I took this course because I was compelled to by external influences. I was supposed to be doing Physics. If you have an interest in Anatomy, than this is a good course for that. Kinesiology is not my calling, however.
This course is very difficult, because it's alot of work. That being said, there were many opportunities for easy marks. Class participation is 10% of the grade, which consists of Tophat clicker questions that you answer in lecture. There were many times where I didn't get the right answer, but I still got 100% on it. There were also "group tests". One for each midterm, worth a combined 10%.
The first half of the course is a hard adjustment for anyone who is not used to…Aug 2026 · didn’t like it · 1 found this helpfulOn UW FlowRemove this
I LOVED this course very much. Took this in 1B Health Sciences as an elective and found I was really passionate about the subject matters. I perhaps should have studied a bit everyday instead of a lot near the actual exams (there were 2 midterms), especially since I also had CHEM123 midterms on the same days each time unfortunately. I found that I would study very hard for anatomy and then neglect chemistry and it showed in my marks. I wouldn’t recommend choosing to take CHEM123 in the same term as KIN100 unless you have superior time management skills because in my opinion, it’s very hard to be getting great marks in both subjects at the same time. KIN100 was one of those courses that if…

LOVED THIS COURSE. The course content is interesting and is a very good introduction for someone who's never taken an anatomy course before. The lab involves working with actual human cadavers, which I really enjoyed and found very eye-opening. It was well-structured and pretty bird, I got 90s by studying just a few days before each exam. Would highly recommend as an elective, even if you're not a kin student!

Pretty general course which may be good in hindsight but made it quite difficult to study for when it came to the final. Chris also doesn’t really make much of a mid term or final exam review which isn’t much help either. The material can be quite boring at times as well. Overall, this course can definitely be easy if you’re fully engaged and taking notes throughout lectures, as he bases some of his questions off of what he says in class.
