HE WAS A REALLY NICE GUY, BUT HE USES THE WORDS "I" & "ME" WAY TOO MUCH. VERY SELF-INVOLVED. HE SAYS HE IS ALWAYS THERE ON D2L TO HELP AND SAYS HELL ALWAYS ANSWER E-MALS BUT NEVER DOES. HE ALSO TRIES TO ACT LIKE A LIFE COACH- BUT IT ALL GOES BACK TO HOW HE LIVES HIS LIFE AND THINKS OTHERS SHOULD LIVE IT THE WAY HE DOES. HES NICE BUT ANNOYING
He always made time for his students and made sure to help no mater what. His assignments are fair and he responds to E-mails quickly even at midnight. I would recommend him for anyone who wants to learn something and be inspired in a P.E. class.
He's cool, take his class. I took a winter session and it was fun, he pays attention to his students and answers questions. I got a B when I was 99% sure I was going to get an A so watch you assignment grades or talk to him about your grade. Mad Chill
anyone who says hes too self-involved, is probably too self-involved themselves. He was a great professor. I felt like since he was younger i could relate to him. Hes a bit harsh with grading, but when you think about it, you get what you deserve and thats the message he tries to preach about life. That said, i got an A and put fair effort into it
Good coach, always answers questions, w gives workouts to push us to do our best but will modify workouts to each individual ability
Do the online homework/quizzes, show up to class,don't be late, and put in effort! Good gym teacher..
Do the easy online work, and a final paper. The work is not hard, take 30mins to and hour and you'll be fine. Make sure to show up on time he is very strict on attendance. If you have no lateness or absences he will bump your grade up. Great professor and gives life lessons that are helpful.
This guy is actually the worst professor I've ever had for a PE course literally 70% of your grade is all written work fitness walking? i think not you could sleep through his course as long as you do the online work you dont have to put any effort in
Pretty cool guy with his own fitness turn-around story, but way too many paper assignments. I mean, it's a gym class. Otherwise, he's a good professor and I enjoyed his class. Except when we did the circuits, because those sucked.
Too much online work for a gym class especially because He never knows when assignments are due and doesn't not mention them in class. He's extremely scattered and self involved.
I wouldn't recommend this professor. He's nice and all, but he gives WAY too much online homework for weight training. Mandatory to go to class, after 3 no shows you in danger of failing. Choose youre no shows carefully. He DOESN'T remind you to doDOESN'T know when the homework is due. ALL he loves to do is talk so much.
I was beyond mad when I received my grade I got a D+ and was only absent once . All the assignments are online and I got 100's on all of them and I think I was late once by five minutes. As an A straight student to get a D in a gym class is absurd.
great class! so what you have to do papers ! it's college !! sorry you have to do work! he is super adorable !! great teacher definitely recommend!!!! he definitely gives great advice!!!
He was a great professor, very fun and chill. Acts more like a friend and for a gym class that's a plus. He's easy to talk to and I plan on taking another one of his classes. Online assignments are easy so people need to stop complaining.
Professor Wolfson is a fantastic educator and he really seems to care about what he teaches. Most students are confused when they hear that he gives actual written work, however this work is very easy and it actually inspires you to live a healthier life style. His combination of physical activity along with written work is perfect.
He was amazing teacher. not only did he asked my class multiple time if the assignment was too much but he also reminded them it was due. I think they weren't used to checking their online account because i would do a small assignment every once and a while. He asked almost classed if it was too hard and no one ever answered. CHECK BLACKBOARD
Great class, easy but have to present just one time and have 2 projects to do. All homework and test even the final are online open book. Need the textbook
Great guy, all the assignments are online and the test are open book. be aware that you cannot miss more than 3 classes.
One Credit gym class has more assignments then a 3 credit class!
Definitely one of the best professors I've had extremely informative. Learned a lot and also enjoyed this class.
He is cool and all but, To much homework for a gym class. He talks about him self a lot ! In order to motivate his students he says pretty harsh things at times. Instead of motivating you he can make you feel bad
Had Professor Wolfson for Weight Training, definitely one of the better Professors at suffolk. Very well educated and he really tries to help his students become more motivated and physically active. If I could, I would take one of his classes again, 10/10 would highly recommend.
If you get over the fact that you jog in the beginning of class (you get used to it) class is fun and his lectures/talks I found very enjoyable. Would take the class again just for fun. Don't be stupid with the small assignments he gives you, show up to class and you'll get an A. Fun and competitive professor. Doesn't make you compete.
Prof Wolfson is one of the best professors I have ever had! He knows his information and does an amazing job at teaching us students. I actually looked forward to going to his class. He is so inspirational he has impacted my life in the most positive way possible. Pay attention and do all assignments, you will do great!
Best professor ever! I wish the other professors could get some teaching lessons from him! He's amazing and wants to see you do well. Tests are good, assignments are good. Show up, do your work, pay attention and you will get so much out of this class.
He's there to make sure you are active and to improve your physical activity. He gets you very pumped in the begging of the class. He like to tease and be on your case but he is very respectful. He makes you run for 5 mins in the beginning of class. I really like this class. Would take him again.
He's a real cool guy he acts really strict about the stuff on the syllabus but just show up and do those easy online assignments on time and you'll be fine he just has to see that your giving some type of effort to the class
He calls himself a professor? You know what they... those who can't do teach. He is clearly self absorbed by talking about himself all the time. He is a waste of anyone's time. He's more qualified to be an elementary gym teacher.
I wish I never met him. I would never suggest him to anyone. I'm surprised he's a professor.
Took him for fitness walking, hes a really great teacher, if people say he is too harah they are offended by anything because hes not at all, if you show up and do your part hell love you he bonds with his students and actually gives very helpful life information regarding financing and nutrtion, well educated. Overall wolfsons the man!
Took him for Adventure Fitness (PED132), and IDK what these negative reviews are about... He will expect you to participate and be dressed. He's an honest and nice guy although his humor is a little crude. I had no complaints except he gave out 4 typed assignments including a final. I was a lot for a gym class, but they were all ridiculously easy.
He was such a great professor. I wish I could have taken him again. He was the sweetest guy.
Professor Wolfson is the quite definitely the best, awesome, respectful, and funny instructor who I met on this campus and he is one of my favorite professor!. I am going to definitely miss him especially hearing his inspirational life lessons and of course hearing his stories about his life, I recommend taking this instructor.
I took Wolfson for Total Fitness in the summer session, honestly, I have no idea what the negative reviews are about. Sure for a gym class he gives plenty of assignments, but they ARE SO EASY, literally did them all within 20 minutes. One of the funniest guys I ever met and cares about this students, definitely take this guy! Work for your A!
What can I say about Professor Wolfson? Awesome Professor who is always there for his students and genuinely cares about them. My first introduction to Professor Wolfson was in Spring semester 2016. I took his spinning class . In Fall 2017 took Lifetime Fitness. No cellphones . Show up for class on time. Respect him and his class. Do that .
Great professor. Grades on a 0 or 100 scale. Not many assignments but do the work and pay attention and youll do fine. Knowledgeable in finances. Genuine, cares about his students, take the class.
Wolfson was great. He definitely teases students here and there but that's only if they're late or are doing something they shouldn't. Workload was easy, attendance is mandatory. He gave great life lessons tied with the class lessons. I would definitely love to take another class from him. Just do the work, show up for class, and you'll pass.
Amazing person and such a caring individual. He is tough at times but he gets you to put in the effort. I am so glad to have had him as a professor even though I dreaded taking the class but he made it fun and I learned a lot.
Cares about his students. Very funny.
Cares about his job and students. Passionate about fitness & will encourage you to be passionate about it too. Strict attendance policy & a few easy writing assignments but worth it for his classes. Only annoying thing is he is constantly giving long lectures about irrelevant things that he cares about like food, finances, cell phones.
Is very honest with you and tells you straight up how it is. Talks a lot about stocks and how he's going to be a millionaire when he retires but overall he is a good teacher. Just be ready for a lot of lectures about money/stocks.
Very knowledgeable guy explains through his own life experiences. Do the work, and you will pass!
Best phys ed teacher ever
he really cares about his students
He really tries to make responsibility for oneself very clear and although he would push his students he always showed that he cared. I wish more students can take him.
Not professional. Uncaring for ones safety like making students ride on broken bikes and offers fake health advice. Stay away for any class.
Just talk too much but nice
I have never had a professor like this before. Hes pretty easy when it comes to grades. Just do the work. I think I learned more about his life then the subject of the course. Was not expecting this at all for a health concepts class. We used the textbook once. There is one presentation. They should rename the course to the life of Wolfson.
Talks about himself for majority of the class but do the work on blackboard as annoying as it is to have homework for gym class- easy A
Read the book. Quizzes are short answer & multiple choice. Follow book for proper form. Film & document your workouts via video & log as well as meal prep. Type your responses. Listen to his feedback. Breathe through your mouth. Evaluate & comment on other student's posts. Visit him in person. He responds to emails.
Awesome professor, I like the way the class was set up to become close. But I wish we played more real games in this class instead of the mass amount of get to know each other activities. Overall great class and caused us to socialize and meet others.
A lot of homework for a gym class ? THIS IS COLLEGE!! I honestly dont understand all the bad reviews, prof Wolfson is an amazing professor , show up to class , participate , do your homework and youll get an easy A . Wish more prof were like him, he teaches you how to save money and whats going to benefit you in the long run. 10/10
He pushes you to be your best. But if you can't run the last lap of the 2 miles he doesn't force you. He's understanding but also strait forward. He's a really cool and funny guy. I would definetly take him again. No text book, a couple easy homework assignments, we had no tests at all! But participation and attendance is mandatory!
Professor Wolfson was by far the best professor ive had in suffolk. i had taken him twice for PED credit and i'm taking him again in spring 2020 for health class. he is a good professor and an easy A. I definitely recommed him,.
Very easy class, make sure you do the homework and participate and you will get a A+. He is very respectful and funny!!!!!!
Great professor especially since everything that happened with coronavirus and we had to change to distance learning. Very understanding and caring. Wants you to succeed.
Honestly one of the best professors Ive taken. I wish I could take him a bunch more times. Hes super funny and wants to help you succeed. He can go on tangents sometimes, but overall he was an amazing professor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
He's very nice and expect highly of all his students. Make sure to be organized and keep track of due dates. Has some assignments on blackboard that were fun and easy. He responds quickly to emails. Easy A as long as you do the work.
One credit class has more homework assignments then my other 3 credit class. he's so annoying the homework are sooo long and boring I feel like im pulling my teeth don't take him you will regret it !
By far the hardest class Im taking this semester. He gives more assignments than any professor I have and they take up the entire day to complete.
The class was fully online because of covid but honestly Prof. Wolfson handled the situation amazingly. He was responsive to every single email and did his best to help with any questions or confusion. If there was a reasonable issue with an assignment he did the best he could to accommodate.
I had him for Adventure Fitness, and I'm taking another gym class with him next semester. He's a great professor and he really cares about all of his students. He enjoys talking about finance so if you have any questions about it, talk to him. 10/10
Funny guy and very knowledgeable on subjects other than physical fitness. He is a rangers fan though.
He would have one set of directions in a word document he put up on blackboard, but have different directions on the submit page. Man said to track 4 cardio exercises and the document says the run/jog should be about 30 min. I did a 30 minute jog around my neighborhood and he says i did a 30 minute walk and it was supposed to be 50 min. Ridiculous
Wolfson is an easy A+, if you're thinking about taking his college seminar class do it! He doesn't accept late work as the work given isn't very much and he gives you plenty of time. The class is fully online but the directions are made very clear. If you have any questions email him, he does get back to you pretty quickly.
Discussion every week test every week. But makes it easy to understand class. His test are based off his lectures very important to know. IF you take notes during each week lecture you will def pass the test. Great teacher. funny too.
He gives extremely hard workouts that not everyone is able to accomplish.
He gave a lot of work for a 1 credit course and still had grading to do a week after grades were due.
This class was horrible. Professor Wolfson is way too strict of a professor especially for an online gym at the community college level. His gym class was actually the strictest and most harsh with deadlines that I've had since online school started. DO NOT ENROLL
Doesnt answer emails, grades strictly on simple assignments
He is strict on attendance so you need to make sure to show up and there is group projects and crap ton of papers. But honestly, he's really clear on directions, super easy-going grader. Cool guy, not sure what all of the other reviews are about. His lectures a little boring but it's a super easy class to pass with an A+.
I HATE his cat. Simba makes too much noise so I can't focus. Cool guy though.
Even though he does give quite a few essays. They're super easy, he's a really easy-going grader. Lectures are a little boring but this class is easy credit and he's a chill guy. Totally recommend the class.
cram a full semesters of work within 3 weeks
Crammed a 15 weeks course into 3 weeks!! Gym membership was mandatory and be prepared to go just about every day because he assigns so many workouts it's insane. Extremely strict on grading and due dates. Don't take lifetime fitness.
Very nice but a lot of work
Good Professor! Lots of work but great motivation
I took Professor Wolfson in the fall for the PED121 Jogging and Fitness class and it was pretty easy. Don't wait until the last minute to do your homework. For homework you have to jog and send screen shot and time lapse videos of you exercising and stretching. During class you are expected to jog, he just cares if you at least try.
Professor Wolfson is an amazing professor. I had him for two classes ( health and gym) and wish I could have had him for more. He is very helpful. As long as you complete your assignments your good. I always looked forward to logging on zoom being that his lectures were so inspiring. Professor Wolfson is amazing!!!!!!!
Actually cares about his students and makes class fun. Assignments are actually beneficial.
Great professor and makes class fun
Easiest course you will ever take. Recording in the gym is a little odd but Professor Wolfson is a chill guy. The work is very minimal and he is quick with emails and concerns.
Recording yourself at a gym was extremely awkward. & required a lot of assignments for a 1 credit class. Very easy but a lot of assignments required. Easiest A but be ready to get to work.
When I read the negative reviews about cramming 15 weeks into 3 weeks, are they kidding? THEY SIGNED UP FOR A THREE WEEK CLASS BY CHOICE. Shorter semesters like winter is the SAME amount of work as a regular semester. Can't believe people who won't get out of bed to go to school & pick online classes in winter are complaining. He's great.
he is the best, i would take him again. he's super funny and makes the class fun, he would join our teams to play with us too. there isn't many assignments but they are all easy.
Prof Wolfson is a great guy i took his for 2 semesters, he's very understanding and funny and as long as you participate and submit the (very easy) assignments, you'll have fun in any of the classes you take with him.
Good professor.
Great professor. Has a good, but also a (not extremely) dark sense of humor. All assignments given were straightforward/easy, but will sometimes need clarification. For participation wise, he only cares only if you try.
He is a great professor. He has a good, but also a (not extremely) dark sense of humor. I know it says PED146, but I had him for PED147: Badminton/Pickleball, which isn't an option to select at the time. All assignments given were straightforward/easy, but will sometimes need clarification. For participation-wise, he only cares if you try.
Very nice professor and very straightforward class. Just show up and put in effort, and you'll pass. There are also a few assignments, but they are very easy.
I took PED175 it was very easy just hand in your assignments on time and you'll do good. I took a hybrid class and you have to record yourself in time lapse at first it was annoying but you get used to it and it gets you to want to workout more often. I would definitely recommend him.
This class was super easy and enjoyable. As long as you participate and submit your work on time, you will leave with an A!
Way too strict for a 1 credit course at a community college level
very accessible and easy to talk to
