Very nice.
A sweetheart, good notes. Tests not too hard. Nice lady
Very helpful and informed, take her.
real easy just follow her notes
She makes class fun!! All you have to do to do well is study your notes!
To get an A just write what she writes on the board and study your notes from class, she is very nice and understanding! Great Lady to know!
Very nice. NOt too hard, just take notes. Take her!
She's an awesome teacher. Reminds me of June Cleaver. Class is easy if you take notes that she writes on board. Sweet lady!
type of person you want to see mad. all 4 tests are scantron and you have couple easy projects that are very interesting. study notes and read a little and you'll be fine. very funny and too kind. lots of pretty girls in the class.
doctor doctor she is a great professor. i recommend her to anyone interested in learning about nutrition.she is very helpful and allows many extra credit oppotunities.
Great teacher. very helpful, interesting class. Not stressful at all!
She is very nice, you don't even have to buy the book for this class just know what she writes on the board and you get at least a b
Tests come direct from lecture- DON"T BUY THE BOOKS!! They add NO VALUE!! Before the test she gives review topics (does this while looking at the test.) Got an A. Seriously- don't buy the books!!
The only teacher who can make 8 o'clock class fun and interesting. Very easy and highly recom. anyone to take the class
Nice lady, tells you what you need to know, but expect a lot of memorization
I always wondered y there are lots of girls takin nutrition classes, so i decided to major in it. anyways shes kool, just take clear notes ull be fine. book not needed cuz test from lecture. the projects are ez "A" if u do them right.
This class covers alot of topics, but she manages to make it clear, gives extra credit, and is very funny and knowledgable in her field
great teacher, she is cool, funny, total hippy. tests are fairly easy. class is fun. attendance doesn't matter. made nutrition interesting.
She cracks me up with all of her stories. Fun teacher, just read your notes for the tests.
easy A. all test from notes. tests are pretty easy. 2 reports that are easy. very chill teacher.
very sweet older women. answers every question clearly. Her tests are not too difficult, but if you want to get A, you better read the textbook.
AWESOME!I recommend this class even though you don't need it. Usefull tips everyone should know nutritional wise.
Clarity is something she can help with regarding the science of nutrition. Not only is she helpful and intelligent, she PRACTICE WHAT SHE PREACHES! She's almost twice my age and has a figure of a 20-30 something. If I was single, I would definitely ask her out.
Way cool teacher....talks about diet, steroids, food, weight, muscles...and theres cool field trips too. She's really "HIP" and pretty funny.
Anyone who eats food should take this class. Dr. DuPraw is cool. Everything on the exams is from the notes. No need to read the book unless you need extra explanation. Memorize the notes, ace the tests, and learn something about what you're putting into your body.
Gotta love those flowered miniskirts! Oh yeah, great class also. Really knows her material and does a great job of making it easy to learn and understand. Pretty hot too.
Totally agree with everyone else. She made the class laugh too.
I took her for a 5 week Summer class & all I can say is wow. Dr DuPraw is SO COOL! EASY class, but you learn SO MUCH. 5 Quizzes, thats it. Offers easy extra credit too. Tests are all from notes so save $60 & DO NOT buy the book! Take this class and you will see how every diet is total crap! U just excercise and eat right, & Dr DuPraw tells you how!
She's a great teacher who gets the class involved, talks about current issues, she's funny, a great speaker and she gets to the point.
She was one of my favorites. Go to class, take notes, make notecards, and you will do great. I agree with everyone else, she is absolutly halarious.
She is one of the best teachers I have ever had! This is a woman who is pationate about her work! If you get the chance take this class, she is awesome. The lectures are interesting and she is always smiling. You have to study hard but she is very clear. Take Notes read the book and you'll get an A. If you have to miss a test she gives 1 make u
Shes like the nicest teacher you can ever find. She answers all the questions and gives you a lot of detail about nutrition. Take notes!!! before exam review notes and youll be ready. I recommend this professor and she will convince you to change your eating habit... very useful class
She's great!! I loved going to her classes, makes material very clear, very helpfull and nice. Tests are somewhat easy if you pay attention and she gives xtra credit to help out.
She is a great teacher and you will really learn a lot about the food you eat and how it affects your body from the inside out. Very Informative. Enjoy!!
Highly recommended. Got A's on all her exam, but you really need to study your notes. Textbook helpful and used as a supplement to her lectures, so don't miss class or borrow from someone's notebook. Extra credit opportunity at the end. Her stories make me laugh!
GREAT Prof. No complaints here. Interesting lectures, do-able tests, and hardly any hmwk.
Dr. DuPraw is an awesome professor. Her lectures are easy, clear and never boring. My eating habits have changed for the better because of what I had learned from her. I hardly used the textbook, but good to use as a reference from her lectures. Study the notes she writes on the board for the tests.
Awesome, super easy, friendly, just an overall great class. Book goes into much more depth than the tests ever do so your better off skimming and using your notes. This is an easy A.
Teach is a babe! Tests are a little hard so make sure you read the chapters! class is a lot of fun and easy, you will benefit from the material
tests come directly from lectures...didnt use the book, only for reference from her lectures...a lot of information but easy and fun class!
Prof. Dupraw. knew her stuff and was happy to be there! She made it interesting. It was a pleasure to be in her class. Shes sweet, honest, and clear as a bell. :) i would reccomend her 100% no doubt about it.
Nice lady, interesting lectures, but her tests can be somewhat tricky so make sure you study the notes from the lecture! Always willing to answer questions and responds to emails. Other than that, if you study and do the semester project then you should be ok.
Prof. Dupraw is very informative... she knows a lot about nutrition and has answers for all your questions... I changed my eating habits upon taking this class... I am also selling the book for $65 if anyone is interested... the bookstore sells new ones for $100+ and used ones for $80+ contact:[email protected]
very interesting CLASS, not that great of a teacher though, at least in my opinion.Tests are based on her notes and random scientific facts out of the book that she never talks about. Make sure you take EXCELLENT notes, do NOT miss a single class, and turn in your projects on time, and you should walk away with a B, or a low A
She's a great teacher. Because of her background, she is an excellent source of information about nutrition. Her tests contist of all the notes she gives during her lectures, and she writes them on the board so you know what to write down. Study your notes, and you'll pass the test for sure. She's clear and helps when you ask.
Well you need to go to class to take notes because she writes everything down and doesnt have any Powerpoints. She is very nice and smart but I cant say I walked away with a whole lot but it was an interductory course. I recommened her just dont expect a lot going in.
Dr. Dupraw is awesome! Great source of info. She is a Registered Dietitian and also holds an Ed.D. Previous posts say her tests are all about the notes, but that's not the case for her summer 07 courses. Book is a must to do well. She offers extra credit & requires 2 diet analysis projects, do these on time, take notes & read text. Solid A so far!
Great Professor! Interesting lectures, with interjected stories and funny comments - never dull. Attend lecture and take good notes and you should do well. I really enjoyed her class and highly recommend taking it!
What a sweetheart! Prof. Dupraw made learning about nutrition interesting. Taking this class makes you want to eat healthy because you learn quite a bit of info about food. Her tests are extremely fair and she's sometimes very funny. Take her!
Attendance is mandatory because this class is all about taking lecture notes. To get a good grade in this class all you have to do is show up, take notes every day, study them, and do the diet analysis assignments. The tests are taken directly from her lecture notes so study them carefully and don't worry too much about the textbook.
Having taken Human anatomy and Physiology, I feared this would be a snore. I was pleasantly surprised. DuPraw really knows and loves her subject. Lectures are well done and fascinating. Even though I am familiar with 75 - 80% of the material, it's not boring to hear her cover it.
Prof. Dupraw is by far the sweetest woman I have ever met. She's great. She loves what she's teaching and is crystal clear in her lectures. Take notes and she'll tell you what's on the test. Great class!
She's a great teacher with a lot of knowledge. She's super nice and wants to help people out. I learned a lot in this class. Take her!
Christine is an awesome teacher. I am currently graduating at sdsu an she is by far the best teacher I have had in my college career. She rocks
I took her 8 week class. She makes things extremely easy to understand. I really enjoyed her class. Don't miss lecture, she tells you all the important information you need for the tests. She has some pretty interesting stories to tell. I've already used information I learned from her in the real world. I wish I could take her again.
She is AWESOME! She always has a smile on and is a delight to listen to. Take her, you won't regret it.
Attend every class since the exams come directly from her lecture. I passed the class with an A because I attended every class, studied my notes, and did the readings (just to get a better understanding of her lectures). I didnt purchase the book, as she has a few copies on reserve in the library..so save your $ and check it out at the LRC.
Great teacher!!! Keeps the class very interesting!! SHe puts all the notes you need on the board. And the tests are easy if you study your notes. And the only homework she gives is 2 very easy Food analysis paper. Book is not totally necessary.
She is extremely nice, very helpful and the information she teaches is interesting. However, her tests can be ridiculiously hard sometimes. I'm a nutrition major and I studied hard for the tests and they were still very challenging. But don't worry because the term project is fairly easy and she gives plenty of extra credit.
sweetest teacher ever. when I wake up in the morning I WANT to go to this class. she is so interested in what she teaches and always very peppy and happy. she jokes alot and keeps the class intertained. i suggest taking her
Very interesting class learned a lot of stuff but got bad grades on the exams. Book isnt really needed supposedly your notes should be all you need. even tho i got a bad grade i still learned a lot of useful stuff
She's amazing! The tests were actually quite hard, I only got an A- on the first one and Bs on the rest, most of the students failed! Their fault for not studying. However, the diet analysis brought me up to an A. I wish I could retake this class to have her as a teacher again, Mesa students are lucky to have her.
After having her for Nutr 150 I had to take her again! She's so amazing I literally love her and Nutr 153 is another amazing class! She's motivated me to change my major to nutrition!
8wk online class.answers questions promptly. tests mult.choice but not all that easy. 5 exams, weekly discussion board questions, diet analysis which was not difficult. ec if analysis done early. definitely was worth taking, learned a lot and class was very managable w/full time job and other class.
Dr. DuPraw is a warm & patient instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable & tries to make class fun and interesting. The assignments were worthwhile & constructive. I didn't need (or buy) the book since 99% of the test questions were derived from the lecture notes.
Professor Dupraw is such a sweetheart! She literally will make your day much better just from her sweet smile and her amazing teaching! Take her for Nutrition 150! Just study the notes that she writes on the board. Extra credit is given too. Trust me, study your notes, you will pass. She is so nice!
I took this course Fall '10. I wish I didnt, Dupraw is extremely confusing. She demands a lot, and her tests are so hard. 75 ?/hr or 50/ 45 mins. And the answers are not in the book most of the time or her lectures ( believe me! i printed it out and highlighed) I spent hours after hours, only in the end to realize I have to use google. Worse teache
Took the 8 week online course. I loved this class. Read the book and do the assignments and you will do fine. You must read to do well on the tests, the reading is easy and interesting if your a science major. Prof DuPraw is very sweet and responds to any ?'s u may have. All instructions r very clear. I've heard her campus classes r great as well.
I took sports nutrtionfrom christine, best nutrition class I have ever taken and I have taken several. She is clear in the assignments, follows sylybus, easy to talk toin class and her tests are fair. I would highly recommend any of her classes.
I loved her class. She stuck to the sylybus, assignements ere welllayed out, provided pertinant information and test were fair. I have had several nutrtion classes and she was and is the best.
great teacher, always nice, full of information, even answers personal questions about nutrition after class. one of the best professors ive ever had
Well, she is "Dr." Dupraw and with "Dr." the classes are always challenging, from my experience (must their ego). I majored in nursing and took this class online for fun, but it is way too detailed. A lot of times I had to use my knowledge from nursing and the bio classes I took to answer the test question. Way too advance for an intro class...
Dr. Dupraw is an absolute sweetheart. She always comes to class with a smile when everyone else is groggy and just got out of bed. Class is interesting, she answers any questions, and welcomes students to visit her during her office hours. She is truly one of Mesa Colleges few gems. Class is a bit challenging, but what class isn't?
Professor Dupraw is an awesome teacher. Some of the questions on her exams are a little misleading. But other than that, she is straightforward and clear. On the online class you have 1 project, 5 exams, 5 discussions and 1 final. Her exams are all multiple choice. Take her if you have the opportunity to!
Good professor, she always answered questions quickly. Quizes were insanely hard! Even if you studied like crazy, there was no way to do wthm without using the book. I'd still recommend her, just be prepared for those online quizes.
You will use the book alot but the class and the assignments were layout great. She rely back quicky if you need help.
Great professor! She writes down everything you need on the board so you don't have to wonder if you missed anything. She even puts a star when it's for sure going to be on the test. You do have to put in a little effort and read a bit of the book but not hard at all to get a good grade. Take her she's great!
Awesome teacher and excellent class! There are 6 tests and 1 project (super easy diet analysis). Also, if you turn in the diet analysis early you get 10 extra credit points! Everything on the test is in the lecture. You do have to study a little bit to get an A but other than that you definitely will learn a lot!
6 tests and 1 project with 10 extra credit points if you turn it in early. Everything on the test is in the lecture!
She is so nice! I really enjoyed her lectures because she always gave you advice about other things regarding the lessons we covered. She's really helpful once you go up to her and ask questions. Recommend her. Great class.
She's a very nice lady but kind of silly too. She got a kick out of saying diarrhea. The notes are super straight forward but I would also read the chapters in the book for reinforcement. There were some questions on the tests that weren't in the notes but in the book. All in all, I really learned a lot in the class. It was applied science.
She is a good professor and is very knowledgable. She goes off on tangents too much. She is old fashioned - doesn't use PowerPoint and write everything on the board as she speaks. She is all over on the board, her handwriting is hard to read sometimes and misspells a lot too. She will say "this isn't on the test" but of course it shows up.
Professor DuPraw is an awesome professor. She was very organized and told every student from the beginning what she expected from each of us. My course was taken online and I really enjoyed it. Make sure you do read all the powerpoints and get an understanding for the material. I barely used the textbook but I did use it and it was helpful.
Unbelievably rude and condescending. If you ask for help, she will not help you. Completed the entire final project only for her to not even look at it! Responded to email when she felt like it. Teachers like this should not be teaching if they don't care about students. What a mistake taking her class.
Great online class. The class is made up of online quizzes and tests, and one diet analysis project. Easy A as long as you keep up on deadlines.
Dupraw is such a sweet teacher. Always comes to class in a great mood, always cheerful! Your whole grade depends on tests. She has one day towards the end of the semester where you can make up one test. No homework, no assignments. One big project. You will definitely need the book to pass.
I love this class and Professor Dupraw! She is very nice, sweet and always smiling. There are a lot of interesting facts about nutrition that you need to know and make your life more healthier. Some test questions are tricky and there are a lot of things to remember so, make sure you need to go over all the materials and study hard for test.
Ez class. Just make sure to read the powerpoints if you don't like reading off of the book. Take gud notes and pass dem tests.
Took my nutrition class online and it was a very pleasant experience. She was well organized and got back to my emails quickly. There are 4 DB questions, 5 tests (3 chapters per test), final (5 chapters), and a diet analysis project. Tests are easy if you have the book and look at her power points. Would totally recommend!
Her class was awesome! Easy to follow, great lectures, easy tests (for some), and good test reviews. I definitely wouldn't buy the book because she covers the need to know stuff in class and posts lecture slides on blackboard. I learned a lot and highly recommend her.
Follow her lectures. Write down good notes. The info she writes on the board is a must know for the test. She wont give you all the info though, look at the ppts. You never know whats going to really be exactly on the test other than what she writes on the board. One easy "big" assignment i did in one day... lol. gives around 25 pt extra credit
Sweet lady whom I have all respect for. Her class is easy!! :)
It's hard to get ahold of her as she doesn't respond on weekends and waits two days to respond during the week. She also uses blackboard as her platform for her tests which is okay but extremely unreliable because it's constantly going through maintenance. I was interrupted during one of my tests and she didn't let me retake it. Not cool.
I loved her class so much. She has an amazing personality and is amazing at answering any questions you have during class. I would take her class again no doubt about it!
Took this class online over a winter session! Dr. DuPraw was very easy going, answered all my questions, and was even nice when I was a little technology challenged. Offers EC and assignments are do-able ... just a do them! The textbook is not necessary though, so save your money since you have to buy a pricey access code for Mastering Nutrition...
A straightforward professor. Will respond to emails promptly, but dont take this course if youd prefer a lot of interaction with your professor. Assignments are clear and straightforward as well. She also offers extra credit opportunities. As long as you put effort in, you will pass and probably get an A.
Great class, learned a lot, DuPraw gives a clear syllabus of whats expected. Do the homework, review the chapters and study guides, and finish assignments on time; you will get an A.
Dr. Dupraw is super sweet and is clear on what she expects. She lets you know what will and won't be on the test and advises which slides in particular to study the most. There are also a few extra credit opportunities. Just review the chapters and the slides and you're good.
Professor DuPraw has an organized syllabus. She lays out the class expectations very clearly in the syllabus. I like how she has such a caring demeanor about her. She is easily approachable and desires to help her students. She answers all questions that you have with detail and she displays a pleasing personality. Best teacher ever! A+!
I took this class in the Summer, and let me tell you it was the best thing I ever did. Prof DuPraw gives weekly assignments and exams, but they are not difficult as long as you do the homework and the exams you get an A. There is one assignment where you track your food intake, but just follow the directions and you'll be fine.
As an online course there is plenty to read all the time and can be a little overwhelming but the Pearson MyLab has study tools that I wish I would have looked over and where the hw is turned in. Stick to the calendar and maybe even work ahead because the professor does not take late work.
4 DB questions, 5 tests, a final, and a diet analysis project. You don't need to buy the book since her powerpoints have all the info you need. As long as you turn in your assignments on time (she doesn't accept late work) you should have no problem getting an A.
She was a really good professor. She is very attentive if you have questions and willing to answer them at anytime. She can be funny and has a lot of knowledge to share about everything. She can go fast when using the slides in class. Get a good seat so you can see the board because she uses that often. She can go on a tangent ever so often.
Took her class. Its not only easy, but I actually enjoyed it and LEARNED something. History teachers, this is how you do an online class right. While taking her class, I learned how to lose weight by exercising more than I consume. She's my favorite online teacher, and I would highly recommend to take this awesome class.
very easy class. i took it online and it was very organized and clear on what was needed to be done. Just a few discussions, quizzes, small hw assignemnts, and one little project. i would easily take professor dupraw again.
I took this class online intersession. Don't just buy the book you will definitely need the online code so just get the online book and thank me later. LOTS of reading. She does NOT take late work. If you read the book and stay on top of deadlines an A is pretty easy. Tests are timed with only about a minute and a half to answer each question.
This was honestly my favorite class the past semester, always something I looked forward to. She covered the general information in her lecture but I recommend reading the text to gain a full understanding. You're able to skip one test and make up for it later. My class seemed to struggle with chapter 5-6 I believe it was. The final was a breeze.
You are able to get ahead in this course. For my 8-wk summer term, she has all the PowerPoint lectures ready to view, and all the study modules from Pearson ready to complete. There are a handful of discussions and quizzes, although there are no study modules and discussions for the last couple weeks. There is only one assignment worth many points.
Dr. DuPraw is a fantastic professor. She makes her grading criteria and her expectations of you as a student very clear. When I forgot to turn in an assignment on time, she let me complete the assignment for partial credit even though it is her policy to not accept late work. She goes above and beyond to make sure her students learn.
I absolutely love Professor Dupraws class and it is extremely unfortunate that I wasnt able to take her class in person. She is extremely thorough and organized. I loved that she made an effort in letting students know upcoming deadlines, replied to every one of my emails on time, and commented on every one of my posts. Shes a real gem!
Professor Dupraw keeps you updated and informed. A lot of reading, some math and homework . Overall I enjoyed taking her class.
I had hard time to understand the class. But She did not give me a chance to talk by zooming meeting at all. I was not understanding what she is saying. I disagree with all good rating what people posted here. I don't recommend her class.
I took Professor Christine's 8 week course and it was a very easy and fun class. She responds to emails and gives great feedback. I 100% recommend her to anyone!
Professor was great at timely grading and always left feedback on assignments. It was an 8-week course and she made the class simple to follow. My labs and mastering were a little hard to use, although it got easier as the course went on! 100% recommend this class!
Great Professor. Very understanding as we are online and provides us with good information to pass the class. If you are a good learner online then this class is for you. If not she still helps you be better at it and motivates you. If you have the opportunity to take this course definitely do it if not you are missing out.
She did not answer my questions on email, and at first, she gave me a D for the introduction. She assigned everyone some homework about vitamins, and nutrition of my body that homework was worth 60 points. I did my best work, but she gave a F, so I got a C and after that incident I asked her what she wanted, and I asked her to let me fix my wok.
Professor Dupraw is incredibly understanding and kind. She understands that her students have lives outside of the classroom, and is amenable to your requests for help if they are genuine. The exams are based off of the text book--no cumulative final. The homework encourages learning and you do not lose points for answering incorrectly.
I took this class over the summer. It was very straightforward and fun. Most of the assignments are done through Pearson, which can be confusing, but you'll get the hang of it. I found her PowerPoints to be very helpful, and she also gives good feedback.
