I heard she is going to teach a lecture class, I would suggest taking it. She is really friendly, gets along with everyone, doesn't mind a joke here and there. She is really good at making study guides and going over them. She always says there is more to life than biology.
Never had her class, but I know her personally and she is a great person. Definitely take her class if you can.
Made a tough subject for me way better to understand. A really nice person and helpful too. Related a lot to real life stories that made it interesting.
She is really cool. She is the best lab teacher u would ever have. I loved her. She is an easy A. She grades paper real easy. She is really friendly and even welcomes u after the class. In short she is the best .Do take her.I stronly recommend her.
She is just great. I wish I had her for Lecture. She made my lab class tolerable, she is very patient, and explains things so anyone can understand. I highly recommend her.
Science is not easy for me in general, but Professor Engel puts biology in simpler terms. The labs are so much fun with her, and her lectures wake you up. She also takes time with you if you don't listen to anything. I took her summer course, which is very fast-paced, but she's really patient with her students. DEFINITELY take biology with her.
She is an angel!! Tha's all i have to say pple!.......EXTREMLY NICE!..HELpful!....I recommend her to anyone who wants to learn a looot and earn a well deserved A :)...i had her both for lab and lecture.....Bio101.:)
she's the best
AWSOME lady.....her last name should be ANGEL..cuz she is one......real easy..u learn a lot and get a well deserved A. :) like me
I didn't think biology would actually be kind of fun. Engel made me better understand my lecture notes with simplified explanations. I hate lab manuals, but I actually didn't mind this one. She's honest, down-to-earth and entertaining. If you do fairly well, come in on time, behave and are respectful...she will be quite lenient.
It was a great class!!!
Prof. Engel was a great teacher. I hate biology and dreaded this class beforehand, but she made the class interesting. This turned out to be one of my favorite classes. She is more than happy to help her students even outside of class time. She really just wants everyone to do well. I highly recommend taking her class!!
When I took her for double lab, she really explained the labs well and seemed very motivated and helpful, even after 4 straight hours of class. Her background in a establishing a fertility clinic really showed because she understood the labs, the chick and starfish labs, especially. From her own description, she's hard in lecture.
I didn't think I was going to like biology, but this prof made it really interesting and easy to understand.
Her tests are easy if you study for them. She is very clear on what we need to kno, explains everything, not boring. She gave us 20 points of extra credit. There are 4 exams of 50-55 questions and an optional final. If the grades are too low, she will add a couple of points. I liked her because she is a very nice person, and I recommend to take her
She is such a nice professor and will work with you if you need it!!! She gives a lot of extra credit but be prepared to type them. Attend all her classes becuase you never know when she will give attendance bonus'.
I love this lady! She knows there is more to life than BIO sometimes, totally understanding and helpful, kinda looks like reba mcintyre, but younger, has a sense of humor, so much fun! I wish I had her for lecture too. Just go to class, it's not bad and you will always be helped.
Very nice teacher. Extremely helpful both outside and in class. Study the power point questions as she exams are straight from there. The book was useless.
SHE IS AWESOME
Just for info when taking lecture you need to take notes, power points are a little hard to study from when she isnt there to explane.Make sure you use review that are provied. other than that she is a great teacher and a joy to have.
Great prof! i didn't attend a single lecture (i didn't get the 15 BONUS points she passed out for students being present) and i still earned A's because she uses alot of power point, so just READ the chapters from the book and then follow her notes and you will earn an A for sure. She wants people to do good and passes out a lot of Bonus points!
great teacher and fun class
Be sure not to miss classes as attendance bonus points can be given on any day. Try to take note of questions & answers from in class quizzes-final has exactly the same questions.
Makes you feel welcome when she smiles. Very nice lady and very helpful. Make sure that you do your part in that class and you will be fine.
She is a really nice Professor. Very helpful! She gives away a lot of extra credits to bring up our grades. Take her class, you will never regret it.
Awesome teacher, easy class, lots of work yet lots of fun.
Great professor. Took the winter course and it was a lot of work, but Professor Engel gave out a good amount of bonus assignments to help with grades. Tests were very fair also.
She is really nice. I took her for the winter session, and she gave us clementines one day, waters another day, and edemame another day. You really don't have to pay much attention in class to do well. The answers to all the assessments are online on some massachusetts high school web page. She is WAY better than the other nutrition teacher.
Took the class online, no extra credit assignments as others have stated (might be for in person only). She did end up dropping the 2 lowest quiz grades we had, and some other favors in terms of grading though. Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about what she's teaching - which is great.
She is a fun Professor with abundant knowledge on the subject. She tries to keep class interesting and fun and is always looking for new ways to involve the students. If there is something you don't understand, she'd be happy to help you through it.
Had Prof. Engel for Nutrition. Please keep in mind that this is a science class so you do have to do work. She is great! She makes class fun and is very nice. As long as you attend class, pay attention, review her power points and do the work assigned there's no reason you can't get an A with her.
I took Prof. Engel's Intro to Nutrition class online, as my first class back after a long break from college. This class is a science class so you must study. The class is structured in a way that allows plenty of time for assingments. You can get an A-B in this class if you approach it like a science.
Great Professor. Discussions were engaging and the assignments and tests are easy if you read all the information she hands out. Can be a lot of material to keep up with but its not a very demanding class and Prof. Engel is very nice about giving additional info. even so far as to give answers if you go online before a test. Highly Recommended!
I loved this class! One of the best online classes I have taken. Got a lot more out of it than I expected. Lots of information and audio power points which was really helpful.
This professor was awesome! I took this class online and she was very clear on what she expected. Her quizzes were based on the book, so you do have to read. Her tests can be easy if you study, plus she gave us study guides on what will be on the tests! If I had a question that could not be answered through email, she will call you! I recommend 100
She is THE BEST!!! She doesn't have PHD and all this kinda thing... but she loves teach... I love her!!! THE BEST EVER
She is the BEST of the best!
It was my 1st online class, she is great, we actually met her in person be4, extremely helpful, always available,even though class is not easy! and requires a lot of time to be spend on studying, it was one of the best classes i have ever took and actually learned from. Be ready to study, participate in any extra credit discussions! helps a lot
She is the best of the best. Clear as a crystal. She loves teach. She explains everysingle little thing you are supposed to know. I love love her.
she is the bomb.
She is great! Very helpful and understanding. Any questions you have she'll help you! Took this class online and it required focus and self discipline so make sure to stay on top of discussions and assignments. The points really add up! Exams are all multiple choice and she gives you a study guide -- if you study you will do fine.
She is a good teacher, kinda slow lol. but she is very easy and tends to be very easy going if you don't do good in her class its your fault.
She is the best Professor ever. She loves teaching and really cares about her students. Some topics are boring but she makes every effort to make the class interesting. Her tests are easy if you review her power point presentations and do everything she says. No reason why you shouldn't get an A. You just gotta do the work.
I took nutrition with her and thought it was very interesting. It was a good bit of work for her class, but if you complete all assignments, you can earn a good grade. She posts all of her lectures online and you can even go back and listen to her lectures online which is helpful. Take her if you want to learn and get a good grade! Very friendly!
I took this class on line and I have to tell you that you better be ready to study hard if you want to get an A. There are 3 assignments, 2 Tests along with a Quiz every week and a Discussion plus two mandatory responses. It is interesting class but the info could be overwhelming. Prof. Dorelle is passionate about her class.
She is one of the best professor at MC. she is soooooooooo good, and so clear. I took her online, and she has video! Awesome!
This class was a piece of cake for me- but i have taken A LOT of sciences- so i knew most of what she already said. But, if you're taking this class just starting out. BE PREPARED TO STUDY. It's a lot of material. Engel makes everything clear and is willing to help you out till you understand! She's a great professor!!!
Prof Engel is truthfully the most amazing professor at MC. She truly cares about her students, not only in this course but in life. She is down to earth and as long as you attend class she does everything she can to help you and make sure you succeed and pass the class. She really knows the topics and make sure she teaches clearly. Take her!
Best professor I've ever had. Extremely helpful and understanding. Knows the material very well and if she doesn't know something, she will find it out for you. Would love to take her class again.
This teacher is probably one of the best teachers I have had in my life. She is not boring like most teachers; she applies real life situations and brings interesting stories from her life to her teachings. I have never met a teacher who cares so much about her students. I am so glad to have had Prof Engel as a teacher!
If you study, the tests will be easy. But there is a lot of information to know. It help if you've taken biology before. You can always ask questions and she is very helpful. Great professor.
She is great, she does assessments for the first 6 chapters, just google it! Her tests are easy if you pay any attention and check out her power points. She tries to relate info into our lives. She has a bio degree and it is a science class so be prepared for a little bio. If you work and talk to her, she'll work with you!!
This woman is the bomb! I took her for nutrition and she helped me decide it as my major. Her power points are crystal and she is always available for help. She is always empathetic (If you regularly attend class).
Bruh, she's a pretty cool professor, goes through everything you need to know. Has purple pants, what more do you want in a professor! 9/10 VNDS
She's easy to understand and an excellent professor!
She's WONDERFUL. Such a kind woman who cares about her students. She even recommends an off-campus bookstore for the book because it's cheaper. She gives a lot of work that balances out the exam grades if you do it. Overall quiz total replace lowest exam grade. I'd definitely recommend her. Can't compliment her enough, best science professor at MC
Professor Engel is such a nice, caring, and wonderful person. I loved her class and her exams are easy if you study hard. I'd definitely recommend her and she's very sweet and funny! She gives out outlines for the exams which are extremely helpful. Study hard, and you will do well! Goodluck! (:
Professor Engel is awesome. i actually have never posted on RMP before but she's so helpful and interested in the subject that you will be too. take the class, enjoy it, listen, and you'll more or less remember everything just because she makes it that interesting. easy way to fulfill those Non-lab science credits!
I really enjoyed this class. She can ramble on sometimes, but her points are pretty clear. She is a biology background so sometimes she goes into to much detail about that. She will respond quickly to text or email. She also gives extra credit. She also gives pretty clear outlines about tests. She gives attendance quizzes, so go to class!
Great professor. Learn so much from her this semester (Spring). if anyone has to take nutrition class, take with this professor.She gives extra credits as well. Thank u very much professor for a great semester!
She is cool .if you study, you will an A .2 exams (220points) final( 166) .***quizzes (100) Assessments(90 points) assignments(140 points) and she gives extra credits as well.
She's such a nice professor. Her exams are kinda hard .but overall u study u will be fine
Very clear and precise, love her. best teacher I've had in a long time. If you want str8 forward and real, please select Prof. Engel as your Teacher.
DON'T EVER TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. Especially during the summer. There is absolutely no way to study for her class. taking her class is like gambling with your GPA. Studying won't help you. It is no a fun way to learn about health, this class was a nightmare.
She is awesome!!!All I can say is, Prof. Engel, more than students is interested in teaching. Work load for short-class is more, but well-explained and very clear. She is very detailed and quick responses to students is her best at its best!!
It was such a great experience to have Professor Engel teach this class. I was nervous because it was my first online class,but she made it go so smoothly. She is there when you need her, just communicate your concerns/questions and she will be sure to help you out! Overall, shes an awesome professor and i would totally recommend taking the class!
This is one of my favourite proesffors I've had at MC. She was very helpful and very informative. She keeps the class engaged and focused by using stimulating activities on occasion, playing videos pertaining to the subject and preparing you when the video will be boring. The tests could be a easier, but majority of the answers are covered in class
Ms. Dorelle was helpful through the semester. She gives clear expectations and listen to her students. I missed classes for two weeks because of family emergency, but she did manage to provide me with the material to catch up. She is also concerned by her students success. I strongly recommend her.
She's a Great Lady
Text are multiple choices and tf she's nice but class is hard and doesn't help much
Professor Engel was very helpful for me. Anytime I had a question or difficulty understanding something she was always available to help. The class is very informative and interesting. You do have to work to get your grade but if you show up you will easily pass. I got an A.
She is a great teacher & person however her exams are super tough, I am talking 80+ questions. There are pop quizzes therefore you need to be on your feet, there are 0 curves. I do not know where the extra credit comes from that was mentioned before but there was no extra credit in our class. Great person but strict teacher, I would NOT take again!
A lot of information to take in quickly, but Prof Engel could not have been more helpful. Clear lectures, clear outlines, always willing to help, lots of extra credit assignments, participation mattered. If you came to class, read the material, read her PPTs and did the required work, an A was easily attainable. Would recommend her to all.
Prof Engel was extremely helpful. Clear lectures, clear outlines, always willing to help, lots of extra credit assignments and participation mattered. If you came to class, read the material, read her PPTs and did the required work, an A was easily attainable. Would recommend her to all.
Super nice and gives lots of bonus points. Exam reviews are online and she basically gives you the answers. Just pay attention and take notes. The exam reviews are what she writes her exams on so try to understand the concept of each bulletin so you're ready to answer any kind of question relating to it.
The class is difficult, but she is very helpful. Exam 2 was the hardest exam but overall, she was a great professor
I took this class over the summer and I think it was going to be a challenge. Professor Engel made this summer class pretty enjoyable. She is there for her students, she is funny, and you can't go wrong with taking her. Being prepared for chapter quizzes, three tests, and assignments.
Wow! I cant say enough good things about this professor. Took a nutrition online class with her. It was one of the best classes I have ever taken. Although she took a while to grade our assignments she gave extra credit -- which was more than fair. I loved the material in this class. Just read the book -- which was pretty good I might add.
Professor Engel could seem very unorganized at times. But, she gives out a lot of easy extra credit assignments (like crossword puzzles). She also gives out mini pop quizzes (and sometimes she tells you when class starts!). I would recommend her class!
This professor is someone who actually puts so much time and effort into teaching. She is an amazing professor who knows the material! She is beyond brilliant, funny and just overall wonderful. There is A LOT OF WORK. Just because she is great doesn't mean she doesn't want you to learn! Go to class! She doesn't tolerate people who don't care!
Professor Engel is a great lady, but that does not mean her class isn't difficult. She expects you to already have some science knowledge before hand and she gives you extra credit but only because she makes the class more difficult than it should be. Easy going but I am not a science major, just needed the credit. It is definitely a handfull.
One frustrating part about this course was due dates changing and it made it confusing at times. I printed course schedule later on in the course and yet things changed the last week. She decucts many points from assignments. The course was interesting, and probably better during a regular semester.
I took this class as a requirement and enjoyed it much more then I had thought.
This professor is very picky about the specifics, and if you take her online be sure to do the discussions. She does give a study guide, but reading the textbook is key. Also, if you are at 89.5% she doesn't round up. If you ask her for help she will help you, which is the only thing I liked about this professor. If you take this class stay focus.
There were no surprises in this class, Prof Engel was very straight forward with what we were expected to know for the exams. Lots of extra credit opportunities! As long as you pay attention in class and keep up with the homework you should have no problem passing! Engel is a great prof who is passionate about the material & cares about students!
Prof Engel is one of my favorite professors! She really cares about her students. Her exams are straightforward (but make sure you study). She provides so many resources to help you succeed. She also gives extra credit!!
I took this class in the Spring with Professor Engel. Honestly, my life changed because of Dr. Engel... I didn't go to the first few weeks and she actually reached out to me. I wanted to work hard at this class cause she didn't let me fall by the wayside. I've lost 30 lbs and weigh just under 200 now. Its a class for school but a course for life!
Professor Engel is a kind woman who care for each of her students- even online! She is always available by phone and her assignments are very interesting. It's a lot of work but worth it!
Nice prof. !!! She gave us a lot of extra-credit. if you do hard, you can easy A!@@
Prof. Engel really cares about giving her students enough opportunities and resources to learn the material. Her lectures are interesting and very helpful. However, she is not naive: if you want a good grade without putting any efforts, it won't cut it. She is very inspirational and approachable. It has been a real pleasure to be in her classroom.
Took her accelerated nutrition class. It is a lot of work, with reading and listening to long lectures but if you keep up you will pass. Lots of extra credit opportunities and open book online quizzes. Since she gives a lot of extra credit she does not round up grades. Overall she's a great professor and very easy to talk to!
Professor Engel is amazing. I took her accelerated class and was still able to do just fine. There are so many chances for extra credit. She's very fair and honestly I enjoyed all her lectures. But don't think you can easily pass without doing what's assigned. Just do the work, readings and come to class and I promise you will pass.
Professor Engel is one of the best professors at MC. She puts time and effort into making sure students understand the concepts and can apply it to their own lives. She is very passionate about the work she does and resonates that with the rest of her class. I have had many professors at Montgomery College and all I can say is #top5top5.
You can tell Professor Engels cares about her students. She gives a lot of extra credit so if you are willing to put in the effort you can definitely get an A. Beware of the exams though, they are extremely difficult.
Heavy test. wouldn't recommend
She seems very chill but at the end of the day she is a tough grader and she does not mention that at all. She keeps saying that she accepts anything that makes sense but she wants an exact answer in reality. With all the extra credit opportunity I still could not move my grade higher than a C because of the way she calculates everything.
Professor Engel is sweet, and caring about her students and wants to see them pass her course. She provides alot of extra credit to help boost your grade, and it will as long as you do them correctly! She is lenient when it comes to late work just talk to her, and you'll be fine. The test are difficult and the course work can be alot so time manage
Save yourself some trouble & take Prof. Engel. She clearly explains the material, & all you have to do is follow the PPts & do the reviews & you'll be set. Exams weren't tough, especially the first one. Just study & put some effort & you'll be good. Nobody should complain bout her bc she is one of the best and understanding Profs. Thank you Prof. E
Professor Engel is seriously one of the best professors. She gives a lot of extra credit and her lectures and PowerPoint's are easy to understand. Her study guides are also very helpful. Even though it was a summer class and fast paced, she made everything easy. Definitely take her!
Absolutely enjoyed taking this class - *took it for fun just to learn more about nutrition*, but Professor Engel made understanding the basics of nutrition well worth your time. A lot of material covered, but just study! It's all in the powerpoint slides & she gives extra credit. Very patient with students & understands any emergencies you may have
I took an accelerated NUTR 101 with Prof. Engel. It was certainly a difficult class, but she made her easy. She gives numerous extra credit opportunities. Because it was an fast-paced class, we were under too much pressure. I recommend students to take her normal class instead of fast-paced if you cannot take too much pressure though I got an A. :)
I needed to take a nutrition credit for nursing programs, and Professor Engel was helpful, caring, and invested in my learning. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, because she is quick to respond and easy to work with! Highly recommend to anyone in the nutrition and/or biological fields.
Although I got a C in the class, Professor Engel resulted to be such a patient and helping professor. I took Nutrition online and throughout the semester I had to leave back home and she was really understanding about it. It's one of those things in a professor that you really appreciate when having trouble. Would definitely take again, for sure.
She is very unorganized and unclear in her lectures. The exams are very hard and almost impossible to pass any. My friend had the same class but didn't have to work as hard as me and did better. She does not do a good job in explaining the content and helping the students understand.
I took this class as a nursing prereq & thanks to Professor Engel, I am about applying for Nutrition as a second Major. She gives Extra credit & her exams come from only her Ppt lectures. Each class she revises what has been done before. I don't understand the bad reviews but it is almost impossible to fail her class. Take her! She's the best!
Professor Engle was a great teacher. I would highly recommend taking her if you plan on taking Nutrition 101. I had a great time in the class and learned a lot. She is also very responsive and helpful if you are having trouble with anything. She always encourages people to ask question and make sure that they understand the material. 10/10
Professor Engel is a tough grader. Even if you show up everyday and try, she will still fail you if you don't pass her exams. Her exams are too long, averaging between 150-200 questions. She also makes her take home exams as hard as possible. I read the book but there is too much material to remember. I would not recommend this class. Horrible
I am honestly not sure why she has a 4.6 rating. I asked her a question and she was not very respectful to me. Nutrition is very important and when you teach nutrion you need to teach it with compassion!!!!
I took NUTR 101 with Pr. Engel and she was a great professor as well as the person. She would always stay 10-15 mins after the class to answer all the questions and was always easily accessible outside the class. Getting an "A" in her class, I can definitely say that it is possible!
I enjoyed Prof Engel's online nutrition class. I was lucky to take her last summer online class for Nutrition. All the rumors you hear about online classes are true especially for this one. I can only imagine how it is during a regular semester with the level of content you have to study and review. With this being said, PREPARE TO WORK FOR AN A!
Prof. Engel wants her students to succeed! She is kind, caring, and dedicated towards her students. I asked her to write a letter of recommendation for me and she did it with such short notice and such busy schedule. Also, she has taught me things that have stuck with me forever, because of her, I now know how to properly read a nutrition label.
Professor Engel gives every opportunity to succeed in this class. There is alot to learn, but she only teaches what she feels is important to know.
Recipe for the easiest A you'll ever get: TAKE ANY BIO CLASS B/4 TAKING THIS CLASS! Besides the stuff you know from Bio101+, this class is a breeze. Prof. Engel was really fun and easygoing. She did give quizzes right after some lectures and homework is basicaly busy work, but plenty of EC opportunities. BTW, Wordings on test Q's can be confusing.
She says at the beginning of the semester that the average of the class is low which is something a teacher shouldnt do. Made me feel like there was no way to get above a C no matter how hard I tried. She isnt willing to think that it is her teaching that makes the average on every test so low. Way too much material on each test.
Her lectures are clear, which makes the class way easier. I would take her again if I could. She is an amazing person with a great personality. I loved the class environment and the way she taught the material. There's no way to fail her class. Plus, she gives lots of extra credits throughout the semester.
She is a cool person, but makes you work for an A. But she really wants to teach and have her students learn the material. She puts a lot of time into her power points and into reviews for exams. Very caring about her students and wants them to learn and be successful. Gives so much extra credit and it adds up when it matters !
This class is pretty heavy. There are about 3 exams, lots of mini quizzes, and the final; they're all pretty difficult. If you don't follow up with the reading you will drown in this class. Overall, Professor Engel is very knowledgeable. She updates grades fast and gives a lot of feedback. She also replies pretty fast to emails. It's a tough class.
Amazing! Took only one 8am this year and was glad to have Dr. Engel. Was a good start to my day and learned a lot. Class is easy and interactive as long as you read.
She is an amazing professor and person! The class she taught was really difficult (nutrition) for anyone with a disability. However, the fact that she cared made it a lot easier. She really is one of a kind and I wish MC had more teachers like her. don't get me wrong, you must try too. However, If you put in the effort to care... she will too!
Professor Engel is truly great in what she does. At first, I wasn't sure if I would succeed on this Summer class, because it's a dense subject. But, honestly, she really gives a lot of resources to help her students. She will give plenty of EC's, will provide audio files, videos, and whatever is needed for the student to succeed.
Amazing Professor! Shes passionate and loves teaching! Really gives you everything you need to succeed in the class. Dont pass up the extra credit opportunities because they make a big difference in the end!
Prof Engel was a great professor. The class itself has a lot of memorization and info but she makes it easy to understand and does whatever she can to help it make sense. Lots of extra credit, do it because it helps in the end. Audio files and exam review are great for revision. The info mentioned in class does show up on exams. Highly recommend.
Professor Engel is a great professor. She is kind and caring and really knows what shes talking about. Even though attendance is optional, I advice not skipping because she gives open note quizzes and the material we cover is very important. She responds to emails promptly and is available outside of class. She also gives lots of extra credit!
Professor Engel is amazing! I took this as an accelerated course and loved it. There was a lot of work which was expected because the class was only half a semester. She gives A TON of extra credit handouts so be sure to do those and the EC quizzes. If she sees you tried and came to class she could bump your grade up a little. OVERALL AMAZING!
Dorelle Engels is a great teacher. She gives many opportunities for students to do well in her class, such as extra credit and optional quizzes. Her lectures are always interesting because she teaches only the things that are important and relevant. There are exam reviews for all her tests and she responds quickly to emails. Highly recommended.
On-Campus Summer Course PROS - Shows up on time - Responds to email quickly - Grades assignments the day they're turned in - Lots of extra credit and optional quizzes - Makes attendance optional - Creates audio files, study guides, and lecture slides with topics that show up on the exams CONS - Pop Quizzes (She does cover the topics)
Shes an amazing teacher, Have to come the class and pay attention. Then you will do good on this class.
She does not care for a student. She gives you a lot of quizzes to finish in less time. All she wants to do is stress you out. If you want to struggle, take her; if not, stay away.
Dr. Engel does all she can to try and help her students with this fast-paced class. She is always available to help all her students and even will call you to help you. The class is hard no matter who you take it with, especially if it is an online class, but she gives you so many chances to do extra credit work which can boost your grade a lot.
She goes out of her way to make sure that students are doing well. Her lectures are a bit dry, but that is mostly because of the material itself being a little dry and boring at times. She can be a little repetitive herself though, but overall her lectures are good. She tends to be very good with reminding students of deadlines when appropriate too
She goes over only the material we need to know for quizzes and tests which is really helpful. She gave plenty of extra credit all through the semester that really helps your grade out in the end. She is very nice and always reminds us of upcoming deadlines.
This class was a easy A if you pay attention in class and do all the extra credits!! In the end the extra credits really helped me. In this class she has 3 big exams and then mini assignments with every new chapter. The mini assignments are confusing but she still is a great choice if youre willing to put the work in!
Im not the best student and with Covid, etc. seemed much harder this semester. Dr. Engel really helped me through this and even provided helpful ideas to power through my other courses. A real life saver and nice person overall. The coursework requires the textbook but its an interesting read on topics I actually learned from / found interesting.
I love Prof Engel she was such a gem to be in class with. She is so relatable and isn't afraid to be that way with the students. There were a few times I stayed after class just to talk to her. She will do whatever in her power to help you succeed and it is refreshing to see that in a professor at MC. She is funny, to the point, clear and relatable
Take her and you won't regret it!
Very solid professor. Gives tons of extra credit points, lectures are pretty engaging. She values participation a lot. The exams are honestly pretty challenging; however, if you study and put time into the class, you should walk out with an easy A.
I too Professor Engel's nutrition class in the summer. It was understandably dense as we only had 6 weeks, however, Professor Engel made sure to give out a veritable boatload of extra credit. Most I've seen in any course. She is also very understanding and a charming and enjoyable lecturer. If you do the work it's impossible to get lower than a B.
Take the extra credits to bump your grade. Good lectures. Not a hard class, showing up matters. Use slides + book to take exam notes. Good teacher
Professor Engel is a great professor. She gives out a lot of extra credit which is very helpful with both grades and information to take in. Her lectures and slides are well provided for the course, along with her being really caring towards her students and always asking about their opinions. Overall, I would gladly take a class of her's again. :)
Dr. Engel gave out a lot of extra credit. DO IT ALL. She sometimes gave you some points for participating or being on time. There were some 1 or 2 question quizzes during class. They are so easy. Highly recommend her.
By far one of the most understanding, accommodating professors. Professor made sure if we were overwhelmed or didn't understand something that it was okay to ask for help whilst giving an ample amount of extra credit that could easily help boost your grade highly recommend her
I enjoyed my time in her class. I really looked forward to class every week. She gives lots of opportunity for extra credit. I would love to have her as my professor again.
Taking the accelerated course may not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally I enjoyed it a lot. I had a small class and since it was small the lectures felt more fluid and clearer. Though the lack of others in the class would also add to the overall class experience.
Took the DL accelerated summer course, honestly despite this being a science course, it wasn't too bad. Yes it was A LOT, and took time and dedication, but as long as you keep up and study, you'll be fine. The professor gave out A LOT of extra credit, which really helps! Had 3 exams, 1 group project, discussions and quizzes. Great professor!!
I love taking NUTR101 with Professor Engel. I managed to get an A by completing many extra credit assignments she gave. Make sure you READ the textbook when you are in a new topic, it will make you comprehend her presentation much better.
Prof. Engel is very passionate and knowledgable about the subject and that shows in her lectures. As long as you are on time to class and show that you care she helps out a lot and even gives you lots of extra credit opportunities. She really wants her to students to succeed and that shows. I highly reccommend her.
There is a lot of information taught at once which can be overwhelming. Her lessons move quickly but she is a good teacher and always gives extra credit opportunities. She makes slideshows for every lesson which students have access to, very helpful!
Nutrition is a pretty heavily dense, but she explains the information pretty well in her lectures. There's also tons of extra credit, and she lets you have a cheat sheet on the exam! For attendance there's an in-class quiz (1-3 sort of easy questions) where you can communicate with people around you. Overall, I had a pretty good experience!
3 exams the first 2 exams are around 55 questions, and the final is 75 questions. There are a lot of extra credit opportunities, but they are not worth much and are very daunting. I had to teach myself everything in this class. It felt like I was in the Hunger Games.
Prof. Engel makes this class as easy as she can. She provides many opportunities for extra credits and in-class quizzes to keep the class as interactive as possible while boosting your grade. All lectures are accessible on blackboard and if you email her she'll respond promptly. I'm not a science person but I enjoyed learning in this class.
Professor Engle is a great teacher. A model teacher even, as she is literally on the home screen of the Montgomery College website. She gives lots of extra credit to supplement the exams, however if you pay attention and take notes in class you wont even need them. If you put in effort she will recognize it.
Professor Engel was great. Around 55 extra credit points to boost your grade. 2 exams and 1 final. The exams were a little hard but not impossible. She also lets us have a cheat sheet on exams. Funny at times.
Professor Engel makes the class one of the most passible classes I have ever taken. She's clear in her topics, doesn't read of the slides, and gives examples on the topic. Crazy amount of optional extra credits. Exams were exactly on the material (slides). I recommend taking her! but don't think you can breeze through it; hard work matters too.
Loved her class! Class is interesting if you like science and the slides are exactly like the exam. Do the work and come to class, you should be good. Extra credits are nice. There is a decent amount of group work but easy.
My advise to you if you want to pass this class is to attend all lectures.She gives lots of extra credit which is good if you're not so good at sciences,also listen to her instructions on blackboard I got a C and I'm happy with that grade because I used to be an F student,matter of fact my first exam i got an F
Took professor Engel summer nutrition class and didnt regret it. Though it was alot of reading and assignments( which is normal for all summer classes), she made sure to remind us of important due dates and uses the calender to help us keep track of assignment. she replies to emails fast and is always ready and willing to help if needed.
online summer science. fast but managable. Very nice prof. She made interesting. answers emails right away. Organized, even tho lots to do, she sends emails and its on the calendar. Do everything to do. Tons of extra credits. Do them all, they help get it and raised me a grade up! Take her!
Took this during Summer 1 accelerated. Lots of work as it's fast paced but manageable. She replies to her emails very quickly, sends out reminders, and LOTS of extra credit. the extra credits helped my grade go up, do them! cheat sheet also allowed on exams.
Professor Engel's NUTR101 class is manageable with the right approach. Lots of extra credit opportunities and helpful resources like Unstuck study make this an engaging class.
Loved this professor! Engel has exam reviews that say what to know and practice questions. She repeats things alot. Was not as boring as I thought but you have to study. Every class attendance quizes. Alot of extra credit which helped my grade. Take her!
To be fair she is a good professor, and tries her best to make lectures engaging. However, she is a tough grader, gives a lot of work and never extend any assignment unless for college blackboard technical issues. She does give A LOT of extra credits opportunities but they have due date like regular homework. BE AWARE OF POP QUIZZES!!!!
prof engel is great! She was the nicest! Class isn't that hard lots of extra credits. Just study for exams and do the other work but if you're a slacker it won't be as easy
I took professor Engel for spring 2025 and let me tell you, she is amazing! She's such a sweet and caring professor. There are MANY extra credit opportunities to help you raise your grade if you need it. She also allows cheat sheets for exams! I would recommend professor Engel to anyone.
She gives tons of extra credit opportunities don't take them for granted. She covers the topics well and the exams aren't so difficult. (She allows you to bring a cheat sheet to help!) Take notes, use her study guides, do the assignments, and you'll be good. She's also a very nice person so go to her office if you ever need help.
points deducted by few things Lecture heavy
Professor Engle's Summer I accelerated course was a great experience. Her clear instructions made everything easy to follow. Quizzes and discussions were weekly, and the two exams were very manageable if you keep up with the readings. She responds quickly, gives generous extra credit, and truly cares about her students. Take her class!
She was a great professor. Do the work and enjoy the class. Very caring.
She's always there for students. She's really flexible. Exams pretty hard but gives opportunities to get a good grade from homework and quizzes and extra credit. Take advantage of that. Attendance mandatory because sometimes has quizzes at the end of class that are only open at that time and counts as attendance. Good overall and would recommend.
Easy homework. Good lecture.
Be prepared for this class as its probably the hardest 100 level class I've taken at my 2 years at MC. She's a wonderful person and clearly cares about her job and students but way too much information is packed into the course. MC should market this as a bio-nutr class because that's what it turns into by mid-semester
