I took a yoga class with her, but she did not seem that friendly and approachable. Show up to class ON TIME, b/c she will be VERY irritated if you don't. There's no homework, and only two writing assignments. It's a very easy class to pass, but doing yoga for an hour and 30 minutes will become repetitive and boring.

I took her Hatha Yoga class. It's a definite easy A, just be sure to go to class because you lose participation points if you don't go. I thought her teaching method was okay, she would teach the pose and throughout class she would go around correcting you. It was a pretty good workout too because you have to concentrate on balance and the muscles.

i took her pilates class easy A. Take her as a PE. She has an accent but you will get used to it. Also she is very nice!

Linafelter's so cute! Come to her class because it's participation points. You can only miss 2 classes without losing points, any more than that she lets you make up for them, but only a maximum of 3 classes. Only 1 easy written assignment and 1 test (final). Taking her class has encouraged me to continue practicing yoga every day!

I took this teacher for pilates. It was an easy A. There's one really easy written assignment and the final, in which you're given five poses at random. I highly recommend taking this teacher!

I took her for both Pilates and Yoga. She is easy to follow and very helpful. She is very sweet and these classes were both easy. You get two free absences and those are helpful but missing a couple more still got me an A. She knows names more than you expect. I didn't feel like Pilates was a good workout but yoga was amazing.

She's super easy. Don't be rude, and she'll be great the entire semester. She's a cute little japanese lady with a fairly thick accent. If you have any questions, she's easy to approach and is always willing to help.

I thought Yoga would be a relaxing class, and most importantly an easy A. Well, i began to think differently. Your allowed to make up 3 classes. Some of the poses are super difficult to keep for long periods of time and you may or may not be correctly by her for it. She has a thick accent so make sure to listen carefully!

Took her for piltes. Great teacher. Learned alot. starts out slow, but towards the end you get a great workout.Highly recommended.

I took this class for an easy A and this class was exactly that. Attendance is important since she does collect journals at the end of each class, so she'll know if you're there or not. Final is super easy, just make sure you have the book to look up the answers since it is an open-book final. You also need to remember the positions!

I've always wanted to take Pilates, and I really enjoyed it. It's easy and a decent workout. Class attendance is important, but I missed 4 classes and still got an A without making up any of those classes. Review the positions for the final, have the book on hand, and you'll pretty much be set for an A.

Her class was easy and relaxing. The green sheet said we had assigned readings, but I'm pretty sure nobody did it. She assigned one paper due on the day of the final (which was open book, open note, & she provided a study guide). This class is an easy A if you're willing to show up & participate.

She is very helpful during class. It's hard to understand what she is saying due to her accent and the annoying noises in the judo room, but great teacher. Yoga has become very fun for me now. Thanks!

Thick accent but as long as you pay attention to her step by step, you should grasp the concept of each yoga posture. Attendance is mandatory she makes you log. Final is open notes open book and there is a paper due but she grades easy. Just show up to class and put in effort and you will do fine.

She's a bit hard to understand sometimes with her accent, but overall a great professor. If you just show up for class, put some effort in, you'll do fine. You don't need the book at all, I borrowed it from the library to write my paper & to use on the final, which was open book open note. The study guide she provides, is exactly like the final.

I took her yoga class and it was a great stress reliever. Just try to remember the poses and be on time. Other than that the book isn't used until the final and she is a good teacher.

I love her! She's very sweet and knows everyone's name. She is very fair in her grading procedures; you basically have to be focused on not attending class to fail. She seems to love her job. I really enjoyed this class.

She has a bit of an accent, but otherwise, the class was pretty easy and chill. Just attend the classes, which isn't hard to do, and follow along. The final was fairly easy, if you just pay attention to the moves.

I took Pilates to get a good workout unfortunately you don't get one til you learn all the moves which is near the end. There is no midterm but the final is a take home tests and she chooses 5 moves. Overall, it was a fun class.

Too much workload for our written assignment!

Very helpful in Pilates. She helps you if you are off with your poses and was VERY helpful if someone had an injury.

Easy class as long as you attend. Be respectful; no phones out, voices down. Class is enjoyable if you take yoga semi-seriously. She's understanding of physical limitations if you tell her. 2 skills tests, 1 written final, 1 essay, 1 written HW assignment. You need the book for final, essay, and HW but you can find bootleg PDFs online.

Expects participation

She is very kind and really wants to see her students succeed in her class. I have her for Pilates 30 and before this class I did not know what Pilates was. She really takes the time to help every student perfect their form. Always open for questions. She also has a great sense of humor if you talk and joke with her!

Professor is a great teacher. she really cares about her students and wants them succeed. I never knew what Pilates was before going to her class. the moves helped my back physically. if you have questions, just ask! she is caring! make sure you attend her classes and study for midterms from the book. modified movements are fine. i learned a lot!

She's super sweet and really cares about you. She's also very accomadating if you can't do a certain movement. I recommend her for pilates!

She is super sweet and I loved her pilates course! Some of the movements were difficult but she says to do what you can or do a modified version of the movement. She is very accommodating and always willing to help! You write what you learned after class on your journal sheet, which is graded, so attendance is mandatory. I would take her again!!

Definitely recommend taking pilates with junko if you are trying to satisfy the pe requirement. She is such a sweet lady! Attendance is mandatory if you dont want to lose points, but she also lets you make up missed classes. An easy A as long as you participate and attend class!

She is very soft-spoken and has a thick accent, but as long as you sit near the front you should be fine. She isn't as bad as everyone says, she is there to guide and help with postures if you ask. She gives a work sheet, one paper, and a take-home final. You have a daily journal for each class where you just write 2-3 sentences on that day.

Attendance is mandatory for participation pts (40). 2 physical tests (15 pts each). And one take home final (30 pts) which u use the textbook. Easy class as long as u participate. She speaks quite soft so u may not hear her as well as she teaches. She's doesnt expect u to be perfect as long as u make u memorize and make the movements flow.

took her online during covid, she tells you what to do at the beginning of the sem, which is a journal sheet and you do that every week. has 2 skill tests where you have to submit a video of the exercises she assigns you. you can tell using canvas is difficult for her, but she's trying her hardest and will respond to you quickly if u need help

I took an in-person class with her. She is a caring and warm-hearted instructor who wants you to truly feel relaxed and healthy. Give her sincere respect and smiles, and you will see she gives them back ten times. Follow and complete her assignments on time. Some immature students just procrastinated and blamed it all on her.

Passionate about this bc of the bad reviews I see that are highly undeserved- she is a great professor and I really loved her. At first, the instructions may be a bit confusing, but if you have common sense you'll do great! She is so sweet, understanding, and caring abt her students- will definitely be taking her again!!:) She made me love yoga!

Probably one of the easiest classes I could have taken. (aside from the fact that it's a literal PE class) She is NOT a hard grader, you only have to attend the mandatory classes which are usually once a month or twice a month and that's it. She's a sweet professor she just has an RBF.

Prof is very strict but not mean. she is very helpful with people who actually care to take to class gives good advice if you are having knee or back issues. If you are here for an "easy A" but don't really even care about the class itself it will be hard. Had two in-person exams which are memorizing yoga positions and a 2 page final. super easy.

Professor Linafelter is patient and passionate about Pilates. She wants to see you try and put effort into her class. Videos of performing the movements are due about once a month, but she cancels class the day videos are due. There is a skills test at the end of the semester and you have to study the names and their movements but she helps you

Very kind professor and respects corrections when she makes a mistake. There are 2 in-person skills tests (the whole class is not watching you). There is 1 written reflection (no right or wrong answers). In each class you write a journal sheet that counts as participation. There are 2 online video recordings where you preform the yoga poses.

The professor is actually really nice and caring in class and will give you feedback on things to work on. She's also very accommodating if you have back or knee problems which helped me a lot in this class. I will say that she is a little unclear at times with online assignments and you also can't miss a lot of classes so showing up matters.

If you understand her accent and not sit in the back of the room, she's a good teacher. She lectured us right from our textbook so it was easy to remember the material. Most of the grade was on attending/participating, the final exercises, and the final exam. She has students do at-home videos so it's difficult if you're uncomfortable at home.
