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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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'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.

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
