Very challenging course as presented by this instructor. Independent study is needed to supplement course materials.
Dont take this class in the summer she will fit 14wks of work into 7 beleive me half the class dropped before the date
If you are taking this class, thinking it is going to be easy-THINK AGAIN! Challenging, but if you read the book and handouts, it is easy and interesting. Get ready to work for it though. Start your Diet Analysis early--don't put it off. Fran always had intelligent comments and she was quick to respond (internet class)
She was my online professor. She was difficult but very fair and upfront about how she would conduct the class.
Taking this class it seems like she thinks this is the only thing that you are doing in your life. Very hard if you are working and have a life too.
I thought the class itself was very interesting, but i did not like her as a teacher she was very rude when she emails you back if you ask her a question and she does not explain very well
I would not take her class again if they paid me.
She is exceptionally rude with her emails. Somewhat unfair in her grading practices. Takes forever to grade assignments. She can't spell. Easy class though. Lots of useless work that you don't learn anything from. Don't recommend her, but she is the only option for online Diet 111.
she is very hard give a lot of assignment for no need. i wont refer her to no one.
Tookthis proffesor online, not very difficult, but she gives a lot of assignments...many times three due in a week.. Would not take her ewith any other classes in the summer...Work on diet anaysis early..takes about 30-40 hours to do to get a good grade...Make sure you read her instructiins for assignments carefully could cost you major points...
She is actually a great teacher who knows her field of study. I took an online class and she demands a ton from you as a student. But she wants everyone to excel. Stay on top of the readings and do all the prep work during the week and for the tests and the test become extremely easy. Pace yourself at a good pace . Do projects early. You will be ok
This is teacher is a pro in her field. She knows her stuff n is very organize. Do not take this course in the summer-too many assignments. Use the text just for review. but study her power points back and forth- they are practically the test. I assure u not only will be drain by the end of the semester but u will have nutritional knowledge 4 life.
Took her online class because I has other obligations (two jobs plus two other difficult classes). This class however, took up ALL MY TIME! It was hard to focus on other classes. Easy to pass if you stay on top of all the assignments but you'll have A LOT on your plate.
I took this class on-line and it was great. The forums actually have a point and you learn from doing/reading them. If you start diet analysis right away, you should be fine. Great class, she is really good at teaching on-line.
I took this class online and it was very difficult juggling fulltime employment and this class with yet another class.Required to make 5postings in an online forum in order to obtain high grade.She will give extensions on assignments but heavily penalizes for lateness HOWEVER she is VERY slow in returning assignments.Not bad but glad class is done.
Fran is great.There is a lot of work for the class, but it's not really challenging just time consuming.I would gladly take another class of hers.
I thought I was in good standing through out the class,only to be forced to drop because I was admitted to the hospital for a week. This professor was completely rude and did not show any sympathy despite all of my proof.She would not extend my assignments and took off points because I did not go online five times that week. Punished for being ill
she make class so interesting and shes very helpful.She's incredibly sweet would take any of her classes again
WORST OF ALL TIMES, NO CONSIDERATION FOR NOBODY, JUMP FROM ONE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER. SHOWS A LOT OF FAVORITISM.
I took the class online. Fran requires you to log in 5 days per week, does not give you the flexibility of an online class. Lots of tedious work. Oh, she is also really into cats. REALLY into cats.
I am taking her online course and she is awful! She failed me on everything so far because I posted things in the same day! "The work is good, origional grade 9, however you made both your posts in one day current grade 5". NO CONSIDERATION! She says you need to spend 9 hours a week in her online course I spend 9hours a DAY!
Fran knows her stuff. Class appears easy, but then come the special projects from hell. Fran is nit-picky, but it's her class so, oh well. The good thing is you can take numerous quizzes 2 or 3 times (I don't remember) to help boost your grade. The exams are not too bad since everything does come from the text. I recommend her but beware.
THIS TEACH IS NOT HARD. SHE REALLY GIVES A LOT OF WORK AND REQUIRES YOU TO DO IT HOW SHE WANT IT. SHE CUTS NO CURVES. SHE DO GIVE 1, 2, AND 3 POINT EXTRA CREDIT QUESTIONS HERE AND THERE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT WRITE 8 SENTENCES FOR YOUR FOURMS YOU WILL RECIEVE A F. HER DIET ANALYSIS IS ALSO THE WORST PROJECT OF ALL THE DIET PROFESSORS I HAVE SEEN
HI everyone, I am not satisfied with the way Fran Luciciak teaches her course. I feel she is overly concerned with insignificant factors and not the actual learning material. I also received an F for same day posts. Very inconsiderated of students needs. I am wondering if any students would like to assist in signing a petition with me on this.
HORRIBLE!!! Do not take online!!!!
I would also not recommend Fran Luciacak. She is terribly unsociable, grades unfairly, difficult, rude. She should not be the only on-line instr. for this course. I am trying to set up a panel/w petition for discussion on her as an instructor. If you would like to be heard on your exper. in her course please post your e-mail for me to contact you.
Terrible terrible instructor! Unfair, tedious, obnoxious, inconsiderate. Very spiteful & devious person, make your grade suffer for her personal gratification. Anyone inter. in joing complaint, Plz email me @ [email protected]. It would be a collaborative effort for us to get some better results & acton as a group. Thank U.
First off, if taking this during the summer, be prepared to work. This class requires a lot of time. During a six week class I spent several hours per day on this class. The work is not hard but tedious. Start your diet analysis early, it is a very easy project. Give yourself a week or two to adjust to her teaching style.
I have a Bachelors and a Masters degree (and a 4.0 GPA) and this is one of the hardest As I've ever worked for. Her class is ridiculous. Far too much information being thrown out at once to actually learn anything. Also, she skips around all over the place with 500 projects going on at once, which just results in confusion. Be organized or die.
This Professor is horrible I want my money refunded...to take another diet instructor. She don't lecture, spiteful, inconsiderate and very abnoxious about work she do not explain...ccp needs to do something about her she is awful...awful....awful......
IF U R A PARENT N HAVE FULL-TIME WORK ALONG W/ OTHER CLASSES YOU ARE IN FOR A RUN. I THINK ANYONE COULD DO IT BUT IT WILL BE TOUGH. I PUT MY OTHER CLASSES ON THE BACK BURNER BY DOING MY PAPERS AT THE LAST SEC, IT WORKED FOR THE MOST PART BUT NOT SO MUCH AT THE END. GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT ONLINE LIKE ME :/
I found this class to be very informative. True, it's more time consuming than other classes. But I think Fran does a good job with preparing you for the exams. Good PP material and study guide Q's: Good text. Fair so long as you stay on top of everything. Don't slack off. Be genuinely interested and she will be very helpful.
i took this class online and it was horrible. She never clearly stated what chapter she was on. She jumped from different topics. She gave notes and notes was not on the test. When i take this class again, ut will not be with her.
I was worried when I first saw I had her because of the comments on here. She REALLY is not THAT bad. If you keep up with the assignments she gives you, you should be ok. Her class IS very time consuming. As for her test, they arent that hard. Just study the main points of the chapter, as her powerpoints do not fully prepare you for them.
Not a bad class at all. Took her class online. If you stay on top of your work this class is a breeze. She does not offer any make-ups; a con. Projects are very easy.
Easy class, but there's A LOT of assignments. Do the reading. I would recommend this class.
Taking her class right now online. Very hard teacher i am also in anatomy 2. This class takes alotttttttt of time and effort. She gives you way too much info and expects you to memorize every little detail.. she tells you you should spend atleast 9 hrs a week i spend 9 hrs a day i think, breathe, eat, sleep nutrition. would not reccomend her
Fran's class was a nightmare! I took it online and had to drop it because it was wayyyy too time consuming. She is very nit picky when grading forums and the material she posts to "prepare" you for the tests does not help at all.
Fran is the worst teacher I have ever had at CCP. Nutrition is supposed to be interesting and easy, but unfortunately, it wasn't that at all because of her! She never fully explains exactly what she wants, and there are way too many assignments to be completed at once. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!
She is a ridiculous grader when it comes to the forums. Tests were pretty challenging but I still manage to get a B pretty easily. Just do well on your first 2-3 exams and iprofile and you will be fine. Will not take her again because she seems to be a useless teacher. This is coming from someone who actually did well in her class.
This lady is awful if there were any other way to take this class but online I would she is an absolute awful teacher. if you have any other choice for a teacher take it I'm warning you verything you do will be wrong
The absolute worst professor ever. I received points off for getting a question wrong on the test and went to Fran to ask her the same question she put on the test. She gave me the same answer I put which was wrong. She did not know the answer and had to search the "Nutrition Now' textbook. She couldn't prove why my answer was wrong.no points
going to commit suicide now. worst professor. narrowminded old lady who teaches nutition but drinks coke in class
Terrible online course experience. She was completely unfair in grading and her responses were always late and quite rude. The chapters were all over the place. If taking online, please know she will give you a 16 question quiz and only allow you 18 minutes to do it! completely unfair! She also gave a huge amount of work for very little points.
worst teacher , do not take her
Very tough, follow her instructions very closely!!! A ton of work and is very time consuming!!! Not enough time to complete tests!! I got a B...I would ONLY recommend her if you had no other choice!!! Good Luck!!
Not really a helpful teacher and I have a feeling that this teacher doesn't really care for her students' success. I got sick and could not do her assignments so my grade dropped after the 2nd week of class and she dropped me without saying anything before or after she dropped me. Really rude!
Don't turn anything late in because she'll just give you a 0. She took off points for having one word too many in the word count. She took off points for forgetting to ask a question after one of our discussion points. The list goes on. I got a 89.9 and she refused to answer my email about double checking because I was .1 pt away from an A!
Very strict and inconsiderate
This was my first online course. Fran had the material laid out and gave me clear expectations right from the start. As long as I completed assignments and did the work, it was easy to get an A. Fran was very helpful anytime I needed help and responded quickly to my emails. Two long projects, but plenty of time to complete them.
You have to read the textbook no way around it. Test are short, if test is 15questions then she gives you 20mins to take. She gives extra credit, take advantage of it. Do all the assignments and forums.
Fran is clear on what she expects. At first she seems tough, but she is fair and gives 2 points for being on time which really help out in the end. She gives a reasonable amount of work per week and even extends time on certain topics. If you are focuses and willing to work, she is a great teacher.
Please, do not take this course in the summer. I took it with Anatomy and have had to spend all my days and nights in this class. She does not grade assignments in a timely manner. I have a 4.0, and this is the hardest class I have ever taken. Do not take online. Please take my word for it. She expects 18-24 hours per week in this class. Unreal.
SHE IS ONE OF THE WORST TEACHERS I HAVE EVVVVVER HAD AND VERY SARCASTIC WHEN YOU ASK HER A QUESTION. MAKES YOU NOT WANT TO EVEN ASK HER ANYTHING. JUST LIKE SOMEONE SAID PREVIOUSLY EVEN IF YOU ARE OVER 3 WORDS SHE WILL TAKE HALF OF YOUR POINTS. BEWARE DO NOT TAKE HER.
Absolutely the worst teacher ever, she is so inconsiderate.
WAAAY too much BUSY work for a basic 101 course. Many components to each assignment due throughout the entire week all with different due dates. Yes, her syllabus is clear and laid out but you must check HER calendar and Canvas DAILY for due dates. Doesn't give enough time for tests. I wouldn't take her again.
Took this class online and she didn't interact with the class, therefore you're teaching yourself by just reading the text. Her format is not engaging at all. Very tough grader, make sure to follow her format/instructions to the T. One of the worst classes I've ever taken.
VERY tough grader for an online course. Presents material in organized manner but not very clear on expectations. Does not grade in a timely fashion therefore you cannot use feedback to improve on next assignment. Would NOT recommend this professor. Expect to read the entire textbook on your own and memorize the most minor details for timed tests
She is not always clear on her assignments, she take to long to grade assignment, she does not grade fair , and she is the only teacher for AH 260
AVOID AVOID AVOID, she is the worst professor I ever had, very unfair when it comes to grading.
While I'm trying to figure out why is she even still a teacher, she is the worst of the worst. She stays contradicting herself by saying one thing in class then its something totally different online. She is the worst teacher I've had and makes me not want to ever recommend anyone here for HSM degree. I regret wasting my money @ ccp because of her.
Horrible. She sucks the life out of something that could be fun and interesting. There is no way that diet and nutrition should be more difficult than major sciences! And the "group" project is a joke! All the work you do and you wind up with a partial grade of the total groups score what kind of foolishness is that!
Fran taught a great class, but requires you to work. No more then I would expect from a college level course. Make sure to own attention to the calendar & syllabus, and take advantage of all the extra credit (25 points throughout the semester). In reference to others complaints: it's not THAT much work, and if you follow directions you do well.
took her for diet 111 online summer course and it was an easy A. just do the work and extra credit which she gives a lot of. also she does include one group project but as long as the works split up it was super easy.
The Professor surely makes you work for your grade. Seems like she waits till the last minute for the long drawn out assignments that know one has time for Really Lady you need to get a LIFE!
Her comments and grading on papers are rude and given with attitude... seems like she is very knit picky and you almost have to read her mind to get full credit. I have been docked points for too much information given and not enough information. and who assigns a group project for an online class?! the worst.
I have never thought of dropping an online class till I took this class. She is a very tough grader and never satisfied with your assignment. Her feedbacks are sometimes rude. Be ready to work 10 times than a normal classroom course, submit your work on time else she will deduct points. If you don't have time please don't take this class.
Fran as she likes to be called is a tough grader but if you follow her instructions exactly you will be fine. She seems stern and really straightforward online but is as sweet as pie in person. There is a lot of reading involved and its extremely fast paced. There is a test weekly and a final. This class is harder than people think. Be on time.
The class is very interesting and you can learn a lot if you can get over the whole "tough Professor" thing. Professor is a very tough, critical grader. She even criticizes you for your opinion. I work hard should have gotten an A, I only got a B due to her tough grading. She seems bothered by anything you ask her... take her only if NECESSARY....
Absolutely horrible & should be reported to the board of directors. Doesnt grade ongoing assignments in a timely fashion, very critical for this level of coursing, wont excuse a 5 minute lateness for healthcare emergencies, little interaction with the class, & should consider retirement. Unbelievable!
Like everyone said here, VERY (unnecessary) tough grader! It's A LOT of homework to do and it is harder than you think. Overall I learned a lot and loved the class itself but wouldn't recommend this teacher that much. The assignments are very confusingly written. If you can, avoid taking her class.
I took this class online. I've learned a lot from reading the textbook. There's homework due every week. It might seem overwhelming, but if you can manage your time accordingly, you will do fine. Test and quizzes are graded electronically. She only grade you on your projects and discussions. Her comments are a bit rude, but maybe I read it wrong.
If you take Diet 106 online try to do well on your tests and assignments that are on Connect. As soon as this professor gives her own assignments to students, your grade will drop with each one she gives. My best advice is to read the book and learn as much as you can. Her instructions are designed for you to fail.
Not much of a teacher. Basically teaching yourself. Rambles in class and expects us to know what we are being quizzed on. Not sure how she is still employed. Has a bit of an attitude when you ask class related questions.
I took this class online and she dropped me. I don't understand how she is still employed here and how she is also the only one who teaches this class. I will never recommend her to anyone. There is a lot of work that you have to do. Like others said, to much work for a basic class. And she is very picky about how she wants the work to be done.
I would not recommend this teacher , she is awful to communicate with, she does not help what so ever , you dont understand nothing she teaches , if you read the book then you would understand but her class itself you would be so lost. She does not see the effort you put!!
Absolutely awful teacher. I had one small technical issue with an assignment and it dropped my grade permanently about two letters, from an A to a C. When asked if I could resubmit just for the sake of not getting a 0 on the assignment, she informed me there was nothing I could do. Online group assignments should not be a thing. She's a bad teacher
BEWARE, she will tell you the semester is over and that you don't need to come to class, but then she'll give you a huge grade altering assignment that will destroy your grade. Also, she gives A LOT of homework, so much homework that I could barley find time to study for the one other class that I had. The amount of homework is 3 other classes.
She's so extra!! takes her job way too seriously. Grades with a heavy hand, very critical over the tiniest things. Not understanding at all!! DONT TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
Amazing professor! Gives great feedback! The assignments were always directed to what you are learning at the time so there will be no surprises! You will genuinely learn a lot. There is a midterm, and a final multiple questions but if you understand the material should be fairly easy. I would take her again!
When I failed my introductory assignment because I didnt discuss my own self thoroughly enough for her, I knew I was in for it. Shes a tough grader, and picks and chooses whats an acceptable answer. She never answers questions and insults you for asking questions to begin with because its so clear in the syllabus. Youll teach yourself.
Her course combines of homework, test, pre-course and post-course test, individual and group project. Group project does not help for studying. Her assignment instruction is confusing and when you ask for an explain, she would tell you to read again. She does gives extra credits but if you dont study well, you could hardly earn a good grade.
Professor Lukacik has by far been the best professor Ive had for online courses. Unlike other professors, she actually cares about students submitting their work on time & sends out general messages to the class reminding everyone that assignment A is due soon & also personal messages to students who havent submitted work yet thats due soon.
Absolute horrendous professor. From the syllabus on the first day, you could tell she was the most arrogant person alive. She claims she gives clear instructions but they are simply no where to be found. Overly brutal for the food journal and question sets. Full of herself and does not take advice well to try to make her class better. Avoid!!!!!
By far the most APATHETIC instructor that I have encountered. She does not care for her students well-being. In addition to this, she gives an excessive amount of hw & exams. I would pick another professor by any means necessary. She is condescending & full of herself. My family member passed away from COVID. She showed no remorse.
she gives the worst instructions. the instructions look simple but when you follow it she still manages to take off points from your grade. I wouldnt even consider her a tough grader she just doesnt grade based on what the instructions asks for. if you want her to explain something she will just restate what her direction says. no help at all.
She is not clear with instructions at all . Gives no clarity nor does she give any guidance herself!
BY FAR THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! HER INSTRUCTIONS SUCK. HER GRADING SYSTEM SUCK. SHE WILL NOT WORK WITH YOU. SHE DOES NOT EXPLAIN OR TEACH ANYTHING ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS ONLINE. SHE EXPECTS US TO KNOW IT SHE FAILED ME ON A QUIZ ON A "GET TO KNOW ME" DO NOT TAKE HER!!! I AM GOOD STUDENT WITH GOOD GRADES BUT HER CLASS MADE ME CRY/
Worst professor. Not clear with directions & gets upset when you dont understand. we have respond lectures & I answer the questions she asks but she still deduct points because you didnt go into detail even when its not in the directions, even when u go into detail she still take points off. It was very hard to get ur grade up. DO NOT TAKE !!
You barely learn anything in this class, you teach yourself. You will have test and quizzes and wont know anything about it because she never went over or teaches it in class. Even if she wants to teach ourselves she doesnt tell us beforehand the chapter were on and what we are supposed to read and look over. stay away if you can!! just horrible
It was very hard understanding assignments and projects. She explained it in words I did not understand.
Teacher was fair, but she gives alot of work. If you show up and do the work, you will be fine.
This professor is terrible. I was an honor student until I took her course. She changes due dates without notifying the class. Then when you submit on the due date she message you and says its late and deduct points off of your hard work. She has a nasty attitude when you don't submit work on time even if she made the mistake herself. Stay far away
Horrible professor. Not worth taking this class unless you want to waste time writing "fact" based papers on things you made up just to meet her ridiculous criteria. I received a B- because I decided not to write the final report she assigned because it is such a waste of time. Don't be like me, avoid Fran.
I really am confused by all these low scores. Professor Fran is beyond helpful. She actually cares and takes life situations into consideration. She is professional and fair. Show up and particpate in class. It's that simple. My only complaint is the group project because other classmates didn't want to do it. I will be taking her for Nutrition!
The workload was heavy and she was very particular about how she wanted assignments completed. She gives good feedback and isn't hard to get in contact with when needed. Clear cirrucium
Very harsh grading . If the work is not up to her liking she takes points off. The PowerPoints she gives have nothing to do with the test/quizzes. Heavy workload, one test be on 6 different materials. A nutrition class should not be this hard and difficult.
I felt like I was in English class. Assignment grades were heavily deducted over extremely minor grammar errors?? Every assignment I did I felt like I was getting an essay graded and not graded for the actual work I studied for. PowerPoints rarely correlated with test and quizzes. Test heavy!
Poor instructions and the worst teaching style. Will not take her again! She thinks she is above everyone.
I had a horrible experience in this class. She was the most apathetic person I've ever met. She didn't care if you were sick, work was expected to be submitted by the deadline. She doesn't give clear instructions on assignments, her feedback is vague and her grading criteria doesn't make sense. She basically grades on opinion. Do not take her!
Had her for a nutrition 106.She will go out of her way to get you anything that isn't a perfect grade. Did an easy get to know you paper and she took half of the POINTS off because I left the part that asked if I needed accommodations blank.She could've used her critical thinking skills and assumed I didn't need any.But anything to take points off.
OMG, this professor is the worst I've ever had. She's nasty, disorganized and her assignments and syllabus are unclear. Her grading deductions are unreasonable and disgusting causing me to leave CCP due to stress to a different school. Despite my hard work!! I've never ever had a C in any of grades only with her! DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER COURSES!
With this class be prepared to read and do a lot of test and homework assignments, it is not easy online if you are a fast learner then you will be fine. I would not recommend taking this class.
Took her class twice(D2B). Once in Spring 2024 and then in Fall 2024(online). Her in person class was terrible, it was really hard for me to grasp anything because it's very boring and not that engaging. She's extremely picky on the writing assignments but the test aren't so bad. I would reccomend her online class, I got a B when I redid the class.
Francine's class is tough, but unstuck study helped me stay on top of the material. The lectures can be unclear, but going to office hours and using the free textbook made a big difference. Overall, the workload is heavy, but manageable with the right study strategies.
The topic was not hard; however, she gave so much work that it was overwhelming. The student was taught to prepare to present in person and online.
Worst teacher I've ever had. Had to take her nutrition class & she is awful. An EXTREMELY picky grader w/o any room for imperfection. Doesn't seem to care if you have obligations to work or other classes. She assigns something due one day, but expect it to be done 3 days prior. Comments on work, you give your justification, she doesn't respond.
This professor was very hard to work with. I failed my class due to unclear communication on exactly what needed to be done. Responded back to emails in an untimely manner. The class wasn't interesting at all, which I thought it would be. I wouldn't recommend this professor, especially if you have a lot going on, you will need tutor.
