One of the BEST professors at Moorpark! He kept this class interesting and the learning was very hands-on. Geared toward becoming professional trainer, not just entry level. Must attend all classes & read the manual. Do extra credit that is offered, it helps! Would give Jeff a score of 110% out of 100%!

This instructor is really knowledgeable and he makes sure that you leave sweating. However, I didn't like the fact that he gave quizzes and study guides (easy material) AND your grade relies on attendance and punctuality as well. I aced the quizzes and participated but b/c I was tardy he gave me a C.

He is super energetic and always makes you laugh at least once in class. His lectures follow the textbooks and going to class really helps you connect the material to his personal events that he shares which is better than just reading the textbook. I still had to read over the textbooks chapters to do well on the test. Overall not to bad.

By far one of the best professors I've ever had. You can tell he loves teaching and uses his undying energy to excite the entire class into WANTING to learn. That said keep in mind that his classes are no joke. You NEED to study for tests outside of class because there is a TON of information to learn, even if it's not too difficult to pick up.

Great teacher. He brings in people he knows from the exercise science/therapy field and has them talk about their career which is so helpful for deciding majors/careers. Great professor and very respectable. This class helped me pick my major and I love it so much.

I LOVED Jeff's class so much! Unfortunately our semester was transferred online halfway through due to corona virus but he continued a few zoom lectures. His lectures are so fun and interesting, he is a great teacher, and you can tell he loves his job and his students. I will be taking more of his classes for sure!

If you're even remotely interested in Kinesiology/Exercise Science, TAKE JEFF'S CLASSES!!! I've taken 2 classes with him, and he is by far the best professor I've ever had in my 2 years of college so far. Even if you just need some elective credits & aren't interested in majoring in the field, I highly recommend him. You'll learn so much and enjoy.

Mr. Kreil is an AMAZING professor! He is very knowledgeable about Kinesiology and creates a welcoming learning environment. This was my first Kinesiology class and I learned a lot. He is very understanding, assigns a very reasonable amount of work, and all of his assignments are super meaningful. I would recommend him to anybody!

Professor Kreil was very laid back, and the class was not difficult at all. There were recorded lectures and small quizzes after each one. Although I enjoyed the class, it was very surface level and simple. I definitely expected to learn way more than I did. It was a good start, but this class was definitely just an "introduction" to Kinesiology.

Took his class online and think thats the only reason I got a high grade. His lectures covered the topic very broadly, and the quizzes and tests asks very specific questions that I often didn't know the answers to. The workload was really inconsistent, often going for weeks at a time without work, which is either good or bad, depends what you want.

Jeff's class was one of my faves this semester! The first half of the semester started online due to pandemic reasons, but when we went back in person I really enjoyed taking his class. His lectures are very knowledgable, funny, and you can learn a lot from him. If you're a kinesiology major, I highly recommend his classes!!!

I took his asynchronous KIN M01 class and it was great. Not only were the lectures and assignments clearly laid out, but he really sets up his students for success by adding things like resume building tutorials and career exploring opportunities. You can tell he really cares about his students and what he is teaching. Great professor!

If you are studying for ANY healthcare field don't hesitate to take his class. Jeff is truly is one of the best Exercise Science professors ever. I have learned so much from beginning at the lectures, labs, Q&A's, to the comment feedbacks all the things in between. Lectures are clear, quizzes are in the textbooks, and homework is not too heavy.

If you're looking for a professor who will show you methods to manage stress, exercise for health, and eat better, look elsewhere. I was looking forward to this class for that reason, but modules lack substance. Shows a lot of political beliefs & uses biased sources/videos. Requires political discussions unrelated to health class for grades.

Awesome, engaging and straight forward prof. I will be taking as many of his classes as possible. Lot of extra credit opportunities. The quizzes & tests all from his video lectures. Did talk about controversial topics sometimes that may be uncomfortable, but you'll love him and his classes. Do the work and you'll do great. I recommend KIN16,17

I loved this class he is a great professor his expectations on grading are very clear. There was a decent amount of work but I took this during the summer and it was a 4 week class so makes sense his class is fairly easy I would recommend taking it he makes kinesiology very interesting to learn about and not boring like you'd think it would be.
