Pros: Subject can be interesting if you're into this kindof thing, she's very animated about it, makes funny comments about vaginas and such.
Cons: Acts very friendly but she isn't a very nice person. The class doesn't seem hard but I have an awful grade in it. She grades harshly on minute details, and has told us after exams that she expected us to have a very low class average. What kind of teacher expects the class to do badly on a test but doesn't prepare the class more or at least warn us to study harder than usual.
If you can avoid Ghth and take GKin, do it. If you can't avoid Ghth, just try to avoid Debra's class. If your stuck in this class, just follow ALL directions to the dot and you'll find the class easy, but a bit time consuming. ( have to attend wellness passport events outside of class, and fill out an exercise log, on top of the usual studying)

Pros: Very nice lady. Seems to care that students understand material.
Cons: Skips around a lot, not extremely clear in her teaching and often leaves things out deliberately for you to find on your own.
Could be an easier class.

The easiest points to get are the wellness passports and 30 hours of UREC and personal fitness hours.

She is a crazy skank bat. she yells all the time in class and you don't need to know any of it, all the tests are from the books and i hate my life for taking this class.

Treats you like little kids, but then has really hard tests. Takes little statements out of the book and uses them as test questions. Even after studying for 4 hours, only got a 71. Her extra credit is only 2 points. Too much work for a little credit, but needed it desperately.

DONT TAKE HER.

Professor Sutton was very enthusiastic about health. She was very nice and was always available for office hours. I definitely recommend her as a GHTH teacher.
