He is a very friendly person and excellent teacher since I had him for Kine 1000. In volleyball 1 he was way too techniqual and not much attention was placed on the enjoyment of just coming to class and playing volleyball. He was tough on the beginners and expected them to be as good as the people that have had the experience in volleyball before.

Glad I took this course with Professor Humana this semester. His lectures once again never failed to keep me awake in the morning as they did in KINE 1000. Doing well in his class is the simple formula of going to class, participating, asking questions when you have them, and doing the readings. Midterm and final are fair in difficulty.

Kine 1000 is a great example of how bs ideas are pushed onto students. Hernan seems like a nice guy and i'd say is a good and engaging teacher (which is why I gave him a 3), but this course is VERY agenda driven. I dont understand why we're learning about white privilege in a kinesiology class. That is all I have to say.

KINE 1000 at times felt like a sociology course (which it is). Hernan is very enthusiastic about his material and he is respected. With that being said, his content is not needed. The tests are all multiple choice and his questions tend to be easy. You have to work for an A/A+ and make sure you do well on the essays.

He gives the advice not to memorize anything to do well but to understand and that will 100% get you an A on every single test. Listen to it. Read the readings and relate it to the concepts, don't worry about memorizing any useless powerpoint information, background on the individuals, history, etc. Read the book, listen and you will be fine.

Hernan is an amazing lecturer. He always makes sure that his lectures are engaging, even at 8:30 in the morning. The class itself takes time and is not super interesting. But Hernan tries his best to use modern examples to help with learning,

Professor Humana is an okay lecturer. This class is more like an open discussion, however his organization is not good as he lecturers on random things and there is no structure to the lectures and he doesn't really provide lectures that deliver information on his power points. This course content is not difficult but he makes more difficult.

He is so rude and uncivilized. He doesn't give any feedbacks on the assignments and when u ask for it, he ignores your emails. He marks students based in his personal preferences and doesn't care about the content of the assignment.

Humana was an ok professor and lecturer. Quite frankly, he doesn't really care about your well being, and he is the definition of an anal prof. He treats us like we're elementary school students, but expects post-graduate quality work. Unfortunately, this course is a degree requirement, but avoid taking his other classes. His averages are very low.

Most of his character seems a facade, at the end of the day the tests are hard and he is nonchalant when speaking of the 50-60 averages. His lectures are long and sometimes seems pointless; material on tests was much more complex and hardly ever reflected what he talked about. If you hate reading, dont take this course!

He was an easy-to-understand prof but issues occurred when the testing material and work were hardly graded but treated the students like children trying to dumb down the material. He is really enthusiastic but you feel robbed of how nice he is when you get the ridiculous testing material and readings.

He expects his undergrad students to write postgrad essays. He acts like he's there to help you, then will completely turn his back and give you a garbage grade. He marks based on personal preference, so if he likes you, expect a higher mark. Also, half of this course is about his life so be ready to answer questions about it on the tests.

KINE 3440 is not only a really fun class, but it is also very interesting if you are into sports and learning about the history of the Olympic games. The content is very put together and the two essay papers made writing a lot less boring to do. Highly recommend this class if your a KINE major and need extra 3000 or above courses.

He could care less how students do (averages of 58 & 51 on tests - no curve). He does love to pick on struggling students, though. Would tell students he wanted everyone to do well, then tests exactly what he said QUOTED in the 2nd lecture at 8:45am on a tuesday morning. $166000 to scam students in the horrible course & top 2 useless prof, not 2!
