Doesn't publish anything online. Don't expect to know your grade until the last few weeks of the semester. Everything is handed in through her mailbox, and with that said, she's extremely unorganized. You will want to check up to make sure she's actually grading your assignments. Lectures are so boring and be prepared for thick packets each week.

It is week 10 and she has yet to publish the class on canvas. She has not excitement when teaching because she reads right off the table projector, yes a table projector. The class couldnt be anymore dull and boring. I suggest the online hybrid class I know people that take it and say its way better.

She gives plenty of extra credit but beware this will not help as you will still hardly pass the class. She gave me multiple D's on assignments that I did very well and even double checked the rubric to make sure I did everything to full extent. When asking why I did so bad she didn't even know. She doesn't have a grading rubric.. grades w/o one.

she is the worst I have ever encountered. she hands out papers as notes, photocopied and you can barley read them with stains on them. her assignments are unclear and she doesn't know how to teach. she makes up things as she goes along that' not on the exam. exams are 100 questions have nothing to do with the notes you take in class. she is a mess

This is the WORST teacher I have ever had! Her assignments aren't clear, she hardly explains things, the tests are ridiculously difficult and she gives no direction in which to study, her handouts are nearly impossible to read, she does't use online anything, and she takes points off for the most ridiculous things. AVIOD THIS PROFESSOR!!!

Comment:

Her teaching skills are alright and she knows the topic. However, her directions and notes are terrible and impossible to deal with. She is extremely stingy with points and will take away for little things she feels is wrong. Also, the directions on assignments are minimal and she expects you to know what to do. Dont take this class if you can.

Avoid if you can! I'm a straight A student and to earn a decent grade I had to fight over every single assignment for something. Always finds something to take points off for, even if it's not in the directions. 15 percent added onto tests for everyone because EVERYONE fails. I've dealt with difficult teachers, this was just annoying & ridiculous.

Prof isn't bad - if she taught a 50 minute class, it would be tolerable. But the 3 hour night class about food is a disaster. Unless packets and ridiculous project: it'll drive you mad. Don't take this class (seriously!) even just to bump the GHA recquirements for Gen Eds.

Needed this class for 3 GHA credits. BAD IDEA. The freaking program is a pain in the rear, due dates and assigments are not clear whatsoever, she cant teach at all. Class has been nothing but a nightmare. Enough Said. Don't take this class if you don't need it.

one of the worst classes ever...however i need it for my degree. She does the same thing every class which is lecture and barely allows time for you to copy all the notes. Her tests are terribly hard...so hard she curves them 15/100 points everytime! However i got a B in the class all because i did the hw so do your hw and you'll pass

im gonna tell it like it is, this class was easy. i fell asleep a couple times.. its common knowledge stuff, cupcakes are bad, carrots are good. (but she should take her own advise) its an easy B at the least and it got rid of all 3 GHA i had to take. but she is a bad teacher and very disorganized.

Even though the ratings for her sucked, I needed this class for my major; this professor is the absolute worst...gives hard tests, unfair grading on assignments, and taught pointless crap. Don't try to get help or contact her...I'm still waiting. It would be nice to have someone who actually cared about nutrition teaching nutrition...(it shows)

I have to agree with others when I question as to how she got hired. Disorganized, boring, and too easy to a point: I essentially learned little-to-nothing during the entire semester. My advice: don't take Nutrition.
