Mr. Hennebach was a good professor. KRS 353 is difficult because it is a lot of memorization but Karl made it interesting and was very helpful with what to expect on the quizzes. He created a lot of extra credit opportunities for the class which helped where needed.

Get ready to study and memorize for countless hours, you CANNOT slack, or it will show on quizzes and exams. Quizzes are written and exams are half online (visible body) and half in-person. Doesn't offer much extra credit and some material may not be covered in class. Exam-written portions are quite tough.

Attendance isn't mandatory but if you only attend for quizzes or exams you miss out on things like extra credit, review sessions, and class activities (that are on exams). Stay the whole period during exams, he explains the questions better the longer you stay. Performing well in this class depends on your commitment to memorizing the content.

There is no homework, however there are quizzes every week for the material learned the week prior and lab activities due. The lectures slides are note style, fill in the blanks and taught fast with a lot of information through out the week.

Karl uses outside sources that assist the students with learning (Youtube and personal stories). Karl does his best to make the information compact and easier to learn. This is a difficult class and the student does need to spend time outside of class learning the material. Overall, I would take this class again.

Karl struggles with pronouncing the names of different muscles which makes it harder for students to comprehend the information. Also, the class can be difficult if you don't ask Karl questions.

He made the lessons and lectures more interactive and fun so that it was easier to pay attention. He does keep track of attendance so make sure you go! Other than that the quizzes and practicals were not too bad. He gave us a lot of time to prepare for them both during and outside of class.

Karl is super chill and makes class engaging and interesting. He is also very understanding if you ever have any issues during or outside of class. Attendance is mandatory but that's a given considering this class (Emergency Care and First Aid) has a lot of hands-on material. However, he gives lots of opportunities to do well on quizzes and exams.

He is quite strict about attendance because this class primarily focuses on learning through practice. I understand why attendance is an important aspect of this course. Overall, if you are a strong swimmer, this course will serve as an effective workout. However, as a beginner, it definitely challenges me to learn and requires extra effort.

He is a really good and understanding professor. His lecture information is very important and useful since it matches the information on the test and quizzes. Practical exams are not hard to pass since a study guide with everything you need to know for it is on there. As long as you go to most lectures (attendance is required), you'll do good!

Just show up to every single class on time, and you'll get an A+. Ok if you don't swim every class, you can come and sit in the shade and do homework, so that's nice. No excuses to not show up except a doctor's note. The sets we do are pretty unserious, but fun, you have to make it an actual workout for yourself. I recommend it if you like to swim.
