Comment:

Prof Miller is so nice and super easy to talk to. She genuinely wants to help which I think is amazing. BUT I will say that her instructions on assignments are so crazy specific. If you don't follow everything exactly (even the smallest things like how to head your assignment) she will take off points. It can get a little overwhelming.

Enjoyed this course. Material is relevant to your day-to-day food choices. Lectures are informative and easy to follow. Diet assignment is time consuming. Whatever is your most generous time estimate for DA -- double that time. Seriously. Prof is super helpful. Had an emergency trip for 2 wks, she helped to stay on track. Very nice in person.

Comment:

I really loved taking Bio45 with Anna Miller. She is really kind and wants her students to pass. I was scared to take this class during the summer but it really was not bad at all. She drops your lowest quiz/exam. Just stay on top of the reading and the work and you will do fine! Her tests are very straight forward and not hard at all.

Anna Miller is great! She over-communicates instructions which helps keep you on track and gives you a very clear idea of her expectations. She is inspiring and challenging when it comes to how we view nutrition. The virtual lectures are well organized and her study guides help out immensely with test taking.

Her class was not difficulty she just expected way too much for an online class. She was very hard on grading. I participated in all of the class discussions and respond to others and still didn't get full points. Her directions on many things weren't clear she had to much fluff. Just tell us what you want I don't need to know a back story.

TAKE HER CLASS! Obviously this class isnt going to be easy. Like come on guys ALL the AP classes are a prerequisite. Professor Anna is very passionate about nutrition, which makes the class more enjoyable! Her tests are hard, they make you think critically and you must use bio40c knowledge! DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON THE DIET ASSIGNMENT!!!!!!!!!!

Graded on a few large assignments 300 points from tests and 100 points from diet assignment. Online lecture ppts are redundant. Tests are overly specific. Grading criteria for main assignment is not clear and seems based on what she feels you deserve.

Comment:

Her directions are wayyy too long, longer than it has to be. So much details into the Diet Assignment, grades it very hard, tests are mix of T/F, multiple choice, studied from book and online lecs, in her lecs, she basically says to read the book. Grade comes from very few things, exams, diet assin, quizzes, participation. Very little wiggle room.

Comment:

Took an online class with this professor, pretty sure she was the only option unfortunately. Her grading system for a major project we did was absolutely awful considering the project is worth about 25% of the grade. Completing the assignment 100% and following directions is not enough to get a descent score on the assignment.

Comment:

I recommend that you have to take this class by itself or else your GPA is going to suffer. Her midterms questions are from Virtual lecture, book readings, and homework. She gives too many information that are not related to the subject and she grade pretty tough.

Comment:

Took her online course, theres weekly reading and discussions. Tests are multiple choice, tests and quizzes on text readings and online ppt. Actually need to put aside time for this class if you want a solid grade since its easy to forget about the weekly discussion or a quiz. should only take if you know your workload for other classes is v light

Comment:

the quote below is word-for-word what the professor said. VERY NEGATIVE. not willing to help or accommodate AT ALL. makes things WAY harder than they need to be. writes WAY too much, too much to read for directions, big waste of time! way too anal and specific on details of food record. spend more time reading directions than doing the actual task.

Comment:

If you have kids and job all while going to school, dont take this class. I took her online class and she literally said in her post "If you work full time, have a family to take care of, are taking other classes, get a reality check: you CANT do it all, at least not well. set your priorities" who the hell says that? kids & a job arent priorities??

Comment:

Passionate professor, cares that her students succeed, seems like a motivational speaker at times. Course is hybrid: quizzes/PPT/handouts on Canvas. Brought homemade snacks to class several times. No EC, grading straight forward, tests T/F and multiple choice. Diet assign: lots of vids/instructions (really too much), large part of grade

Comment:

This professor states at the beginning of the quarter that the class is a no judgement zone. But the way she speaks to students she is very condescending. She will get upset if you dont print out the lecture slides and use them during class instead of writing the slides down yourself. Be prepared for 30 min tangents.

Comment:

Took this class during a condensed summer course. It was a LOT of work, but I learned much about the science of nutrition. This is a course that's valuable in real life. Hard class, but there was none of the ambiguity that I have had with others. Requirements and assignments are clear, study guides available, etc. In general, I have no complaints.

Comment:

I originally registered for her online class, but decided to take her class in person and it was the best decision ever. She is very passionate about nutrition and helping her students learn how to think critically about what is going in their bodies. Super interesting lectures, but get ready to read to really understand the material.

I took online class with her. She cares alot for her online students. Before every exams she manages review class for all online and face to face student which is very helpful to get clarification on the confusion you had. She even brings snacks for her student during that review class. I will strongly recommend to take class with.
