Easy A class. Make sure you come to class when you are doing group work and also when you are expected to participate in the group project. The only bad thing is that one of my group members never even showed up or even bothered texting and she got the exam same grade as us on it.

This class is a prereq for Kinesiology major, but I took it for personal interest as I'm from the college of arts and science. I received an A for this class, and I think the overall curriculum is great paced. The course is broken down into 6 modules with a total of 23 small units. Each unit quiz is 5 points, and each module exam is worth 25 points. You get to drop 3 of the lowest quiz scores and 1 lowest module exam. You also have around 10 group assignments that's worth about 100 points. Toward the end of the semester, your assigned group would work on an assigned research group project, which has a super lenient grading rubric (basically everyone gets a 100). The course material is quite dense that touched upon many aspects of kinesiology, human anatomy, neuroscience, sports training, health, etc, but I would really recommend it if you are looking for a fun and worthwhile class to take.

The class itself isn't too bad, it is a very general overview of many different topics related to kinesiology so it is definitely a good introductory course. There also isn't much work outside of class and Professor Saliba is good at expanding upon things in class to help you understand them better. The tests weren't too bad, although each one had a few questions that could trip you up but if you study well you should be fine. It shouldn't be too hard to get at least an A-.

I loved this class. Saliba wants her students to succeed and is so accessible. I took this during COVID and the online format worked great. I am glad that I decided to transfer into the kinesiology program at UVA.

I LOVED this course! It was a fairly easy A, with about 1-3 hours of prep work per week. Professor Saliba is a fantastic human and lecturer. The course is set up for student success. #tCF2020

I enjoyed how this course was broken up. We usually met once a week for our weekly group assignment and once every two weeks for our module exam. The lectures were recorded, and the powerpoints were available for notetaking. There were quizzes associated with each lecture, which made sure you understood the material. The module exams were proctored, and as long as you studied, they weren't too difficult. Also, office hours were held each week, and Susan and the graduate assistants were more than willing to help if you had any questions. There was a research group project at the end of the semester, and it wasn't difficult as long as your group is motivated. The final is cumulative, and as long as you review the powerpoints and quizzes/exams, you'll be fine. Overall, if you study a few hours before each exam, this class is an easy A.

First thing, DONT buy the textbook. I got an A and literally never opened the textbook. Your grade is 6 quizzes that are all really easy straight off the powerpoints, 1 final, and participation in research and discussion online. This is an easy A.

Sue is a great professor and this class is a great introduction to what kinesiology is as it made me decide to pursue it as a major. Engagement credits were a little annoying so try to get those done early.

Definitely recommend this class if you're interested in the Kinesiology Major or the new Health & Well-Being Minor. The class is very straightforward; the lectures come from the PPT slides, which are all on collab. Professor Saliba and GA, Lindsey Slater are both super relaxed and make the class fun and interesting. Additionally, this class is pretty easy as long as you attend and read the slides prior to the multiple choice tests, which there are 6 of. Like most classes at UVa, there's a pretty big hump from an A- to an A (there is no A+), but if you're at UVa, you should have no problem pulling a B+ or an A-.

I would totally recommend this course if you are interested (or just curious,) in Kinesiology. Both Susan Saliba and Lindsey Slater are knowledge about the field and very understanding. This course requires little outside work and if you study for the quizes you will be fine. Don't waste your money and buy the textbook, you can get all the information through lecture.
