LOTS OF READING MATERIAL! Class not mandatory but recommended since she doesn't post the entire lecture on-line. Soft spoken, so sit up close. Always willing to help and answer questions. Should be an easy A, just go to class, take good notes and do the assignments as best you can.

She is a nice professor. There are 3 cases studies that you need to do with your group, 2 midterm exams,s, and 1 final. She provides a study guide and allows a cheat sheet so make sure you prepare for it. Just review lecture slides, make cheat sheet with a study guide and you will pass with an A

Professor Devine was a great professor!! She is very passionate about nutrition, which makes learning it fun. She is always willing to answer any questions you might have. Her exams can be a little difficult but doing the study guides will definitely help. Also, there is an online textbook you must purchase for like $70 so just a heads up!

Prof. Devine is amazing! I couldn't recommend her more. The class is easy, but super informative. I was surprised by how much I've learned! We have some assignments during the semester, in-class activities and 4 exams. She makes accommodations for students that might feel triggered by some assignments or lectures about eating disorders. Love her!

Professor Devine is an amazing professor. I loved this class, and I learned so much. The hw is assigned through an outside source, but as long as you do it, it's an automatic 100%. Just study for the exams and you'll do fine! I highly recommend her!!!

Despite the class being an in-person class and having beach board, you'll have to pay 69 dollars for the online textbook and homework that comes with it. Studying the study guides and doing the homework for the tests will lead to passing the tests. Powerpoints are on beach board but some information is said in class and left out on the slides.

It is basically impossible to not get 100% on all homework assignments. I didn't read the book, I looked at her slides and chapter summary and did well on every test. She randomly takes attendance and randomly has participation assignments in class that affects your grade, but she is very lenient on earning credit for missed days.

Professor Devine has so much amazing knowledge of nutrition and I absolutely enjoyed every minute of her lectures! Not too much homework and what little you do have actually aids in your learning. You do not need the book you can get by on just her PowerPoints. Attendance isn't mandatory but there are some in-class activities that are graded.

Professor Devine was very knowledgeable and informative regarding her materials. 3 Group projects that are crucial to your grade. 3 midterms that consist of 4-5 units worth of materials. No final exam and the last exam is not cumulative. Some questions are tricky on her exam so understand very material like when you're studying physiology class.

She loves what she teaches and it shows in her lectures. She is always open to hearing any questions and always takes time to help students better understand anything they need help with. Exams were easy if you read the study guides and her other assignments were graded very easily. Nutrition is so fun with her!!

Super caring and passionate about her job. Assignments vary but Smart books and Diet Analyses every 1-2 weeks. Showing up to lectures is important because she'll do in-class activities worth 5 points (you get 0 if you're absent). Pay attention in class because her study guides don't help with exams very much. 10/10 would recommend her!

Look at the slides instead of the study guides when reviewing for exams. Her lectures are pretty interesting but one thing that no one has mentioned is that she asks questions during her lectures and expects people to respond. If your class isn't talkative then it's a bit insufferable (not the fault of the professor). I hate my classmates.
