Easy, and she is soooo hot
Best teacher to take. Her tests are pretty much curved, the quizzes are self-graded, and she explains everything well, shes also hot.
shes a down to earth teache who really cares for her students. She is also very fashionable and well kept.
We've got to pray for her. She is so easy, interested and helpful. You've got to take her class. And I would say she is in a good physical shape. She is pretty hot.
Awesome Teacher, Notes are essentially given to you, as are study guides, as long as you listen in lecture and study for exams you are good to go, and the diet projects are easy just turn them in on time. She offers plenty of extra credit assignments too.
SHE IS A VERY EASY GOING TEACHER. SHE REALLY GOES AT THE PACE OF YOUR CLASS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE NOTES SHE PASSES OUT HER OWN POWERPOINT NOTES. ALL QUIZZES YOU GRADE YOURSELF. THE TESTS ARE NOT THAT HARD, JUST STUDY THE STUDY GUIDE AND REVIEW THE NOTES. VERY FASHIONABLE THOUGH. NICE SHOES.
hot but confusing
I recomend her to everyone. She really hellps students understand the subject. Besides that, she knows how to dress up nice. I really liked her shose..lol.
Pretty easy class. She's a great teacher. She's fair, and expects students to try, but she'll do everyting she can to help them. I thought this class would be boring, but it's really interesting.
this class is fun and easy. all you have to do is be in class and do your work and you'll be fine. She encourages you to keep up and gives you a study guide on what is on each test. You have one nutrition project but it's so incredebly easy to do!
Awesome professor! I learned so much in her class and easily earned a good grade! She gives extra credit and study guides for exams. On Blackboard, prints lecture notes and just fill in the blanks in class! Earn points for simply showing up to class. She will make you enjoy science... and eat healthier... Everyone should take her class!
The material is difficult, but she explains everything as clearly as possible. She is fun and fashionable. I reccomend that you take her class.
Jana is a great teacher. She cares about her students doing well. There is never any homework and all you do is print out her lectures from blackboard and follow them along in class. Great class to take! Very recommended..you will learn a lot about nutrition!
She is one the best teachers I ever had. Lecture notes are on blackboard. The tests are not that hard if you study! She is nice and easy to get along with. Few online quizzes, three exams (final is not cummulative!) projects, homework from time to time(very easy) and extra credit. awesome teacher!
The hottest teacher that i have ever had, i never missed class, but there was only one area that i paid atention to.
Very cool teacher, she's awsome! She's funny, interesting, she is the best. Very easy class, gives her own notes, 2 easy projects, few easy hw here and there, extra credit, 3 exams, do the study guide and you'll do just fine. Try not to miss too much of her lectures although attendance is not mandatory. Very fashionable. simply the best!
She was a great professor. Made the subject matter very interesting. She always looked fantastic and was full of energy. Highly recommend her class.
Caution: She makes this class more of a 600 than an entry level class. Some of her exams have hard to understand questions. She likes to put people down and ridicule them in front of the class. I'm a straight A student, but getting a B. This might lower your GPA, but you will learn a lot from her.
I THOUGHT THIS CLASS WOULD BE FUN.. IT WAS NOT! SHE GIVES YOU WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION, SHE IS NOT CLEAR, SHE LOVES NUTRITION AND THINKS YOU SHOULD ALSO. I RECEIVED A C IN HER CLASS. (I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING LOWER THAN A 'B' BEFORE-EVER!) VERY HARD TESTS. HW AND PROJECTS ARE A BREEZE THOUGH. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER, UNLESS FOR EYE-CANDY.
I don't know who thinks this class is hard. It was the easiest class I have ever taken. I barely had time to study for the test and still got a B. She is very nice, and she gives extra credit too. She doesn't take role but she does tell you exactly what will be on the test so its a good idea to show up. I would strongly recommend her.
Dr. Gonsalves is somewhat interesting and gives you partially filled in lecture notes. Tests are harder than you would expect from lecture but you can get an A without reading the book as long as you attend lecture and study. 2 fairly easy diet projects are due plus 4 or 5 timed online quizzes.
Great Prof. The main thing to do is to come to class and listen.
Tough on her students but fair
Great class to take in the summer as their is not as much work as in the fall and spring. I totally agree she is soooo fine!!!
Ok, I agree she's not HOT, but she is nice looking and dresses nicely. I didn't particularly like her personality; she tends to get aggravated easily, but as long as she's had her coffee, she's ok. Work is not tough, just time consuming. Tests are a little harder than your average 300 class...more like a 600 for tests.
Class was average but on the easy side. attendance not req./i missed a lot of classes but got a B. very nice, very helpful & well educated about what she's teaching. she does notes for u. Just print notes frm blackboard. great teacher/highly recommend her & you'll learn a lot.
Jana is a sweetheart. Her class is so easy!! Trust me I hate studying, and Im doing really good in her class. You dont even need to read the text, just go over your notes and you'll be okay. She is very easy going when it comes to grading. If you want to learn and get an easy A take Jana. Always remember never to go into the class empty stomach!!
The class was easy enough. The tests are a little difficult, just make sure to study your notes which are online most of the time which makes attendence not mandatory (do note that not all notes are online). Other than that she is RUDE!! She treats her students like idiots, and dismisses "dumb" questions as if she didnt hear them. SO beware!
Great instructor, she puts outline of notes on blackboard for you to print off and take to class, very helpful, in note taking. Quizes on blackboard. Test are a little tricky - study guides sometimes don't include all that is on the test. Over all a great class, she makes it easy to get an A.
DO NOT TAKE HER! She is the worst teacher ever! She's very rude, doesn't return emails when you have a question on an assignment or upcoming test, talks down to her students, gives everybody the same grade for a 50 point assignment. Uses tricky wording on the test just to throw you off. Doesn't grade extra credit until end of semester (wtf?).
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! The teacher is horrible. Her tests are confusing and not from the book. Since it's online we have to guess what she is thinking as there are no lectures. She is very rude, doesn't answer emails, grades unfairly as if we are getting our masters. I am going to complain to the Deane about her. She makes an A impossible to get
This is definitely a science class. She focuses heavily on diseases related to nutrition. She is very condescending and impersonal. She posts note outlines on blackboard however you must attend lecture to fill them out and supplement them from the textbook.
I took her online class and I thought her class was hard at first, until you get to know the way she teaches. Her test are not from the book, so you really have to make sure you read the textbook as well as the presentations. If you do this,you will be okay. I got an A. She always responded to emails and her instructions were always easy to follow.
I don't know what these students are complaining about. She is tough but fair. It is very science oriented but is a science gen ed. She give study guides, sample questions, and lecture notes. She also gives extra credit opps. I found her very accessible, eager to help, and responsive on email. Got D on 1st test but ended with a B in the class.
good teacher
plan good teacher
Professor Gonsalves is cute and fun. She offers lots of extra credit, study guides, practice tests and even puts outlines of her lectures online so you can print them and take notes on them. Really seems to care about her students. Very knowledgeble. I would def. recommend her class!
Prof. Gonsalves is an excellent teacher, she gives interesting lectures and constantly does q&a during the class. If you study your notes and study guides you'll do fine in the class. I highly recommend this class to meet G.E. requirement easty to take with heavy load. She offers extra credit & will always help you if asked. Awesome teacher!
I took Gonsalves for nutrition 300 and found her class to be interesting and pretty easy as long as you study your notes and supplement them a bit with the textbook chapters. Over half of the questions on her study guide are on her tests word-for-word so it doesnt getm much easier than that.
Really fun class with not a ton of work. I'm planning on taking another class from her cause I enjoyed her so much. My only criticism was that she canceled class on numerous occasions. (While some people might find that great I had her class on a separate day meaning when class was canceled I had made a trip to school for nothing)
This teacher was great. I understood everything she showed us. She provides detailed notes, and if you go to her class she will tell you exactly what will be on the test. I never opened my book. No homework and gives 40 extra credit points. Study her practice test. Half those answers are on the test. I got a A.
Absolutely awesome, she really wants everyone to succeed, totally understanding of personal issues but not a pushover... GREAT Teacher!!!
Not too much work. 2 diet projects which were fairly easy. Very sweet and understanding teacher. Highly recommend taking her class.
I had this class online, and it was great. You could take quizzes up to three times, she had her tests that came from the quizzes. would recommend take her!!
She is a very helpful teacher. I have always struggled in science but thanks to her I received a B. For me it was not an easy class but I passed. I would highly recommend her. She is an excellent professor.
Jana, as she prefers to be called, was a very fun professor. She is passionate about her subject, and likes answering a lot of questions that students have. No homework, barely any assignments, quizzes are online(clearly open book), and lowest quiz is dropped. Only 3 test in the entire semester, attendance is not mandatory.
Jana is passionate about Nutrition and it shows in the class. I took the 8 week course and really enjoyed it. No homework assignments, open book quizzes, and easy reading. She provides great study tools for each chapter.
Good teacher - I did really well she has the best study guides<>
Great personality. She wants you to do well and provides all the handouts you can print that will help you study for the test. dont bother with the book, read it twice..yuck her lecture notes are enough for an A P.S. she is very good looking lady
She had a lot of absenses which is not cool when She does it on the day you have a presentation that involved having food prepared for 40 people. That took a lot of time and money. At least she didn't require you to redo all the food. It was just lost effort.
Professor Gonsalvez was alright. wasnt one of my favs at all. lot of absences, bt very easy class.
very knowledgeable. Helpful and always finds out the answer if she doesn't know it. You must follow along with her notes, and take some of your own. Then you'll be alright.
This professor was ridiculous! She did not like it when anyone would ask a question but you had to be ready if she asked the class a question. She tended to be sarcastic and petty commenting on the fact that a man turned in his diet project in a pink folder. Who cares?! Her class isn't difficult you just have to put up with her crap!
Great, fun teacher. Really smart, knows her stuff. The subject she is teaching is difficult and she still can make it fun and easy!! Tests arnt hard if you study, definatly not a class for slackers. I never got the book and I was fine, but I could have done alot better with it. She is a great teacher!
I don't usually leave comments but felt like I had to. Dr. Gonsalves is not petty and ridiculous. She seems to really like teaching and does a good job. She does joke around with some of the students but I like that. I find her approachable and ready to answer any questions that we ask. Exams/quizzes are easy if you study and use study guides.
this class was very informative and she makes it fun she has a very good personality and is hot. i got an a in the class very straightforward.
This class was very manageable, you don't even realize all the work you're doing. I learned a lot. I liked that she expressed SOME opinions, I don't expect a teacher to completely dull down their personality in fear of insulting others. Don't forget NUTRI is a science, if you struggle with science (I do) I would recommend Jana! I got a B.
NUTRI is a science and if you struggle with science this is the class for you! It's very possible to get an A or B. I got all C's and a B on the exam but managed to get an A as my final grade because of all the points from the diet project, quizzes and extra credit. I didn't even need the book. Lecture & study guides are all you need for the exam.
professor gonsalves is a great professor and you will learn alot in this class go to class, do the sudy guides, do the extra credit and you should get an A.
I thought she'd be telling us what to eat and what not to eat the whole time, not telling us about how your body absorbs everything and where your food goes, etc. All of her lectures are powerpoint, so write fast and hope you can see through people since she always stands in front of the projector screen. She's nice but I wouldn't take her again.
I enjoyed her class. Got an A. With studying you will be good. Shes good in her lectures.
Love this lady! She made this class fun and easy! She has print-out notes that you can bring to class so you don't have to fill out everything. She gives lots of extra credit and is an easy grader! I think everyone should take her and this class! Just make sure to go to class and study!
She is a great professor! She keeps the class interesting and provides study guides for the exam. We have to do a diet project which was actually pretty fun and useful. Extra credit is avaliable and attendance is not mandatory.
Take her, you will learn a lot. She is very helpful, provides extra credit opportunities, gives great study guides that will help you a lot on the tests, and allows a page of notes on the final. It is a very useful class with an awesome professor.. Diet project is probably the biggest thing in that class, but it's easy and very helpful...
Professor Gonsalves was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures--good sense of humor, very personable. She does a good job of explaining complex things in a way that helps everyone understand. She's a visual learner so she explains things using visual examples alot. The lectures are invaluable. Study, come to class, get an A!
Took the online course.Keep up with the work and do the discussions and you will be OK. Avalible by eMail and on the discussion boards. Knows her stuff.
TAKE THIS CLASS! It is super simple, she provides all the notes in outlines on D2L. She makes it nearly impossible to fail this course. She is interesting to listen to and knows a lot about her subject! Don't be afraid to ask questions class discussions can get pretty interesting! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! All you need is the nutricalc computer program!
Very good teacher, easy to understand and as long as you take good notes and stay on top of your online quizes you will do good.
This class is a very easy class to pass. She is a very easy grader, very understandable, and a very nice woman. She does not give out very much homework, her quizzes are online, and she does offer extra credit assignments!The only downfall about this class is the professor is a little boring. I very highly recommend her!
The class is easy but the professor is not so organized. It takes her days and days to post our assignments (I was taking her online class)She always has some sources of excuse for her late responses. She does not pay much attention to students' needs and seems not to care about their doing in class. When email her, do not expect her to get back 2y
so unorganized, does not answer the emails. You don't learn anything but easy to pass and get an A.
YOU DO NOT NEED THE BOOK SO DONT BUY IT ! all you need is the wiley plus program. boring but easy. all the quizzes are online. almost no homework.
dr. gonsalves obviously is interested in the materials. she was casual and kept things interesting. i didn't have to use the book much. buy wiley plus and you get the digital book. it saves a lot of money. not much homework; online quizzes. go to class and you will do well. she has lecture notes online.
this professor is amazing!! anyone who takes her class will not be disappointed :)
The online class is pretty simple! She provides an online book so you don't need a textbook, but it's a lot of reading. Fairly easy assignments and easy A. She always responded in a timely manner as far as I was concerned. I would recommend this class!
Jana is a good professor. I dropped out of her class but will be taking her again in Fall! She's funny and a nice professor. She knows her stuff. Just be sure to study for exams, attend class even if she doesn't take role, take notes! Overall, easy class.
Super easy and fun class. Very few assignments, no problem with late work. If you turn everything in you will get an A. Only one big assignment Very easy grading,food once a week :)
Interesting class. A lot of information that I will remember for the rest of my life. I would recomend her to any one. I read some comments on here about disorganization, she must have worked on that because she was very organized for my class. Great class and great professor. Take her class you won't be sorry.
Thank you very much Dear Professor Jana. Your class was very helpful.You are awsome teacher!
This is a fun and easy class to take. There is a lot of information that I will remember and use after taking this class. She is a great professor and clearly states what she expects in her class. You do not need to buy the test book or the online programs for this class. Just show up to class and take notes on her lectures and you'll be fine.
Great professor! She is always prompt with answering questions and will answer thoroughly. The online course is set up well and organized so there is no confusion. I learned a LOT from this class and i highly recommend it!
Awesome teacher! Best and easiest Nutrition 300 teacher at ARC
I took her online Class she is really easy. I will highly recommend Prof. Gonsalves. You just have to read book for the quizzes and exams and do your work on time and you will get a good grade.
Took her M/W 10:30am class. She is one of the few professors who knows how to teach. Her style is mostly on lecture and tests only from that. Textbook is optional if you want to know more info. Wiley Plus is also optional. Really knows how to explain material for us to understand. Take her, she is not boring to listen to and good looking.
She understands how students work and gives interactive lectures with good explanations for scientific concepts. Great PowerPoint visuals. The class really opened my eyes on how my food intake affects my health, and I’ve subconsciously started eating healthier, especially after doing the Diet Project. Plenty of opportunities for extra credit.
Very educated in Nutrition. Sometimes she talks to us in a tone that implies we're stupid when were not responding because its early in the morning. Interesting class, easy if you study. All quizzes online, doesn't take roll. She is assertive but generally happy. One time she asked someone to pick her remote up and didnt say please or thanks.
She can come off as being rude but she's actually pretty funny and nice. Very knowledgeable but her tests are a bit hard. You def need to study for them. She doesn't take attendance but if you miss a class you will miss a lot of info. Very minimal homework, 1 diet project, and some online quizzes. Overall a good class.
Super easy and interesting! I recommend her!
Very interesting class and SUPER easy A (rare combination). She requires you to do some written assignments and reading, but the assignments are easy and the reading is actually interesting. No final. No tests. No textbook. Just one presentation on a country and it's food. And there's food every Wednesday! I enjoyed the class and learned a lot.
Print off her notes from D2L. It'll save your hand from writing so fast. Takes her time on lectures. She has a PhD and knows a lot of information. Never used the book, you only need iProfile, but you can use that program in the LRC. She practically hands out test questions. Have your hi-lighters ready! There's lots of ec opportunities. Easy A
Ohhmygosh She is amazing!Super easy. Take her if you want an easy A in nutrition 300. All her slides are on D2l so It makes it easy when she goes over lecture. Almost no homework but she will give about 5 or 6 multiple choice quizzes(online). She drops your lowest quiz score and offers 30 pts. extra credit+ Final exam online. Does not take roll
Considering that Nutrition topics are a 'patchwork' of the sciences (chem, micro bio, anatomy & physiology), Jana Gonsalves is able to cover these topics and effectively and painlessly reach out to students of science and non-science backgrounds. She really makes it easy to learn; it is also a great start for science majors; I recommend this class.
Take her, the class will be easy. Almost all quizzes and tests are online, with plenty of time. She loves the subject of Nutrition,so its fun to see her get fired up when you tell her what you eat on a daily basis. Haha.
She's amazing. Super fun, easy class. I learned a lot. She is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her. She lets you know what you should expect on the tests and quizzes. Show up to class, not because it's mandatory (it's not, except for the 1st week), but because you will learn. One of my favorite classes! 30 points EC too!
Professor Gonsalves really knows her topic well. Her lectures are all well organized and Powerpoint-based. This is not an easy class, as there is a lot of anatomy involved, however Gonsalves makes it clear & concise. Although yes, she does have a bit of an attitude on some occasions, she makes up for it in knowledge of her field. Would take again.
Asolutly lovely person! Very interesting and interactive class. She really cares about her students. Everything on quizzes(online) and exams are directly from her lectures so if you take notes and pay attention you'll pass easily. Also she always hints at what will be on the tests. Highly recommend!
Professor Gonsalves is a pretty chill professor. We had 3 exams and a couple quizzes. We only used the book once, so it was not really needed. And it's a pretty easy A.
The class itself isn't really hard you just have to keep up. She doesn't respond to emails and not very good at communicating. Doesn't except any late work. Wants you to purchase the newest book by this specific author online and is necessary for you to do so in order to complete your diet project log.
I really liked the online class. Very easy A as long as you do your work. Weekly reading quizzes and three test. Didn't need the book.
this is my second time taking her. she is super nice and is always there if you need help. she is super sweet and will help you in anyway she can
If you want an easy A take her. She doesnt teach, she is very unorganized but a good person. In this class the students are teaching each other. She requires a few assignments and a presentation on a country. I felt this class was a waste of my time. If you want to LEARN I suggest you take another professor.
this professor was amazing! some hw here and there, 3 exams including the final. First exam is in class and the other 2 are online. diet project was actually fun to do and learned a lot. Professor was super chill and funny. lectures weren't boring and she would always hint at test answers during the lecture
fantastic teacher, one of the best I've had. Great lectures, but pay attention, because she uses those on the tests and quizzes. Diet project was fun, overall if I had to take another Nutrition course, I'd take it from her.
Class consists of: notes followed by online quizzes, an in-class midterm and an online final. Theres a diet project that's not too hard. Didn't use the book but you need an iprofile account. Bought 1 account and split the price w/ 3 people. Doesn't require attendance. Got a B cuz it was my first college. Put in work and youll get an A. Recommend!
Only the first exam is in class and everything else is online. one 1-part diet project that really isn't that bad and she give plenty of time to do it. Offers up to 30 points extra credit. She's really nice and its easy to listen to her.
This online class is any easy A. Exams were easy ! & she also gives LOTS of extra credit . There is 1 diet project (which includes two parts) . Part 1 is where you write down what you eat over the course of three days & part 2 is an essay. Part 1 of the project was an easy A, where as part 2 of the project was not an easy A. Ask for rubric !
Easiest class I've taken ever! I was scared to take an online class! However, her set up is extremely clear and easy to pass! There are quizzes for every chapter so you should pay attention to the videos she posts. The quizzes are on unlimited time so I definitely learned to take advantage of that! Would take again and recommend to everyone!!
Professor Gonsalvez is an amazing teacher she is very lenient with grading and if you miss due dates but talk to her she still lets you submit them
Prof. Gonsalves knows her stuff. Lot's of material to cover, but she is always available to help.
Great teacher!! super easy class. I bought the book but never even used it. Her lectures are very well put together. Exams were piece of cake ! i definitely recommend her class!!
Easy class. The biggest assignment we had to do was one group presentation. Every week we would watch videos and presentations and occasionally get food. Super interesting course. Finish all of your work and you're guaranteed an A. She also isn't strict with deadlines just talk to her and she'll probably still give you full credit
easiest class all semester. one in class exam, one online. all the quizzes are online with open note/book. didn't use the textbook at all. one diet project, I did it all in one day and got an A. she's cool. attendance isn't mandatory, but she gives extra credit for people who show up sometimes. EASY A TAKE IT.
Great professor!
As a Nursing Major, this class was a great introduction for science classes. She provides everything you need online. You must attend class to get full lecture notes. Lots of quizzes based on both the text book and lectures, but mostly lectures. She wants everyone to pass and learn something. Definitely passionate. Offers extra credit. RECOMMENDED!
Dr. Gonsalves is such a sweet professor. There are weekly discussion posts as well as quizzes that are due. There 2 big diet projects that are due but they are easy peazy. I would definitely take her again. I have learned a lot from this class.
Amazing professor; learned a lot in this class that I didn't know before in an interactive way. Since it was an honors class, most of the semester was spent in seminar-style discussions so beware if you're shy. Grades were based on participation in seminars, discussion board responses, a few mini-short essay responses, and a paper/presentation.
This rate is for her online course. I dont think Ive had a prof that was this strict. Technology tends to fail, or mess up and when it does, she does not care. She will still give a 0. Sadly, her clarification on stuff isnt a precise as it needs to be for an online course.
She's incredible professor. I had taken her Nutrition 300 class. It was really easy class. the mostly quizzes were online and open book. Even 2 exams were open book too. I passed her class with A grade. I wanna say if you are good with your homework and assignments in her class then she's easy A grader.
Two tests, one final. One Diet Project, split into two parts. I took this course Spring 2017, one test in class, one test and final online. Her lectures will help you with the chapter study guides she has for you online. Whatever you can't find will be in the textbook. You have to read textbook unless you have good knowledge with Nutrition.
NO: QUIZZES, TESTS, OR FINALS. However, there was 6 very long articles we had to read with questions we had to answer and turn in and have a class discussion about. An additional 6 assignments that was spreaded out every three weeks. One project, one country, 10-12min presentation, bringing food is optional, this will take up last 3 months of class
Took online class so I did not get to know her but she was somewhat responsive to emails. The class structure was really organized so not a lot of reason to email through the semester. She was understanding when I got a concussion and she cares about the success/understanding of the students. Not mind-blowingly amazing but would take again!(:
I took Prof Gonsalves Online during Spring of 2017. The structure of the online class materials were cleared and precise. Weekly quizzes, discussion boards, 1 project broken into two parts.
I took NUTR300 in Spring 19 and it was my first time taking a college course that was fully online. I enjoyed learning so much about nutrition. With weekly discussions and quizzes, I thought it would be hard but it was very manageable to get done and the work is straight forward. GREAT instructor, very responsive and helpful.
Taking NUTRI 300 online was a nice class online because when doing it for the 8 weeks I learned a lot about Nutrition. Every week there was discussion boards and quizzes, and getting out of those assignments made it very helpful for me to learn. The class was helpful.
No homework, quiz on every chapter need to read your notes before taking it, first exam in class, 1 online and final online too. Everything you need to do is to take notes, she always tells what will be on the exam so make sure to write that down. Easy class just take notes!
This class is fine. The teacher has a bit of an attitude. Since there are few assignments, dont miss even one because that could be a grade letter difference in the final grade in the end of semester. The online class is ok. The chapters each week are long so dont take all the notes in 1 day.
This teacher is fantastic I cannot tell you how much effort she will put in on her end for the students success. I had this teacher during the COVID19 pandemic and she made the switch to online not painful. This teacher was both excellent in the classroom and on the online lecture I am just happy to have taken the class with her!
I took professor gonsalves for nutrition 300 and she was really great she is very helpful and she gives good feed back. We had a diet project and she wanted everyone to pass so if you did not pass the first try she would tell you what was wrong with it and then she would let you submit it again without penalizing you. Highly suggest you take her.
Amazing professor, she really knows her stuff! Be ready to learn a lot. Our first test was in class, the rest were taken online. She gives tons of opportunities for extra credit. She's very nice & her lectures are easy to comprehend. But beware of taking A LOT of notes during class.
Class is easy but she assigns to much work & TAKES FOREVER TO GRADE..
OK, I dont know how you complain about this professor. She was very nice! We had a diet project to turn in, 3 exams, and 5 quizzes. It's a 3 unit class, super easy. Download her online lecture sheets and you basically have the exam answers. I can't believe people actually complained about her work load, literally less work than my other classes.
The class is very easy and straight to the point. Anyone can pass the class with an A if you just do the material.
Took this course online during Covid, and have nothing but good things to say there is almost no homework very easy stuff, a diet project that you can do very easy, just show up and pay attention. Very helpful instructor make sure you good one on assignments because we dont have a lot so your grade can suffer. Do your work easy A or B
Professor Jana Gonsalves is very nice and she is super helpful! She is willing to be there for you along the way. Any help you need, she will help you. I would take her again and I think anyone can pass, just show up to the lectures and do your job!
Professor is really nice and would love to take her again. There is mandatory textbook readings and an end of semester presentation and paper, but its all easy if you choose an easy topic. Participation does count, and she likes to have cameras on, but not mandatory. Lots of work the first couple of weeks, but after its chill.
Professor is very nice and accessible after class. Theres not many assignments, but there is weekly textbook readings. Theres an end of the semester presentation and paper, choose an easy topic and itll be chill. She likes to have cameras on, but doesnt force anyone. Theres lots of discussion, and there are participation points you can lose
Professor Gonsalves was the best professor online. She was really helpful if you didn't understand anything and was a really easy grader. It was a zoom class so participation and attendance was necessary. we also had a 7-10 page essay and got to choose our own topic. Overall she was my favorite professor!
This class is so stupid easy it's not even funny. Look you, can pass the class by just googling the answers and finding Quizlet to the ch tests. For the midterm and final, just use a laptop or phone on the side, and bam. I actually read the textbook and took notes cause I wanted to learn about nutrition but if you don't care, just use google.
Super fun class. You basically do the work given in the class and you will get an A. The class was insightful and the professor really likes class discussion so be ready to get out of your comfort zone and participate. There are several assignments each week and a presentation & essay at the end. You'd have to actually TRY to get an F in the class.
Criteria is easy. She doesn't communicate very well, had to drop her class due to COVID emergencies, needed help w/ a late drop form & no response. She also uses Proctorio, so beware. Proctorio is invasive so if you care about your privacy, please consider a different teacher.
She is strict on the quizzes but her class is very easy to pass. There are very few assignments and she gives extra credit, which raised my grade a LOT at the end of the year. I had I think an 80 something and because of extra credit it raised it to a 97. Keep up with the work and youll do great. Plus quizlet helps a lot lol
Of course an accelerated course has a heavy workload and I'm fine with that. What I'm not fine with (and my type A self could not get past) is the quizzes. Two quizzes per chapter, the first being 10 questions with a 7 min time limit and the other 25 q's in 20min. No thanks! I'd prefer to be set up for success- cant memorize each chapter! Drop.
Professor Gonsalves is so caring and fun! Her lectures were the opposite of boring! I was having a hard time passing her class, and whenever I contacted her about it, she always replied! She helped me pass her class! Highly recommend taking her class!
Pretty straightforward, do the work and get the grade. She does not throw curve balls or anything like that, her tests are really doable. I would highly recommend it!
Easy A!
Professor Gonsalves is a very knowledgeable and engaging lecturer with a positive attitude. She was consistently willing to help everyone understand the concepts. I did all of the readings, articles, lectures, discussion and videos and participated in class, truly learned a lot of interesting nutrition information, and got a solid A. Take it!
Prof. Gonsalves is the BEST Nutrition professor in ARC. She is a very kind person. Lecture meetings are VERY HELPFUL, and take note: 3 Exams and 4 to 5 Quizzes. If you read the textbook and take notes in class, you can get an A in Exams and Quizzes. A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT. If you work a little hard, you can pass this class with an A.
Here is my take on professor Gonsalves. Her class was fairly easy if you were on top of your assignments, lecture notes, and if you studied enough to pass her quizzes. Only downside is that 1.) she is not lenient on your grades. You get one try and one try only and 2.)At times she was very condesending if you didn't answer her question correctly.
I took this class in total of 8 weeks instead of 16. More work especially when reading 2 chapters a week, 2 quizzes, powerpoints. All questions come from book. Most questions on quizzes are on the exams. What helped me in this class was doing annotations and printing out the powerpoints. Professor responds fairly quick to emails
This class it is so easy be ready to take quizzes and discussion boards Call quizzes answers you can find it online or on Quizlet Very easy class
Easy class.There was one project where you had to research a country and do a presentation. On weeks we weren't presenting, we had to write three random questions for the country presenting. Also had to write comments for the presenters. She doesn't teach anything regarding her subject, she wastes time and hates if your answer is smart. No homework
I took this as a summer course and it was a very easy A class with her. There are no surprises on the quizzes and overall she is very amazing. The homework workload isn't too bad however there was weekly assignments.
I enjoyed NUTRI300 with her. If you want an easy A, make sure to read the assigned chapters for the quizzes. Quizzes were about every one-two weeks, one midterm, one final exam. Two very small writing assignments on your diet. A few discussion boards. You might get a good grade without reading the chapters and just attending lecture. Very doable
Pretty easy class, take the online course its a lot easier.
The class structure was straightforward, comprehensive, and predictable. One chapter and quiz every week. Everything is from the textbook which has practice quizzes, and she will want at least two essays, along with a midterm and final-both of which follow the same structure as her quizzes. She's available and she wants you to succeed! Great class!
Turnitin counted my quotes (used for evidence) and my works cited as plagiarism. This resulted in a 30% similarity. Prof didnt bother to check what similarities there were and claimed I copied half my paper. There is a book required for this class. weekly discussions.
Easy class but she is condescending and judgmental at times.
I took this class in 8 weeks online and it was a breeze! This professor is very understanding and willing to help you out with grades. I ended up having an 89.7%, so she let me go back and fix an assignment in order to bump my grade up. Instructions for each week were very clear and quizzes/exams were fairly simple and aligned with course material.
Professor Gonsalves is a wonderful teacher and very kind and caring. She gives really great lectures and really offers a lot of opportunities for her students to do well. Please participate in her lectures! It is really helpful to your learning and it is important for professors to know you are engaged, especially online. I highly recommend her!
This class is super easy to take, and she does require you to use a textbook but I never really used it, for the quizzes and exams she gives you a week to do it, and everything is online, for extra credit she offers is for u to watch videos and answer some questions.
Decent class. Basically, it was a bunch of multiple choice quizzes/ exams... answers finable online. Occasional discussion posts. Easy A. I did not really learn much because it felt like a side quest. If you want to learn about nutrition maybe do an in person course.
Professor Gonsalves excels in teaching nutrition with enthusiasm and expertise. She's the best!
Pacing of the class is difficult to keep up with and too many assignments
I took this class asynchronous online. It was easy but the quizzes and tests did not reflect what was in the textbook. Questions were pulled from who knows where. Be ready to Google everything for the answers that are nowhere to be found in the textbook. Other than that, the class was easy and was easy to get in contact with.
I like this class . Just do homework and you will have A .
Professor Gonsalves makes nutrition engaging. The class is straightforward - do the readings and you'll ace the quizzes. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for preparing, alongside the textbook. Overall, an easy A if you stay on top of things.
would take again! very understanding professor
Theres not much to say she was very straightforward. The lectures were informative, and you could tell she loves nutrition.
Professor Gonsalves is such a passionate teacher, creating a lively and engaging environment in class. She genuinely cares about her students. She also created a study guide, which has been incredibly helpful for preparing for exams. I would definitely take her class again and strongly recommend her.
She was very kind and helpful. She explains things clearly and makes learning easy. She always supports her students and cares about their success. I am very thankful for her hard work. She is a great teacher!”
I had an excellent experience in this class. [Gana Gonsalves is not only knowledgeable but also very kind and approachable. She explains concepts clearly, encourages questions, and genuinely cares about her students' success. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great professor!
Learning material was very easy to comprehend.
Textbook technically required, but all exam material is covered during lectures. She does not test on anything not discussed in class. Quizzes and exams are one attempt only. You can do well without purchasing the textbook—just take clear photos of the lecture slides. Very friendly Professor that is open for any questions, and gives advice gymbros.
So, my overall grade is an 87.65. This professor has you buy a book, mind you, NOTHING from the book is asked on quizzes or tests it's all from her personal PowerPoints . She takes super long to grade & offered 1 extra credit assignment for 5 points ! She's a nit picking grader ! Mind you , I didn't miss anything and got a B+ That should tell you.
Great instructor. She is very knowledgable and helpful. Very responsive to communication (email or office hours). Little to no homework. Take home quizzes and exams which all the material is gone over during lecture. DO NOT PURCHASE THE TEXTBOOK. She now offers an OER that acts as a substitute to the textbook. Overall easy class. I highly recommend
Super passionate and it shows; her lectures are informative and I def recommend attending them all. Lets you use notes for all quizzes, so as long as you take notes during lecture your almost guaranteed to pass. A very forgiving and kind professor overall.
