls together a lot of previous learned information, and then builds upon it. Great class, great professor!

Great class - thought I knew how to help others change behavior. This class showed me so much more. He makes you think and apply your knowledge. Hard class, but if you stay on top of workload, you'll do well. Lots of Tophat points to help your grade, but you have to show up and work. Great assignments - prep for real world .

Only lectures(with powerpoints), quizzes, and exams. The material for Exam 3 is really difficult so study more for it; the rest of the exams are pretty easy(if you study). He is really knowledgeble of his field but manages to explain things in simple terms.

super hard class, no room for error. That being said, he is a wonderful person and if you are real with him he is real with you. NOT an ENS major, so this was very difficult for me. I am sure it is easy for those majors, however do not take class if you want an easy one. Take this wisdom. A's student whom received a C+. Can't use ctrl find. Have2kn

not an A student but found the class to be really easy if you spend 5 minutes of your time reading the power-points prior to a quiz. Came out with a A-. CTRL-F is your friend.

Took this class online. If you watch/listen to the lectures(which are interesting!), you will pass no problem. You can use the powerpoint slides for every quiz/exam so there's really no way you can fail. If you just try to find the answers without watching/listening, you'll probably run out of time on the quizzes/exams. Super easy A, awesome class.

He gives you everything you need. All his topics were so relevant. Exams are straight foward if you watch the videos and follow along. The quiz's are a lot easier than the exams. My only complaint is that he ALWAYS eats during his video lectures or he's preparing some form of food. Gross hearing him chew his food.

Not the easiest class, but really glad I am taking it as is answering so many of the questions I have about exercise, etc. He really knows his stuff and really wants us to learn, but you have to put in the effort, so you cannot be lazy. If you show up to class, stay on top of your homework, you can do well - if not, then prepare to bomb

Fabio is a legend that really cares about his students. I have had him for multiple classes and love them because they are put in a practical way. He does do hybrid classes which is ok, just prefer all in person. His office hours are helpful but come prepared with your questions ahead of time he is a busy guy.

This class is awesome and Fabio does a great job at teaching and improving his class. Show up and be ready to learn, not a lot of busy work it is all practical that you can use for the rest of your life

This class is mostly online with one lecture per week. Fabio gives you all the resources you need to get an A, you just have to use them. Watch the other modules and take notes on them. Make sure you are staying on top of the Tophat work because that is half your grade, the other half is 3 exams. If you keep up with the work you'll succeed in 304

I just finished Prof Comana's online course and I must say he is a fantastic teacher. One thing you MUST do in order to pass is to study the slides. If you have any concerns for anything,you could look up the videos or email him. He gets back to you very fast and is very transparent in his actions towards helping us be the best version of ourselves

Fabio is a great professor that cares about his students. Any questions you have or misunderstanding can be answered my just asking him. He uses TopHat which makes it easy to get more than 50% of your grade. The questions on TopHat are online. Be sure to go over study guides for test, and you should be able to do good on his tests.

Hes great

Great professor! I can tell though by the people who I took the class with an by these comments he is not for everyone. I think personally he is a great professor and I love the way he teaches. PAY ATTENTION TO ALL EXAMPLES HE GIVES in ENS 434 they definitely help you for the test. Super excited to take 304 with him!

Summer online. Does a really good job staying objective talking about health and fitness. There's a lot of interesting facts. Can be hard to pay attention watching the videos because it is him talking about different slides. Some animations would help. Pay attention, don't wait until last minute, should be able to get an A. Every point counts!

Fabio is an awesome guy. His lectures are pretty heavy and the PowerPoints he uses are a bit overwhelming to look at with so much info on each slide. His exams are tough but if you use the study guide he gives out and review the material they aren't bad. The Tophat work is easy and helps your grade ALOT if you struggle with the exams.

ENS 433, 340L and 434 all have group projects with ENS 340L and 434 having 2. I cannot stress this enough but go to his office hours! He is looking for specific things and will tell you what needs to be fixed. Even if your group isn't helpful, save your grade and go! Also take notes directly on PPT to use for exams! It's the best way to do it.

Best teacher I had at SDSU. TopHat saves your grade, easy points so don't miss them. Exams are hard but you should be good if you study /know where to find info during exams (open notes). Go to office hours for the projects, you will obviously get a better grade on the project if you receive feedback from him. Class is interesting and he inspires

3 exams all online no proctor. Dont bother trying search up questions he makes his own. Do the study guide, pay attention in class, and read the book you'll be okay. Make sure to do tophat hw it literally carries your grade as its easy points to get 100% on while its half your grade.

Tough class, pretty much exactly like his 304 class. He has two projects, both of which he grades insanely tough on. You have to go see him and get his approval of your work if you want to get a good grade on it. Exams are super tough even though they are open note/book/internet. Never studied but just knew where to find information.

I've taken pretty much all of Fabios classes and really did not like him at first but, he is a great lecturer and truly wants his students to succeed. If you are taking his class make sure you stay on top of Top Hat. He gets some test questions from the reading through Top Hat so I would not skip it. Also, make sure to go to office hours early!

Fabio Comana is the mastermind in ENS. He has designed the coursework and material in half of the department. Use this to your advantage, as he offers extensive career advising during his office hours that is extremely valuable. He's an intellectual and his courses are no walk in the park, but if you take them seriously you will succeed.

Don't understand the bad reviews. Gives everything you need to succeed, 50% of grade from TopHat, online exams for which he provides a paired down study guide. Lectures focus on applications, it's truly a useful class and not just straight boring physiology. Super helpful during office hours too. Genuinely wants students to be inspired and learn.

Very interesting class and he explains the concepts well.

Fabio was an awesome professor. Had him every semester being at SDSU. Always so easy to talk to, cared a lot on finding ways to help you understand materials we learned, and always took his time to address my concerns or late work. TopHat helps your grade a lot and he's pretty big on that. Group project during the semester was stressful.

I enjoyed being in his online class as my first semester at SDSU. I went to his office hours once and explained my question. Four easy exams, 30 small quizzes which were easy, and three essay that we easy as well!
