Apiafi has a powerful presence and a very positive attitude. She gives praise on a daily basis, likewise she expects accountability from her students. Her exam reviews make taking them extremely easy. Some are intimidated by her...I think she's great!

Very dedicated teacher. Works you very hard but motivates you to go further. Friendly, caring, and fun. Pays lots of attention to individuals. A pleasure to have.
Very enthusiastic. She can pump you up to get your lazy ass off the bench. Take her and you'll lose some serious weight.
Loved her attitude and energy. She is in touch with her students, esp the athletes. She made a GE class fun!
great great great thats all i have to say
She is a great teacher.

what can i say...overall, she is a great person!well-respected, down to earth, extremely popular with the students, and yes i have to agree with all the other GOOD comments; she makes sure that u see a change in ur appearance.her wrkouts are another story
She is great all around. He pushes you because she knows that you can do it. If you wants to lose weight i really recommanend her and take my word, you do lose weight. She is the best.

nice lady outside of coaching. she expects a lot of hard work. she plays favorites with the top runners. show up on time- i cant stress that enough.
outstanding professor
She was a great teacher

She works you hard. Excellent teacher. She will make sure you wake up to do the work out in the morning. You'll see a difference in your body. Take her is you want to loss weight
Great teacher, pushes you to bring out the best in you
Great teacher. She teaches you how to work hard. Take her. You will NOT regret it.
Apiafi is fantastic...it sucks to take health because we all took it in jr. high...she knows that...doesnt take it too serious...tests are open book so that rocks...dont miss assignments she doenst like that...very easy
Great teacher and very insipiring. One of her fitness class is like boot camp and a little excessive but otherwise she is a kind individual with good spirit.
Great teacher, fun class. She makes everyone feel at ease and allow for fun discussions and friendships to develop. Open book tests, gives you 20 questions the day before the test! Great teacher, good class, you wont regret it.
I enjoyed this class to the fullest extent! All you basically do is read as a class from your health book, which you do use all the time, so buy it! you can use your book and your notes for the tests...which rocks! She's a great woman who likes to see students pass her class!
She works the crap out of you and you will be tired especially if you are taking her in the winter or summer session at 6:00 in the morn. but you'll def. feel great and you will see a lot of improvment in yourself, I already am and it's only been a week (4 classes at 2 and half hours each).G8t Class
Very fun class,you can get a A easily
MUST TAKE!!! EASY A!!! she practically gives u 1/2 the answers!!
easy A!!!
Coach is like a 2nd mom to me. Her classes we're alwasy great (except when we had to stand in front of this class). She always had a way of making class interesting.
she'll push you, that's what is so good about her. She's just an overall nice person, she'll sound mean when she's tellin you what drill to do, but she will always end it with a smile.
She's awsome, must take. She makes everyone feel so comfortable, even if you can't run.
Her regular classes might be fine but trying to deal with her when you are in the independent study classes is a complete horror. She didn't even show up to the orientation. Then she gives you a time limit to get an appointment, yet doesn't call you back until the last possible moment.

SHE is The ****En BEst!!!! I Got a six pack and i got all toned
i got built from takin this class. you'll run a lot, but it's all worth it. You'll get in shape and build up muscle
Fun class, easy "A", great teacher and she's very nice.
She was a really nice teacher, very helpful. Did not like people who came in late. She lets you make up class if you are absent. Overall her class was really fun and she loves to make people laugh.
Amazing coach. She knows her stuff!
I LOVE HER!! She cares. She's loud. She gets you pumped. She's a softy, but only to a point. You have to work. Then she'll respect you. She's flexible with personal problems. I lost weight and got stronger. Be prepared to sweat.
WONDEFUL professor! My class was divided in two groups: leeching losers and actual students. Though I despised the group work P. Apiafi gave us I know that she knew who was REALLY pulling their own weight in the class. This is a FUN, EASY and INTERESTING class and she gives great extra credit! Perfect professor to get your health ed. requirement
Easy class and so much fun..all we had was one project and the tests are open book along with the notes..Best teacher ever!
She's a wonderful teacher !!!! fun class and she lets us use the text book for the tests! i recommend you take her!
hella a cool teacher real easy, very careing and compassionate.
WOW! WORKING OUT IN HER CLASS WORKS BETTER THAN THE GYM!....SHE WILL MAKE YOU WORK OUT! TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A FLAT TUMMY! THIS TEACHER ROCKS! NO WONDER SHE COACHES CROSS-COUNTRY! SHE'S GREAT!
She is nice teacher I ever met in USA. If you want to learn health problem. You should take her class. I recommend you to take her classs. She is Hot ..................
extremly boring. does not lecture-u watch movies EVERY class. mandatory attendance, has favorites. open book tests, gives half of test qs before test. important group project. passed each test with flying colors, missed 2 classes all semester and got a b because of the horrible group project. in a nut shell: pick someone else to teach you health.
sHE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER EVER. SHE IS SOOO EASY JUST TAKE NOTES DO EXTRA CEDIT. nOT THAT MANY ASSIGN. i DID NOTHING AND I PASSED WITH AN 'A' I DIDNT EVEN DO THE GROUP PROJECT. TAKE HER SHE IS AWESOME
Very nice and takes time out to help students out of her own will. She even tries to contact you if you've been absent. Politically, she is left-winged and seems smart. Her classes are easy
This professor is excellent. She is very knowledgable and presents material clearly and concisely. Shes funny and doesn't mind a little silliness from students either. The material is organized and easy to understand!!!b Got a strong A!!!
This professor is the bomb! She is very easygoing. This class is kick-back. She gives you half the answers to each test beforehand. It can't get any easier than that. Highly recommended teacher and class.
super wonderful teacher! she is the best!
WOW BEST SPINNING CLASS YOU COULD EVER TAKE I MEAN I TRIED MANY CYCLING CLASSES AT DIFFERENT GYMS AND NOTHING LIKE GRACE SHE HAS SO MUCH JOY, ENERGY, SHELL HELP YOU LOOSE WEIGHT BUT MOST OF ALL WORKING OUT WILL BECOME A HABIT. SHE"LL PUSH YOU IN A GREAT WAY OF COURSE FOR OUR OWN BENEFIT. I JUST CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH ENERGY SHE HAS. GOD BLESS HER!!!
WORKING OUT WILL BECOME A HABIT. SHE"LL PUSH YOU IN A GREAT WAY OF COURSE FOR OUR OWN BENEFIT. I JUST CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH ENERGY SHE HAS. GOD BLESS HER!!!!!!!
JUST LOOK AT HER BODY AND maybe her age she will work you out!!!! LOVE LOVE HER
shes's like 10 percent body fat and she looks like shes 30 even though she has a 20 year old kid or something. she yells at me with her african accent but shes the best teacher alive
Very easy teacher. Open book tests. About 4 tests and a final. Gives 25 answers to the tests. Automatic 50%. Accent sometimes hard to understand. Plenty of extra credit points for taking BMI, STD, Blood Screening Tests.
Dude easy a take her class do extra credit and your good
she will make u work out. i love her. i have never been able to finish a PE class cuz i get bored easily. but she kept me on my toes. plus she will learn ur name n push u when ur slacking off. i would take her again. coming to class is a MUST. she will lower ur grade if miss to many.
I think that coach Apiafi is a wonderful teacher and really help me many areas. I would highly take this teach because she is fair, joy to be with.
Prof. Apiafi is a great teacher. Her class is super easy--5 open-note, open-book tests (including a non-cumulative final); 1 group project; hella extra credit opportunities; a few writing assignments (but nothing compared to most other classes). She's very energetic and highly enthusiastic about teaching this class. Loves her students.
She is a really great coach and professor. she makes an effort to talk to you and be kind to you. Her class is challenging and fun. but you also learn to workout with other people and talk a little bit during workouts.
best P.E teacher ever!!!love her!!took her during the winter with miss tracy!they both are the best!!bery nice,sweet and makes us laugh all the time..if u want to work out good and want to enjoy working out this teacher is recommended
Spinning isn't easy but she makes it fun. The music is great and her spirit is what makes the class easy. She does play gospel music but it all has a good beat. Probably 3 out of the 32 classes gospel music was played. You sweat and within a few classes you can feel the results.
SHE IS AWESOME! ive taken several of her classes and she is simply wonderful. you learn to really like her and her twisted sense of humor. a bit hard to understand but oover all fun, nice and really worries about her students!
AWESOME TEACHER. you'd have to be a dunce to get anything less than an A in her class. open book, open note tests, easy activities, and project presentation is fun. RECOMMEND :]
It was my first semester in college and I took her health class online and loved it. The discussion questions, projects,tests, and writing assignments were very simple. I would highly recommend anyone to take this class. Its an easy A, and if you take it online BETTER FOR YOU!She answers your emails and helps you with any questions. :)
Really cool professor. 15 min lectures, rest time is video. 5 tests open book/note multiple choice. 1 group video. great class. Take her
She's cool I guess and the requirements are fairly, but this is an online class and her communication is horrible. Everything is not clear and she does not respond to emails, which is a little hard being an ONLINE class! She did not show up for the orientation and told the front office to tell us to come back the next day! Communication sucks!
Apiafi will work you out no joke! She is an amazing coach/professor! She will give you the results on what you need for your body. There are some assignments she gives that require going to the health center, but nevertheless, she is a great coach! She will get the job done by the end of the semester!
Her workouts are tough, but she is encouraging and in the end you'll be able to ride with one hand behind your back. INTENSE.
Apiafi is the best coach you will ever have!!!! If you really care about your health and want to get in shape take her. Her "warm-up" is one mile... Thank you coach you rock!!!!!!!!!! :D
Miss Apiafi is awesome! It is very clear that her intentions are to teach good health habits. I have had her for body building and the online health class. She is tough and appreciates all improvement because she is an athlete herself. Thanks! you are an inspiration!
Miss Apiafi has been nothing BUT helpfull. Don't show up sick she'll just tell you to go home. If you want some self improvment in your life TAKE THIS CLASS and you have to commit yourself to what she wants you to do
Professor Apiafi is AMAZING! At the beginning cycling was tough. But toward the third week it begins getting easier. Attendance is a mandatory. She will push you! And although you won't like it at the time. You will be so proud of yourself once you walk out of that classroom. She has a couple of favorites(not me) but she's always nice to everyone.
I have had great coaches in the past but !!*APIAFI IS SIMPLY THE BEST*!!!!
One of the few, if not the ONLY, coach that takes her job and role seriously and expects the same from the student. If you follow what she says and not slack off, you will definitely see results as far as health and fitness level is concerned. I will for sure continue to take as many courses as I can that she teaches.
Indoor Cycling with Coach Apiafi all semester - awesome!!!! She takes the job seriously, so refreshing, and works you out until you think you're gonna drop. Lost 6% body fat and 10 pounds. She requires a couple of assignments including BMI testing at health center, make your appt early! Wonderful person who will make your semester - take her!!
She's a great Coach but a terrible Professor. She logged in maybe 4 times the whole semester. She refused to meet in person over an issue I had and instead sent unclear e-mails. Take her for PE but nothing else.
This professor was not helpful at all. I emailed her countless times, and she just responded with something quite different, she was not helpful at all, never responded to important issues the class was having. The worst teacher I've has at PCC so far.
This class was very easy. Hard to fail honestly. She usually only replies to students' emails during her office hours, which isn't horrible but kind of an inconvenience for anyone in need of an immediate answer. Overall, good professor.
Online class. No tests. Required reading with no proof that you did it. Must buy book because it's a special PCC publication- no amazon. She does not respond to emails or comments when you ask for help despite saying she does. Her weekly reminders are condescending. Easy class, good refresher. Definitely not a waste of 3 credits if you need them.
Her lecture are always interesting, Sometimes she would show a video during class. I would say you need to buy the book to answer the homework online, but I didn't buy the book to be honest but still passed the class. Test, Exam and homework are all takin online. She gives Extra credit at the end of the semester. Take her if you want a easy A.
By far favorite professor. She's so kind, and always willing to help you. She does have an accent but it's not difficult to understand. All homework & tests are online (you can use your book, yay!) she loves when you participate as well. Amazing class. Definitely recommend.
Content clear&easy. Weekly participation matters alot. Three papers and a final project. Book was waste of $$. Recommend her to have it free online rather than lots of $$$ on something with no proof that we read. Professor is non-existent. Felt like the class was taught by a dysfunctional Robot. Good for 3 units. But more for responsible students.
I am on disability from 2 right shoulder surgeries and it was hard for me to be on the computer and to read the very small print in the book. The professor was not very helpful. When I would have a problem, I had emailed her a few times and got no response, so I went into her office to talk about my situation. She really didn't listen to me.
Great assignments, learned a lot in this course. First online course taken, wasn't hard. Had a few multiple page papers to do. 8 week summer course so you get a few assignments a week. Textbook needed, found it for cheap. Wish we got more feedback on assignments.
She was excellent! I loved her class and would definitely take her again.
Grace is a great energetic teacher. She made us work hard each time but you feel great after. Workouts are anywhere between 30-55 minutes out of the class. She expects you to lead stretching at least once and there are some out of class assignments. She also has some odd music choices for spinning. Not always energetic but she keeps you going.
She is very flexible with her grading I had 86% at the end of the semester and she gave me a A.
She's hilarious and caring and hilarious to the extent where this teacher is amazingly crazy. She's good at what she does, watch video's in class and do the homework and class work online, the easiest things I ever done in college. She's the BEST!
By far one of my fav professors, I love her so much that I decided to take a cycling class with her the following semester. She will always make you laugh and is super real. Any help you need SHE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU! Go to class and complete online assignments and you'll pass. Open book/note test, and you get two tries. Easy A
She is really good and cares a lot !
I was eager for this class to begin and was even more eager for the end of the semester. Horrible music selection for nearly every class. Class always started later then schedule bc professor is a talker. If you sit front row she likes you better. Her workouts are never really intense like an actual spin class. She's funny though.
Beginners Body Building - If you're looking for a way to get in shape and just need that extra push, Coach Grace is the professor for you! I am so used to having a coach so I need the extra motivation. I am a female so this class is doable, there are girls in this class so don't think you can't do it. Took this in the summer, best decision.
She is the most positive person I've ever met in my life. Her class is so uplifting and fun. She is very passionate about teaching and she makes sure you have every chance to succeed in her class. She doesn't look at a class as a group of people, but she focuses on the individual. She cares about each and every student. She is a great professor.
Not only is she a helpful, organized professor and a clear grader, she's extremely positive, kind, and caring. Never have I had a professor/teacher as caring as she is. She understands you have other classes and responsibilities so she works with you to make sure you can turn everything in! Recommend her to anyone in need of a health class!
Awesome! She is so funny and caring. She will never let you give up and motivates you all the way. I personally loved her song choices haha. Take her! You won't regret it.
I took Professor Apiafi for cycling in the spring semester. As long as you attend class and try your very best, you will be fine. She grades you on attendance and there are 3 assignments due on canvas throughout the entire semester(super easy). She makes class requirements very clear at the beginning of the semester. I would take her again.
Professor Apiafi is definitely energetic and caring. She pushes you to do your best. You are allowed to miss 3 classes and make up 2 classes only. She has a unique music selection for cycling but overall she's great.
Prof Apiafi was amazing! I took her as a last resort with an add code because I didn't want to stay in Bill Moore's class. But this class is the first A I've gotten! Assignments and layout of the online course were easy to figure out and easily graded. My only complaint is she docked off 2 points of a project for being under an hour late. EASY A!
Don't be fooled by the optimistic reviews. 4.5 stars? She is a 1.5. She literally compared my work to another and forced me to bump my grade up even though I had a B. She also gets upset when you ask her a question. I would take her again but she's a tough grader.
Changed our Strength Training Class to marathon running training. We spent an 1 1/2 hours on the track, but in the weight room she did not supervise for poor technique. I am experienced in the weight training, so I was basically the one teaching basic lifting techniques to everyone. Very nice lady, but not a teacher for weight training.
Honestly, shes a great professor but she sent me a weirdly threatening email in the beginning of the semester telling me to get my grade up!!!!! The class itself couldnt be easier really.
I took her for a health class this semester, turns out you cant ask her anything without her making you feel like youre dumb. She doesnt provide clear instructions or rubric for her grading so you dont know what she wants in a specific assignment. Shes very rude. The course material was easy but her the teaching made it difficult to follow.
If you take this class, Pearson will be your actual teacher.
While there were some confusing directions within the class, she was very accessible through email. This also is a summer class, despite the faster pace she provided a lot of time to do projects and discussions. We also did not have any tests or a final test for this class, just an essay. I recommend her completely, she is a kind driven prof.
She's so sweet but sometimes she'll kinda makes you feel dumb when she doesn't understand you. Classtime mainly consisted of popcorn reading which was kinda a waste of time. Most assignments take1-3 hours to complete and it's not something you can halfa55. She really likes talking to students tho and her topics were fun to learn about.
Don't even bother asking her questions via email. I emailed her four times asking for assignment clarification, but she didn't even reply one time. The directions for her assignment are so unclear and unorganized. Instructions on the discussion boards are questions rather than instructions on how to proceed. Be ready to read for long hours!
Took her for a class called "Guts and Butts" which focused on abdominal and lower body exercises (as well as some arm exercises). Overall, she is an amazing instructor, very full of energy and always wearing a smile on her face. I can safely say anyone taking her class will feel better both during and after lessons with her mentally and physically.
I have not started this class yet nor do I have a grade. However I find it ironic that a class about socio-economic inequalities is being taught by a professor who is selling her OWN MANDATORY textbook for 90 dollars... Her PHD was from some fugazi online school, I'm not sure what gives her the audacity to charge 90 bucks.
Professor is an energetic and understanding person. I took her spinning class and truly enjoyed; I felt inspired . Participation is important . She graduately increased resistances and played upbeat music for warm up and spinning. Followed by relaxed music for the cool down! It is a really enjoyable class!
Mandatory online course for $90.....great.. Assignments online are very unclear on what to do, then she'll leave feedback that is condescending and rude, because she cant put clear instructions up.
Kina 030. Gives vague instructions and won't respond to emails asking for clarification. Will also grade you based on your responses to your peers, but the instructions on her assignments never mention that responding to peers is required. Not sure what her in-person class is like, but you should avoid her online class if possible.
coming from someone who generally likes the profs, don't take this class. THE TEXTBOOK IS THE BIGGEST RED FLAG, couldn't even buy it with PCC eops aid b/c it was on a different site (fishy). INSTRUCTIONS are super vague. all around miserable class. not worth your time at all, I can't wait for it to be over. listen to the 1 stars fr
Lousy professor. BIGGEST RED FLAG IS THE $90 TEXTBOOK that is full of OTHER peoples work that she takes credit for just by "putting the readings together". Be ready to watch boring tedtalks and useless discussions and get ready to create a useless eportfolio to which you will not learn anything but useless assignments. TAKE ANOTHER PROF!!!
She had us create an e-portfolio for submitting class projects online, which is fine. However, she doesn't visit the e-portfolio website or download the files, relying only on the preview in Canvas. Communicating with her is tough; I had to go to the dean to get her to respond to me. Good luck!
The course has a steep learning curve, but using resources like Unstuck study alongside the textbook can really help. Engagement is key - stay on top of assignments and you'll do well.
She is nice, but you need to buy the textbook. It is so expensive.
$90 for a REQUIRED textbook for an online class? Instructions are EXTREMELY vague, tons of assignments. She really likes to boast that she's been a professor for 34 years. Overall lazy professor with tons of assignments and very vague instructions. No office hours. Good luck getting her to reply to an email.
I do not believe that all of these ratings are from actual students. They have to be bots or something. I've emailed this teacher 12 times and she has not gotten back to me ONCE. Every single one of her assignments has instructions that sound like an incomprehensible riddle. I'd stay well away from this professor. Do not trust the positive ratings.
This teacher is IMPOSSIBLE to contact. Emailing her will never work. You are better off talking to a wall. Do not even get me started on the MANDATORY $90 text book that you need to purchase or else you fail. Not just that, the instructions that she gives on every assignment don't even make any sense. Would NEVER choose this professor again.
Horrible Horrible Horrible. Impossible to contact, $90 mandatory text book, impossible instructions. There is no way this professor deserves the 4+ rating. I do not believe that half of these are real because once you take this professor you'll know what I mean. She is a 1.5 at MOST. Worst professor I have had in all of my years at PCC.
Absolute garbage. I am warning you to not pay attention to the fake positive ratings and stay well away from her
Stay away. Garbage professor.
I have no idea how she became a professor. She should be fired.
Absolutely horrible. It is like she doesn't even know how to teach.
Don't let these positive reviews persuade you into thinking she's good. She is THE worst professor that I've had so far.
