This was the easiest class I have ever taken. It is impossible not to get an A. You don't even have to do the reading. She was always happy to answer any question we had. She always has extra credit on her tests and they are only 30 questions long.

This was the easiest class I have taken at ARC so far. I would reccomend it to anyone who needs extra units without the work. Great teacher, very helpful. I never opend my book the entire semester and I got an A in the class.

Awesome teacher! I recommend her highly, class pertains to everyday life and health, it is very useful. The teacher is helpful and cares about students. Gives handouts which cover main concepts in lecture and they make a good study guide.

I really liked this class. The teacher really knew her stuff and was excited about the material. She was always very nice when I asked for help.

This is one of my favorite professors, everything is clear, she sticks to her plan, and is very nice. Class was fun!

The class was boring, but it's an easy A. All tests are multiple choice. She is nice if you are on her good side.

Dr. Ott is a great professor. She knows the material and teaches it well. She can be a little rude if you come in a little late. Other than that she is great.Lots of activities and not so hard on tests. Easy A for the class.

Can be rude, but coming in late and talking in class is rude, too. Easy A. Fun, interesting projects and one oral presentation required.

Boring lecture, nice lady. If you pay attention in class and read whats assigned you should do fine. The personal wellness project is a large portion of your grade. I suggest you invest a lot in that project.

Knows subject very well. Easy to underdand. Not easy tests.

Fairly odd. She had little or no real flexibilty in policy. Also, she had a strange habit of relating numerous anecdotes she found amusing or informative (often the same ones over and over). Class was not hard. Just boring. She also can't say 'antibiotics'. It comes out 'antibotics'. *shrug*

Nice class. Nice teacher. I would recommend.

If she doesn't like you, she will use emotional deduction to bring you down. I dislike those that think emotionally. If you are on her good side, this class is easy, but like others have said, this professor is very rude. It is an easy A if you stay on her good side and do all of the assignments, but because of her personality, I wouldn't take her.

I am shocked to see such bad ratings for Ms. Ott. I thought she was quirky and cute. The tests weren't too bad, I even got 100 percent on one of them. Although I am extrememly interested in the subject, I thought her teaching was fair and easy.. don't be late. That's my pet peeve too. Great teacher

in her stress health management class you learn a lot of techniques. She is really nice and helpful too. Don't buy the book you won't use it. if you need it go to the library. don't be late. Her notes tell you everything too! go to every class it's not that hard! I got an A very easily here too!

u have to study. no slacking advised. u do use the book. i did to help me memorize key terms./etc. for tests.. tests are challenging. multiple choice. true/ false ,fill blank, etc. stress techniques taught. one a week. very helpful/. did journals, explaining what u learned, etc.. for me, interesting,. got a lot out of it.advise study groups highly.

everything was well organized and crystal clear, i always like that

likes to brag about how she went to grad school.....ALL THE TIME!

I really learned alot and enjoyed the class and the teacher

It was a very easy online class, the questions on the test came right from the book. She also gave lots of assignments, which were able to compensate poor test grades. the class material was also interesting and usefull.

I liked her fine. She was good to me, but I did my work on time and didn't have any special needs. Let me come in and do my final in-house and was very nice to me and agreeable. never had any trouble at all. Always prompt in her responses back to me, I recommend her if you're going to study and do the work. She's not a baby sitter that's for sure.

She is very fair, I like how she sets up her class, everything is crystal clear. Lots of interesting discussions in class. Not a class for lazy people

I enjoy the class and got a lot out of it, I eat better and exercise more and feel better. The teacher really helped me when I had something happen that caused me to get behind

Took the 8 week online class. Everything is laid out for you. You can not be lazy in this class, checking in every week. Lots of help for Ott and other students.

I followed this professors instructions and studied the class lectures, web resources, and other information Professor Ott posts on D2L. I made sure to do course objectives and got an "A"...

This was a A++class, full of information, thorough coverage. But, YOU HAD TO DO THE WORK!!! Most on-line classes are challenging in that you MUST be disciplined and understand HOW to do the work. NO last minute stuff will suffice. This was a great class, because I learned so much from Dr. Ott and all the resources.

Loved the class and instructor, she was really nice and cares.

Very clear assignemnt instructions. Very helpful. Great class with good use of the material.

Ms Ott is a really cool professor. She does lecture fully for the entire class period, however she gives you power point handouts. The LECTURE NOTES are important for the test. Get the textbook you will use it all the time. It's textbook tests. And they're multiple choice. Minimal class work - Grades on Attendance

The class is an option for general education requirements. She was a cool teacher, organized. If you study for the exams you are in good shape. Follow the syllabus, she is mostly very good at staying on time. She gives out the power-points, study guides before exams, therefore the book is not big of a deal, or at least the semester I attended.

I LOVED THIS CLASS! Formerly Ott, Now Rivers, this professor is pretty awesome. She is super nice, you can go to her with ANY problem and she will really try to help. She made class fun and is pretty easy-going. She doesn't give a lot of homework, mostly just reading and studying if she does. I would take her again! Be ready to participate!

Professor Rivers was awesome! Her class was super easy and enjoyable. She was very nice and loves her students and really wants everyone to pass. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Her lectures and notes were very clear and the exams covered the notes. Easy in-class assignments and short tests. Easy A!

Prof Rivers can come off as a hard ass but if you try, this class should be an easy A. She assigns very little hw and tests are given based almost 100% on notes. I do have a strong background in all subjects covered, but I found the book to be a waste of money. I never used it once and barely studied for a single test and still got a high A.

Very nice professor, but make sure you can follow directions! PowerPoints and homework were a bit long but I got through it. I used the textbook most of the time. Gives you a week to do the homework and it is plenty of time. Very interesting and fun class!

she docks off points if you leave class during her lectures to go to the bathroom , and don't text in her class she will dock points as well. You can earn up to 15 points of extra credit. The tests are all multiple choice not that hard make sure you take notes cause she really does the tests mostly on that.

Great teacher. Would take one of her classes again.

Professor Rivers is a great teacher who is devoted to several things: her students, the environment, education, and public health, and all of this comes out through her course. She appreciates friendly discussions and will go the extra mile for you. The quizzes are easier than the final because you get two chances. The final is tough. Good teacher!

pay attention, take notes and show up for class. She's a pretty easy going Professor. I'd take her again without a problem.

Take this class, you will not regret a single moment. Everything you could ever hope for when expecting to learn a subject. Knows her subject(s). Cares about her students. No surprises when it comes to to tests. Brings the best possible out of the student. Grades fairly. Responds to questions promptly. Just engage and be apart of the experience.

Lectures are everything. I used the book once or twice, but everything she tests on is said during her lectures. Great Professor, would pick her again.

I learned alot about what people are doing that's ruining our world, and in that sense, the class is a depressing eye-opener. But the professor is still pretty positive and encourages success in her students. Straightforward tests and grading criteria. Study hard and you'll do well.

I took health online with her. She gives good feedback and grades easily. If you didn't do so well on an exam, she offers extra credit and allows you to make up the exam at the end during office hours. Her homework may take some time but it is easy. i would recommend on taking her.

Class was easy to pass. Almost NO homework. Random health activities. So its not good to miss any days. Do NOT be on your phone in class. She will call you out & dock points. Extra Credit is available through RAD. As long as you study for exams easy to pass. Everything is from lecture note. Very understanding teacher.

Prof. Rivers is an awesome health teacher. She cares about her students and genuinely wants you to do well. Had her online 8 week health class which consisted of half a dozen discussions and 2-attempt quizzes and 2 tests. Gives individual feedback on your responses which is great. Read the book, do the assignments, get an A guaranteed.

Professor Rivers is caring and just overall an amazing Professor! I appreciated her feedback and how much she cares about her students. Study for the 2 exams, participate in the few online discussion/activities and you will pass no problem. Absolutely take her!

I had a really good experience with Professor Rivers! Shes a very kind woman and wants her students to succeed. Sometimes her exams can be a little confusing so try to study for those the best that you can and thoroughly go through her study guide. She gave our class many opportunities to do well. This was an 8 week course and Im glad I took it!

For this class I used the library textbook. The 4 tests were decent, questions were on the study guides she provided. I took her hybrid class where all assignments were online which included, discussions, essays and quizzes. She can be very dry and boring, but her class is an easy A if you read. The final is cumulative but optional for A students.

Professor Rivers is a wonderful teacher. However, one thing I havent seen mentioned in other reviews is that some of the discussions for this course can be rather invasive. If youre sensitive to revealing matters about your own personal health to the entire class, please look to a different professor, as accommodations are not made.

Give a lot of material out but she gives you plenty of time to get the work done in saying this if you are a procrastinator don't take the class. Online 8-week class lecture is written all out to help with taking notes. Every week she'll supply a study guide that optional corresponds with the exam. Overall great Professor, cares for the students.

Lots of reading. Every week is a book chapter and a power point lecture. An outline is given at the beginning of the class on exactly what notes to take to pass the quizzes and exams through out the semester. Occasional discussion board posts. Easy enough. Would have received an A but missed assignments one week.

Take notes on the power points, as long as you do that & study your notes, you will do great. She had office times that did not work for me but she was willing to work with my times. For extra credit, you can take SCC and was honestly so helpful for this class, the work is easy but just a lot to remember. Honestly, BEST professor I have had at ARC!

Took the 8-week course, and there is a lot of material to study for, discussions that are toward private life and gives insight on each. Quizzes and exams are from the study guides.

I personally had a wonderful experience with Professor Rivers, she truly cared about her students and always made sure to let you know why you received the grade you did. A bit of a tough grader but for good reason, she wanted to make sure you understood the lesson. There are weekly quizzes and 2 big exams that are easy if you prepare for them.

Dr. Rivers really cares about her students and their success. Dr. River's is like, the Polaroid of everything that a teacher is and is expected to be. I love her.

Very inspirational and caring professor. Attendance is important! I'm in her 8wk in person class and she is so amazing! I did amazing 10/10 on my hw assignments, but tests can be difficult! 2 exams and I did poor on 1 and that alone dropped me to a B. Semester is almost over, so I'll likely pass, but if you are a poor tester let DSPS know!

What I really appreciated was how organized the course was. The lectures were clear and easy to follow, and the assignments were well thought out. Professor was genuinely passionate about health education, and that energy really made a difference in how I engaged with the material. I really dug in for this class always appreciated her.
