It's like being taught by The Rock. He's a fun, energtic teacher who likes to perform. His tests are based on lecture and are not too hard.

THE BEST TEACHER EVER!This guy is amazing.You can pass his class with your eyes closed, however you have to be in class everyday.The best part are his tests, when he reviews the material and tells you what will be on the test.Very Fun, energetic and fair.

Take any class he offers. He is funny and easy. If you are a good looking female you will get an A. He loves girls and he loves sports. One of the easiest professors you will ever have trust me, even if u dont need his classes take them for raise ur GPA

HOT HOT HOT

Coach Sims rocks and he is sooooo fine!! He's great eye candy and I learned a lot about health.

He is very easy and if you are a female and you talk to him he will love you. Really easy class. I hated the group excercises, though.

very motivating teacher seems to really care about his students. makes you want to change your eating habits, just seems like a great guy who likes and enjoys guiding his students in the right direction. MAKES YOU THINK !. MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHO YOU ARE.

Easy class, entertaining lectures, good teacher.

great teacher motivating, seems like he cares.He will inspire you to eat better. If you are serious about physical fitness will teach you everything he knows. Funny and easy on the eyes.

Hot! You well get points for attending class meetings and well get points deducted for not showing up.Easy A.Tells you whats going to be on his easy tests.grade is mostly based on attendance.

No Comments

Very good looking. Is always talking about his personal life.tells you whats going to be on the test and people still manage to fail the test. Attendance is a big with him. He also has a big ego.

Attendace is MANDATORY if you wanna pass. He is clear in his lecture but can be very egotistical at times and his coaching side comes along in the way he usually speaks very loudly. He annoyed me a lot of the time with his personality, but his teaching is overall good.

Coach Simms is a good guy overall. I took weight training w/him last semester and it was pretty chill. Attendance is mandatory in this class, he will drop u if u miss too much. (Which is fair) Just get to his class, workout, and u'll do fine.

This Man is one of the best proffesors you can ever had. I had him for health 11. Everytime i attended his class i came out feeling super good about myself and feeling i can take on the world. I also had him fro weight lifting. I recomend him highly.

One of the easiest classes I have taken. Just smiled a lot at him and bantered back when he said things to me. Get credit for showing up in class. Do watch out for trick questions on tests. Do study for tests but gives you the answers the day before. Just write fast and pay attention.

this foo is sick! hes funny, wakes u up i u have em in the morning, buff, easy work(basically notes), simple, straight foward,easy tests(common sence and easy to study for. js take notes) TAKE HIM TRUST.

this teacher is the best. he is extremely fun and funny and will wake u up in the morning. his favorite word to describe him as is tinkerbell he leaves no homework and his test are easy all u have to do to pass his class is show up everyday 2 class and paticpate. oh and hes hot 4 his age.

Took weight training with him. easy class, must go 2 class.

Classes are unorganized.But he is totally fun.He screams a lot in his class.Attendance is must.Dont even think about missing a single class.Class materials is easy.Attendance easy assignments and easier test will help u to bring good grade.Again dont miss the class

For the lazy student he is the best teacher.doesn?t really go into depth with assignments. Unorganized, extremely bipolar; sometimes hes funny and sometimes hes on his rag. GIRLS will love him, he has this new cause to be a feminist. Got an A. easy tests..some questions bs! He doesn?t even know the answer to his questions. Should not teach, should

Prof. Sims is a very helpful professor.You have about 4 exams and you must buy a lab book. The lab book is a book of performance exercises which are easy. Attendance is a must. Overall Sims was a good teacher. He cares about the success of all his students. If you need help. ASK!. EASY A

Prof. Sims has character, integrity & gives students opportunities to succeed. Multiple choice is tricky & you must STUDY. Sims can be intimidating with his bodybuilding physique, loud voice & sergeant attitude. He demands respect, attention & attendance. (ARRIVE EARLY & don?t sneak out.) Sims is passionate & has a beautiful soul. Lab got me my A.

I enjoyed his class, do what he asks = A. He is a former bodybuilder. Whether your a guy thats trying to bulk up or a girl thats trying to slim down, he will show you exactly what is needed. Emphasizes eating healthy and positive attitude. you will walk out very motivated. dont be intimidated by his drill sergent style, deep down a very good guy!

EASY A!!!

I must agree:"Prof. Sims has character, integrity & gives students opportunities to succeed.He can be intimidating with his bodybuilding physique, loud voice & sergeant attitude. He demands respect, attention & attendance.(ARRIVE EARLY & don?t sneak out)Sims is passionate & has a beautiful soul."Got an A

Coach Sims is a really awesome guy. Of all the PE classes I took at Valley, Jimmy Sims was the best. U buy the book & do what he says. You'll be fine. He makes everything clear. U run the track the 1st 30 minutes, the rest of the time you're in the weight room.

Easy A. Gives you what to study two days before the test and is easy to find in the health BOOK. You will also have to buy his workbook and is easy to fill in as well. If you don't pass, you're just lazy.

I recommend the experience of Professor Sims lectures. He's a straight fwd honest instructor & definately has his students health in his best interest. He speaks from experience, & keeps it real.I'm a 46 yr old female & can honestly admit his course has been therapeutic. If U don''t like his course, u need 2rate urself & not the professor!

Wow amazining professor.... I loved him... more professors need to be like him. He is very straightforward and he uses the funniest examples and its very relevant to the lessons. I totally recommend him.

This class is an easy A. Coach Sims is funny sometimes he sounds mean but like he says sometimes I'm just excited. If your a lazy person this is the class you must take I seriously mean it.

Ok, yeah, he screams alot in his lec, but I mean, he only dos that cuz he knows that people will strt 2 snooze off but other than that, he's pretty kool. Oh & attndance is a MUST. Missing a day of his class is like missing a mth of skool. Trust me. Although, he DID lose my final on the last day of skool...

Easy A. Take this class as a GPA booster. Closest class to a free A you will find. Makes community college seem like a joke.

Coach Sims is an awesome teacher He's straight fwd and honest hes very knowledgeable you will learn a lot from him come to class listen/do HW and you will get an A...

Easy A, BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK, show up ON TIME, and BE RESPECTFUL (no texting, no talking, no long breaks!). Professor Sims is very strict and requires discipline (totally necessary in a huge class, esp. in a fast-paced winter semester!). But he wants you to do well! He is generous with grading and keeps lectures real, personal & dynamic.

Be there. He's strict with how he wants the class conduct to be, but what he really wants in respect. Respect for him and for your classmates. Study as much as possible.

James Sims is an excellent, honest, and Knowledgeable Professor/coach/instructor. I can say that his best interest is for us student to learn and understand the concepts or terms about health. I finished my Kin 350, SPRING 2014. His energy is CONTAGIOUS, the class was fun, very informative to the point the now I can inform others!!!!

although very entertaining, can be moody

Coach Sims aka Mr. BIG FITNESS is the best ProfessorCOACH that you can find! He's there to help YOU out! Coach gives you the ultimate fitness advice to lose weight and build muscle. This man is AWESOME! If you don't pass the class it's because you didn't show up or put in your effort. Coach is also BIG on RESPECT! I LOVED HIS CLASS! RECOMEND!!!!!!

This is an essential class for life, and Professor Sims has simplified a textbook of knowledge into a concise practical workbook; if you don't know where to begin acquiring the fundamentals of life, take his class for a down to earth approach. Have Cell phones offvibrate, be on time, and you're set. Personality: Funny, Smart, and Cool.

100% BEST class I have ever taken at LAVC. Coach Sims seems frightening at first, but he is so funny and respectful of his students. You work with a group and work on your "social health". You make healthy salads, desserts, and salsas in class and go around eating each groups foods. Provides the most unique college experience, and an easy A.

An amazing teacher and makes things clear from the start! You get what you deserve in this class. Sets you up for success you just have to want it. Definitely will look into his other classes!

Sets a great example of a modern day professional. Loves what he does. Very honest and straight forward, no sugar coating. Great attitude and energy. Took his Kinesiol. course and def. Knows his stuff. Easy to set a appointment with and very knowledgeable in his field. Shows mature care to respectful students. Vote Sims 4 President! Great man! CR

Amazing professor. He is a very honest man, who respects everyone. His grading can be a bit tough but you get what you deserve. His test are super easy, just very long. But as long as you keep up with the assignments, you will have no problems passing the class with an A.

He's a great professor. He's stern yeah, but he just asks that you respect him as much as he respects you. Which isn't much to ask. 3 take home midterms, a lot of workbook work. He lets you work with your group on everything, but I recommend you work by yourself. You absolutely need to show up if you want to pass, he counts attendance everyday.

Easy A if you do what he asks you to do; take home tests; if you choose to work with the workbook and not to be a research student - should be much easier, in my opinion. He is loud, but that's because he's been a coach for half of his life. Just give him respect and you'll get the same in return.

Coach Sims is AMAZING. If you can't afford the workbook he gives you the option to be a research student. You have 3 mid-terms ALL take home , the last one is your final. You can work in groups or alone. If you show up everyday and do the classwork you will get an A. NO TEXTBOOK JUST THE WORKBOOK. DO NOT have your phone out. Or he'll get loud.

If you're a male taking this thinking it's all about weights, don't because it's not. Its running, stairs, kick boxing, etc .. Girls do not be scared to take this class. If you want a REAL workout this class is for you. You will come out drenched in sweat so think about what time you want to take it. Participation is key and so is attendance.

easy A, show up and pass!

Lectures all class & is a strict guy but he is so funny & has so much charisma!! He is SO EASY. Has take home exams & gives you step-by-step instructions on assignments which you only do in class. Only downside is he makes you buy his $80 fitness book which can only purchase at the bookstore. Overall this guy has so much energy its crazy.

Sims knows how to be healthy & stay fit & will teach you a lot about that. Must get in groups which can be a downside&he chooses them as well. He is just an overall happy, upbeat professor but he gets moody at times. Never boring though & is super easy. Makes you do PowerPoint with group as final but its super easy, trust me. Gives take home exams!

Has many rules but always explains his reasons, and gives personal lectures which are overall super entertaining & funny! Will laugh & have good time in this class. Assigns you in groups & must work with them entire semester. Easy assignments which are all done on his workbook he wrote himself. Gives take home exams, easy A overall. Just show up.

Easiest class you'll ever take at LAVC. Best professor ever, he's so funny. Take him, you will not regret it.

Professor Sims is actually a Great Professor in teaching and well physical education, He has that Positive Mind and Energy that he's already to go and teach students what they wanna learn. Yes theres much work to do he gives but it's worth doing if you wanna pass his class, I thank him for teaching me about how my body system works. Great Professor

One of the best professors in all of LAVC. His class is super easy, you really just have to show up, you get to color-who doesn't love coloring body parts??? He also has really great stories and that includes a really awesome body builder picture of him when he was older. If you can take his class, do it. He really is an amazing professor.

Coach Sims is the greatest I had him for Health and Weight Lifting! He is always so full of energy and extremely humorous! He breaks everything down to keep it fun and simple! For his test you have the option to work with others which is so helpful!

professor sims was amazing, super easy (in my opinion) and he is a very understanding and compassionate professor. he made me feel comfortable in his classroom and as long as you respect his rules, you will do fine.

Great teacher.

great professor, follow his study tips and you will do great.

C4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WEIGHT LIFTING AFTER TAKING HIS CLASS. He knows his stuff. Just take him. You will not regret it. Don't be absent.

Professor Sims is such an amazing teacher. His lectures are always interesting and there is never a stupid question. He truly cares for his students and does everything he possibly can for you to get an "A".

It's rare to find a professor more invested in your success in his class and beyond.

This class was SUPER easy. Took this class in the winter and received an A. Professor Sims is very understanding and he is VERY knowledgable in his field of study. You WILL pass the class as long as you attend class everyday and like sims says "Stay With The Process." Also, you WILL leave the class learning something everyday. No doubt.

He is a great teacher. I had him in both weight lifting and health. I would highly recommend his class. He has a great personality and truly cares about his students. Really funny, very up beat, I would 100% take one of his classes again!

Really awesome guy who cares about his students.

I thoroughly enjoyed Coach Sims' class, as he made it worth while showing up everyday. This man truly loves to change his students lives. His wealth of knowledge is incredible. As a bodybuilding competitor, I urge you to take his class as he was able to show myself a great deal of new ways on improving my life physically as well as mentally.

Professor Sims is awesome! I was one of his older students in this springs 2017 class. I have to say he is very clear about the expectations in his class and in this course. You can easily get an A in this class by simply following his instructions. Very respectful, funny, and easy to talk to. Easy quizzes, 2-3 Tests (200) each doable w/open notes.

Coach Sims is amazing Professor. He is very educated and always share a lot of valuable information with students. He have great science of humor. He made us laugh a lot and sweat. To be successful in this class you must follows all his instructions and don't skip classes. His class will change your life style! ONE OF THE BEST IN LAVC!

To be honest with you, this Professor is very clear in his expectations. This was my first online class, there is no regret. Expect homework and assignments which are pretty easy. He is so patient and work with all students. Some students failed to do their final exam in time, he gave extended dates. Take him, you will learn and have fun. Easy A!

He is very funny. Easy A if you following his rule. I took that class in the summer .He allow to work with group. I got A.

Best teacher I've ever had. Not only teaches you about health, also LIFE! Would take his class every year if I could!

Great guy, just follow his instructions, stay off your phone and try not to skip class. All you have to do is buy the book and bring it into class, do the workouts at your own pace and that's all there is to it. Have fun!

I've taken a lot of classes here. Have not met a professor who is as respectful,understanding,and helpful towards students of various ethnicities: Russian,Latino,Armenian,etc. Bad English? No Problem! Sims makes sure that EVERYONE understands the material. Great lectures filled with enthusiasm! Do your work, and you'll get an A! RECOMMEND!

It's Health... not supposed to be a hard class. Professor Sims teaches you about health but also teaches you life-changing stuff. Just remember to show up every class, buy the $80 workbook and he will spoon-feed your A+. BTW, make sure you hear EVERY word he says as that's the key to understanding everything in his class.

Super easy class. He gives you the answers for the test, wants to ensure everyone passes with an A. Test are 200 questions but he provides the answers. Everything else was so easy.

Attendance Attendance Attendance That's all i'm going to say

Coach Sim wants to help you pass. Attendance is the most important part of the course. Participation and effort comes next. Book is necessary for a few assignments. These assignments take no longer than 5-8 minutes. Coach Sims is very approachable. Much respect out to Coach Sims.

I LOVE this professor. He genuinely cares for his students and does everything in his will to help out the students who are in need of help. Makes sure that everyone passes with an A! The quizzes and exams were SO easy I loved being in that class. The best part? hes HILARIOUS!! TAKE HIM!!

Professor Sims, is a wonderful teacher. He wants you to pass the class, he does not want to fail you in anyway. If you are having problems understanding anything in his lectures he takes his time explaining everything to everyone in the class. I would recommended him. His the best professor you could ever take.

Great work out class, he's really involved and you'll definitely feel the burn. His health class is an easy A as long as you listen to him

I took this class in winter and honestly I wasnt sure I would be able to pass it. But Professor Sims lectures and well structured classes made it easier to understand and learn the subjects. Also his encouragement and suggestions to deal with personal issues, helped me to increase my confidence and self esteem!!

This class is a very easy A as long as you listen to him and ATTEND. He's hilarious too!

Mr. Sims is a great professor at LAVC. His lectures in Health 11 is clear and easy to understand, he always make sure each students comprehend his lessons for the day. Attend his class everyday and he will guide you to pass Health 011 with flying colors. Summer class 2018.

Professor Sims is amazing! His Health 11 class maybe the easy class. However there is a lot of work! If you show up to class and pay attention to his lectures you will definitely pass with an A. He really looks out for his student and gives many extra credit opportunities. Test are open notes and easy and assignments are primarily done in class.

He gave us his own to book to buy for $11. Real funny. Gives a lot of lectures, but also makes them not boring. Uses a lot of group projects, he calls them "icebreakers." Fun. I would take him again

I have been in college for two years and I have never met such an amazing professor. He is a sweetheart who cares about you and your grade and will give his all for you to pass his class. His lectures are very powerful and interesting. I really REALLY wish he taught other courses, because if he did I would take him without ANY doubt. TAKE HIM!!!!!

He changed my life!!!! he taught me so much in just a month. I am so happy I took his class. He taught me how to deal with personal problems. The class was super easy, Easy A. He cares for every single student and will guide you to an A. Take him, you will not regret it AT ALL. I already miss his class and it's only been a week.

Hes great he cares about you and your self esteem.. he asks you if you have a goal and helps you achieve that goal.. to be able to work out and have that great body we want he shows us discipline.. hes great

Really good Professor. He cares about his students and makes sure they pass his class with an A. Kind and friendly just attend class and you will get a good grade. Also, his midterms in on canvas and its like 500 questions so be prepared for all nighters and make sure you take good notes if you want to be prepared for his midterms.

Professor Sims allows each of his students to work at their own pace, and he emphasizes safety, so you don't have to worry if you are older and/or not in great shape (like me) when you take this class. Prof. Sims is fun and energetic, and he cares about everyone in class. If you follow his workouts and put in the effort, you'll get great results.

Gives a lot of online assignments/quizzes, however all work is incredibly easy. All midterms and final are long and online but he actually encourages students to group up and split up the questions. Really funny also

Very easy class. He is very kind, understanding and funny and creates a safe, positive environment. His tests and quizzes are very easy. The final and midterm were 500 questions but we split the questions in our groups. Attendance is mandatory because it's a big part of our grade. He had long lectures but he made them fun and interesting.

Sims is the man for Kin 100! No oral presentations, no group presentations, no term papers. Just attend class and pay attention to lecture. He keeps lectures funny and entertaining. He provides study guides and lecture notes that will get you an A or B in this class. Attendance is a mandatory, hell notice if you miss more than a day or are late.

Very easy class. He is very kind, understanding and funny and creates a safe, positive environment. His tests and quizzes are very easy.

As an Armenian it is a pleasure to be in this class. Great professor who is nice and understanding!

Coach Sims has made himself available via Zoom (it's an online class) EVERYTIME I've had questions. He's super easy to talk to, and only wants his students to succeed. Sometimes there's a little confusion with how things are organized on Canvas, but it's all there somewhere! Some Powerpoint projects due. Lots of work! Do NOT miss the deadlines!

I took his class asynchronous, we did 3 projects where you have to meet with him in zoom. There is a lot of homework to do but they are easy just require time. Most of his exams are multiple-choice and he provide study notes that are exactly what you need to pass the exam. He is strict about due dates he doesn't accept late work assignments.

He is awesome.. He will go above and beyond to help with what you need if you have a goal share it with him and he will guide you on how to get there. He will show you and correct you on how to use the equipment correctly and is very professional. He is great at what he does sure us the best. Must take.

This guy knows his business and is more than willing to teach you the fundamentals of getting into shape and maintaining that status. For the first half of the course he leads the class through basic exercises, weights, and machines; you are left on your own for the second half. Really a great class. Include machines, free weights, and cardio.

Excellent Professor. Great teacher if you want to learn about fitness and learn your way around a gym. Also a great teacher if you want to push your current fitness level and learn different workouts. Extremely satisfied with the class and Professor.

Professor Sims is great and careful. All assignments are not so hard. If you stick with all assignments, you will earn a good grade for the rest of the semester. This person is so caring about students.

The first 7 weeks are intense workouts and Professor Sims acts like a personal trainer. After that, it's all open gym. you're always let out 25 min early so you have time to shower if you want or workout more. Sims got me back in shape so I was able to pass the tests to become a lifeguard. He may come off as harsh at first but he cares a lot. 9/10

I took this 5-week accelerated online Health course and the coursework was well distributed. Tests are open book / open note and multiple choice or True/False. This class is low stress and takes minimum effort; just manage your time well. Sims gives clear instructions and deadlines. He is fair, accessible and gregarious. You will learn something.

Course is about our health, most important tool in our lives, inspired me to take care of my body, provided the tools, skills, & information how to do it. I took it because I had to take credits &I thought I knew everything about how to take care of my health and body. Turned there are lots to know, Professor made it available and clear.

Coach Sims is an outstanding teacher! He will teach the class principles from attendance, gym equipment, etiquette to really fun exercises to help students achieve their fitness goal and build strong mental discipline. He's firm on exercise form and technique. I highly encourage not only young students but also older individuals to take his class.

Class was extremely easy but make sure to do the assignments on time or else there will be no way for you to take them again. Still very easy.

He is AMAZING! By far the best weight training class I have ever taken. With clear and precise instruction on everything. We learned as a group with a structure, something you don't see in most weight training classes. He was attentive, and clearly cared about all of us. He made certain we executed all exercises accurately, to avoid injury.

This class was really fun and informative. Students were all ages and abilities, it just matters if you show up and try. Don't be afraid. Professor Sims is great!

Are you an early morning bird that wants to get into shape and have a great workout? Want to pass with an A? Want all the bells and whistles to build strength, improve cardio, and endurance? TAKE HIM!! Just don't go to class on an empty stomach and your body will thank you. He will dismiss class early so you can keep working out or use the showers.

Professor Sims' HEALT011 class is a mixed bag - it can be easy but has a lot of work. The assignments are straightforward, and using tools like unstuckstudy and the provided study notes helps ace the tests. Just stay on top of deadlines.
