AWWWWWWESOME!! i love her, she works with you one on one, and gives you advice, ask's very little of work to be done, tests are easy.. shes just awesome highly recommend!!

No nonsense simple approach. Creative in the use of colored markers for notes, her artwork handouts of the human body. great sense of humor. Deducts points for lateness, but gives extra credit for blood donors and sports participation, but She is nobody's fool, expects u to do your assignments.

AWESOME

it was ok , she is a great teacher, but dont think she cant kick butt she can! i know!

Very enthusiastic and eager to help. She pushes you to try to go beyond your best.

Excellent! Made going to class interesting!

She's the best i ever had.

She's very cool and competitive, which is mad cool and she likes to have fun, in my book that's an excellence.

she made me work my butt off, but for a good cause, she's very nice and easy to understand. i'd take any of her classes

Shes Awsome!!!!

Karen by far is one of the best teachers this school has to offer. I can say she gives her all and goes the extra mile for her students. Respect her and she will respect you. you can not find better, any where!!!!!

she is one of the best gym teachers!!!! you just have to take her classes!

I also had her for Pilates (couldn't fit both in the line). She is SO MUCH FUN, and is SO into being there for her students. She is one of the best and most inspiring teachers I've ever had. She is totally dedicated to teaching her students and knows her stuff. She's an all-around awesome person.

Cool teacher, always mad funny, insipring n upbeat, got new kicks evryday and shes madd hottt

Karen's a great motivator...shes definitely a professor that you want to take a class with...she definitely knows what she doing.

She keeps you movin'. She is highly motivated and she will get you motivated too. Be on time and try not to be absent. She is very understanding for legitimate problems. She give extra credit for community service.

she is a great teacher...she keep the class fun and enjoyable...yeah the only thing is you have to be on time and watch your absences..

amazing teacher. makes the class fun and its not that hard. she does mind if r late but only if ur more that 5 minutes late. but besides that she is a easy, fun, and exciting teacher. loved her class

amazing teacher !

Karen ROCKS! So personable and funny. She's motivating and wants to see effort, even if you can't do eveything she wants. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. Don't abuse latenesses -- it's rude to be late anyway.

She works your butt off in yoga. I lost 30 pounds that semester. I would take her again just for fun if I had the time!

she is a great teach, king of crazy but i guess you ave to be for a gym class. i recomend her and she is real nice.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KAREN!! THE BEST TEACHER IVE HAD. SHE IS HYSTERICAL AND SO MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND!! I WOULD TAKE HER CLASS IN A HEART BEAT AGAIN EVEN FOR FUN =)

karen is the best teacher ever. i had to take gym in order to graduate and i wasnt looking forward to it but i ended up having a great time. she's awesome and so so funny. she got me in great shape and i loved it. take her classes!!!

Karen is a great lady. She is very personable, and she will make you want to work out and get in shape. She is very encouraging.

one of the best! teachers i have taken. i took her for yoga and pilates! she made class really fun.

Great Motivator! High energy, Hard Work, upbeat and positive. Great Pilates class would like to take again. If you are unmotivated with an attitude, Good Luck!

GREAT TEACHER!!! SHE HELPED ME OUT A LOT WITH THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN CLASS & OUT SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING & DOWN TO EARTH & I LOVE THE FACT THAT SHE WANTS YOU TO DO GOOD & GET IN SHAPE

Karen is a very good professor. she clearly explains everything and is very knowledgable. but ATTENDENCE & LATENESS counts a LOT!...

She was the best gym teacher i ever had!!. DONT BE LATE, she will keep track of it. More than helpful with any questions i had. I had 2 classes with her, and i will only take a gym class if she teaches it. Makes the classes fun, and she is great at motivating. Take her if you can, its worth it!!!

She comes off as a very strict teacher but that's not the case. Shes's very funny and although her class is not the easiest, it's not her fault. Yoga in general is difficult...believe it or not...Her class is fun but draining!

I loved her class!!! She is awesome, I learned a lot. DO NOT BE LATE

LOVE HER, SHES SO FUNNY AND SHE CARES. SHES LIKE A STUDENT LOL. IM GOING TO TAKE ALL MY PED CLASSES WITH HER. SHES LIKE A SISTER.

i lovedd professor Carlson!!!...she is awesomee!!...i highlyyyy recommend her to anyone who is willing to work hardd!!..you just basically have to workout in her class..i dont even think she really cares about the exams she gives..lol..and DO NOT BE LATE to her class...she hatesss it!!..andd do EXACTLY what she says and trust me you'll do greatt!..

Karen is the Best PED teacher at Suffolk shes very Cool, smart , Fun to be around and Hilarious but never Slack in her Class she Hates Slackers and will embarrass you in front of everyone lol but overall shes Great

Karen is great! Shes a great motivator and she makes you work hard. Shes funny and although shes super strict on attendances and lateness, Shes very clear on her expectations and is very supportive! This class was great!

Karen is GREAT PE teacher. I took her Yoga class and I fell in Love with it because she was such a loving, caring, thoughtful teacher. If you get her as a teacher for PE you will love every second of her teaching you. She makes you work very hard and it pays off in the end. What a great teacher.

This is one of the best professors at Suffolk. She not ony teaches you about yoga, she teaches you discipline and to have respect for yourself and others. Punctuality is important but you want want to miss a minute anyway. She is funny, smart, beautiful and spiritual. How lucky I feel to have taken her for yoga and now pilates. What a joy!

Oh...pilates. How it kills me . haha. No..it's gotten much better. She is tough...and if you are willing to work your ass off...then take her class. You will SWEAT like you never sweated before. YUM! hah. But, She's very enthusiastic and upbeat. Show her that your putting 110% effort in your workout. By the way...please pass me. =) THANKS. hahahaa.

Took her 2x. She is beautiful lady with a spirtual way about her. She expects your best effort. Lateness is not accepted - just like the real world. The 2 papers are due on time. It's college folks - get with the program.

She's hilarious. She requires 2 abstracts on yoga fusion and there are 2 exams, written and phyical. With tons of extra credit available. I'd take any class she taught.

Excellent class. Excellent prof. She is very fair and understanding. She has no tolerance for lazy entitled college kids who think they can do whatever they want. She makes her students accountable.....preparing them for life outside of college

Took her for pilates, very funny and nice, lots of extra credit offered if needed, very strict on attendance.

Karen is an excellent professor and yoga instructor shes xtremely strict on attendance and she means it when she says if u r more than 5 min late dont even bother showing up bc she rly won't let u in but she is very fair and if your enthusiastic and participate in the class u'll do well she has a great sense of humor and really makes her class fun!

I took her for pilates. She's VERY energetic at * o'clock in the morning. I enjoyed coming in to her class and looked forward to it because of enthusiasm. Her class is no joke tho, if your looking for a serious workout i highly recommend her,

Amazing teacher. Great motivator. Love her.

Really fun class! Had her for pilates. She motivates you, helps you and is funny. You really do get a good workout and definetely lose weight if you put the effort. I would take her class again in a heartbeat.

I loved her! She has a sassy mouth & isnt afraid to call you out on anything. She will get you into shape & remind you summer (bathing suit weather) is only **days away. She is very strict with attendance so DONT be late she WONT let you in! If your looking to lose weight and get a great work out take her if your looking to just get by she isnt it.

I am taking Professor Carlson this semester, and I think that she is expecting too much for a one credit course; you have to be able to be in a certain level of fitness, and write two abstracts. If you don't mind doing a lot of work for gym class then take her, if not then don't.

She has endless energy and she really pushes you to be a better human being. She's very strict and believes if shes their so are you. But she is very fair and if you have a past Injury she will work with you to treat the injury and work towards better health Amazing Professor

Excellent Teacher!!!She has lmitless energy and is committedto helping her students get as much as possible from her class. She expects you to be there an to put forth effort,in other words, she expects you t behave like a college student.As an oer student I can appreciate that.although not important she is VERY hot, which dosent hurt!!!

No doubt about it you will have to earn your grade. At times she will frustrate the heck out of you and other times you will want to give her a big hug.

Several months have gone by since I took this class and just how wonderful it was is sinking in. Any professor who would recite the Desiderata is top notch in my book. Karen is a delightful human being and I loved this class even if she forced me to use parts of my body I didn't think existed.

Karen is awesome, but tough. She made parts of me hurt that I didn't know could hurt. I got nice buns because of this class and I can touch my toes! This was a summer yoga class and I look forward to taking her pilates class :) We did need to buy a novel and read it for the final, but it was easy and there was bonus points.

Karen taught me so much about nutrition and Pilates. You must be on time, and only use your absences when you really need to. She is so funny and down to earth. You do need to buy a book but its a quick read. She offers a lot of extra credit. You will wor khard for your grade but I would do it all again because she's awesome.

amazing. hilarious. just very strict on lateness and attendance. if you show up 5 min late don't bother going she marks you absent. she's awesome though makes it fun

Professor Carlson is wonderful. She is animated, energetic, encouraging and knowledgeable. She is very strict with punctuality, so aim to arrive early. My class, Yoga, required some paperwork, but it was enjoyable to research and write about the topics. You can tell she wants to bring a deeper understanding to the students.

Not sympathetic

Love Karen, she gives a ton of extra credit so if you fail, you're stupid. Each extra credit is worth 2 points each and some are worth 10 points. Don't be late, simple as that. It's college. There's no reason why you should be late and expect the professor to be ok with it. I do admit, it's a bit much for a 1 credit class. But she genuinely cares.

I loved Professor Carlson. She teaches the class not just how to spin, but also about your health and nutrition habits. She really makes you work out. If you're looking to fly by during a gym class by not doing anything, she's not the professor for you. Gives a lot of extra credit and let's you make up classes. Would take her class again for sure.

Favorite professor. Tough but understanding. Made class entertaining and as long as you attend and do the assignments you're good to go.

Show up and do the short reflection papers and get an A. Carlson is very funny and I enjoyed hiking class with her. Possibly my favorite course taken yet. After the second hike, you'll have no problem getting up to do it. I'd take it just for fun. Car pooling was great too - saved gas and met new friends.

Professor Carlson is AWESOME. Super tough, will make you feel like you're in a boot camp. Don't be late, turn in your assignments ahead of time, participate in class and do AS MANY extra credits as you can every week and you'll get a perfect 100. She was a wonderful professor!

Taking Karen's yoga class was one of the best decisions I've made. I now practice yoga in my own home, and it's become a part of my daily regimen. She is a wonderful professor. Very serious but wise and really makes you think. As long as you show up on time every class and put in your best effort you will get an A.

GREAT Awesome I took PED 155 on Fall 2016. teacher was really good. you learned a lot because you are concentrated in the class and not in extra homework. great teacher !!!great person!!!! I really learned to swim thank you

She is an amazing professor. Deeply recommend to anyone.

very attractive women! funny! inspiration to young women being a young woman I look up to her:D Fun class!

Super funny professor and doesn't take BS from anybody, let alone her students. Yoga felt a little like a boot camp; she's tough and really makes you work for it, but for good reason. Does NOT tolerate absences/lateness. There is both a written and physical test at the end. Neither were a bad as she made it out to be, but you must prepare for them.

Great Professor! She is very strict with attendance, and has no tolerance for tardiness. I just took Yoga and Pilates over the summer and it was refreshing to learn so much, she's very free spirited and always has funny stories to tell. She's also very spiritual and it makes the entire learning experience great.

Really found a passion for yoga in this class and I really liked how she pushed you but didn't make you feel bad if you couldn't do every single move full out. If you take her make sure you study for the online quizzes because they aren't the easiest thing! It could make or break your A.

I love yoga after taking her class. Attendance and participation is a must. NO PHONES!! She is an amazing motivator and loves to give extra credit. She's also funny as hell

She's hilarious. Don't be late to class! Make sure you're putting in an effort and you'll be fine. She's makes the class fun and clearly enjoys what she does.

If you are looking for an easy A this isnt the class for you. She has a couple of online quizzes, 1 paper, and a final. She is very strict, she does not tolerate lateness or laziness! Other than that shes pretty funny and chill

She is passionate about her job

Tells a lot of funny stories

If you decide to take her get ready to work for your grade. She made sure you felt the burn. This girl was late 5 minutes, probably because it was pouring out and made her leave the class. She's cool but will definitely make you work for your grade. She will call you out if you not doing the exercise right.

Professor Carlson is strict and is clear on what she expects from her students. She is also very funny and I enjoyed her class very much! I would take her class again without a doubt.

She is a great motivator and will help you get a good workout in 50 minutes. Some one page assignments but all easy and done within 20 minutes. She is so funny and cares about health, and is really passionate about her job. She talks to you as if you were her friend and makes the gym classes really entertaining.

She seems scary on first impression but she is a good-hearted and funny person. I took her for yoga but it wasn't an easy A - you have to show up and do her work. Had to read 1 100 page book for the final which is the only test. Gives extra credit. She has the best stories to go along with the discussion part of class.

Professor Carlson is amazing. I have taken two physical education courses with her. She is very strict, but she cares about her students. Be ready to workout, do not be late for her class, and do every assignment if you want to get a good grade. She is a tough grader, but you will not regret taking this class. You'll get the grade that you deserve.

Professor Carlson is my favorite professor. I took yoga and hiking with her. She has a great sense of humor and she makes physical education so much fun. Plus, she's so easy to talk to. She has a strict policy when it comes to attendance and lateness though. As long as you show up and wear the proper attire, you'll pass.

A lot of work for a 1 credit class. She seemed cold and rude but we wound up having a nice little conversation at the end of semester and I grew a respect for her. Every week there was an assignment and sometimes the videos were over 30 minutes. the extra credits were available every week but they were so repetitive.

Good Professor. She cares about her students success, but as a student you have to do your part. She is very serious about time, attendance, and participation. If you are looking for an easy PE course to slide by in, this isn't the class for you. I started the intro swimming class with no experience. I am now able to swim on the deep end.

Best Professor ever. She really cares about her students. She's strict with attendance if you show up on time, come prepared, try your best you will do well

Reviews made me question taking her class, but I had to take it since it was the only one opened. I don't think the work is as had as people say. All you need to do is read a handout & article which takes 10-15min to finish, & to participate in the exercises each week. The quizzes are easy if you read & do the exercises. Not a heavy workload.

I took this class to fulfill an easy PE requirement. Make sure you read and understand the syllabus that she posts at the start. The expectations, work, and grading criteria are clearly laid out. Each week, she assigns videos to watch, questions to answer for 1-2 articles, which are due 1 week after. It is not true that she assigns too much work.

The class is hard, but she isn't. She assigns just enough hw to give those who suck at gym a chance. You get two chances on t/f tests; if you get a t/f wrong 2xs, that's on you. Picks amazing trails. You'll love LI when you're done.

Her reviews are very harsh, she is a good professor and has a lot of knowledge about exercising and the human body. Her class is difficult ONLY if you have barely ever exercised in your life. She gives a fair amount of homework for a two credit class and gives extra credit every single week. She's also extremely funny. Bring an energy drink.

Great professor, took her in person and online. She does give a lot of work but it's so easy, you have no reason to complain. She is very strict on attendance and submitting work on time. She will not open assignments back up for you to do if you missed the due date but it's fair cause she gives you a week to do it, super easy.

Took yoga with Professor Carlson online this semester and enjoyed it. Provides weekly readings and informative videos that tie into the weekly assignments. Extra credits are given weekly, and she grades accordingly with the syllabus. Great class!

the 1st 2 classes she came off really intimidating but if you show up on time & try, you'll get a good grade. she definitely cares about punctuality. at first i was annoyed i had to take an athletic class, but i really enjoyed it. i am not at all flexible and was able to do basically everything. IMO she gives a perfect amount of feedback on poses

She's a great professor. Tough but very encouraging and motivational. Gives a lot of extra credit. Test is exactly the documents in brightspace.

I took this class coming off an injury from a car accident. She was always mindful of showing different ways to do things to help if you were struggling. If you show us and try you should do just fine in the class. She is always accessible and reads the most inspirational quotes from books. She is very knowledgeable and wants to see you succeed.
