Loved this class, best class I have taken! Great social experience and outdoor experience! The teacher was fabulous shared many great ideas and experiances! An awesome motivator, will definitely take his class any time!

he is a good prof., he always sharing his experience to student and he teaches us very well, detail about the rule of the game, willing to answer any student's questions. He is a nice teacher.

Really cool guy. He'll be your friend and your mentor at the same time. He genuinely cares for the student as it's his responsibility but he was never overbearing.

Good teacher. Would recommend to anybody.

He's a great PE Teacher that's willing to help his students become more active in their life. Best PE Teacher anyone can have since he's understanding and tries to help his students become more fit in their life! Best PE Teacher Ever!

I honestly really didn't know what to expect by taking a weight training course but I am so glad that I did. I have learned about specific muscle types and the laid back atmosphere of the class really made it a fit. I can work out at my own pace but seeing results is the most rewarding thing about this class. Randy's a pretty cool dude.

This class is fun. The Proffesor Pratt is friendly. He would help us if we need more practice. His class schedule is also very flexible for us to take. I like his class, and would take him again for fun.:)

Best PE teacher ever!!!! High recommendation!!!

He is the best Professor in EVC.

His tennis lesson is helpful.

The first time I was learning how to play badminton, I worried from beginning that I don not know how to play but he performed every method how to drop, clear, drive, smash and block. We can follow him for practice. He is very professional and help us to play better. Thank you very much Mr. Randy.

Take this professor if you had a chance!

Beginning Tennis: He's inspirational and knows what he's talking about. On the first day of class he mentioned sex and I was like woah. My first impression wasn't great because of that, but now I know he's a great teacher and very kind. Unfortunately the class size is large, but he works individually as much as he can. Show up and you pass! Legit!

Good class for beginning

Very inspirational and encourages students to participate "vigorously".

Class is awesome but it's way too easy!

Took badminton for Pratt and it was one of the only classes that I looked forward to in my week. He's a good teacher if you ask for help or advice. Being a person who joined this class just for fun, I learned a lot in badminton and improved each week. This class is really fun and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun PE to take!

I enjoyed the class, while also learning useful techniques

Great teacher!!!!

Really nice and great teacher. I would definitely take his class again.

First of all he is a kind, considerate and friendly person. Devises team work. He motivates to improve your skills, specially the lagging ones Demonstrates personally. Participates with you in game emphasizing technique, tricks and skills.

I am taking one of his class, Table Tennis. I love coming to his class after the first day.

He is a good professor in EVC.

Wonderful class to take even if you don't play sports. The class was informational on what you need to know about health, specifically excercise

Lots of wisdom

Mr. Pratt is a lovely professor of all students who have paid attendance at his classes at Evergreen Valley College.

Very chill instructor that teaches the basics of tennis well. I would recommend this class to people.

I took badminton last semester and I'm taking advance badminton. This class is so fun and each student participate which adds to the fun atmosphere of the class. Definitely recommend taking this class as a PE.

Fun class. He teaches the game at a simple pace for everyone to understand. Always a great time in class, no matter who you play, we all have fun.

A great teacher, when it comes to explaining the techniques of Badminton he goes to the main point. Its just exciting going to badminton, yet what is best about it is that he interacts with his students, challenges us and plays with us to know our mistakes.

He is very passionate about a good workout and you can tell he doesn't slack around which is a really good motivator for exercising. Show up everyday and you will get an A. It is like an open gym so you can workout at your own pace although at times we do some vigorous routines as a class. Class kept me pushing my boundaries and it's fun.

Good teacher !

I took this class not really knowing what to expect but I ended up learning quite a bit. For the most part, we do a lot of working out individually but he'll make us do cardio as a class or have us play a few games of ultimate frisbee, which is much harder than you would expect. Overall a great class! Perfect if you already work out.

Very good class, you get to learn all the major muscles and you have every machine at your disposal to use for weight training. He will give you some assignments here and there, make sure you know the muscles and what exercise uses which muscles. We get to go outside for some cardio workouts sometimes and he will make it fun. Take it this class.

I took the class knowing absolutely nothing about table tennis. Now I can say that I am doing better then a beginner. It is a nice class to introduce yourself to table tennis. Make sure to attend every class. There is usually many people that take the class half beginners and half inter/advanced. You practice in class all the time. Take the class.

He is a good teacher

I always assumed table tennis was simple hitting a ball with a paddle, however I learned so many techniques that I have brought home to show my family, allowing us to play fun but continuous games.

Great Professor, made class fun and good at teaching ping pong. He made ping pong interesting and actually helped me play much better.

Super nice and enthusiastic teacher! He makes this class very beginner friendly. Just make sure to attend class

This professor is extremely nice, easy, and approachable. He is very fast and skilled player in Table Tennis. I love playing with him even though he always loses.

Professor Norman Pratt is really nice and understanding! I would highly recommend anyone to take his class for anything whether it be basketball, badminton, table tennis, etc. All you need to do is show up and you will pass with an A.

kind teacher that gives you good feedback and really teach you the core of the course.

great teacher, willing to take him again

As someone who rarely exercised, the class seemed difficult at first. But he constantly pushes you and soon enough the walks weren't a dread. He makes class fun and everyday is a different route, so you don't get bored! He also provides extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

-I has been playing tennis for years. There are a lot of things being taught by Coach Norman Pratt in class that I didn't know before such as the important of stretch or warm up. Or how to do a simple serve or exercise your feet prior to really playing the game, this is to avoid injury. Avoid injuy to me is the most important key. Thanks, Anthony

Professor Randy Norman Pratt is very nice and easy . He is my favorite teacher . He had taught me how to played table tennis . He always makes our lesson interesting and lively. He make lessons easy to students . Very happy to have him this year .

A GOOD PROFESSOR WHO IS WILLING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND GIVES GOOD ADVICE HELPS YOU MAKE EXCERSICEING MORE FUN

Mr. Pratt is methodical in his class by focusing both on teaching technical aspects of badminton as well as making sure development of an individual

Great instructor that oozes passion for his job. His badminton class offers inclusivity where everyone at some point plays together or against each other in single or doubles play. He lectures before and during warm up and offers lots of play time. He is also great a managing people at different levels and gives great feedback.

A great teacher with a lot of patience. He will make sure you improve your skills by the end of each class.

He is very nice and hard working. He helps us review the movements and gives good feedback.

Randy is seriously one of the best instructors at EVC. I took him last semester for intro to weight lifting and learned a lot. I had to take another PE course to be UC eligible so I decided on taking Badminton or PED009A. I didn't know what to expect but being almost done with the semester I have learned a ton and will continue playing! It's fun!

He is a great teacher. Giving us a lots of skills and exxperiences. Well trained, spectacular experiences,... To be honest, he is the easiest teacher to get credits, skills, and joyful.:)

awesome instructor, really understanding and just all around very kind

I feel very comfortable with his class. He always takes care all students in class. It is not stressful in his class. I don't want to miss any lesson, so I am always eager to attend his class. If I have a chance, I will take his class again.

He is a good instructor. He is so friendly, supportive and professional.

He is a great, and friendly instructor to have. He actually teaches us badminton techniques and encourages us to use those techniques all the time on the court. So far this is a fun and enjoyable class.

He is a awesome professors, very nice and respected.

Norman Pratt is a really great instructor! He teaches techniques and skills clearly and makes the class really fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Great teacher !

Amazing teacher! Easy to get an A for this class

I would definitely recommend taking Professor Pratt he shows you that he's willing to help you in your weak areas and shows you how you can improve yourself. He aims for the weak spots which I believed helped me a lot! I would definitely take a class of his again GREAT PROFESSOR!

Mr. Pratt is very enthusiastic and does his best to help students learn about badminton.

Great fun class!!!

Really great man and is passionate about what he does and is good at it as well---demonstrates his abilities and provides great feedback so you can trust him to make you better at whatever sport you take his class for. Always upbeat and positive and brings a good atmosphere about the class. Sat here and thought about negatives for this review; none

I had Coach Pratt for Ping Pong. At first I didnt expect much from the class but Coach Pratt made the whole class experience a lot better. He was very passionate and made the learning process of ping pong a lot more enjoyable. All you have to do is show up to class 10/10 would take again

Amazing teacher. He is a blessing for evergreen college. He is very respected person. He is very helpful and caring. I will definitely recommend taking this teacher. Easy to get an A for this class.

He is a great teacher, one of my favorite out of all my classes. You can tell he really cares about the students. Would take his class again. I didn't think i would enjoy badminton as much as i did, but he really makes the class fun. Definitely would take him again.

He's an amazing teacher and he shows his respect to everyone in class. He spends time to every person who do not play well. I'd like to take his class again.

A great teachers to take a PE course with. As long as you show up regularly and show that you're trying you should definitely get an A

I took Mr. Pratt for both intermediate tennis and beginning table tennis. He makes class enjoyable & the sport easy to learn. I highly recommend taking him.

Professor Pratt is great and I encourage you to sign up for his hiking course! He gives valuable information about hiking and safety. I joined him on the summer class hiking in Yosemite National Park. It was an eye opening experience. He was very considerate and patient with less experienced hikers. He's a very easy guy to be around. Great guy!!!!

Prof Pratt is an amazing professor. He's inspirational. I love outdoor activites because of him. Just take all of his classes. its fun and so much to learn. Classmates are cool too. I would take him again, Top professors at EVC

Thanks for providing us the amazing adventure we ever have had with care and educated. I am not really an outdoor adventure fan, but we received lot spirit and the best guidance from Randy. I realy am enjoyed the class from day one till the end and we wish to have more and more great adventure again with Randy with new exploring trip. Thanks Randy.

Mr. Pratt is very nice and professional professor. I really enjoy his course. He really love his student and has a passion in teaching. I studied his class for 3 years and still keep registering. Highly recommend him.

This class is called paddle sports, but we mainly learned to kayak. There is 2 1-day trips and 1 3-days trip, all the trips were really fun and a great workout. Professor Randy is very passionate and caring toward his students, he makes sure we are safe and accommodating to those who are beginners at kayaking. I recommend anyone to take this class

This class is called Paddle Sport but we learned to kayak. There's 2 1-day trips and 1 3-days trip, and those trips were fun and a great workout. Prof Randy is an excellent physical ed instructor, caring and accommodating toward his students. I recommend anyone to take his outdoor classes. I hope this class will expand to other water sport like SUP

Mr. Pratt is a special professor. He is very nice and friendly. This is the first time I select his outdoor activity class and I'm so surprise that it is very fun and I learned a lot of things. I would take his class again in the next semester. Thank you so much, Mr. Pratt.

I was hesitant to take a PE class at first, but Im glad I went through with it! He's a great professor that really helps you out and motivates you; I really enjoyed the class. The atmosphere of the class is really friendly and he's very kind. I loved the class, and look forward to taking classes with him in the upcoming semester as well!

Norman Pratt has been one of the best teachers I have had so far. With his experience in the field and his inspirational lead, made the students discover their own capabilities and he encouraged us to do more. We enjoy a very nice, fun, relaxing and at the same time we learned very useful skills, and tips to practice kayaking in a fun and safe way.

This kayaking class has 3 trips and a short reflection. We went to Alviso Marina and Bair Is. @ RC for day trips and Calaveras Big Tree for 2 nights trip. Take P/NP if you can't make all days. Prof Randy is experienced, inspirational, responsible and passionate in the field. His outdoor program is the best in Bay Area and a MUST TAKE! Thanks Randy!

Taking the kayaking field experience with professor Randy was really enjoyable, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend this class with him. I urge everyone to take a class with professor Randy! There are several other Kins and outdoor education courses offered with professor Randy, and I hope to take several for the next semester.

If you are looking for a class that removes you from the traditional classroom setting this class is the perfect one. I have learned to love and enjoy a new sport and my overall physical strength. This class has motivated me to be more active and spend more time outdoors. I highly recommend this class!

I took his beginning kayaking class at Ohlone. I'm a beginner in kayaking but I felt that I've improved enough to go kayaking to other places. Hopefully there'll be more classes like these at Ohlone. I'm already anticipating to take his grappling class later in the year.

Randy's classes are very inclusive no matter what the level. He gets to know everyone by name and he teaches by giving instruction and then just letting us play. The kayaking and camping trip offered at Ohlone was just amazing. We kayak at night under the stars. Absolutely beautiful and something that I would have never done on my own.

Best teacher at EVC I highly recommended taking his class and guarantee passing if you just show up to class.

Taking a class with Randy Pratt you're guaranteed 2 things. you will have fun and you will learn life lessons which will serve you well throughout your life. I learned how to safely kayak and back pack/hike.

I took the KINS 089 Paddle Sports this summer. It was an amazing experience. Professor Pratt organized the class very well. We got to go to different places to kayak and explore. Everything was provided for, boats, oars, etc. The class also included a camping trip. It was a really good class for people who enjoy outdoors activites.

A chill teacher, most lectures consist of things involving the sports industry today, reading the textbook will help alot but as long as you stay on track you'll get a good grade. Non-stress class and is part of GE, recommended +

I took this class at Ohlone this summer and it was an remarkable experience. Randy is very knowledgable instructor whom I really enjoyed learning from. I highly recommend this - you will learn a lot and the camping trip is amazing! I'm definitely inspired to explore more lakes around CA because of this class.

Took the kayaking class over the summer and glad I did. The professor is always prepared and accommodates all levels; he gives pro tips that improve my skills. The kayaking class was a great way to work out, have fun, and visit new places. Love these outdoor classes!

I'm not really an outdoors person but after taking Randy's kayaking class I feel very encouraged to be one. Randy made my kayaking experience very fun and exciting. He is very clear when in comes to giving instructions as well as very experienced in what he does. I highly recommend taking his classes !

I don't think a simple review can accurately sum up how amazing Randy's class is. First of all, it is physically heavy if you aren't in shape and even then it's taxing. However, I think the most amazing part of his course is being able to observe nature with wonderful people. If you're on the fence on taking any of his classes do not hesitate!

Professor Pratt is one-of-a-kind. I took kayaking/paddle sports with him, as well as badminton. He is very knowledgeable, and passes that knowledge onto students, meeting them at whatever level they are at. I an experienced Kayak-er, but when it came to badminton, I was a true novice. He taught me skills without making me feel intimidated.

I took KINS 033 -Professor Norman Pratt - last semester. He is an amazing teacher, amazing lectures and I would definitely take him again if I could for next semester . Highly recommended!!!

I chose this class because I liked its weekend schedule. Professor Pratt is such an awesome instructor. He is hard-working and really cares for his students. He is a humble person but very inspirational. I was very happy I chose his Paddle Sport class this semester.

Taking one of Randys classes is always guaranteed fun. We kayaked through some beautiful places, but the company is always the hilight of the trip. You meet great people in these classes. Randy gives great feedback and encouragement without being pushy. If you have a chance to take one of his classes definitely go for it!

Randy Pratt is a person who inspires and guides the students with his character, experience and natural leadership skills, to develop themselves the best of them. I truly appreciate all his help, i am a better person thanks to him.

Prof. Randy is one of the best professors Ive had. He pushes his students to go beyond their comfort zone because he knows they can achieve more. I would highly recommend this professor.

Super dope teacher, very mellow and easy to access! I am personally not super outdoors-y nor have I ever camped before, BUT it was a really unique and honestly eye opening experience. With activities like this it's always hardest to get started bc you want to know where to go and what not. Randy defiantly created a new backpackers in me!(: DO IT!

By far one of the best professor i have had so far. He is very knowledgeable, skillful, and respectful. I would defiantly be taking some of the other course he teaches. he provides the basic information and more that is need to get you started with hiking and backpacking if you have no idea of what is required of those activities. MUST TAKE COURSE

must take all of his outdoor classes. Mr. Randy is one of my best professor I have had. He is caring and respected. He also is super nice and patient. He answers all the questions. The class was fun. We went to beautiful places. I love the camping days. It was so fun. We also hiked at night time. OMG, the most beautiful sky I've ever seen.

I have taken two of Randy Pratt's classes and he is truly an inspirational instructor! He is very accommodating and always makes sure that everyone is safe during the hiking adventures. He is very knowledgeable about the outdoors and I learned a lot about survival in the wilderness. I would definitely recommend his classes to everyone!

Taking a Randy Pratt class is like eating a potato chip. You just can't have one. You start off with one class and then it leads you to try another. Although this is the only time I am sad that I can't just keep repeating his hiking/camping classes, but at least I know there will be other types of outdoor classes to look forward to.

Mr. Pratt is truly inspirational and he genuinely cares for his students. I would recommend his class to everyone who wants to have fun and learn the survival skill in the wilderness. I will like to venture to his other classes, such as Rock Climbing and Kayaking.

Take his class and you will have fun, get a good workout and learn life lessons which you will remember the rest of your days. By taking this class you will be exposed to the wonder of the great outdoors. Be prepared to experience the beauty of mountains, lakes and stars if you take this class.

Would definitely take his courses again

Randy is a good teacher who cares about his students and provides knowledgeable tips during the hikes on what to do. The hikes and camping site was fun there was a good scenery and it also good way to get health and active.

Very informative, helpful tips for hiking. Class should be available at other colleges. All my friends who learn about this class are interested in taking it.

Randy teaches useful tips about safety and how to be prepared when being outdoors. He gives itinerary of hikes in advance, and is accommodating as long as students speak up. Class is mostly hiking, and one camping trip at the final weekend. This class helps you build endurance, so don't expect slow strolls.

Great class if you love the outdoors. Very informative. Amazing teacher. My class expirience was awesome.

I've taken 3 classes with Randy and honestly, he's a great professor. Very knowledgeable about the outdoors and very easy to talk to. Even after leaving EVC and graduating from university, I continued to take his class for fun. Take the hiking class so you can go out and see the outdoors! Plus the weekend trip is always such a blast. Thanks Randy!

He is very knowledgable and athletic person. He is very patient as well when it comes to answering questions. I would definitely recommend him if you are planning to take any fitness or PE class.

He is very amazing teacher. He always give us feedback. i really enjoyed my hiking class.

Randy's classes are great! They take you literally out of the classroom and put you in amazing hands-on and unique outdoor experiences. Also, the collaboration between all the students and Randy is like no other class you can take. You gain so much new knowledge about outdoor skills and even something new about yourself.

Randy offers a lifetime of knowledge of outdoor adventure and it really showed in this class. Being able to take a class like this at a college was an invaluable experience. I highly recommend taking any of Randy's classes. You truly gain a newfound appreciation for nature through his eyes and I came out of the class a more confident individual.

(Rock Climbing) First few weeks is the lecture component - we learned the basics, climbing techniques, how to belay, and getting to know one another. Once we got comfortable, we got hands on outdoor climbing experience at the YMCA, The Studio in DTSJ, and Castle Rock! Randy is a great motivator, communicator and overall instructor! Highly recommend

Best PE professor ever. I attend his classes every semester. I have to. I love all of his courses

The rock climbing class was very fun and exciting! Randy was very knowledgeable and helpful when explaining the different techniques used to climb. I look forward to taking more of his classes and hope EVC decides to one day build their own climbing gym.

Randy is an excellent professor! The rock climbing class was awesome. All the climbing equipment was provided by Randy so you dont have to worry about anything but having fun. He is very knowledgeable about rock climbing and anything to do with the outdoors. Ill definitely continue to take more of Randys class.

I have learnt to be more believable on myself on things i can do. This class gave me physically and mentally practise. The class was fun and i made friends also.

Randy was a fantastic badminton teacher. I believe that I have improved dramatically after taking his class while having a ton of fun in the process. I would definitely recommend.

Randy is a great professor! I took a beginning Tennis class. It was my first time to play. I had so much fun. He explained very well. I recommend it highly!

I'm glad I was able to take another one of Randy's classes, he is a really great badminton teacher. I felt I improved a lot over the semester. I would definitely be signing up for another one of his classes.

Randy is a good professor. He cares about every student of his. This is my first choice of tennis class and I am very happy in this class. In his class you will learn a lot about tennis and will be happy to play. I highly recommend this professor!

The following comment is written by me, I chose the wrong course code.

The instructor is a very good instructor that I have meet, and his class is very nice and teaching well, I have learned much skill in tennis since I have taken this class. I would like take his course again because he teaching well and class is good.

It's my first time taking weekend PE class, and I'm so glad to meet this such a patient instructor. I've learned a lot in the badminton class. Highly recommended!!!

I took Randy's tennis class this fall semester and he was really nice. He showed us the basics of how to play tennis and helped us develop further from that. He didn't make us do a lot of running/conditioning, it was more focused on getting down the basics of tennis. It was a really fun class and I would take a class with him again

I took Randy's badminton class this fall semester and he was really nice. He is a good teacher. I think you are better when you got his class.

I took my last class this fail which is KINS 009. The professor are really nice and helpful. I am a beginner in Badminton, but after the class, I think I can control some of the skills of badminton. Very useful and funny class.

I had so much fun and learned a lot how to be a good player at badminton.

Randy is an amazing coach ever. He is very friendly and professional. He not only teaches you technique, but also gives you feedback right away during practice. He respects every students and treat everyone equally. I have learned many strategies from him. After practicing, I have become more confident while playing over net now. It is a fun class.

He helped me improved a lot in tennis. I am planning to take another class of his next semester!

I had a fun time in his class. He gives helpful tips on how to be a better tennis player and is very knowlegable about the sport.

As long as you attend the class, you will get A

This class is fun for beginners,that just want to try the game of tennis out and learn the basics,just for recreational purposes. As for intermediate players that want to jump back into playing tennis again,it's a good start,but if you are looking for competition,probably won't be your cup of tea. But if lucky enough you can find players your level

Professor Randy is a great teacher. Paddle Sports is the 2nd class I take with him & not the last! In this class & Hiking/Backpacking, he was very thorough in his explanations, enthusiastic about his subject matter, & always professional. I felt secure while on the trips & confident in his ability to guide us. I learned a lot & gained confidence.

Randy was a great instructor! He conducted our first class with kayaks and no water to allow us to familiarize ourselves w/ the equipment. We learned different strokes and had plenty of opportunity to practice with a weekend long trip and a few other outings. This class was unique as we were off campus, and was only 6 weeks long. Great class!

This rock climbing class was phenomenal! All the gear was provided; we had solid instruction on knot-tying, safety and security, very important when you are high up and afraid of heights!; and the best strategies for climbing effectively, useful when you're stuck but want to keep climbing. Best class for rock climbing on a budget!

I love the outdoors and have been camping for many years. Professor Pratt emphasizes on preparation and safety, with items like his 10 essentials for hiking, and made the hikes educational and fun. Professor Pratt is very knowledgeable on the outdoors and kept the group highly motivated! I would highly recommend taking his classes if you can.

Good professor, amazing lecture.

I have taken the hiking class with Pratt. He is a kind and helpful professor. He is a knowledgeable outdoor expert. Being outdoors with him I do not only feel safe but also incredible. He emphasizes on well preparing for an adventure and makes sure everyone is on the same pages. I highly recommend EVC student to take PE class with him.

We hiked Falls Creek and camped at Death Valley during Intersession. Mr. Randy is very well prepared for the trips and he provides expert guidance to everyone in the group. He takes you to great destinations and the overall experience was amazing. We learned a lot and also made a lot of good memories. Definitely would take his class again!

We did hiking in Santa Cruz & Death valley. This class was really fun & adventurous! I made new friends & had the opportunity to try something I hadn't done before which was camping. Randy was very knowledgeable on all the trails & gave us tips to ensure our safety. I would definitely recommend this class if you like hiking or want to explore! :)

If you are looking to find who you are as a person and want to push your limits and experience life and spend time outdoors while being informed about your surroundings. I look forward to going to his class. You will be excited to stay in shape and be able to enjoy the outdoors more and travel and be more confident in your decisions as a hiker.

I would recommend to everyone to take his class if you enjoy the outdoor activities. Death Valley trip was amazing !!! He provided life lessons that you will not learn from any other classes.

Randy is one of those gems that are rare in the academic field. Hes honestly a great human being and that transfers over to his classes. Just take his course if you have the chance!

Randy is an amazing professor. You will learn a lot about being safe outdoors the camping trip and hiking at Death Valley was very fun and something i would recommend for others to participate in.

Randy is the best P.E professor !!!

Randy is a great professor, I took him for the Death Valley hiking trip and I really enjoyed it. He definitely know the definition of "adventure".

Randy is a remarkable instructor all of his classes are so much fun. The hiking trip to Death Valley was an amazing experience which Im glad I was able to participate. I would highly recommend taking this and any other class that Randy teaches.

Professor Pratt is the best. I would take all of his outdoor classes again and again

Randy was a good teacher. He Would sometimes contradict himself by telling us to stay on trail then going off trail but other than that he was a very good teacher. We were a very large class and he did a really good job handling everybody. I would take him again.

Very nice professor. Interesting outdoor class. Have many interesting stories to tell. Also very knowledgeable about the outdoor environment.

Professor Pratt is one of the most amazing PE professor/ coach I ever knew. I took his hiking class to fulfill my PE requirement, and I had a blast. Furthermore, I have never hike before, and Professor Pratt makes the class enjoyable and interesting. Overall, if you have never hike before, I highly recommend Professor Pratt's KINS0087A class.

Randy is a great professor. Outdoor class is interesting. Hiking helps me know more about community, so I recommend everyone taking all of Randy Professor classes.

RANDY PRATT is a truly inspirational teacher that makes us enjoy adn discover nature in a healthy way and promoting this as a way of a balanced, peaceful and rewarding activity for life

Professor Pratt was the inspiration behind my obsession with the outdoors. I have taken 4 classes with him, including hiking, kayaking, and rock climbing. Besides skills, we learned to trust and respect; in ourselves, my our partners, and the environment. I look forward to many more classes with prof. Pratt.

what I like more of Professor Randy is that he has experience and knowledge of outdoors activities, for my class that was Rock Climbing, he was always checking that everything is ok before to start. Also It's a plus that we could go in-door climbing for practice at no cost, and get confident before going to the real outdoor experience.

His hiking class was very straightforward, we just showed up to the destination and started hiking. He always made sure everyone was accounted for. Great class if you love hiking.

This class is a great way to get out of your comfort zone. You meet new people and explore new places. I would say the only issue is finding a ride if you dont drive. Also if youre not that active, some of the hikes might be hard, just know your limitations before taking the class. All in all, I had a highly recommend the class.

Pratt is genuinely one of the greatest instructors they have at EVC. This class was amazing and Randy really knew his stuff. Very easy class, just show up to the trailhead and start your hike. Definitely will take more hiking classes with him in the future.

Mr. Randy is probably one of the nicest professors at EVC. This hiking class was an amazing chance for me to get out to nature and explore the worlds. I always felt safe and comfortable since Mr. Randy is a very knowledgeable instructor, he knows well about the trails. The last hike at Lake Tahoe was intense but inspiring and memorable.

This class is a great opportunity to go on adventures with new group of friends at some beautiful sites. Some of the trails and hikes can be difficult, but the view at the end was well worth it! Overall, Pratt is very knowledgeable on the hikes you take and has great stories to tell once you get to know him.

This class was surprisingly the best PE class ever. I recommend everyone take it rather than take that other boring PE class you probably didn't care anyway to take. All that is required is a little participation and the desire to experience nature off campus. Mr. Pratt knows the out doors and knows how to make it fun and interesting.

I really loved this class. People who want to get pe credit but want to have fun should pick this class!!! 11/10 I'm actually thinking of joining another hiking class next semester! Thank you Randy for such a wonderful time!

Randy Pratt has taught me how to be more prepared and safe in an outdoor environment. This class not only increased my endurance, but it expanded my love for hiking and nature. If you want something different and adventurous, I highly recommend taking one of Randy's classes. It has led me to make amazing friends and memories.

Professor Pratt is a wonderful instructor. I cant wait for his class because it was so much fun. I started playing badminton from last September, so I didnt play well, but he taught me how to do it with smile. I really appreciate his attitude toward every student. Im sure that I would take his class next semester.

The coach is professional. We learn much with himHe is also a nice personWe get along so well.

He is a very nice person and he cares about his students. He wants his students to have fun and relax in his class which we did and i enjoyed his class very much. You only need to be present and participate in order to pass the class/to get a good grade. Overall, very recommended for his class.

Great badminton class for all levels, everyone gets to play!! Singles/doubles and he changes up all different level players so beginners can get a good sense of what different levels are like. It is also fun to see the improvements made by beginners by the end of the class. Another positive aspect is meeting new people. A must take.

Hiking and backpacking was such an awesome experience. Our hikes were every Saturday and what better way to experience our national parks with a teacher at EVC who knows all about the trails and sights to see. This class is such an awesome class because youre getting credit to hike. The final was a camping trip to Tahoe which was super cool.

I am taking the badminton class with Professor Norman Pratt this semester, and this is the first time for me to play badminton seriously. I worried about my performance at the early beginning of the semester, but it turns out to be an enjoyable activity! And this is the only class that I have been waiting for every week! Want to retake it!

Escalante & Zion are breathtaking. The class is titled Adventure Based Outdoor Rec. And what an adventure it was! The outdoors challenges you mentally and physically. Randy classes can push you to your limit but he is also able to scale back based on the group dynamics and let you zen. Take his class to learn about yourself and meet new people.

I have taken two courses with Professor Pratt( Randy) and both have been inspirational experiences. Being in the outdoors and learning in a hands on manner is something that is often overlooked in our technology driven lives. I would recommend Professor Pratt to any outdoor enthusiasts and even to novices who want to learn about the outdoors.

Mr. Pratt is a great teacher, his class is so inspirational. Amazing class!!!!

I took a hiking class with Professor Pratt last spring and enjoyed it so much that I signed up for his 2018 summer Adventure Based Recreation class. I was able to experience such breathtaking trails (literally)! I also learned a lot about how to be safe and prepared when hiking. I highly recommend this class for those enjoy spending time outdoors.

Awesome Teacher, Amazing Class, no matter his Hiking, Kayaking, And RockClimbing Classes. Pure Fun and experiences

Randy was a great teacher! I took his hiking class and it was amazing and we saw things that we wouldn't see in a million years. Randy was very caring and is knowledgeable in hiking and the well being of others. Would definitely take him again, great experience.

good professor

Mr. Pratt is an awesome badminton teacher! He provides clear instructions on the fundamentals and forms of playing badminton, and provides instant feedback if your form is lacking. Every class meeting he brings his good energy and good vibes all around so the sense of pressure or intimidation is nonexistent! Overall, fun coach for a fun class!

I am really enjoying the PED009A course. This course is fun and relax. Mr. Pratt is very caring. He shows students all the rules and poses to help improve and practice Badminton. He puts students together for games, and then, he will join the games in order to demonstrate for students. After this course, I have improved a lot and have more friends.

I took a badminton class and it definitely fun! He is a kind of teacher caring and helping students. If you don't know the rule, he will play with you and teach you at the same time. He also encourages us to practice more.

Pratt's class makes you not want to miss the class at all, pretty fun/ enjoyable, made some friends. Although it is badminton "intermediate," he divided the class into 2, where "beginners" goes on the left court while the more experienced are on the right but students get to choose where they wanna. I gotta say I love the challenges while playing.

Pratt is a great instructor I ever had. He taught us about positions in badminton and it is really helpful to learn .

Randy was a great coach during badminton. He really ensure you understand the different techniques when you are playing, and gives great feedback.

Prof Norman is a great caring Prof at EVC. All you need to do is showing up at class and practice playing Badminton with your partner and you will pass with an easy A. Definitely will take his class again to fulfill PE section.

Norman is a well-respected professor. You can learn many things from a book but not from physical adventures like in Norman's class. The students have physical challenges but also learn about teamwork, appreciate nature, and how to protect the environment and wildlife. Norman's classes are unique and special; they supported the communities.
