Joseph R. Higgins

Higgins is a good instructor in alot of ways and not so great in others. On the good side he is very excited about kinesiology. It seems to me that he really likes this profession and wants to convey how fascinating it is so the world will love it as much as he seems too. I however could not muster as much enthusiasm for analyzing the method of walking. Higgins as a lecturer is decent, but in lab he was very scattered and at times forgot deadlines, information he had given us, and on occasion got some of his information wrong. We all had to do our scale for measuring motion again cause he gave us inccorect information. There is also a huge movement project you have to do and you must enter it in a kinesiology fair of somekind. You get to work in a group to do this and if you spread out the amount of work and prepeare for it it won't be that bad. Higgins is fair though, and if he makes a mistake he usually tries to give a few extra days recover time...He needs a little ego-stroking on occasion but he does know his kinesiology and is a reasonable instructor.

Mr. Higgins is a class act! He is hard and makes you learn a lot, but isn't that the point? Higgins is always willing to help all students achieve. Higgen is: Always prepared. Helps you to understand subject clearly. Always nice and respectful to students. Inspires students to learn.
