best teacher in the world
Brings pure interest in subject to class!
great teacher, follows notes for tests... read the book you'll be fine
lots of knowledge, lots of notes, but he's funny and teaches well while saying, how do u people sleep at night? about twice per class...
WICKED teacher, best teacher i ever had. really knows what hes talking about, and is passionate about it. just know your stuff when the test comes, thats for sure. makes class relatively fun, all-around great teacher

very good teacher. oral notes. challenging tests. passionate about material he teaches. good dresser. he's my hero
EXCELLENT TEACHER!!! MADE ME LOVE HUMAN PERFORMANCE, SO I ENDED UP TAKING MORE CLASSES WITH HIM!! HE IS EXTREMELY AN EXCELLENT TEACHER!!! I LOVE HIS TEACHING BECAUSE HE MAKES U WANNA LEARN!!!!!!
This prof is a conservative jerk. He is never in his office when he has office hours
This guy is simply the best instructor I've had in my 2 years at Langara. Whether it's a 1 hour course or a 2 hour course, he'll keep your attention. If he ever loses his job as an instructor, he'll have no problem making $$$ as a comedian.
cool teacher!!!
He tells you basically what's going to be on test so it's nice to be prepared. I liked him but he must think we're all stupid sometimes because during class he asked (& wanted answers) to REALLY EASY questions, so it kinda felt like kindergarten at times
am i the only one that finds him hot? he's a rad teacher
smart guy and know players on the canucks...HOW COOL IS THAT?!?
This teacher definetly knows his material, but does not present it well. It is really difficult to interpret what will be on the test, when asked about exams he will say you dont need to know it..however it will be on the test..and vica verca
what an awesome teacher! his tests are right out of his notes, u dont even have to open the textbook! hes awesome, as long as u pay attention in class, its an easy A. Hes a smart guy!!!
He's an awesome teacher. Everything he talks about is on his tests. Didn't like sitting in the front though. He had a tendency to ask the class a question, sneak up behind me and smack me on the back asking me for the answer. Lol. Great class though!
Great teacher so far and yes, he is hot!!!
A super fun, interesting prof with great stories about everything. The best prof at Langara! SUPER HOT!!!!
I had him a lifetime ago - totally hot! great teacher, learned a ton.
Hes not hot I dont know why people are saying that, hes like 200 years old. But he is in great shape for his age. He knows what hes talkin about, tests are easy as long as you study the text and lecture material. Hes interesting and he has a great sense of humour. I recommend him.
he's just great ! i had no interest in what i had taken, and i had no background, and with the way he teaches, i was actually interestead and i also liked his class, if you can take a course with him, do it !
Great prof, great course. good sense of humour, tests were fair, study the notes and text obviously and you'll do fine. No need to worry being called on to answer a question if you're a guy, he seems to fancy young girls, not in a ****ed way, he just picks on them more than guys. its quite funny
Hardworking, articulate
good guy,,clear lucid notes
He rocks, he's really smart, and his exams are directly from his notes. I barely opened my text and still got an A. Just take good notes and you'll be fine. He seems kind of **** towards women, but I'm pretty sure he's not serious about it.
Boorriinngg. Teaches completely by textbook, barely any reason to go to class. Tests all multiple choice; pretty easy.
he literally tells you EXACTLY what is on the test the day before. He'll even tell you the exact questions for about a quarter of the exam. hes awesome easy and veyr interesting.
He is a nutball!!! he he always forgets things, mixes them up, or just doesn't know really what he is talking about! He is a great guy tho... but he marks questions on exams depending if he "likes" them or not!
His class is fun and very interesting. He gets mad when you skip his classes. He won't go over things again if you skip. Stay in class and take good notes. Good notes = A if you study. Bad notes = D if you don't study and slack off
Boring. He should take a course on how to properly operate an overhead projector. It is not rocket science!!!
great teacher for 1100, really knows his stuff, but for 2252 he's so uneducated about things! talks and talks and talks all class and your notes are almost worthless as they sometimes contradict the text or everything is already in the text.2252=text book relied 1100=all notes tests for 2252 long but kinda easy, 1100, straight forward.
Harry is a good teacher. He can get side-tracked a little in class but he makes class interesting. Once in a while he cracks a few jokes. His tests are kinda easy because he likes to give his so called "Christmas presents".
Brilliant Teacher. He really knows his stuff. Very clear and easy to understand. My favorite teacher in HKIN. Exams were a little harder than expected but that's the way it goes.
awesome teacher, if u pay attention to what he says, you'll get it.
Pretty cool teacher. Very easy going and clear about each topic. Speaks a little fast sometimes but overall very interesting. The analogies he uses are pretty helpful. Looking forward to taking other classes that he teaches.
great!!!
cool class
is a ****...he is the best teacher i have had so far...as long as u attend lectures and take notes..no reason you cant do well, he is a reallly good guy too..better than other useless teachers at langara..highly recommended
A little hard of hearing so speak up! Other than that this class is great and super easy.
Very easy going and approachable teacher. His tests are 150 MC (100% out of the book), and are not overly challenging. Highly recommend.
speaksa very quetly, so sit on the first row. sometimes mixes things up, or goes from one thing to another too fast - so you have to catch up. However, his midterms and finals are what we covered in the class, though text book is helpful too. I loved this class, probably because i love human kinetics :) But Harry made me love it more !
Very unapproachable, but he knows his stuff! Oral-based lecture, no formal notes, and be prepared to spend a lot of time studying before exams! He gives you a very detailed exam outline the class before the exam, which is so helpful.
Lendvoy contradicts himself, is demeaning and finds a way to prove you wrong even if you're right. He goes on irrelevant rants mostly about things you learn in elementary school. He clearly has an outline and when he's covered it all he rambles for the rest of the class. He requires you to communicate in his way, or you are incorrect. Aweful.
He is very knowledgeable, and is quite thorough in explaining the topics. He gives you an outline of each exam before the exam day. They have proven to be extremely helpful in focussing study. The exam questions are fair. If you study what he asks, even just moderately, you have no reason not to get a really high mark. Take notes on everything.
Prior to taking HKIN, i was under the assumption that it would be pretty interesting, since one of my hobbies involved weight training. I expected Harry to be a great teacher. I was wrong. The old man is demeaning, expects everyone in the class to know everything, belittles people, and puts people on the spot. avoid.
I really enjoyed this class. Dr Lenvoy is a great teacher and as long as you pay attention in class and participate the class is a breeze! I'm looking forward to more classes with him in the future
it's DR. Lenvoy and I'm honored to have learned from him. By far the wisest prof in the hkin department. He teaches from the heart and not for pocket book if you get what i mean. It was nice finally to learn from a non-loser ! read the text ,you will do fine
He is a very good lecturer! Has a ton of training in his field. I would take another Kinesiology course, even just to have him as a teacher!!
Something about this man I don't trust. I can't even look him in the eye. His teaching seems clear at first- but on exams you could find questions about things never discussed in class! Marking is inconsistent. Hope you have a physiology background before you come in. LOTS of memorization. 4 exams worth 25% each. Would never take his class again.
Respected professor in his field. Spent lots of his outside class time talking to me about nutrition, supplements, and a specific sport I had lots of questions about. Not easy prof but Very down to earth and passionate about sports. I really respect him as a prof and a person.
Harry is really knowledgeable but I dont quite enjoy his class becox I take this as an elective but I didnt have much knowledge prior to this class.. so MAKE SURE U HAVE BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE!!! since Harry assumes his students can go with his flow.. Overall, it should be an easy class if u have interest & relevant knowledge.
Worst class I have ever taken. Dr. Lendvoy has no structure to his classes. He doesn't teach, he rambles on for 2 hours straight. It is often unclear what topic he is talking about and very hard to follow along (even though I have interest in this subject, prior knowledge and a 3.7 GPA) This class ruined any interest in further HKIN classes.
This dude is old school, he spits out info straight from his dome. Never needed the textbook. All you gotta do is listen , take notes and read over his handouts and you'll pass
BEST PROF I HAVE EVER TAKEN. Dr. Lendvoy was amazing, i swear he''s such an amazing instructor, he teaches very clearly and well. You just got to listen, take notes and study. 4 exams each worth 25%, and very straight forward. He's a nice person too. I would def. take all my future class w/ him if he taught them
Dr. Lendvoy really knows his stuff. I really respect this instructor becuase he really makes the material easy to comprehend. By far the best instructor i have encountered. I highly recommend him! his tests are straight forward and nothing too tricky. His Lectures are always fun to attend as well.
I learned so much from This instructor!! very interesting class, thanks Dr. Lendvoy!
I wish i could take every single Class with this instructor. I Learned so much!!! & not by memorization, i actually understood the material. AMAZING instructor :) Highly Recommended!!! I hardly even used the textbook, his lectures are amazing! you just need to take notes, listen & you'll do great. Tests are very straight forward, no surprises.
loved this class!!!!
CRYSTAL CLEAR :)
3 words. BEST Instructor EVER !
Very fascinating class! Learned many cool things. Hardly ever used the txtbook because the instructor's lectures were so good! He Made the material easy to comprehend. Dr. Lendvoy is truly an amazing instructor! Study his notes/handouts & you'll do great! Exams were straight forward & short answers only.
Honestly my favourite professor at Langara, Wish I could take every class with him. His teaching style is amazing! His lectures were so fascinating. Highly Recommended!
Harry is wonderful! Lectures were always interesting and he is always willing to go over something again if you don't understand. His tests require attendance and diligent learning of class material. But otherwise very fair.
His lectures were insightful and I really enjoyed his teaching style. The four 25% tests are straight from the notes taken during lectures so attendance is necessary to pass. Pretty funny guy too :)
Good teacher with semi-dry lectures. He explains everything very thoroughly, but for the 2 hours classes he teaches there is no break in between, so it gets a little bit hard to listen to him for 2 hours straight. Theres not much class engagement, but the lecture he gives are easy to understand.
The info he gives out is crystal-clear and easy to process. I didn't have to use the textbook too often because his lectures were usually so clear. He prepares students well for his exams. Take good notes and review regularly and you should have no problems, only solutions. Definitely recommend!
His exams were tough but straight forward. You really need to know the information. Short answers and fill in the blank only. Never received a low of a grade as I did from his exams but it was a smack to study smarter, not harder. Prior kinbio knowledge will greatly help.
harry is just wonderful, classes are clear, easy to understand, exams are tough but are good if you are taking notes and whatever he is saying just mark it down, and you are good to get good marks
Harry is the man!! Have took a number of classes with him and I have no complaints about him. He should give breaks in between classes because they can get pretty boring. Other then that, he is a fair grader, knowledgeable, and approachable. Overall, contemporary health was an interesting class. His 150 long MC questions are based off the textbook.
Dr. Lendvoy is a very knowledgable prof! There aren't many tests or assignments; a midterm, paper, and final. Both tests 150 MC on content he's covered in class including the textbook, so keeping up with readings are a must. He makes everything clear and anything he mentions is simple to understand. He's an excellent prof!
The most intelligent teacher in the kins department . Limited number of exams but worth alot . I had two courses with him and no complaints . Excellent teaching and very helpful
Harry is a very knowledgeable teacher and is enjoyable to learn from. He's very old-school, however, and still uses an overhead projector. His notes are pretty straightforward, as well as his tests. PS - dude looks like Mr Burns from the Simpsons.
He is very knowledgable however his tests are really hard. You have to understand everything from his notes or else you can't get a high mark. He don't use online d2l.
NOT EVEN ABLE TO HEAR WHAT HE SAYS SOMETIMES
Very knowledgeable but tends to go off on tangents and over explain concepts so you stop paying attention and then starts saying important things again. He brings up notes on the projector that we don't have notes to accompany. Lots of exams and you have to fully understand concepts to do well. Doesn't answer questions in class which is frustrating
Harry is a wonderful professor, such a bright personality as he's always smiling and has a pretty good sense of humor. Teaching wise he is phenomenal. He breaks down all the tough concepts and makes it easy to understand. He's a fair marker since he gives part marks. Oh and he tells you exactly what's going to be on the exam a week beforehand.
Harry is a nice man and really knows Sport Medicine inside and out. I enjoyed this class, but his overhead projector and handouts from the 70's are totally dated. The whole class was surprised at how hard he marked the midterm. His lectures are unorganized and note-taking is challenging. Text book not necessary. Study the handouts and know anatomy.
Go to class, take lots of notes. First midterm (25%) is tough (best mark in class was 76%) but gets easier. Don't study all of the material in the text; instead use it as a reference to what he mentions in class. ie if he talks about it in class look it up in the textbook. 1 research paper (10%) that is easy marks, 1 lab exam (30%) and final (35%)
He's traditional in the sense that he doesn't use powerpoints or online communication tools. If you miss a class, you miss a lot of info because the entire class is notes and he doesn't upload notes or dwell on previous lectures. He weirdly announces the students with the best test results each exam too. Not awful, not amazing either.
Avoid this guy. I only wish I had more characters to describe how awful he is. He is a terrible lecturer. He has poor structure to his classes. And he is unapproachable. Many of his 'handouts' (and I use that term loosely) were illegible, and look like they were printed in the 1980's. The class essentially amounted to being a self-directed study.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, AND AVOID, again. Really bad lectures, all his handouts are almost completely useless. It seems like he trys to make it difficult for all the students on purpose even though it is an intro course. The exams are all worth 25% which is bad because his exams have questions about things he never mentioned in class.
Just a big No.
Harry Lendvoy is by far the worst instructor I've ever had. This is coming from the son of two university profs. Picture a retiree incoherently rambling on for two hours, frequently going off topic, and ignoring students' questions. He then tests you on material that he never actually taught. If that sounds appealing to you, take his class.
Overall really good prof! the class is tough and the midterm was difficult. Pay attention to detail, attend every class and read topics in the text to get a better idea of what he is teaching in class. You defiantly have to work hard for a good grade.
Harry is a wonderful prof and incredibly knowledgeable. Write down everything he says - its all testable, however he focuses on main concepts. Cross reference what he says in class with the textbook. Youll need to work hard to get an A because you need to know the material. I would definitely take again- his tests are straightforward.
Super smart and laid back. harry pulls up late, takes out his projector slides from like 1955 and drops some knowledge. He knows what he is talking about and is super clear as to what to expect on the next midterm. 4 midterms worth 25% each and no assignments, go to every class and take good notes and you will do well. PS do not buy the text
Worst prof at Langara. By far. He is completely useless as an instructor, and cannot properly explain a concept to save his life. Worst of all - he actually lies about what is going to be on his tests. I guess he's trying to make his course seem challenging to make up for the fact he can't teach. Sad.
You basically have to attend all the lectures and write everything he says in his class. The summer course consisted of a midterm and final with 150 multiple choice questions, as well as a research paper, each weighing 33% of your grade. DEFINITELY READ THE TEXTBOOK BECAUSE A MAJORITY OF THE EXAM QUESTIONS WILL COME OUT OF THERE. GOOD LUCK.
He'll say just study notes and handouts but that's a lie. Study the textbook, all the application questions are straight from the textbook examples. His lectures are very soft spoken also, difficult to hear him even if you sit at the front.
Harry's 2252 class was interesting. Not many assignments, a research paper worth 30%, a midterm and final both with 150 MC questions worth 35%. Make sure you keep up with the readings because all the exam questions are based from the textbook. Doesn't use d2l. You should be able to get a B or over as long as you try.
You have to go to every class because he doesn't use d2l and everything he says in class will be on the midterm. Class is divided into one research paper, one midterm, and one final. There's no class discussions, just a boring, dry lecture. The actual class material is not hard at all but the class is boring to go to
Wow. That is all I have to say. Harry is by far the worst prof I've had. His lectures are a complete bore and his handouts are illegible. The man uses a projector to teach and speaks very monotonously. I wouldn't recommend it.
Dr. Lendvoy uses the old school approach of printed handouts from textbooks and slides on a projector. Doesnt use online resources like Brightspace/D2L. He only discusses things you need to know - if you show up to class and take notes, collect all the handouts, and read the parts of of his textbook that he calls for, youll do just fine.
Atrocious. Worst prof ever. Even his own book is a complete mess - the chapters aren't even in proper order (it starts with ch. 8, lol). Save your money and time.
Langara seriously needs to audit this guy's classes because he is an absolutely terrible instructor. He doesn't teach; he just rambles in circles and disregards students when they try to ask questions. He also has material on his tests that were NEVER mentioned in class. He is a shameful black mark on an otherwise excellent college.
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GRADE AND LIFE HE doesn't use PowerPoint or board, He just talks really quietly, and just talks about random subjects. I do not understand why he has a such a high rating. But people don't trust the rating, trust me and don't take his class.
