Dr. Klimis-Zacas is very knowledgable and cares about her students, but presented too much information in a short lecture and assigned huge amounts of reading. A very difficult and confusing class.

This professor has made me never want to take another online class again. She wasn't clear that the book had to be bought brand new or purchased online to get the code for this website she wanted us to use. I had to fork over $90 to buy access to finish one homework assignment! Also, her lectures are long, boring and she smacks her lips often.

Comment:
Inaccessible outside of class. Horrible advisor-always late or doesn't show up for meetings at all. Rants and brags about herself constantly and doesn't get to important material. Never learned over half of the material. Doesn't stay on topic. I paid to learn SO much more than I did in her classes. So disappointing, UMAINE.

Such a great professor and lady. She has expectations from her class and exams are not very easy.

Comment:
This professor was very helpful and obviously has a lot of knowledge about nutrition. She is difficult to understand at times during lectures and through her writing, but not so much that it would interfere with learning. This class was very informative and fun. I would give her a solid A.

This woman is very knowledgeable on the subject of nutrition. If you need help she is glad to be there for you. She could leave the majority of her personal views at home. I don't need to know that if your not of Grecian decent that your an inferior human race! Overall i'd give her a B+.

She is a good professor. She is hard to understand. This is the hardest FSN 101 teachers Maine has to offer. To do well it is necessary to attend class, read your book, read the articles, and study a lot. My sister took a different section with Bushway. We had the same TA in the class and he/she said that Bushway is way easier.

Prof. KZ is a very friendly and interesting woman, and always willing to answer questions. The problem I had in her class was that I could barely understand her accent, which made learning difficult.

Comment:
I can't understand a word she says. The TA's are jerks. The class is pointless and boring. No matter how hard I try to pay attention, I end up staring at the walls which is way more interesting. It'd be less painful to stab my eye with my pencil than listen to her talk.

Accent is hard to understand at times. Material is dense and complex at some points, but it's interesting.

I thought that she was a really good teacher and I learned a lot from her. She does add her opinion to many of her lectures but I thought that they were very interesting and entertaining.

Comment:
the class is boring and dry, her accent is hard to understand, and then she says "okay" waaaay too much. One day i counted, she said "Okay", "K", or "Mmmk" 128 times in 47minutes, thats 2.7 times a minute. Kinda reminded me of Southpark. So if that kind of thing annoys the hell out of you like it does me, try to get a different teacher.

Accent is hard to understand sometimes, but she's a good teacher. Keeps you engaged, and makes the time go by fast. Her labs are easy for the most part, except for one on a comp. program that was ab. impossible to do. You pretty much have to go to class all the time tho, she gives quizzes a lot if you don't answer her q's at the beginning of class

Accent is a riot. Told us on day one what the "****us" of the class would be. Only went to about 30% of the classes and did just fine.
