Comment:
I took his fitness and conditioning class completely frightened of being yelled at and such, but it was completely the opposite! Les is such a kind professor, slightly traditional, but super motivating. He helps create a "running culture" for the entire class and I've really enjoyed my time in his class. It's actually my favourite.

Les is a relatable prof who you can speak to at any time about anything. He challenges you in your schooling, but also in your daily life. He's rememberable and you always take something away from his class each day.

Comment:
Les is a unique professor that veers away from traditional textbook learning and immerses his students with engaging discussion. His views on holistic wellness are a great example to live your life by. Only con is that the final exam is worth a ton on textbook material that we hardly covered in class. He needs to tie up the evaluation a bit.

Les is honestly the most motivational man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is tough but he pushes you to be your best. In the running class he is supportive and fair and basis marks off of your attitude. In his lecture, if you put in the work Les makes sure you are rewarded. Great teacher! Highly recommended!!!

No structure. Every class i've taken with Les has been a struggle to get through. All I had in my notes from lectures were his favorite quotes he told us to write down. Needs to TEACH, not PREACH. Every semester during the last week of class he hits us with 15 chapters we didn't cover which are on the exam. Went to 30% of classes and got an A

Comment:
His assignments were good an insightful, but they were worth pretty much nothing. The final exam was worth a whopping 40% and had absolutely nothing to do with what he said in class. The final is only from the textbook - and it is a very tough and long exam. You pretty much have to memorize every chapter in order to do well.

Les is the reason why I am a healthy indavudual and not diabetic and 400 pounds. He changed my life with his passion towards health and wellness. I own my life to this man and he is the reason why I am going to be a teacher to do the same for other students. Take any of his classes, you will never, ever, regret it.

Les is full of passionate energy and has a uncanny nack for getting his students to really become involved in the world of Physical Education. My only problem with Les is, he is very unclear in his teaching style. I recommend that you enroll in his running class, you will not regret it!
