  • took this with our lead S&C coach Andrew Hopf, everything taught is very practical and translates directly into developing athletes through programming. Over the course you create mesocycles and final is handing in a complete macrocycle for your athlete. Everything is graded fairly.

  • The course is extremely interesting, as a placeholder course code KIN 471 of Fall '22 is Human Anatomy of the Thorax, Abdomen, and Pelvis, Tamara teaches this course extremely well. There is no surprise to what's on the test, she will take time after class to answer your questions pertaining anything -- Course, Test, outside of course, even just catching up. The lab component is also a wonderful addition to the class as it helps to visualize the course content very well.

  • Great chance to explore different topics, with the strength and conditioning course offering a great introduction to the field.

  • Took forensic biomechanics. We had to write an expert report, responding report, and do a mock case trial (your partner is on the opposing side).
    Start EARLY on your case report, since you WILL be questioned on it by your partner afterwards. If you have a strong case report already, then it will make the rest of your life easier.
    The responding report is basically a summary of your arguments against your partner's expert report. What I've noticed is that the key to doing well in these reports is clarity - make your writing concise. The shorter, the better! Found it a great course!
