Reviews of professor Kalani Hobayan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
You have to attend every class and keep your camera on. Besides that, the class is super easy and the exams arent hard at all. If you put in a decent amount of effort, you should pass. Pay attention to specific examples he mentions in lecture because they come up on the exam.

He is a great teacher with a passion for physical education. Usually there is a pop-quiz at the beginning of each class from the chapter notes, but they're easy and if it was a long chapter he lets you use your notes. The labs are just elementary PE activities basically. He is a FAST grader, and assignments are pretty easy. I would take him again.

KNES 386 was so fun this semester, I had never enjoyed a class so much. Professor Hobayan is an awesome professor and shows that he cares for his students. Participation in the labs is important, but his labs are fun. Take this class with him, you won't regret it. There are a lot of assignments to do, but all are fairly easy and doable.

He's a quick grader, and makes lab super fun! We also were given the opportunity to save our classmates' lesson plans that were made during class. If I could take him again, I would! Only thing you need to be aware of is that the midterm exam is challenging. Make sure you take good notes during lectures.

Future Teacher here and PE had Never been my strength. Thank goodness for amazing professors like Prof. Hobayan. I was nervous about presenting lesson plans, especially since I mentioned PE has not been my strength in the past. He helps you feel confident about teaching your future students. He is kind and understanding. Highly recommend his class!

Professor Hobayan was a good prof and his class was fun. He assigned a lot of mini assignments and we didn't have a lot of time to do them, plus a quiz each week. The midterm and the final were very hard. His grading criteria were clear and he's funny. I'd take him again.
