even though she is a gym teacher, she is so psyched about what she does. She is super sweet and helpful. She has been one of my favorite GRCC teachers.

She is the BEST prof. that I have ever had at GRCC. She is so helpful, and she cares a lot about what she does!

She's the best!

Great instructor! You look forward to going to class.

Show up, relax, get an A- how easy could it get! Especially with such an amazing teacher...Mel truely cares about her students.

Great aerobics instructor. Full of energy. Really cares about students. Willing to help personally train. Great class for PE credit.

Love her she is so much fun and she will make a great mom

Mel is a wonderful person! She makes learning fun and interesting! She will be an awsome mom! One of the best profs at GRCC! :) Highly recommended!

Very high energy and on fire about exercising. She makes working out fun. She pushes you but it makes you feel so much better. I highly recommend her. She is very friendly too.

Really nice teacher.

Mel is funny and cares about her students. Show up for class, or miss 3 classes and still get an A. You'll look forward to going to class.

She cares about people more than any other teacher or professor that i have had. She is understanding and makes yoga a great learning experience.

amazing woman... taught right up to her due date. Exciting class, you get to move to the music and it feels really good to get into shape. Make sure you eat before class or you might pass out. She understands any situations, and if you don't miss more than 3 classes you get an A.

Great Person, with a nice "you know what" also.

Mel is such a sweetheart. She cares and understands individuals, very funny I might add. Alot of hands on activity..as long as you show up, do well on activities and exams, you'll get an A. DO NOT MISS ANY DAYS IN THE CLASS! it's too important! Goes over alot of chapters in 1 day!

She's not that funny. She tells a lot of stories about terrible things happening to all these people she knew/knows. A lot of video watching. A very easy 'A' if you want it.

Melanie is a really nice teacher. I'm glad to have had her. She's really understanding, personable, and friendly.

Great teacher. Her videos at the GRCC library are just as relaxing as her class :)

I had her walking class and Mel is the best! She's challenging yet extremely motivating. Overall this class is very fun and the park we walk in is absolutely beautiful (on the grand river).

Fabulous!

She is so fun, enthusiastic, encouraging and has a great personality

I have taken Yoga for 3 years in high school, by the time i joined her class i already had background knowledge. Melanie is a wonderful instructor. Her class is very fun, relaxing and worth the credit. I recommend taking her if you want an easy credit, like to sleep, or just enjoy practicing yoga

Easy A

She is my favorite TV yoga instructor. Good work out, not too zen.

I had Melanie for a walking class. Grades were based on attendance.

had her for pe 184. This class involves u reading to elementary kids. She's very enthusiastic, great personality, helpful, and kind. The other students thought so too. Fun class and easy A. Attendance is the main grade. Her curriculum project requires some work, but she grades easy. Her enthusiasm is pretty contagious, makes class fun to go to.

Great class, she's such a caring person and her stories realy connect with the subject. Very enthusiastic about her job, just make sure your on time, participate, read chapters and you'll do finee.. Easy A.

Awesome teacher! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Get to class on time (like a little early is good) and turn in your assignments on time and all will be well.

Yoga was such a fun class and Mel was a great teacher. All you have to do is show up and do your yoga journals and you'll get an A. Take it in the morning, it's a great warm-up for the day.

Melanie is awesome! All of her workouts made me work hard and her positivity and encouragement is very contagious. One of the coolest professors I've met at GRCC yet. If you need/want a wellness credit, any class with Mel is a guarantee to results and fun!

I took an online yoga course. All you do is your journals once a week and two work outs once a week with some little assignments due every now and again. Met up 3 times the semester. She's a very nice person, I would highly recommend her.

This class was very easy. She posted all of the assignments at the beginning, and we could work ahead as we wanted. I got 100% on everything. It is graded very easily, and she is very nice about everything. She posts powerpoints, so you don't NEED the book, but for the assessments, sometimes it is nice to have.

(First Aid) She was a great teacher, polite, helpful & fun! She didn't take absences lightly but with a course like this attendance is crucial. She made sure you understood the material and would eagerly help if you didn't. She makes you realize you are learning to possibly save someones life & the way she teaches makes you proud & eager to learn.

I LOVE HER! She was very interested and knew what she was doing. She created a very great natural environment and any time I had to contact her, she was wonderful! Many comments to assignments. Mandatory to go twice but the rest online.

Melanie has a beautiful heart and really cares about her students. Always willing to lend a hand and help others. An amazing person and professor.

She was an awesome professor! She made sure to keep the class interesting, and kept everyone involved. I highly recommend her courses. Great communication!

She was great! Very helpful to students. She seemed to really like being around her students and their overall well being. You can tell when a professor likes what they do for a living. I would recomend taking her classes.

She is a really nice lady who knows her stuff when it comes to Yoga. But be warned if your NOT ON FINANCIAL AID and you don't have a bunch of money to spend.

She was an amazing professor! I definitely would recommend her if you need a wellness credit. She is very helpful and understanding about anything really. She also makes the class fun and energetic. There is extra credit for you also if you miss a day or two.

cool teacher! she was really fun and easy to talk to. the assignments and 2 papers were super easy and she's an easy grader. she made it comfortable to talk in her class. mostly lecture, but she made it bearable. i definitely recommend her!

Melanie is an amazing professor and person if I had the chance I would absolutely take one of her courses. She truly cares about her students and that is hard tot ind in professors these days.

Has a very clear grading criteria, makes class interesting and fun. Is relatable and very nice, gives good feedback and tests are super easy. Just show up to class and she gives you the information so you could never forget it!

Loved Her, was very passionate, classes were fun, would take her again, I don't have one bad thing to say about her

Very helpful. Class is mandatory, you must show up to pass.

very good and easy online class i would totally take again, im much healthier now. assignments and benefitial and makes you think about your health.

She's passionate about her job. She's a really great teacher and very easy to understand her lessons. She goes over power points and gives stories. All tests and papers are take home. You must show up to get participation points 20 per day. There is either a Trifold newsletter or you must volunteer for 2 hours for Feeding america.

She was a fabulous at yoga 1 and made the class very fun. I am about to take a class this semester with her again.! Great prof.!

Melanie was so friendly and enthusiastic, which inspired me to do the best I could to improve my physical wellness. She is very encouraging and willing to answer any fitness questions you have. She is super knowledgable and has a great, upbeat personality and is compassionate toward her students.

Melanie is amazing! She made class so great and so much fun. You can see that she truly loves what she does, and that she truly cares about her students and how they are doing in class and in life in general. Participation is important but she has opportunities to make up points if you miss a day or two.

Knows how to engage with students and inspire them. Very flexible with giving you adjusted positions if you need. You will not fail if you try. Her emotional contagion is amazing. Extra credit offered, soothing and comforting voice so you're always engaged. Would love to take yoga 2 just for fun with her!

Very kind hearted and caring. Easy to relate with and is always trying to help you better yourself in everyday life. Shes very knowledgeable about what shes teaching

She's great! Online class. She makes us print, fill out, scan back all homework. She gives the whole semester all at once so you can work ahead. I did 14 weeks work in one weekend. She gives great feedback and wants you to be healthy. Very supportive! Very kind! I wish all professors were like her!

She was a great prof! She really knew her stuff, but didn't expect you to know everything. I got by the first month or so of class without the book, but then the test questions were book-specific, so I ended up having to buy it. She wrote encouraging notes with many of my grades. She seems to be doing this job because she really cares. Got 100%!

One of the best professors I have ever had at GRCC. She is very kind, caring, upbeat, and passionate about what she teaches. Her lectures are great and they get you thinking about people in your own life. I would tell my friends to take one of her classes.

One of my favorite professors. You could tell that she really wanted you to succeed and pass. She would send inspirational emails and I don't know if I would have made it through finals week without them. Her class was easy, especially since I liked the content of it. She also gave the right answers after the assignment was graded.

I really like this class. She never makes you feel bad for being different. Her voice is a little tough for a yoga class but that's nothing she can help. Attendance is your grade so you have to show up

A wonderful professor! She is upbeat and positive. I enjoy attending her class. I find her class to be easy. If you show up and do the tests and the papers you'll be fine.

I had melanie schiele gady back in 2008 l took the class 4 times or more I love this class and would take it even not a student Melanie is just the best teacher ��

Textbooks are required. Do not buy the fake lungs not required found this out after my purchases. She is an excellent teacher and really cares about her students. Her passion for this class is amazing.

Seriously the best professor I had at cc. Shes so understanding and caring. She knows her material and has personal stories to connect with the lecture. would seriously be friends with her out of school. easy A class if you pay attention, take notes, and participate.

One of the best professors Ive had here at GRCC! Highly recommend her!

Even though I have never met her in person, I can tell this professor truly cares about the success of all of her students. She provides tons of materials to help you in the class and in life. This is a super easy A.

She is very clear with what she wants done for assignments and gives very helpful feedback. I took this class online and really enjoyed it. The projects were very interesting and I felt like I learned a lot.

Her yoga class is engaging and easy. She is caring, helpful and an easy grader.

Loved this class and professor. She is so kind and makes you feel so comfortable in class. She is caring and super easy to talk to. The class was fun and informative.

I LOVE Melanie and learned skills I can use for life. Seriously, just take one of her classes. She is the absolute best.

I had Prof. Schiele-Gady for Yoga I. That had to have been the easiest class I have ever had at GRCC. I had this class online as an asynchronous course. She regularly made videos of the poses and sequences that we needed to do, provided us with excellent resources, showed her students lots of care and great feedback. Highly recommend her!

I took Melanie for EXS184 online recently and overall enjoyed the course. Content was diverse and interesting, and never very hard. The assignments feel very repetitive each week, but do them and you'll get full credit. The final is essentially open note. She seems passionate and sweet, and enjoys what she does. It's a solid intro course choice.

She is an angel brought from Heaven to Earth. Cannot recommend her enough.

Very easy to understand layout online.

Very good class

Professor Schiele-Gady is so passionate about her teaching. She gives you feedback on almost all of your assignments and cares for her students. One of my favorite professors at GRCC!

This professor is such a caring person. I honestly would love to actually meet her in person because she is so kind. Her assignments are well managed and thoughtful. She gives great feedback. She realizes that you do have a life other than school. I hope GRCC recognizes that she is great.

I have taken all but one of this professors classes. She is straight to the point and expect you to do your best. As long as you do the assignments and participate in the weekly discussion post you should do well.

I took online Yoga 1 with Melanie, Summer 2023 and she is a wonderful compassionate person. I highly recommend her as someone who really knows her subject matter and cares about her students. GRCC is very fortunate to have her on staff.

One class earns you 7 certifications. Professor made every single concept super easy and understandable. group activities were fun!

I beg you to take her class you will not regret it. The best teacher at GRCC hands down wish I could meet her In person. If your looking to take a easy class to get credits this is the one.

I loved her she made a point to say hello to everyone if possible. Every understand when had to miss if you told her, and would give you the information you need. Every hands on class with reports but very clear and straight forward after completely one or two. So nice and caring!

I wish I could have met her in person. This class was SUPER easy and you can just feel her energy through her lectures. Final Exam is literally just like any other homework assignment. Highly recommend getting your resume done as soon as possible so you do not have to worry about it later. The KINDEST prof ever.

Barely any homework besides 3 Tests, and 1 online training. The rest is participation grades. You have to show up to every class, otherwise you can't pass the class because you learn new skills each class period. Melanie is the best! You will be lucky to have her as a professor.

She is by far one of the best professors that I have had, she is very passionate about her work and very inspirational. I would definitely recommend taking her class, the work is quite simple as long as you follow along and participate in class.

EXS 189 (healthy living) was by far the easiest class I have ever taken. EVER! It was incredibly easy. All the modules were open right at the beginning. Super easy work but yet I learned a lot! Professor was super caring and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
