KINE 2000

I definitely recommend this class. There is a textbook that you can buy however I never opened to book. I have an A/A- in the class right now and have never read and only attend class occasionally. She sometimes gives extra credit to the students in class on random days so it does help if you are in class to get those bonus points however they aren't crucial. Sue is a good professor and teaches off of slide shows which is what the quizzes are based off for the most part. The TA (Lindsay) and Sue are also very nice people and good educators. You should definitely take this class. It doesn't require a lot of work and is fairly easy, fun, and interesting. #tcf2016

Loved this course! Super interesting for kines majors and any major! Quizzes almost every 2-3 weeks based on lectures. There's in class projects and one big group project that is presented in class. Final, cumulative exam, but nothing extremely hard. There's a book for the class, but it wasn't used for tests or anything, just a source of extra information.

This is a pretty easy class, although it takes a bit of work to get above the B or B+ mark in grade up to an A. Sue Saliba is very nice, and very knowledgeable in her field. She is not the most organized, nor is she a great lecturer, but she always effectively teaches the material necessary to do well on quizzes and tests; if she doesn't, then she changes them to match what she has taught.

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.

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-.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
