Dr. G is great. I took it online. You have 4 exams, open book, and can retake them up to 3 times and your highest score counts. You have to post in the discussion board twice a week, which counts as attendance. Shes really fair, and accepts late assignments. Shes a great teacher.

Mrs. Gardner is a great teacher and gives immediate feedback. I would suggest to take her if you are planning to take this class at some point. I took this class with my schedule to be full-time and it was an easy class to keep up and not too much extra assignments to do. Overall, this was a great, effective course to take.

The course is very easy, but you will have to do several projects, which will keep you busy throughout the semester. Nothing hard, just several things to do and track. So, manage your time well. Also, you will have 4 tests. The test are open-book, but it consists of four chapters at a time, which usually takes about 2 hours even though it is open-book.
The Professor is good! She is very knowledgeable on the subject and is very fair. She makes herself available for questions, which is a plus.

The course is beneficial and provides blackboard discussion interactions which help to enhance the material and topics learned. I learned a great deal about my own personal health, and our instructor does a great job communicating and answering any questions. The format and expectations of the class are well explained through her directions and the blackboard site. It is important to participate in class discussions weekly, to complete the journal entries on time, and to complete the civic project. The class provided valuable learning to enhance my overall health wellness. I would recommend it as a class for others to take.

I don't like the way the discussion board was set up. At a masters level, there should be some kind of "freedom" as to when the assignments get turned it or done, such as posts on DB. Also, the exams are proctored, and that is so inconvenient!

Marilyn Gardner is a wonderful professor. I really enjoyed her class. She encourages her students to discuss controversial issues, which is very helpful to see what other peoples reasonings are for their beliefs and to see things from their perspective. The professor does not force her morals or opinions on others and she is very informative on controversial topics. She provides the background that an online class requires to be educational. Her tests are acceptable and are relevant to studied topics. This course was very informational and I believe it should be required for everyone. She also knows how to talk about awkward topics comfortably and she brings ease to the subjects.

She was the best online professor I have ever had! The course was very well mapped out and told you how, when, why, and what of every little assignment or test that was given. There are only a couple due dates the rest is all on you. The test are not timed and you can take them up to 5 times until the end of the semester as long as you take it the first time by the due date. The only thing that sucks about this class is the health journals. You have to do one every day and some of them are essays or papers. There are weekly discussion boards but those are cake, just make sure that you reply to other students to get your participation grade. This was by far a stress reliever for me knowing that it was all on me to get things done by the end of the semester and not by stupid random due dates. Also I really enjoyed doing the civic engagement. I am continuing to volunteer and I made some great friends out of it. I would recommend this class and professor to anyone!

This was an online course. There were 5 exams that you could take up to five times and use your book, and take as long as you want. The exams were moderate in difficulty because not all questions were from the bold print in the book and were hidden in the reading, and completed exam questions were not revealed (correct or incorrect), only a score is provided and questions were different on other attempts of the exams. Weekly posting, and commenting, on discussion board topics, a journal (~20 entries) is to be kept by the student and submitted for a grade at the end of the course, and one assignment (media scavenger hunt) is to be worked on and due a little over half way through the course. All that makes up your grade. Course is pretty much self-paced. Great elective class, great instructor, very informative, easy A, and highly recommended.

Dr. G is a great teacher. I had this class during summer as a online class. I do think we have lots of works and need to post on discussion board everyday. She count it as our participation, if you post more you can earn more points! We total had 5 exams, first four exams are covered 4 chapters, the last one only 2 chapters. Since those exam without time limited, you can take as long as you want. Also, you can retake the exam up to 5 times. You need to write a journal every day, expect weekend...Anyways, I enjoyed this class a lot and learned lots of information. =)

I took this class online (Blackboard) and I had a great time. Hard to say as a college student but its true. Dr. G is an amazing teacher who actually cares and is actively involved with her students. Even though it is a sexuality class, she makes everyone feel super comfortable with all subjects because you can ask or talk about anything and she gives excellent feedback. Just make sure that you read the material in your book because it makes it much easier (less time consuming) when taking an exam so your not thumbing through trying to find answers. Other than that the Discussion Boards are weekly and fun because you see how your classmates feel about certain things. All in all I would definitely recommend this class because you learn while having fun!

You have to post to discussion boards twice a week to earn at least a B on your participation grade, usually it is about your opinion on several health topics. There are 4 exams which are actually pretty tough but you can take them multiple times and the highest grade is recorded. You have a civil engagement project which is graded easily. This course is overall easy but make sure you keep up, because it can catch-up and bite you.

I took her class online and I had a difficult time keeping up with assignments. She requires a health journal that can get very frustrating at times. Overall, I liked her class, I just had a hard time keep track of everything we were supposed to do (I think this was because it was my first online class). The Exams are not timed and you can save your answers and come back to the exam at a later time. This came in really handy because I can't stand to stare at a computer screen for very long. The tests are pretty lengthy but it is nothing impossible because you can complete the test at anytime as long as it is before the due date.

Dr. G is great. She allows you to take your test as many times as you want, from home, with your book! She is very quick when responding to grades and questions. You do have to post in a discussion board once a week and this is how you earn your participation grade. Overall, this course required about one hour a week to fufill. It is a great glass and I recommend her!!

The reason this course is so difficult is because Gardner is not helpful and will try to completely ruin your grade with stupid shit. If you don't post in the stupid ass disscussion board every day she will drop you a letter grade. The discussion board is pointless and you don't learn anything from it most people just BS the subject matter they place in the discussion board. This is a retarded online class and you shouldn't give Gardner your hard earned money.

Every college student needs to take a class on personal health to learn about their body, stress from being in college, and the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are to the body. This class is a very informative one, no matter your particular area of study, that I feel should be required by all college students.

All of the work was online. Attendance was expected through posting about her discussion board questions and replying to others. Exams were set up so that you could retake them as many times as you need and at the end of the semester only the highest score would be taken. The only downside to this is that since you get so many opportunities the test will not display which questions you missed.

Dr. Gardner is by far my FAVORITE teacher so far at WKU. I have taken two of her online classes and plan to take the other two that she offers. I took personal health and human sexuality, got A's in both. She is ver friendly and laid back. She is also very understanding. Alot more understanding than most professors at WKU I have found. She makes the class exciting too. There is a pretty decent work load in her class but she gives plenty of grade opportunities and missing one assignment or so won't bring your grade down drastically as it will in some classes. Her exams are all online and can be taken as many times as you want. Her projects are fun, although they do require the work. I would highly recommend that anyone take Dr. Gardner for at least one class, I promise you will want to take all of the classes that she offers. She is very interactive and as I said before very friendly. Such a nice nice woman!

This was my first class as a student at Western. It was literally one of the first classes that I honestly enjoyed from day one. You will do great in this class as long as you participate. The tests are difficult but being as you are at home you can use your textbook and also take the tests as many times as you want until you get the grade your satisfied with. There isn't a final, just a evauluation survey. The only other assignments are a journal that has entries every day but they are simple. If you are needing a health class Dr. G's classes are the ones to take!!

I took this class in summer. It went fast and I loved this class. It was fun and interesting and you learn a lot. There are 2 assignments Media Scavenger Hunt and Daily Assignment and she gives you a good grade for completing it. There are 5 exams that are open book and can be taken multiple times. I thought her test was little bit hard but it was informative. I always ended up getting B in the test no matter how many times I took it. If you want some extra credit, reply to a discussion post as much as you can. If you want to learn something and you need it for gen Ed, I recommend you to take this class. Dr. Gardner is very helpful and friendly.

I took this course online in the summer. Dr. Gardner is very laid back and interesting and i enjoyed this course! The course is on a schedule and you "meet" online everyday by answering a question posted by Dr. G on the discussion board. There are 4 exams and they are not timed and multiple choice. There are unlimited attempts at taking exams but they are kind of difficult and the book is very helpful. The final is just an evaluation survey. There is also a health journal that has daily questions you must answer but it is not challenging or extremely difficult and most of the discussion and participation is based off of your own opinions and there is not right or wrong answer. very easy.

Health is a subject that could be very painful for a student if the instructor wanted it to be. Dr. Gardner is not one of these professors and wants all of her students to succeed in the class. In this online version of the personal Health class, you take four exams (take them as many times as you would like, but they are hard and very tricky even with a book to help aid you). The exams are not timed and you can save your tests to stop and work on them later. Discussion boards are a major component of the course since there will be 1-3 questions each day that must be answered. Be sure to respond to your classmates' posts too. Other than the exams and the discussion boards, you have nothing else except for writing a health journal (roughly 1-2 entries a day) and turning it in on the last day of the class.
Just be sure that you log on each day, do the work for that day (or work ahead to leave more time for the daily discussion boards) and enjoy the class. Honestly, it is not as rigorous as an upper level English course or an advanced Mathematics course, but it is not supposed to be. PE 100 is a great course if you do not want to take any physical activity courses or need it for your education major. You will learn a lot of valuable information while also learning how to communicate effectively with others.
I wish more courses were set up in this manner.

This was a web session taken in the summer. I read all the chapters over what a health class would mean to me. However your participation score comes from the discussion board which you do discuss several conterviersal topics. The more you post the better your grade. Plus you have a journal entry every night. Exams come straight from the book, not timed, and you can take as many times as you would like. Overall good class, just a lot of busy work.

This is one of the worst teachers I have ever encountered. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU CAN HELP IT!!!! She does not reply to your emails, she will not change her test questions that are repeatedly graded incorrectly, she cares only about making you volunteer at the Humane Society, she goes way overboard with all of her exams, and uses only the tiniest details from the textbook. Even when you finally find the details its a toss up at whether she has the answer marked correctly to be graded or not. I am an honors student and used to very hard classes. I looked up every single answer in our text book and found it word for word and discovered that I only received an 84 on the test so I retook it I made the same grade. When I emailed her about it she proceeded to not email me back three times. Then I emailed her TA and found that my grade appeared fine and that answers would only be changed if you could submit the question possible answers and the correct answer. She has the tests set so that you cannot view which ones you missed. All you are allowed to see is your grade. Good luck getting to her to grade anything either. She never grades anything and before I take my final I would like to know what is needed but 30% of my grades are missing! Beware of the tests as well they count for 60% of your grade. Also just use your best judgment when posting on Blackboard she contradicts herself so much that you just have to guess at what to do for the whole class. It's a nightmare!

I took this course online and it was a total breeze. The first half of every week you respond to a question she posts and the the second half you respond to a few other students responses and then just take the tests online as many times as you want. If you just need some extra hours to be full time or anything I'd definitely say take this class.

I reccommend taking this class online. There is alot of stuff that you have to do and attending everyday is one of them. The exams come straight from the book and it is very easy. Ms. Gardner is very helpful and is quick to answer questions!

Dr. Gardner is a great teacher. She really knows ethics and she will go to great lengths to get you to think outside of the box. You will spend a lot of time on quizzes and case studies. Do them as quick as you can and you'll be in better shape. Don't come into this class thinking that it's easy. It is one of the harder classes I've had and I'm about to graduate.

I took this course online and I recommend it to everyone! It was extremely easy and you could take the tests and do the assignments on your own time which was a huge help! All of her exams are multiple choice and open book and you can retake them as many times as you'd like until you get the grade you want. Participation is required on a discussion board 2 times a week but the questions are really easy to answer and you just give your opinion. Great Course!!

Dr. Gardner is a great instructor. She helps you understand the MANY sides of certain situations. But this is not an easy class to get an A in (AT ALL). Plenty of reading is involved, so be prepared. She lets you take the quizzes over as many times as you need (6), they are very difficult and there are five case studies. One exam, which is the final, probably the easiest thing you do in here. Also, we have one group debate and a civic engagement to do. Hard work for only 10 pts.

Marilyn Gardner is a great instructor for this online course. She really cares about her students, and she is very flexible. The course requires a great deal of assignments, but they are all manageable. You can take the exams over if you don't do well the first time.

This class was awesome to be a web based class. I took it over the summer and I have to say that by far this was the easiest class I have taken here at WKU. Ms. Gardner gives her students a chance to take the quizes as many times as they would like until they have the grade they are satisfied with and they are not timed. You have to complete a journal throughout the course which is extremely simple. As long as you participate daily, do good on your journal and make at least a 90/88 on all your quizes then you will get an A. I strongly suggest you take her for this class I promise you will enjoy the topics of discussion and the class as a whole!!!!!!!

This class was extemely helpful. The instructor allowed us to take the tests whenever we could, which is very helpful for people who work. I could also take the tests as many times as I wanted which made me learn the reading material. I would recommend this class to anyone.

I took this class online. We could take the tests whenever we wanted and as often as we wanted to imorive our scores. The tests weren't timed and were usually pretty easy. We had required journal entries, but those were also submitted whenever you wanted to before the end of the class. I got all of my work done, including the tests, within the first week of class. Plus, as long as you used your book during the tests, you didn't really have to read the material.

I thought Professor Gardner was very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the way the course was laid out. I did not like the test bank generated quizzes because they had inaccurate answers and were very long (average 40 questions). The group discussion was very interesting too and it really makes you challenge your moral and religious beliefs.

I just finished this course on the web for Winter Term. It was awesome. All the quizes are web based, open booked and you can take as many times as you want to improve your grade. You do have to post every day but the questions are really opinion orientated and encourage you to start discussions. There was no final and no midterm for the Winter Term class. I definitely say take it over Winter or summer term.

This is a graduate level course and the level of difficulty is more than appropriate if you want to be a competent master's prepared public health worker. Dr. Gardner has greatly sharpened my critical thinking skills. You really have no choice but to take this course because it is a core requirement for the MPH program. Just study, work your butt off, and practice thinking beyond the norm. The exams are hard and so are the papers. Be prepared with your assigned readings everytime you come to class!!!
