Comment:

I took Prof. Folkes' Fundamentals of Kinesiology. Since it was an intro class, she wasn't trying to fail anyone. She genuinely wanted us to get excited about possible career paths through kinesiology. You will have to show up and do the work, but you won't be overwhelmed. Perfect class if you have a full course load.

Amazing professor with so much knowledge. She really cares about her students and their success outside of the class. Extremely caring, funny, nice, king. Her lectures are never boring. She always welcomes questions and comments during class and is very accessible outside. Personal Training is a hard class! I would defiantly recommend her!

I took Professor Folkes' Intro to Kinesiology class and it was very interesting and fun. She knows her stuff and really has a true passion for kinesiology. The class itself is not very difficult, mainly graded on a couple presentations and papers you do. Great professor overall (:

She is very understanding wit a positive personality. She is also very patient. Attend close though, if absent she will remove 10 points from your grade and it could decrease your grade drastically.

Took her for Personal Training. This was the first semester it was offered at VC and she basically had to figure out how to teach it all by herself. NASM didn't really give her any guidelines as to how she should lay out the class. Overall she was pretty good. With time she'll get figure out how to structure the class properly.

I took the hybrid class and it was very easy and interesting. But learn from my mistakes and don't wait until the last minute for the online assignments because I forgot about some of them and it affected my grade. But besides that Leslie is a great teacher and I definitely recommend!

She is a really awesome instructor and that class is good for you, too. She prefers teaching this class rather than the kickboxing class, and I think that she does a better job teaching this class than she does the other one. Great instructor overall. Very lenient with attendance (3 with excuses, 3 without).

She is an awesome instructor! Very fit and the final is a takehome and you can find the answers to it on the handouts she gives out weekly. She helps you to become more in shape and motivates you in all ways. Awesome instructor.
