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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

$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.

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.
