Brenda- Thank you for challenging me to get the most out of this course. You gave me great feedback and challenged me to stay on track with my eating in the “Happiness Diet” and now reevaluate my exercise habits with “Exercise & The Brain For Peak Performance”. I’ve taken many college courses having an MA+90 and can say confidently your classes would be at the top of my list for educational and personal value. I have learned a wealth of knowledge from taking your classes for myself, family, and the students I teach.

I absolutely loved this course! I will definitely take a course from this Professor again. She was fantastic and responded with additional articles and TED Talks to help deepen my understanding or to help answer questions. Everyone should take this course...it really made me think and want to tell everyone I know about what I have learned. I will never forget this wonderful course and Professor!

Brenda McKinney was a kind and thoughtful instructor. She responded to all of my assignments quickly and I recognizes she had read them thoroughly. Brenda gave me more recommendations and sites to research to further my interests, health, and studies.

I took a course Spring and summer of 2021 and absolutely loved the course and the instructor, Brenda McKinney. She designed assignments that helped me learn and understand the material. I was able to apply my learning and will use this knowledge in my personal and professional life. After my first course, I looked for another course taught by her because it was such a positive experience. Her comments are inspiring and motivating.

Brenda provided quick and useful feedback on comments. She also provided addition resources to build on the content that was learned from the book. Excellent course that more educators should take. Really could be a game changer for some teachers and administrators.

The instructor, Brenda McKinney, is off the charts awesome. The classes are well designed, provide very good learning experiences with her essential questions, and her positive support and feedback are so encouraging. I had such a good experience with her taking Mindset, that I signed up for Exercise and The Brain and The Happiness Diet. All have been perfect, just what I need. She is great at picking the right books and then formulating the right questions to go with them so you get the most from your learning. I have had a fantastic experience.

This course was amazing! As a former teacher turned personal trainer, I was able to share with my clients what I was learning and get them thinking about more than physical fitness. I included brain-challenging stations in the circuit workouts, and the most common response I heard was, "wow - that's harder than it looks!" Brenda's feedback on each assignment was timely, specific and validating. Her encouragement kept me focused and excited about what I was going to learn next. I will always include a mental component in each gym workout I create.
