Class isn't mandatory, but she does random quizes/assignments that can't be made up. She is easy and laid back. I would recommend her to anyone. Also, if you go to class everyday, don't buy the book. I haven't even opened it once.

Heidi is very pleasant and does a good job with a dull subject. I did not purchase the book for this course and I still got an excellent grade. Just go to class so that you don't miss any quizzes and you will be fine. She does, however, offer extra credit opportunities if you happen to miss a quiz. Very low-stress class. I liked it well enough.

Very straightforward, public school health class. Heidi did a fine job teaching. She's not the most riveting instructor you'll ever have, but the class is easy and she's very clear. Don't waste your money on the textbook. The exams are just common sense. Most normal people should be able to handle them without much studying. I didn't at all.

Took this class online and it was great. The assignments arent very hard, but they are worthwhile. There is some reading but it helps in order to actually understand the subject. She gives great lectures and really cares about her students. If you pay attention to the readings and do the assignments this class is relatively easy.

Really easy class if you do the assignments. It was a cafeteria class, so you chose what assignments you wanted to do. The tests weren't too difficult if you read the book. It is a lot of reading, but she does a lecture also. She is pretty understanding and lenient.

This was a good class, she has a lot of options for assignments so you can choose the type of assignment that you learn best from which is really nice. You also can choose whether to take tests or do a project/paper. It's graded by points and so you don't have to do all of the assignments, you just have to get a certain number of points.
