My cutest and least intelligent professor. She's new. Routinely misinforms when asked simple "common-knowledge" type questions by less-gifted students during lecture. Very little workload for this class. Looks great in her completely inappropriate for a professor tight little outfits. Needs to grow^

Very knowledgable and friendly.The homework wasn't over the top and test where fair. Keep up the good work.
This teacher was medicore. She was friendly and understanding. Sometimes wasn't clear when homework assignments or certain things were due. But overall it was an okay class.

Great teacher, really nice and outgoing. Makes the class more tolerable since it's a fairly easy subject and easy to get distracted. The midterm project was a little sketchy to understand, but overall she was a great teacher.
This teacher is really friendly, but worry about her accuracy. She says things that are not really true, or that are questionably true. I would not take her again.
She is very knowledgable and I enjoy he class.
she seemed kind of snotty :(
She seemed to have a lack of intrest in her students comments/input and came across as a bit stuck up. On the flip side, she did have alot of intresting material and learned a lot in her class.
Took Online. Easy A. Just do the weekly labs and when it comes to tests just keep your book handy. She seemed very nice also. The subject and how she presented it made me think more about my lifestyle and habits, so I would say the class is worth your while.
She was an okay teacher. She had interesting data, but I didn't like how she taught the class. I didn't learn too much that I didn't already know.
She was helpful, easy, and I found her classes enjoyable and not stressful at all.
I really did not like this class. It was all in all boring and I did not learn a lot that I did not already know. Her quizzes were pointless and really irritating
Easy A if you show up and do the weekly labs.
If you sign up for an aerobics class at Chemeketa be prepared, almost all the teachers but Raschel are lazy and incompetent. If you actually want to loose weight then she is the best by far!
Easy class if you just do the work. There is a lab each week that can take some time but is never difficult. The test are okay, just make sure to do the study guide and you will be fine. Very nice person who really wants every one to be healthy.
I took her Community Health class online. This class was very organized and well laid out. She is reasonable with deadlines and helpful if you let her know about a problem. I found some of the test questions vague, but she was open to feedback on them.
larsen lives what she teaches, give good expinations and has a true belief in the lessons.
Melissa was very knowledgeable about Womens Health Issues, she was very helpful. I would and have recommend this class to other people.
At first your like who is this spaz teaching health, but thats just her first day jitters. Later you realize she practices what she preaches.
Melissa is such a great professor who knows her stuff. She is very well organized and is really reasonable. I definitely recommend her class.
I took her step and sculpt class and loved it! She is very energetic and fun so it made the class enjoyable. Workouts were fun...even though they were a workout. Extremely helpful. I would defintely reccommend her to anyone wanting to take a PE class!
I loved Melissa as a professor! She is really passionate about the subject she is teaching and extremely reasonable and organized! I would recommend her to anybody! Thank you Melissa!
She is very knowledgable and loves what she does. Does come off as a little stuck up. I took aerobics with her. It was good, however, it was a little annoying listening to her stories.
I took this online and I really enjoyed her class. I learned something new each week and if I had any questions she was pretty quick to get back to me. If you do the work and apply yourself there is no reason you can't get an A.
I took her total core aerobics class and i really enjoyed it! she is very entergetic which is awesome because she makes you want to work out
She is awesome! I learned a lot in her class, and the reason I rated her as easy, is because she makes it easy to succeed in her class. :) Love that woman!
GREAT as an aerobics instructor. Super energetic. However, her health class is absolutely brutal with work load. If you want 3 chapters of reading, 1,000 word essays and then some due every week, be warned...
She is awesome! Super nice, VERY knowledgeable, she is fair, helpful, and honest. Class is easy to pass if you put in some effort. Took away a lot from this class, and would take any class of hers.
I took Total Body Training Summer Term so it was 2 hours long and Raschel (Melissa) work my butt off every class! I loved it, I loved her energy, her never ending supply of encouragement and tough, tough workouts. I know I can do anything now and I'm taking the class again next term! She rocks!
I took community health online. I loved the class. She was very organized, despite switching textbooks right after giving birth. She's very clear about her expectations, but also flexible and enthusiastic. I would definitely take her again!
She seemed a little spacey and disorganized. Often times when she was asked a question she would respond with "I don't know" she is nice and the class is easy but, she can be unknowledgeable most of the time.
Intersting class. Instructor seemed to care about the students. She is friendly and understanding. I enjoyed this class.
I took her for HPE 295 Winter term 2013. She was an amazing teacher for that class so I figured she would teach a great workout class. I'm not a huge fan of working out but she has made the class super fun and I enjoy going every day even if I'm tired and sore the next day. I would definitely recommend Total Body Fitness to everybody.
She is absolutely a great teacher. There is busy work- labs to do once a week, but they are super easy. Just do all the work and reviews and you should be just fine. Plus there are opportunities for extra credit. I would recommend her!! :)
Great teacher! Very clear assignments and give lots of opportunities to make up homework or extra credit. BE prepared to do lots of homework and assignments that include many many essays and discussions with classmates :)
She is a GREAT teacher! I've taken her health class and her Cardio blast class. She is real reasonable when it comes to grading, just do the homework, study moderately, and you should be in great shape. I loved Cardio blast with her! You can miss 3 days and still have an A, and she was real enthusiastic. LOVED IT!
I have not been in school for 35 yrs. So FAll 2013 was my 1st term. I was concerned when I realized that my sister-in-law had signed me up for a 200 series class. I love this class. My instructor gave us all the info that we needed to pass this class. I actually liked homework because I learned so much. I recommend this class to all women
The instructor is very nice, but the quizes are bad. There were many times that I found one answer in the "textbook" and another answer in her lecture notes. There were also questions that no answer could be found anywhere so if you try to choose the best option, it would be wrong. I got an "A" but it was not an "easy A".
One of the most organized online classes I've taken. She accepts all late work for half-credit. Seems like a very nice person. Not a difficult class, but there are weekly assignments that pile up.
Meh. Lots of questions for hw, pretty common sense questions on tests. Required class to transfer... So what can you do.
She was nice and helpful. The quizzes were confusing, but I emailed her with my concerns and she changed my grade. I didn't like the textbook as it was very biased, and for a health class I thought it was too political and discussed social issues too much. As a teacher though I thought she was great, just didn't love the content of the class.
Much too much work for the credits applied in this class. Each week required reading 1-2 chapters of material which was dry and full of stats. Then the homework took at least 2 hours and was overly complex. There are additional papers require, discussion, and quizzes on top of all that. I've never done so much work for a 3 credit online class
very easy A
She's super sweet and clearly loves what she does. If you do the assignments and show up to class, you'll pass. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Easy to do, just a couple assignments a week and the reading isn't really needed. Also, she e-mails reminders on due-dates frequently which is helpful.
Took this as a required class and it was a pretty easy course. Raschel is good about answering questions, but you have to email her (don't use the discussion board she has). No midterm, no final, and all the weekly test answers came straight from the book. Pretty straight forward class, though could have been organized a little better.
If you do the homework and show up there is no reason why you wouldn't pass the class. We only had a midterm and final and there were no other tests/quizzes. We also watched two films in class. She does a very good job of answering questions and even when she does not know the answer she does her research and answers it in the next class meeting.
She does not email you back in a timely manner. She is a very understanding instructor.
Raschel is a very nice, caring professor! I took it online, and whenever I had questions, I emailed her, and she responded quickly. She lets you turn in one assignment late for no deduction. One short quiz, discussion, and assignment per week with no midterm or final. Learned so much from this class, and am really happy I took it!!!
She is a very kind woman, but she DOES not reply to emails. I had to wait until the very end of the term to get feedback from her, she does not respond. Also, if you actually have a life, don't take this class. The workload is ridiculous for one stupid lab.
This class requires a ton of reading and the workload is a bit heavy for a 3-credit course. However, the material is very engaging and she truly cares about her students. She encourages feedback and suggestions from students without taking criticism personally. Assignments aren't too difficult and there is extra credit. She's very approachable.
She is a wonderful instructor and very thorough with her lessons. I have taken two of her courses and I highly recommend her. She is very responsive to e-mails and I have did not have any issues.
Took HE 213. I didin't even bother with the book, and got an A+, but im studying to go in for Gynecology and my mother is an OBGYN, so my knowledge on woman's health is already pretty extensive. If you know about woman's health previously you will do fine, otherwise its a lot of reading. Interesting class, she's a wonderful instructor!
I took this class online and enjoyed it. There was a bit of reading and workload, but it is manageable and not too hard. The material was interesting and I learned a lot. She was very thorough with her lessons and they were easy to follow. Overall, wonderful instructor and I highly recommend.
A fairly good choice for easy online class. I did have to use the book and do a bit of reading, as quiz and assignments have to do with info in the book. She sent out lots of reminder emails for assignments and was so friendly! Class didn't have any exams which was great, just quizzes/assignments/discussions. I would highly recommend.
Her class is really good. She makes the content of the course entertaining and I like her positive vibe. There's an assignment every week which could be very time consuming but they're not that hard.
BEST online class I've ever taken. The professor gives great feedback and grades well and on time. All deadlines are clear.
Easy class. There is no final exam. Just 1 a week assignments, discussion and quiz. She gives feedback, sends reminders. The assignments are mostly just personal opinions and self development. Super easy class to get credit. Would definitely recommend.
I enjoyed this class. As long as you do you work, you can get a good grade. Feedback was amazing and clear. There was extra credit available as well.
I took her online Women's Studies class. Every week she had us open 1 discussion thread and answer to 2 threads from our peers, we had to do some reading each week not too heavy, and watched/listened to her short lecture clips. Each week had one assignment and one quiz. Accepts late work and offers extra credit. Awesome class!
Great class! Per week you must complete 1 assignment, 1 discussion and 2 responses, and 1 quiz. If you do the reading and stay on deadlines you will succeed. She also emails reminders before things are due and accepts late assignments. She also offers extra credit and gives good feedback on assignments.
Yeah you'll have a weekly assignment, but it's pretty easy. She's a fun caring person who does give you feedback on your assignments. She makes her class fun and tries answering questions as best as she can. Notes aren't necessary as everything for the hw can be found in the book. If you're looking for an easy A she's the person for you.
Ms. Larsen is quite nice and a caring professor. She is a stereotypical motherly figure. Her class is easy and not that interesting. She often puts these cheesy motivational quotes on her slides that were cringe-y. Don't expect a Harvard course on health but if you just want the credit like I did, then you can do worse.
Raschel was amazing! Each week there was reading and a short lecture to watch from her. Discussion posts and assignments are clear and straightforward. If you turn things in on time and do your best, your grade will be fine. Topics have a wide variety, and are really fun to learn about.
Easy A. Great Prof
Eaaasy A. Raschel is great.
Raschel is great and would definitely take all of her classes again. Class layout is very clear and easy to navigate, weekly homework that is easy. If you put a little effort into this class, you will pass. Definitely recommend.
This class was pretty easy, just do the reading and the quizzes were just fine. The only issue I had was that the textbook was written by her and seemed a little bit all over the place. Also, getting rid of the textbook once the class is over has proven to be impossible because they don't buy the book back.
I have yet to find a professor who wrote a textbook themselves that's actually decent. Per usual, the textbook is riddled with opinions and even incorrect statistics. I swear professors write textbooks just to stroke their own ego-- not share knowledge. Must participate to pass this class. Quiz questions are specific to the textbook. Boring.
Super easy and fun to take.
I loved this class. Super easy but so informative and actually fun. This professor is ACTUALLY organized and helpful which was a breath of fresh air because some other teachers are all over the place. She is passionate about the material. You do have to participate but I always looked forward to this class each week. TAKE THIS CLASS you wont regret
From my experience with this professor, I could say that her class format is well organized. She requires 150 minutes of exercise throughout the week and a few discussions but it is definitely an easy A. If you are taking any PE class as a filler I would recommend this professor. She responds to emails quickly and has clear grading criteria. 10/10.
Took this class as an elective and Prof. Larsen made it very enjoyable. Her class consists of 1 weekly homework and a few discussion posts throughout the course. It is def. worth taking this class with this professor. She gives good feedback, allows students to exercise more for extra credit, provides weekly information about health-related topics
Professor Larsen is truly interested in teaching her students this subject. So far I've had nothing but positive feedback from her on each of my assignments. All she requires is that you carefully do what was asked. The students seem engaged (it's an online class) based on their participation in the class discussions.
Easy class if you're looking for an easy elective. Needing a PE elective and this was a great class. She's super nice and is willing to work with you. You can talk to her about anything that you may need and is easy to get a hold of.
I highly recommend Professor Larsen. She was kind and ready to help you succeed. She loves her subject material and students. We had videos to watch and readings every week, followed up by lab reports and a weekly quiz. No midterm or final, but we had 1-2 big projects. Adequate room for EC and corrections. Lovely professor and I enjoyed the class.
Fall 2021 Easy class, the teacher is pretty nice. Open book quizzes and tests. Not up to date on some language, nothing offensive, just doesn't understand some newer language. Easy to work with if you have barriers.
She was nice and didn't require much, assignments are long and you need to read her book in order to pass the weekly tests. I'd take her again she was nice and funny. I just personally disliked the lengthy homework but it's not the worst. Besides that pretty easy A.
By far 1 of the worst classes. She treats a 3 credit elective course like 5 credit course & piles a ton of assignments every week. We are adults who have lives, families & other things outside of school. Most are also taking 2-3 other classes. So be aware if you're not a part time student with an immense amount of free time. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!
Loved this class. Caring instructor and reasonable workload.
Learned so much about female life stages with her absolutely amazing teacher gives detailed feedback.
Such a fun spirit. Made working out so much fun and always thoroughly read through my assignments and showed she really cared about my progress. The health habits that she has you practice each week are very insightful and help you further connect with your mind and body.
This class requires a ton of reading and loads of written homework, quizzes and two reflection papers, for 3 credits to much work load, should not have been so much. And the videos of her lectures are unclear can barely hear what she is saying and alott of the data is not current.
There are a lot of long assignments and quizzes. But overall I enjoyed this class. She gave great feedback. And she is understanding for the most part if you turn in assignments late.
Larsen gave good feedback on all written assignments, and overall the class was not very difficult if you knew the material. However, for a 3 credit class, weekly quizzes, discussions, reading, health labs, and sometimes an extra assignment thrown in... it felt like the only reason it WASN'T a 4 credit class was because it was online.
Her assignments are rather easy and thought out. Includes a lot of self reflection. This class has weekly tests, but they are done through canvas not in class. The tests are easy. PARTICIPATION MATTERS! She gives great feedback on weekly health habits! She's very thorough and respectful and wants you to learn and succeed.
Raschel is an amazing professor! She is very dedicated and enthusiastic about what she teaches. The weekly layout was always clear and thorough. There is weekly reading, discussion posts and replies, assignments, and quizzes. Be prepared to dedicate a good amount of time on this course, but it is clear and manageable.
Raschel is an amazing professor! I absolutely loved taking her class the past 2 terms. Very kind and inspirational. She's very understanding and willing to help if you need it. Very easy to get ahold of. Extra credit!!
Raschel is amazing! I have taken her pilates class for two terms, because I loved it so much. She cares about her students and makes an effort to get to know them. Attendance is mandatory, but you can do makeup workouts and still earn 100%. One of my favorite classes!
Larsen is really easy. Not very organized but worked on getting things fixed when she noticed the mistake. A lot of changes and made sure that students understand the material. During lecture it is slide guided but it is understandable. Nice and understanding.
Professor Larsen's class had a reasonable workload. The assignments and quizzes were manageable, and she provided helpful feedback. Unstuck ai was a great study aid alongside the required readings. Overall, an enjoyable class that helped me learn.
She is very nice and understanding when it comes to taking a break.
She assigns way too much work for an online class. I think she just might forget that this is our first time learning about certain subjects. There's a quiz every week based off the reading but it feels as though the content that we are being quizzed on is selected totally at random. She has gotten information wrong on the quizzes as well.
This pilates class was so fun. Professor Larsen made the classes enjoyable and cared about her students. She loves to have conversations during the workouts and understands when people needed breaks. Participation matters A LOT, it's basically worth your grade so if you just show up and try to do the workouts, you'll get an A in the class.
Great teacher the class wasn't difficult. Assignments were easy and straight forward. The only thing that was probably difficult was quizzes you have them each week and its on the chapter that was assigned for the week. Overall I would take this class again and recommend taking this as an easy credit.
