Mrs.Stassen was by far my favorite professor this semester! I actually looked forward to her class because she kept it interesting! Your grade is based mostly on tests; however, she reviews the test and covers almost everything you need to know! She does expect you to write down the notes, so you have to be a good, quick notetaker.

She has few assignments. Exams however range anywhere from 50 to 70 something questions with about 45 minutes to complete. You can use notes and search things. Bad thing is that her notes do not cover everything, and answers are very specific for exams. You can be confident in an answer from her lecture, and then on the tests it is somehow wrong.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE! I saw reviews and thought "this should be easy". Nope. I am typically a straight-A student and this class tanked my GPA. She is a terrible communicator and does not respond to emails at ALL. Her exams are all open book open notes, but they are specific and often make no sense. Almost no way for you to get an A.

LOVE her! Super caring and really wants to help students. Attendance was taken every class. The class was pretty easy, just show up and take notes! A few very quick assignments here and there but other than that just exams (Open book).She is very understanding and sweet. She definitely makes a depressing-ish class a whole-lot better! I enjoyed it.

If you're going to take HSC160 choose any other professor! It's a basic UCC required health class that shouldn't be this hard. Grade is reliant on 5 exams that are 60-80 questions WITH ONLY 40-45 minutes to take them... notes are almost worthless. Sure she's nice but this class is ridiculous and the exams are almost comical. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

Kimberli makes a class about death and dying more fun and interesting than one would think. Assignments are easy. Tests are open book. Very caring and funny. Easy to reach via email. Definitely would recommend!

Do not take this class online. Not only does she not introduce you to the course or explain it, she does not have her canvas up to standards. So much is missing on the exams, and while it is open-note and you can search things, you are given 70+ questions and only 50 minuets. Unhelpful when asked questions. Will tank your GPA.

You can easily pass this class. You can easily do other homework in her class and still know what is going on. This class is basically a middle school health class. Her exams are hard to complete on time. The exams are open-note, but she gives you 70 questions but for only 40 minutes. She is such a sweet professor though.

She is super chill, there are common sense assignments once a week. She makes lectures interesting for the most part, but assignments are super easy. Easy A and cool professor.

Please DO NOT take this class online! Her exams have 60-70 questions, with only 40 minutes to answer the questions. It's open note and book. You can use the Internet but won't have enough time to look anything up. Her PowerPoints don't have all the information from the test on them either.

She is an amazing professor. The lectures seem to drag on at times and they aren't always the most exciting, but the professor was amazing. She cared about all of her students and even though you had to show up to class, she truly didn't care what you did while in class.

Super fun lectures, she's actually pretty funny. Very knowledgeable and thorough with her lectures and how she gives us the information. Very understanding of students and is completely willing to work with you and help any way she can. Lovely to talk to, posts all of her lecture slides but they don't make a lot of sense unless you're in class.

Such a sweet lady and she really cares about her students. She takes attendance with a sheet she passes around but it does not affect your grade at all. She posts all the slideshows and the tests are pretty simple if you read through the slides.

Professor who makes you WANT to attend class! Lectures are always interesting and funny. She is open to any and all questions, I learned so much from her. Easy grader and attendance is not mandatory. Class consisted of a few easy assignments here and there and 4 exams you take outside of class (easy& not on lockdown). She is a joy!

Had to take for a gen ed and was pleasantly surprised, she's entertaining! Has a sense of humor. Homework is minimal and very doable; no textbook, all the info you need is pretty much in her slideshows posted on canvas. exams are timed, and she knows us college kids and understands that we use the notes for each exam.

Mrs. Stassen is a great professor! She explains the content well and doesn't assign many assignments; there's an exam once a month!

If you value your mental well being, do NOT take this more stress over a college class in my life. I am in high school. A very academic high school. I cried every night after exams.. I kid you not when I say this do NOT take her for HSC 160. I'm warning you. Not warning, begging. By the way, some of the answers of her tests aren't in the notes.
