So boring. Makes it hard to get an A. Questions on quizzes are so out of left field. 20 questions for 2-3 chapters. Do not take her !

Comment:

This class required a bit of studying, but it was easy to get an A. That's if you make sure to read the book and study. I enjoyed this class; she tries to help you learn about your own eating habits and change them for the better, which is great.

Comment:

Professor made nutrition very interesting, even though she does read off the power point there really is no other way to learn nutrition. Her quizzes are pretty tough so actually study the material. I got an A in that class, but I did have to put some time in to it! Fun class overall!

Comment:

This class was by no means EASY. YOU MUST STUDY. She does give you objectives at the start of the semester and nothing came from "left field" those people didnt study hard enough. Homework was easy. Quizes were a challenge. Nursing/med school will be worse so get used to it. She's awesome as a teacher.

Comment:

Good teacher. Gave chapter objectives for quizzes(7), but quizzes were only 20 questions ea, sometimes over 2-3 chapters, so alot of material to study. Some questions were out of left field & weren't on study material, making it hard to get an A. Other class work is really easy, so that helps in keeping a high grade in the class.

Comment:

I thought it would be an interesting class,but she teaches off of slide shows and everything is word for word out of the book.She is monotone as well,which does nothing but help me fall asleep in class.Her quizzes have random questions that weren't covered in class,and it's quite frustrating.

Comment:

I was really interested in nutrition being my major until I took this class. If you want a teacher that's very textbook orientated then take this class, some of the quizzes are convoluted. She really has no opinions of her own and will not explore the realm outside the text. She really never helps me when asked but just gives smart remarks.

I took Ms. Ellen's online class the Fall of 2010. The subject is demanding and you have to study a lot to be able to get good grades for all the weekly quizes and 4 main exams. She was helpful and gave reviews that helped in the exams. Ms. Ellen is a wonderful teacher and I would take her again.

I did the course online and there are quizzes every week and a major test about every 3 weeks. However the answers on the test and the information in the book did not always match. So be careful on the tests it felt like some were trick questions

Professor Brennan Nutrition course is very interesting, it helps change the rest of your life eatting habits. She gives a study guide that she answers during her lecture. You will have the answers if you go to class. No review before quiz. The BioSpot hours and her office hours are great use them great @ answering questions.

Comment:

Took this course online n totally regret having done it that way since everyone says it was a great experience being in her class. Obviously, it was all self paced & it's important that u do the chapter objectives after every chapter so that you're prepared for your tests. Nice lady the few times I crossed words with her,very willing to help though

Great professor! Tests were very easy, and she gave plenty of graded assignments to keep your average high. Only qualm is that she goes way too in-depth for a class on introductory nutrition.

Great Teacher !!! Always there to help. Lots of reading. Questions for test come straight out of the test review paper. Answer those and you got it made. Go to the review I felt it helped. I highly recommend this course.
