Comment:
I took her online class and I would definitely suggest it. You just read from the online textbook from McGraw Hill Education and take reading checks (participation not accuracy) and exams at the end of the unit. I recommend printing out the study guide notes that she provides for the chapter and filling it in as you read so you have the notes.

Comment:
she set up the class really well and gave us clear instructions on what needed to be done. The only bad thing about taking her is that she only gives one opportunity for extra credit and her quizzes as well final exam she does not give you enough time to be able to read the question throughly so really need to be on your guessing game

Comment:
Dr. Bartz is GREAT for AT lab. She has a ton of experience and is super nice! She's so caring and super fun to be around. This being said, I do not recommend her for an online class. The worksheets took easily 30 min if not more and were worth 1-2 points. Not very clear on instructions. Definitely take for lab, DO NOT take for online lecture.

Comment:
Professor Bartz is probably the worst professor to have for an online class. I am convinced she just marks you down on assignments so you don't get 100. I compared my assignment to a class member and her feedback was the same exact as the feedback she had given me. If you are not going into AT do not take this professor.

Comment:
Professor Bartz-Smith is super awesome and really wants her students to pass. This was a lab, so attendance is important. The lab manual is free (provided by her on BB). She does post quizzes on blackboard, but they are not difficult if you paid attention in class. The final practical was not as hard as it sounds as long as you prepare for it!

Really hated her. She assigns homework assignments that are worth 1pt and take about an hour or more to complete. After receiving a 0/1 on 2 HW assignments and the having the comment "This is right, but doesn't show you read the chapter" I stopped doing them. If you are a upperclassman movement science major you will do fine on the quizzes anyway.

Comment:
You can tell that she is an upper level athletic training professor. When she is presenting, she does a lot of referring to other body parts/location that she doesn't test on. She is terrible at e-mailing and getting your assignments graded. Her feedback is unhelpful and grades ridiculously hard on abstracts. If not going into AT, don't take her

Class material was a little dull, but I liked her. She did her best to add in interesting stories and connected with her students. Exams are not terrible Very picky on her APA while grading abstracts.

Comment:
This professor is very informed when it comes to first hand experience and is enthusiastic but I found her lectures dull and not very helpful. You have no idea what to study for the exams and its a lot of material. She is a very tough grader and seems to pick favorites. I don't feel as if I have learned much but gives lots of extra credit.

She was absolutely horrible! Make sure to memorize APA or else you will not do well on abstracts. Although passionate about Athletic Training she should not be teaching.

Lower level (100-200) then she is a good prof-easy grader. BUT, if you are looking to take her for any upper level courses DON"T AVOID IF POSSIBLE!!!! Upper level course work seems to be above her teaching level and grading and expectations become unrealistic. Assignment expectations unclear and grading is very SUBJECTIVE.
