This class is the first one I took online, and it was great. "Lectures" were presented as PowerPoint presentations, and professor Dimond was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. My main problem was with all the typos and misspellings and bad grammar on the presentations! I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot, though.
Long, long powerpoint slides. Very good at explaining information in further detail. Excellent at giving just enough information to get you through test. Gives study guide! Follow it, exactly like the test. Overall great!!
I really enjoyed this course. The intructor made it very interesting.
She is intelligent, but does not have the students best interest in mind. It is your call, however, if you have to take a nutrition take Analisa--she is much better plus, funny!
I took this class online during the summer of '05 and found it to be quite clear and informational. She does need to edit her work more thoroughly, but other than that the course was interesting and I found Prof. Dimond to be very knowledgable. This class/instructor is a great online choice for summer school.
Just took this class, very easy. Never studied. Got a B though.
On-line course that is tested to the lectures moreso than the textbook. Instructor has many opportunities for extra credit. Anyone who applies themselves to the course will get an A.
I took her online class and you have to read the lectures and the text book to understand the material she is helpful but you do have to email her and it takes about 2 days to get an answer the test are easy if you read the text and lectures you have to keep up on the work and a discussion board every week to get the grade you want
Her study guides are golden. If you use them, you will definitely get an A on the tests.
Great class, great teacher! Easy online format & plenty of help. Study guides for each exam help keep the focus on the learning priorities, and make test-taking pretty simple. Great discussions, and lots learned. Highly recommend!
Excellent Class - Online - Clear - Concise - Best avenue for those Allied Health majors taking difficult science lab courses. This instructor is very organized! She has multiple opptys for extra credit. Testing is fair multiple choice. I've recommended this course to others.
I found the class very enjoyable. The interactive postings kept things interesting and the students talking to each other. I learned quite a bit of information that I still refer to today. This was not an easy "A". I did have to read the material and apply it. But we were given study guides that were more than adequate Absolutely recommended!
This class for me was a difficult, but still, she is a very informative teacher. She gives you a lot of articles, which are very interesting regarding Nutrition. She applies every thing in lectures and book to the test, so its a must to study. Overall she is okay, she answers questions, and grades fairly.
Awesome! I learned a lot in this class.
Great online class. She really knows her stuff! I even had some q's for her after class ended and she sent me very detailed answers about my personal nutrition q's. Tests right from study guides I got an A easily. Highly recommend. Great for someone who likes to work at their own pace! Plan on about 3hrs/week minimum for an A.
Great online class!! A lot of work in the summer. Put in the time and you will get an A. This professor sheds a very practical life altering side of nutrition. Everyone should take this class.
First online course I ever took & I loved it. Lots of work though but very informative; I learned a lot. She is very personable and responds to e-mails. She has a lot of helpful life experience & explains things well. Overall a wonderful teacher & I would definately take her again.
Professor Dimond is an expert in the world of "Nutrition". I really learned alot from taking her online class. She really cares about her students and makes it a point to keep each chapter interesting. She's the best take her class, you won't regret it. Use the Study Guide, it helps with the test.
Like everyone has said, the study guides are money. Many test questions can be found on the guides. Prof. Dimond is straightforward and fair. She reads every discussion post and will mark you off if you post junk. As for the research paper, she will find flaws, but enjoys reading each one, and grades fairly. Seems like a nice lady. Recommended.
Very good teacher, like everyone said use the study guides and you will do fine.
really helpful. take her if you can. online course is cake
Very hard teacher. dont take the online course, just take it on-ground with some other teacher. tests are hard and uses respondus lock down browser. u will thank me if u dont take her.
I am currently taking her online class (Spring '10). She is a teacher who knows Nutrition and is passionate about this subject! She provides you will all necessary information for tests, so if you don't get a good grade on her tests, you haven't studied! If you study, you will get a good grade!
I am a dietetics major and I have learned so much in this course. If you are interested in nutrition take this class because Professor Dimond knows her stuff and she practices what she preaches. She has been extremely helpful throughought the semester. A lot of information is covered, but as long as you read and study her lectures you will be fine!
This was the easiest class I've ever taken! Content was fun and interesting, very practical for life. Professor Dimond is an easy grader, and offers tons of extra credit. Tests are on her lectures and not the text book. She is a good communicator with students, very helpful. Easy, easy, easy class.
This class was a lot of fun! Although this was a GE class for me, I learned academically. Prof. Dimond is well versed in this area and she offers current and up to date material also. I've learned information that I can apply to my personal life, as well. Prof. Dimond was most helpful throughout the entire course!
Very positive and interesting course. Encourages people to be more heathly. This includes friends and relatives. I recommend this for others
Very positive and interesting course. Encourages people to be more heathly. This includes friends and relatives. I recommend this for other people.
Took her online class. Can be hard to keep track of due dates so be careful but she does email you reminders. We have to post responses on articles once every week, try to write as much as you can. Tests are multiple choice and it can be hard to get an A But print out your notes and answer the study guide questions cause most can be on the tests.
This is a great course if you want to learn how to be healthy. It takes dedication and interest. I learned so much. The professor is very inspirational.
I took her course online, and I highly recommend it. For an online course it is very organized and easy to follow. You always know whats coming and its not too hard. The information is great.

I had taken nutrition 300 online and I learned a lot! The teacher is so great and she respnds to emails very quick. I am taking her next class. Everyone will enjoy nutrition a lot more with her as your teacher.
I learned so much taking this class. I took it online and had an amazing time learning new things. Extreamly helpful teacher. Highly recommended.
I have taken both NUTRI 300 and NUTRI 322 from Professor Dimond. These are the best online courses - easy tests/study guides/postings. Dates are hard to remember, but she reminds the students.It was a very positive experience and a healthy lifestyle will be the main focus.
Even though this class is hard, I have learned a lot. It's an efficient way of learning. Professor Dimond gives good advice and is informative. Just put in the effort, and it is an easy A.
I found it to be truly fascinating and educational beyond any of my expectations. This has been an eye opening experience and enrolling in it has got to be one of the best decisions I've made.
Each lecture is well done. Plenty of colors, backgrounds, figures, explanations to support the lecture are made available. This class could have been a bore. Her e-mail response time is quick, and her help is invaluable. She cares about the students and has a positive attitude. She believes in this class. The other part of the success and
I really enjoyed this class though, in fact it was my favorite and totally made up for my bad experience in a different class! The weekly agendas and personal feel really helped me. I felt like I learned a lot and feel that this was just as effective as if it were in a classroom setting. I've always been into dieting and health and now I fe
I would like to say how much I enjoyed this course. It was challenging work but very useful personally for my family and my future career as a Registered Nurse. I found a new sense of what health really is! Getting more active outdoors has been a great joy to my children. Professor Dimond is inspirational.
AMAZING professor, AWESOME class, EXCELLENT feedback, GREAT discussions + study guides, and HARDCORE lectures + tests!!!
This was a great class. The material was straight forward and the lessons were easy to follow. Profesor Dimond is a great teacher and you will learn a lot from her. I would recommend this class to any student in need of a Nutrition class.
Wow,I loved this teacher she was really passionate about the class and the students. She made the class interesting. She is a wealth of knowledge. I wish I had her for all of my classes. Who ever takes this class would enjoy it as long as you do the work!!
Professor was great, always helpful and ready to go above and beyond with her knowledge and expertise. Very knowledgeable on the information and always gave us challenging, interesting and fun assignments. Professor was compassionate and always fair if there were any problems which arose. I will take any class she teaches and highly recommend her.
I had her online class. She was really good about providing lots of helpful articles relevant to everyday life. She emailed me right away about assignments/problems/questions/etc. She's very active and you can see her passion in her teaching. I like how she encourages her students. Exciting tone. Take her, she's a cool professor.
I can't begin to imagine how much that add code and sticking it through to the end with persistent encouragment have truly blessed me. I am appreciative!For a moment I didn't think I was going to make it. But a B in nutrition WOW!!! It was a pleasure.
I really enjoyed this class even though it was a short summer school class. It was very informative and I learned so much about what I should be eating. Professor Dimond is the most polite and gracious professor I have ever had. It was a wonderful class and I will recommend to anyone I know who is going to take nutrition.
I took her Nutrition 300 online. She is a great professor. Make sure you read the lectures and study and you should be fine.
This is the most rewarding college class that I have taken. Professor Dimond is very passionate about the subject. She answers emails right away and her syllabus is very clear. All her assignments are relevant to your education. You can actually use what you learn in real life! I lost 15 pounds using the education taught in this class.
Great teacher, helpful, low stress, no busywork, and useful.
Prof. Dimond's references and use of external information (websites, videos and programming) along with the excellent online lecture presentations made this class not only interesting, but lots of fun. It was not a piece of cake however. You get out of it what you put in and in my case, a whole new light now shines. Exceeded all expectations.
I took the online class and it is very do-able. Her lectures are understandable, she replies fast to her emails, and she's super nice. The material is interesting. There is a test every 2 lectures (every 2 weeks) and there is a total of 7 with 25 questions. If you go through her study guide you will be prepared for her tests
Really enjoyed this class! Definitely a great class to take to learn about nutrition, and get some general education out of the way. Professor Dimond is a great teacher and her lectures are very understandable. She truly enjoys what she teaches and it comes off clearly.
This class is completely doable if you have the time and put in the effort. Since this was an online course, prioritize your time. Waiting last minute to get assignments done will not help your grade. Only take this class if you will try your best. Professor Dimond says: "why do something if your not going to try your best!"
I took this course online, her lectures were really easy to follow and really clear. I'd say take this class if you are on time with your work because that's what's your grade is mostly based off of. Overall a really nice teacher with an intention of helping her students learn, and an interesting class.
This class was one of the best on-line experiences I've had. It is not a cake walk, but if you are self motivated and take the time to read the lectures and view the assigned video clips, you should do fine.Professor Dimond does an excellent job of including videos and articles of interest to take the tedium out of the lectures. Great class!
Putting it shortly, I highly recommend taking Dimond for this course. She is one of the few professors I've studied under who is not only dedicated to helping you understand the material, but also so you enjoy it. But don't think this course is a cakewalk. You need to read the material and lectures. It's not a class you can ace with no effort.
Really interesting class, and really nice teacher. I really liked her power points notes.
She is a really nice teacher and her powerpoint slides are really helpful. The information given can definitely be used to your everyday lifestyle. I would definitely recommend you taking her for this class.
This class stands out as the best online course I have ever taken (20 online classes). Instructional material was presented in a clear and concise format while using real-world examples to ensure utmost comprehension and applicability to one's work and life. Educational slides and use of technology and visual aids were exceptional. Great teacher.
Professor Dimond is very knowledgeable and passionate about Nutrition. She always gave us challenging, interesting topics for forum discussions and shared valuable information in each lecture. She provided us with a study guide for each exam which is helpful to get a high score/grade. Great experienced Professor! I highly recommend all her classes!
AMAZING class! The lecture is presented using well crafted power point slides which have links to articles and videos that support the material. Online can be hard but not her course. She is an amazing instructor who is engaged and responds quickly. I highly recommend taking this class.
Professor Dimond is amazing! I highly reccomend her for all the classes she offers. I took Nutri322 online with her and she made the class very informative, understanding, and fun. The best part for me was that we were able to research and engage in really great discussions with our fellow classmates. DO NOT hesitate to take Professor Dimond! :D
Awesome instructor! Great class, very informative and helpful.
Professor Dimond is a phenomenal instructor with great enthusiasm to teach. The class was online and being my first class in this setting she was able to work with me on a few first timer issues. The course text book is optional as the lectures cover directly from the readings. Loved this class and the professor's teaching plan. Highly recommended.
Very informative and concise with lessons. excellent slides which made for great class notes. What she expect from you is crystal clear. Valuable issues discussed in depth. worth taking class! One of best one I ever took for online courses. Excellent Professor!
I enjoyed all your information and it was extremely helpful to Me.
I learned a lot of useful information that I have been sharing with my family and friends. The information is interesting and relevant. I have already recommended this course, and am incouraging my daugter to enroll. She has taken the mystery out of things like high protein diets & proper vitamin consumption and has changed how I live my life.
Alison aka Professor Dimond was my favorite online course I ever took online! Her notes are so good all you need is to print her notes read them and do a good job on her weekly forums and you got your self an Am =) easy A! take Alison her course is fun you learn lots and you enjoy it!!!
Professor Dimond keeps the curriculum easy to follow and understand. She has a ~500 word forum due every Monday that is eeeaassssyyyy. Besides that, she has a 1 hour test about every 3-4 weeks. The study guide is exactly the test. Make a note of the red arrows or circles she has on her lectures because those are the exact questions on the test.
Nutrition 300 was by far one of my favorite classes I have taken. Prof. Dimond keeps the class interesting and full of useful information. I did not need the text book and used her power point presentation to help study for the tests along with her study guide. Make sure to watch and read the required videos and articles. I loved this class.
Loved this class and enjoyed the great teaching of the professor!
Good teacher. She really loves what she does. Read the material and lectures and you will be rewarded with an A.
I took this class online during the summer, and got into it while on the waitlist. She replies to emails very quickly- which is a plus especially for online courses. Her lectures were clear, concise, and interesting. Textbook not needed. I'd take her again if I had to!
Interesting class. alot of information to learn. overall just do the work and you will recieve an A. tests are fair- grading is overall fair.
Such an inspiring professor - It always helps the learning process when you can tell that your professor loves what they do.
Alison is Amazing! If you need to take Nutrition, this is the way to go. You can't be a slacker, you have to do your reading, but she is a very inspiring teacher, her weekly lessons and assignments are interesting, informational and sometimes eye opening! She is so helpful too. Couldn't ask for a better class for my first online course.
Online course is very easy! Also a very interesting, fun, and engaging class. he's a great teacher, very clear instructions, sends out nice emails to remind students of assignments a couple days before they are due. Each week there is a lecture(powerpoint), a forum, and quiz. Very easy! Extra credit sometimes too.
Dynamic Professor! She makes the information fun to learn and very applicable to our every day lives, and the coursework is very straight forward. I got an A in the class. Basically the work you put in, you'll get out of the course. The amount of material was very fair. Stay on top of due dates and you'll do well!
Alison is a great teacher who is very helpful. She always answered my emails promptly when I had a question. The online class was very informative and I learned a lot more than I was expecting to learn. Her lectures are interesting and engaging. She is a great teacher!
I highly recommend Professor Diamond. Her class is highly informative, you can tell she puts time into her lectures and forum discussions. The class is easy only if you do the work, read lectures, and study. I can't say I see any area where Professor Diamond could improve.
Professor Diamond was great. She answers to her e-mail promptly. This online course is designed only for people who are motivated to do the work. Her PowerPoint lectures are very informative and it highlights the important concepts for each chapter. Don't wait until the last minutes to do assignments either. Points are earned, not given! Good Luck
I love your class.You're helpful and passionate about Nutrition. You have motivated me to pursue a career in the field.
Even though this course is online, it feels as though she is teaching right there! Mrs. Dimond is extremely thorough in emails and information. She is supportive of each student. The material is so interesting and intriguing that I am highly considering switching majors. I would honestly say, best course offered and I recommend it to anyone.
This has been by far, one of my favorite classes. The online approach has been successful. I preferred the weekly quizzes over mid termsfinals. I found the forums to be an extra perk as I was learning about other hot topics not necessarily found or covered in depth in my bookslectures.
Easy quiz, Easy class, Just read and go through lectures and pass!! Great class so far near the end of the course!
Professor Dimond is an excellent instructor. The informative information giving helped me and my family. I would recommend any student to take her class. She encourages you along the way and answers any questions you may have. Her grading is fair and wants everyone to succeed in her class. You get the tools and apply yourself. You will do well!
Professor Dimond is the greatest! I can tell she puts a lot of time and effort into her lectures and her class. Everything is very current and and content is intriguing. She is quick to respond when you need help and gives good feedback!
Professor Dimond is a great instructor and it is quite obvious she takes pride in her knowledge of this subject. The course itself was very informative and if you read the material and put the effort in, it's an easy A. It is also well organised and expectations are made clear. Those who go above and beyond in assignments are rewarded.
Prof. Dimond is an amazing professor. She knows her material and honestly wants students to know it. Forums due midweek for quizzes at the beginning, miss one and the quiz doesn't open. Extra credit available. Responsive to emails and student questions. Would definitely take her again if it was an option.
Professor Dimond knows her material very well. She makes Nutrition interesting, and inspires you to care about the foods you eat. She also makes learning the material easy to understand, which helps you retain the information better. If you have to take a Nutrition course, I recommend taking Professor Dimond's class.
The professor understand the subject and gave an amazing lecture every class day. She was good in bringing the material to real life. What was nice about it was how we can apply it to our personal life both for educational advancement and home. She was good in assisting me get through the use of the computer especially with D2L. She is awesome.
I have taken Professor Alison Diamond's Nutrition lecture class at the Los Rios Community Colleges. She's a wonderful and excellent Professor. Her lectures and PowerPoint are clear and very understandable. She respond to emails and questions very quickly. If you want a Professor who cares about your grades and education, she's the right Professor!
Professor Alison Diamond's teaching style is far excellent! She brings different ways to teach her students in many different learning styles. This makes her class very interesting! The materials she taught are not just for memorization but learned. Many years later, we will still remember the materials she taught us because of her teaching styles.
Wonderful teacher whose class is easy but also extremely informative! She's great and the assignments are simple yet effective with getting her message across. She's more focused on the material than on being super strict. She wants you to learn, not stress!
I really enjoyed Professor Dimonds course. She's a really good professor and person. She's passionate about what she teaches and I think thats important. I have taken other courses were the professor just kind of stands there until our times out. She also helps you to understand the material. I loved NUTRI300 and would do it again if I had to.
This porfessor is very fair and sticks to the very clearly written expectations in the syllabus. The only thing I regret that the course was on-line, because I would have loved to meet this professor and hear the insightful person she seems to appears to be.
I would highly recommend Professor Dimond. Professor Dimond is an extremely fair teacher, her tests reflects her lectures, she had a weekly test, instead of a final, which I liked, was very clear on what she expected for the semester, and I learned a lot from this class about nutrition.
Alison Dimond is an amazing instructor. The weekly forums and quizzes, rather than a few mid-terms throughout the semester, really promote retention of the material, so you never feel overwhelmed. She is clear, fair, and encouraging. She presents the material in such a way that you will assimilate it and retain it. She's great!
I took this as a summer school class online. There was a lot of reading but the information given was so good. I got more practical life information from this class than from any other I have taken. As long as you are willing to be self disciplined and do the work required this class is amazing!
Amazing class, amazing professor. Prof Dimond clearly knows her stuff and structures class in a way that really applies nutrition to your life. No tests but, there are weekly quizzes that are based entirely on the lecture material. There are weekly forums; DON'T put them off! They require understanding of the presented material. Loved this class!
Class was great! Alison was very responsive. Plan to spend time each week reviewing relevant and interesting articles/links, then writing thoughtful discussion posts; also expect that your responses will be reviewed by the prof, and you will receive constructive feedback. Didn't buy book ($), but the lectures had what I needed. Taking her Spring
Great Teacher ! Everything is open booked & lectures. Always gives great feedback and tells you what to fix. Would defiantly take her again !
This class was rich in information and it was presented in ways that made it relevant. The expectations and grading criteria were very clearly spelled out from day one with no surprises. If you do the work, you will learn a lot and you will get a good grade. The professor includes lots of great resources to expand your knowledge! Enjoyed it all!
I liked the clarity of the lectures. Weekly tests was concentrated an beneficial. Loved the weekly discussions.
The material was enjoyable to learn. This professor clearly loves her career and loves spreading the word about the importance of proper nutrition. Lectures and class chats (online class) were fun with videos and great stories. Recommend this class to EVERYONE! Passed with flying colors while working full time and caring for an infant
This class was one of my favorites. Filled with great information. Loved it, loved it. Professor Dimond is extremely fair and provides many opportunities to get an A.
This was a great class. The lessons are clear and concise and along with the chapter readings you will find no surprises on the tests. Participation in the discussions are a must. Professor Dimond is more than helpful if you have any questions regarding content. Knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, I would take her class again.
I was a late add to this class and I knew I needed to catch up a bit. She was very responsive to emails and helped me get the class added. She made sure I understood what was expected and she was pleasant and polite through the several emails it took to get me added. The class is informative and she has some very interesting forum topics! Loved it!
Professor Dimond has clear expectations of the class up front. Has a professional demeanor, articulates curriculum very well. Is knowledgeable in her craft, has real world experience, challenges the student to do their best work and grades accordingly. Responded to questions in a timely fashion. Would take class from her again, highly recommend.
Great teacher, loves what she teaches. Reasonable reading and provides clear instruction for assignments. Responds quickly to questions and provides grades for assignments within a reasonable time (within one week). Would recommend this class/professor.
Absolutely love this professor, she is the best ! I am looking forward to taking nutr322 this fall !!! Super fast grader and her lectures are very informative !
Great professor! Took this class online. Assignments are easy to handle with a little effort. Discussion board and bi-weekly quizzes based on the book readings and lecture material. The course is full of information, you will come away much more informed about the benefits of better nutrition. Highly recommend this class and professor.
I really enjoyed taking this class. I am studying for the TEAS exam and some of the material is similar to that learned in class. The professor explains the material very well and is always willing to help. It is important to keep up with the readings and lectures but if you stay on track you will earn a good grade. Professor provides study guides
I took the summer online course. I can't believe how well the professor was able to connect with her students. She really cares about your success and well being. Great teacher, I wish I needed another class she teaches. I would definitely take her again. Tells you exactly what you need to do for an A. Just do your homework and study.
Absolutely loved the course she provided. Gave us very informative lectures which were directly reflected in the quizzes. I really enjoyed all of the material. The forums were relevant and full of interesting information. She gave clear and helpful feedback. The syllabus was clearly laid out and easy to follow. Highly recommend taking her courses
Great professor.
Make sure to read and re-read syllabus. Very good with getting your questions and concerns answered fast. Course was straightforward and very informational that you can apply to everyday life.
Professor Dimond is amazing! She cares for her students and her lectures are very thorough and interesting, discussions are thought provoking. I have learned so much this term and I know that this knowledge is and will be useful in everyday life. Don't hesitate, She's the best!.
I really loved this class. It wasn't easy per say but if you put the work in you will pass easily. I learned a lot that I will use the rest of my life!
Awesome professor! She is very dedicated to her profession and it shows in her lectures. There's a lot of work but its very informational and helpful for life!
I took this class on line and found Professor Dimond to be thoughtful and helpful to her students. I mainly studied the lecture outline questions and did well on the quizzes. I rented the book from Amazon, but hardly used it. I put a lot of thought into my on line forums, and didn't regurgitate the information. Professor Dimond Rocks!
I had this class on Mondays for 3 hours and it was at 5pm after a day full of classes. She was able to make the class interesting and kept everyone engaged. She focuses on real world situations of nutrition and really wants you to learn the topics for the benefit of your own life. I would highly recommend her.
Quiz and paper due every week but the material is interesting and she gives great feedback. You get to drop your lowest score for the quizzes and for the homework so if you have a bad week it won't kill you grade-wise.
Good teacher, interesting course
Weekly assignments that were informative and interesting. Even though this was an online class, her passion for nutrition was apparent, especially in the homework assignments. I highly recommend her!
Would highly recommend this class. She does a great job about making the material interesting and applicable to our everyday. The weekly quizzes and assignments are very straightforward. If you do what she asks you to do, you'll do just fine in the class. I work full time and had no problem completing the weekly assignments.
This class was ridiculously easy. Didn't reference the book once so that was a waste of money. Read the lectures and do a few small projects and you'll be good. Easy A.
Professor Dimond is very clear about her expectations from the beginning. There is a little writing and a lot of quizzes (since it's online.) Read the lectures and do the study guides. Follow her directions, and you'll do well. Rent the book, you won't need it much. Her assignments are applicable to life, not just busy work.
Professor Dimond is knowledgeable and passionate and it shines through in the course curriculum. I appreciated her detailed individual feedback she provides for each homework assignment/discussion. She even loves to see students making an to apply the concepts from the course to their lifestyle. VERY useful info in her lectures, highly recommend
Great professor!! Online class was super easy. Quizzes were based on lectures and discussions/ homework were not hard at all.
Online class, very informative. Mixes lecture with videos and articles. Gives you every opportunity to pass. Strict word count on papers/homework. All quizes are based on the posted lecture.
I highly recommend taking Prof. Dimond's courses if you want to have a structured but rewarding online learning experience. I appreciated the feedback she gave with every assignment and there were multiple research opportunities to gain the knowledge needed for the subject matter. Well balanced class assignments.
I really enjoyed taking 2 of Professor Dimond's Online Courses. I would strongly recommend taking this professor for anyone interested in taking Nutrition Courses Online. Professor Dimond also produced lecture notes for the chapters each week - Be sure and use these as they are heavily used in the weekly quizzes.
I was sort of nervous taking this class better yet online but i must say professor Dimond is by far one of the best professors i had! Shes so understanding and knowledgeable. Any questions/concerns you might have she definitely is here to help 100% i wish she taught every class i need to transfer lol YOU WONT REGRET BEING TAUGHT BY THIS PROFESSOR!
A easy class. There are discussions, homework, and quizzes almost every week. For the quizzes, the professor gives study guides. ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS because the questions will not be found nowhere, except the power points. There is also a diet project, which is easy too
Professor Dimond is an excellent instructor and really helps the students connect with the material. The class is not difficult as long as you stay on task and her assigned readings are very enjoyable! I highly recommend any class taught by her.
Took Nutrition 300 online - PowerPoints are very helpful and a necessity for you to spend some time reviewing them for your weekly tests. She is very clear, detailed and you can tell she loves the topic. Great class.
She is a confused professor. I took her for online nutrition class. Her lecture slides are immature and often not so professional. Same is the case with her quizzes. Quiz questions seem like coming from someone who doesnt understand the topic clearly. Makes mistakes while grading. Not helpful. Take someone else!
I'm nearly halfway through Professor Dimond's condensed (8 week) NUTRI 300 course at Los Rios/CRC and would like to share that this is by far, the best online instruction I've ever had. Clear instruction/expectation, well-organized and thoughtful material. Dimond herself is accessible, responsive, supportive and, most importantly, authentic.
I have taken both Nutrition 300 and 322 and must say these two classes are head and shoulders above any other online class I have ever taken. Professor Dimond cares, gives excellent feedback and makes me feel like she is right there as my coach. I highly recommend either of these two classes to anyone even mildly interested in Nutrition.
I took online Nutrition 300 from Prof. Dimond and enjoyed it so much that I was inspired to take 322. For an online class, she does such an outstanding and clear job that I really learned nutrition. I have decided to change my major and go into the field because I now understand how relevant it is. Definitely take HER class!!!
I definitely recommend taking this class! Professor Dimond truly cares about what she teaches and her lectures are full of very useful information. She gives a study guide at the end of each lecture. Every week, there is a quiz that is due with every lecture but, they are fairly easy! She gives great feedback on assignments too!
Professor Dimond makes an online course interesting, adding a bit of personal info so it is not so impersonal. She gives great feedback. Make sure your papers are in on time, no late work is accepted. Fill out your study guides for the quizzes for easy access to your answers. Critical thinking for your writing assignments are a must!
The homework assignments were basically PSA announcements, like what we had in high school. Just say alcohol is bad or talk about how horrible prescription drugs are and you get full credit. The lectures themselves contained a lot of references to studies that often explained correlation and not causation but were posited as absolute fact anyways.
I took NUTRI 300 during the spring as an accelerated 8 week course. I found it very interesting and loved the mix of information provided. This was one of my very first college courses and I enjoyed it. Sometimes with online classes, it is often hard to contact your professor, but Prof. Dimond was right with us. Great course.
Love, love, love this class! Professor Dimond keeps you on top of things and makes you feel like she is right there with you which is hard to do for an online class. I have had other online classes that are nowhere near this good.
I took Dimond for NUTR 300 and 302. I received A's in both, in 300 I bought the book online through Amazon but used it maybe once so did not bother getting for 302. Very nice professor with clear grading expectation. Weekly quizzes, discussions, and write ups- generally 500 word count. Would take again
Awesome Professor! Took this class online over the summer. Honestly, was so easy I wish I took another course. Dimond was also very organized and responsive to emails. I learned a lot too! She would assign certain chapters or passages every week from the textbook, and at times also asked to quote them in some homework assignments.
Ms. Dimond, is very nice and caring person, she is on top of everything, she emails you back right away, weekly test, discussion and homework is easy and you have to do a Diet Project Data Entry at the beginning of the semester and Diet Project Report which is 2000+ words minimum towards the end of semester, yes i say it right 2,000 words.
This is one of the best online classes I have ever taken. Instructions and well designed and. PowerPoints are vertical clear and direct. When I have a question, she has an answer for me very soon. The diet project is fun and easy. She has so much knowledge to share; take her class.
Organized online class. No need to read textbook. Weekly quizzes and homework/discussion. Sometimes gives extra points for homework done well. Gives good feedback. Big project due at the end.
Interesting class. Just go through the lecture slides, no need to read textbook. No project. Weekly quizzes and homework on articles and videos and commenting on them and other posts.
She loves nutrition and it shows in the lecture slides that she creates each week. If you read materials and follow HW instructions as outlined, you will be successful and have an A in this class. I missed two HW assignments so my B was self-inflicted. I took two semesters (300 & 322), if there was an opportunity for round three I would take it.
I took Prof. Dimond's 8 week online Nutri300 class. I am NOT a fan of taking online classes but I need this class as a pre-req for nursing. I was nervous b/c I prefer being in class to ask questions and hear the professor teach, but Prof. Dimond made her lectures very straight forward and her email response rate is incredible. I highly rec. her!
I loved professor Diamond, her class was easy to take if you pay attention to the lectures and HW. Sad to see her go.
