Melanie is an incredible professor! She is knowledgeable, kind, and her teaching style is fun and engaged. I have taken her classes two semesters in a row, the first Intro to Physical Fitness and Wellness and now Kickboxing. She is fair and will work with you, just make sure you're in class and participating!

Kickboxing w/Melanie has been the most fun I've had in a college PE class! I've had so much fun & a great workout every single time. I was a little nervous at first due to the physicality required but she takes the pressure off & makes it enjoyable. Friendly, kind, constructive comments - love her! I would take any class she teaches in a heartbeat.

She is really chill, very sweet, supportive and ultimately an AWESOME professor! If you have a choice, totally chose her for Kinesiology!!

Super nice, and very engaging class.

Great teacher, Be prepared to take a quiz every week, A lot of reading if you decide to read, dont need a book to pass if you are well informed about health. A fun entertaining class she even participates.. Would definantly take again.

Mrs. Rose was fantastic, I enjoyed the course far more than I initially thought I would. Attendance is key, and so is a positive attitude. She always brought the smile and motivation every day which made it easier to find yours. Come to class, put in the effort and should be just fine. Always felt like she genuinely cared about her students,

Melanie Rose is an absolute gem and an incredible instructor. She makes kickboxing fun and rewarding. Don't be discouraged taking this course because it's a tough and amazing class to take and you won't regret it.

The first week is a little difficult because you have to get your body used to exercising, but it is all worth it. In her kickboxing class she took her time to teach the different punches and kicks and always helped when it was needed. Just show up to class and try your best each day and your set. Loved her! Would take the class again hands down!

I am 100% more confident in myself. Mrs. Rose's passion for self-defense and kickboxing inspired me to pursue some sort of martial arts. Remember, this is a self-DEFENSE class, so we are learning how to de-escalate and escape life-threatening situations. Prepare to work out, laugh, critically think, and truly form a bond with others around you. FUN

Mrs. Rose is great! I feel like I am more capable of being able to protect myself if I am ever in a dangerous situation. Make sure you're at least somewhat in shape beforr taking this class or else you might struggle a bit. Would reccomend!

I took self defense with Mrs. Rose and I absolutely loved the class! She is a very good instructor and teaches valuable information when it comes to your safety and what to do in certain situations. Be ready to workout and have fun, its empowering to learn these skills!

She is a very caring person, such a beautiful/inspirational soul, very understanding and will always come to class with a huge smile and positive energy! Makes sure you understand her lectures. Participation is key, SHOW UP TO CLASS!

Professor Rose is absolutely amazing! I took her 1304 health class this semester and had a blast. If you do the work, show up to the classes, and listen to her lectures this class will be a breeze. Plus she's super fun! She'll always show up with a smile on her face and ready to crack some jokes.

Love this course! She made this class really enjoyable and I definitely recommend!

Professor Rose is a great professor! She always comes into class with high energy and is excited to teach. I would take her again without a doubt :)

Melanie Rose is a great professor. She always has energy and loves to create conversations between students. If you show up and participate you cant fail this class.

Light on the work, short lectures and classes

Mrs. Rose is a fantastic teacher! The class was really easy with a small amount of homework. The homework was truly beneficial to the students. She does a great job of setting her students up for success in their future careers. The tests were also super easy. She handled going online perfectly and I still felt like I was in class.

Self-defense was such a fun class! It was a great workout and very educational as to how to defend yourself properly. I enjoyed this class immensely and always looked forward to working with Mrs. Rose. She made sure that we learned the moves all while getting in a great workout and having a lot of fun. The class was even great online!

Very good professor. She knows the material and always willing to help! The exercises are great and she switches it up each week! Take advantage of the workouts she offers, you won't regret it.

Amazing teacher and a great educational class. Class is very easy but know you still have to work to achieve the grade you want. Do what is asked and you will pass, plus you will absolutely love her as an educator.

Amazing! Melanie Rose is a great instructor who teaches her students very well. When I first started her class I knew nothing about punches or kicks. Now at the end of the course I now know how to do combinations, blocks, kicks, and many more things. You have to work for the grade you want to earn in class. Overall it is a fun class to be in!

This was probably my favorite class. She made it so fun and I didnt want it to be over. If you show up and keep up with the work it is an easy a. The only thing tough about this class is that it is a real work out, but you can go at your own pace. Very positive attitudes from the teacher and students. Questions are encouraged. Great class.

She was so sweet, but the summer classes were in the morning while I was working so I wouldnt recommend taking her class if you work. It is really fun and she truly seems like she cares. Shes very specific on what to do and willing to give you extra credit if you missed an assignment. I highly recommend her!!!!

I took the 4-week summer course. It was really fun! It pushes you but it's for the best. Ms. Rose is super fun and her expectations are clear. We got to learn some really cool moves, you'll love this class!

One of the best professors I've ever had! Very upbeat, straightforward. The class was excellent considering the circumstances due to the Rona.

she was by far one of the best the teachers I've had this semester. she gives many chances for extra credit. not all the lectures were mandatory during corona but it was the best way for me to really understand the material. she's super nice and loves to include everyone of her students

The course was very straightforward and flexible, I highly recommend taking it with Mrs. Rose. Shes very passionate, provides good feedback, and engages with her students!

She is a very great teacher I highly recommend everyone to take her class a EASY A if you turn in the work

Great Professor. Easy A, just turn in the work. I would definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed her class! Got to learn more about myself and the class was very fun to be in. Would definitely take her class again just for the fun of it!

Professor Rose actually made working out fun, and learning about it even more fun, complete the work on time and you will pass.

I really enjoyed this course! Mrs. Rose is really clear and straightforward and if you do the work and do the workouts, it's an easy A. She provides feedback on workouts that are encouraging and pushes you to continue and also offers extra credit. Overall I definitely recommend having her as your instructor!

Her class was great and easy breezy.

Make sure you try to attend her lectures or listen to the recordings. Go into detail while doing workout journals and use your notes for quizzes.

A really good professor and keeps the class engaged during lectures. She gives a reasonable amount of homework, and even then it's easy, plus she also gives extra credit opportunities. Overall, really great, I would definitely take again .

TAKE HER! EASY GPA BOOSTER AND HER LECTURES ARE VERY ENTERTAINING. SHE IS VERY ACCESSIBLE AND ATTENDING HER LECTURES COUNTS AS EXTRA CREDIT! -JS YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

If you do the work, you can make an A and she offers extra credit point for every lecture you attend plus extra credit to boost your grade. The group project is what hinges your grade so you have to make sure you communicate and get your project done or your grade is going to suffer.

Professor Rose is very informative, and her lectures are well prepared. She is a very positive person, and she spread that positivity in her classes. Professor Rose makes living healthy life easy and simple. She is brilliant, sweet, kind, fantastic, and cool. Thank you so much, Professor Rose, for the amazing course this summer.

SHE'S REALLY AN AMAZING PROFESSOR. IF YOU DO ALL THE WORK YOU PASS. EASY A

Attending her lectures arent mandatory but you do get extra credit if you attend. The class is super easy and you actually learn a lot. Just turn in your assignments and youll get an A.

Professor Rose is super sweet and clear about what is expected of you during this course. Attendance counts as points so you have to show up, quizzes are easy and all assignments make sense in relation to the course. She recommends you get the book but we didnt really use it so you can save some extra money there. Shes realistic and very helpful!

Shes literally one of the best professor Ive had in a long time. She give clear and understanding lecture's. The quizzes or easy, the labs and lecture are easy and she loves class participation. She always wants you involved in the class lectures. I will recommend her to any and everyone. So if you havent had her please do so!

Professor Rose is awesome! Probably the best professor to take Kinesiology with. She is always energetic and tells you what to take notes on which will be on the quizzes she gives. If you go to0 class you receive points and you get to keep all the points you earn so honestly the grade you end up getting si the grade you chose to get.

Professor Rose is an awsome professor. She makes class fun and is a joy to be around. I bought the textbook but I did not really use it, professor Rose does a really good job going over the powerpoints so you do not really need the book. If you get the chance to take her DO IT!! It was an easy and fun class and she truly cares about her students!!

Took foundations of kines. I've had multiple of Ms. Rose's courses, and she's always the same. Fun, understanding, clear in her grades and assignments, and provides a LOT of useful feedback to help you think outside of TCC. Honestly, one of the best professors at the campus. Put in some effort (and i mean SOME)and it's easy to get an A+

There is a syllabus with the clear grading criteria and dates for the three quizzes. The lectures are fun and clear, I would definitely take this class again with her.

Professor Rose is a really amazing teacher whose energy just lights up the room, especially if you take her in the morning. There's no need for the textbook really, because she tells you what is on the exam with her lectures. She is really nice and understanding but don't procrastinate because late work will not be taken.

Professor Rose is an amazing and caring professor. Her lectures are interesting and very informative. The quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention and write notes over the lectures. She offers a lot of extra credit opportunities and is straightforward with the assignments. Overall, she cares about her students and made the class fun!

Quite literally one of the best professors I've ever had! Her classes are so interesting and easy! There's so many things I learned in this class and that are actually useful for everyday. She's a motivational and amazing professor!

Professor Rose is seriously amazing. She treats the class more as a professional training environment than solely fitness-based kickboxing. You'll learn self-defense as well as strategy for if you were in a real fight. The skills checks are really simple and over all, if you show up and participate you should be able to get an A.

Professor is super upbeat and really funny. she really tries to help you get out there and make more connections and be more outgoing. she gives extra credit, not a tough grader, assignments and quizzes aren't hard.

I would highly suggest having Ms. Rose as a teacher because she has a very clear expectation for what she wants you to do. Don't worry there is plenty of chances to earn extra credit. Also showing up is a grade but that's points towards your goal grade so definitely show up. She does have speakers come to the class so don't miss those days.

One word, GREAT!

The BEST at it, take her and you won't regret

Easy A, love the teacher!

Teaching style is clear and straight forward, she makes sure you get work done and turned it. Quizzes are straight from the notes. She is very helpful and caring.everyone learns a lot PowerPoints are on point with information.

Profesor Rose is a great profesor, her class was interesting and she makes her lectures fun.

Explains thoroughly what is needed to get a A in her class at the beginning of the semester. This was one of my favorite classes and professors I have taken thus far.

Professor Rose's class was very fun to take and I certainly would take again. From the very beginning, she outlines what it takes to get an A in the class. Her lectures and labs that we had were engaging with students. Overall, it was a fun class to take and I would recommend to others.

Professor Rose was an awesome instructor, you absolutely should attend class because that's where you get alot of notes for tests from. She gave clear instruction on how to be successful in class. Show up and do the work.

Professor Rose clearly loves what she does and really cares about her students. Her class is 90% in class participation. If you show up and stay involved you will definitely be successful!

She is funny but also a "no-nonsense" type. You do need to be on time, as a procrastinator myself, this was a huge push for me to manage my time wisely which was what I've needed for a long time. The only reason I didn't get a A+ was because I forgot to do one of my quizzes 10/10 highly recommend

Coach Rose is a great professor, as long as you show up and take good notes you will pass! This course was a perfect mix of lectures and lab (working out). Her grading is straightforward, most grades will come from attendance, and quizzes about lecture. She is easy to contact and will answer any questions you have.

Awesome coach, I had her for kickboxing and she inspired me to actually try and always gave positive feedback even when I was sure I was doing everything wrong, very inspirational and fun. I would definitely take her class again.

Coach Rose is a great professor, her class is easy to pass as long as you show up and participate. She is super caring and straight forward.

No overstatement, she is absolutely AMAZING. She changes people's lives, keeps us engaged, plus her class is easy as pie. If you want motivation and a class to look forward too, take her class.

Coach Rose is such a great and inspirational teacher! I have learned so much from her and her class that I applied to my everyday life. Highly recommend taking her class!

She's really good chill and I wasn't even in the class most of the time or I was about 5-10 minutes late and she didn't even complain about it and instead helped me fix my grades and stuff. Very good professor 10/10!!!!!

Coach Rose was by far one of the most upbeat and inspiring instructors Ive had. Taking the 8-week course required a little more effort on our part to complete a one hour workout outside of class but everything else was lecture based in class. It was a quick course where participation and attendance matters but really easy to get an A+.

she's super nice and really funny

Easy class. Just show up, take notes from lecture needed for quizzes and work out.

Amazing!!!!! This professor is very helpful and loves to keep us motivated during our workouts. I took her during the summer and I've learned a lot during the whole summer semester.

Coach Rose is an amazing teacher. Ive taken her for fitness and composition as well as pilates, and everything she teaches she makes it fun and easy. Her grading is based mainly on attendance if you are taking pilates. We did do a couple of actual work but it was mainly making your own work out. Overall, it is an easy course. This course is 1148.

Best and easiest class ever! yes you have to show up to class and work out. But she grades easy and no real final exam. Literally just show up and work out do the few assignments or quizzes and you will make an easy A. 5 assignments 4 quizzes and one reflection paper as the final

we had quizzes over the lectures we had each class, they weren't so bad if you took good notes. She even takes time to review the quiz contents with you. Participation and attendance is graded so make sure you show up on time. She is very understanding and goes over which workouts would be good for your plan.

Mrs.Rose was super friendly and helpful! I loved the class and learned a lot, pretty easy but you still doing work. She's very helpful and supportive, loved the class!

Professors' bubbly and kind personality kept me engaged, It was honestly my best class this semester.

Coach was very clear and makes the class about you. Weekly quizzes that are 10 questions super easy and a quick workout. 10/10

great professor, lectures are detailed and good, quizzes are 10 questions very easy goes off last lecture.

She is a great professor. Nothing to difficult, she gives a 10 question quiz at the beginning of each class.For attendance she gives 10 points for being present during the lecture and 10 points for completing the work out. If you have an unexcused absence you will receive a 0. The class is super easy just don't skip class and participate.

Professor Rose is super passionate about what she does and it really shows! lectures were super engaging and the course work was light (be warned she doesn't post slides and quizzes draw exclusively from the lecture, so really need to be good at taking notes!) so long as you show up and pay attention you'll do great and learn some great stuff

Professor. Rose is an outstanding instructor! She adds such passion into her lectures and makes sure to give important information not only for quizzes but in life to live a healthy lifestyle. She makes the lectures easy to understand! I 100% recommend choosing Mrs. Rose as your instructor, you will definitely love and learn so much from her!

The nicest professor I've ever had! She makes things very clear and will repeat things if you need her too. You workout for about an hour which if you have trouble coming up with a workout plan she will gladly help you! If i ever get the chance to take her classes in the further i will!

Enjoyed being in her class!!

She pushes you to do as best as you can and follows clear lectures along with easy to follow assignments and exercises.

She is a great professor. She is funny and has great humor, but she will not hold your hand for anything. You have to take accountability and turn your work in on time. It is very easy.

Knows what she is talking about, has an extensive background on the subject (which should be the standard, but I have had many clueless professors) If you want advice on fitness, ask her!

I loved my expierience in this course with this professor .

Awesome Kinesiology professor, straight to the point, amazing lectures, clear expectations. Would definitely take again!

she is an amazing professor, super clear on instructions and very easy class to pass, you only fail it if you try failing it
