dr. dixon is a great professor. he's a little unorganized but he's passionate about what he teaches, and his tests are not difficult. he puts all of his ppts online, which is a huge help so you can just listen in class. altogether a good guy. if you're interested in nutrition, take this class.

Very funny professor. Likes to make jokes, tell stories in class. But, very messy + disorganized notes (+ laptop desktop). Organize the notes on your own! He posts notes + handouts on SAKAI. Don't need book, just need Diet Analysis software you can borrow from a classmate. Class is pretty amusing; his analogies aren't always the best, but he tries.

Had him for Nutrition fall 09. This is a fair class. He knows his stuff gives plently of handouts. attendance is not mandatory but there are pop quizzes worth 5pts- he'll let you know about this. If you ask for help he actually helps you. Take this class. I got a B could've gotten a B+ an A if i really tried. I recommend this class. learned stuff

Very interesting class. Pay attention and don't miss too many because he gives attendance quizzes. Study the slides and pay attention in class and you'll do fine. Diet project is actually fun to do so don't stress it. GREAT TEACHER! I had a lot of fun in his class.

Dr. Dixon is one of the best teachers out there... sure he needs to get more organized... but he knows his stuff, and has strong interest in this subject. Read the book, read his slides, go to class(only for the pop quizzes he gives) and you are golden... he does talk a lot about his Dixon cycle... you'll know what that is eventually. Great course

Professor Dixon is so nice. He made the final optional for us this year. He really cares about his students and wants to you succeed. He also makes you do an easy diet assignment where you figure out what your doing wrong in your diet. Just look over his PowerPoints before a test and you'll do fine.

Amazing professor. Really cares about his students, bumped my grade up when I was borderline because I worked really hard on my diet analysis project. It's worth it to take him, even if it ends late on a Friday!

Very nice guy, cool class, and learned alot. Read the book, but mostly his ppts, which have random, unnecessary slides that he thinks we love. There are 5 random in class quizzes (mostly opinions and open ntbk), 3 non cumul. exams and a cumul. final. The exams aren't difficult, they're sometimes tricky, but they're never out of the blue questions.

Dr. Dixon is a really nice guy and a great professor. The topics are interesting. He basically tells you what is on the exam. He gives a study guide and if you email him any questions he will tell you the answer. Tip for his class: read the text fast, go to lecture, take notes on what he says, study the ppts, do the study guide. I got an A.

Studied for exams the day before; easy A; Cares about his students and really wants you to do well; interesting class too

If you're really interested in nutrition and health, I'd recommend finding a different class. While Dixon is certainly interesting, he's very scattered and unorganized, and this makes the course more confusing than it needs to be.

Nutrition & Health: he's easy, not organized, but he tries. :) Study the powerpoint slides and the use the textbook only when you think the ppt slides aren't clear enough. Go to class for the quizzes (there's only 5).

He truly and i mean truly cares about his students. "If you guys are happy then I am happy" -Joe Dixon.

Awesome professor ! I missed a bunch of classes in the beginning of the year for sickness and I was still able to talk to him and catch up quickly! The tests aren't bad, you just need to focus on his study guides that he gives you before the test! Def would recommend him if you need to take nutrition!

Professor Dixon was the best. He was so enthusiastic about the material and always offered extra help in office hours. GO TO LECTURE. Some of his questions will be about topics (or stories) that you will not find in the textbook. Definitely one of the better professors at RU. Textbook was useless though. I wouldn't buy it.

he is the best professor. he is so helpful and his stories in lecture are great, makes lectures very interesting and goes off topic a lot but its for our benefit. exams are easy especially for bio majors. everyone should take this class

Professor Dixon is a great professor. He cares about his students. Class was easy, 4 tests, 5-6 easy quizzes (basically for attendance) and a project. If you study his study guide you should get an automatic A or B in his class. Textbook not necessary I didn't buy it and didn't need it.

Professor Dixon is the greatest! Class consists of 4 exams which he makes a review sheet telling you exactly what to know. Multiple attendance quizzes (be there and you'll pass them all), and an EASY dietary assignment project! Also gives 20 points worth of easy extra credit assignments for your lowest test! Take him you won't regret it!

Very easy class if you took gen bio 2 at Rutgers. Don't need the textbook, everything on the exam is in powerpoints or something he mentions in class. Every exam has a few questions that aren't in the power points but he talks about in class. He gives quizzes that are a joke but can hurt your grade if u skip class.

Study Before Exams You are paying for it.. go to class Has- an interesting humor,, great energy, Great teach'! GPA booster (y) Worth!

He is a very easy professor! He cares and tries alot to help his students. Always tries to give xtra credit. He makes things alot easier then other professors to understand. Study right before for his exams and you are fine! Gives pop quizzes but are really easy! like seriously thats to help your grade! NO BOOK NEED!

Interesting class that was pretty easy as long as you either show up and pay attention or read the textbook. 4 non-cumulative mult-choice tests that don't change much from year to year *wink*. Gives a handful of super easy (attendance) quizzes. Dixon was a funny guy but he was all over the place. Super enthusiastic and eager to answer questions.

It is important to come to lecture in case you don't understand the material. always review everything from the powerpoints and the info on the review sheets. very straightforward exams. i went to office hours sometimes to see what i needed to know from the ppts because theres a lot of info. he is very friendly and always willing to help.

Easily one of my favorite professors to date. He is hilarious and gives out FRESH SALADS! Who couldn't love that?? But really, go to lectures if you are clueless, ask him for help (I accidentally missed an assignment and he let me hand it in late) and make sure to study a lot for the first couple of exams. There are quizzes and the final was easy!

professor dixon was awesome!! if you review powerpoints and utilize textbook, tests are a breeze. assignments are not hard at all, make sure you attend lecture for the quizzes (dates not given). his quirky personality and enthusiasm for nutrition truly made this an enjoyable class and if you put it some effort, you'll end up with an a or b.

Dixon is a pretty good professor, very funny and quirky guy. I found most exams hard but the final pretty easy, and there were a couple of easy projects. I never went to class and put in as little effort and possible and got a C, so a B or an A shouldn't be hard at all.

Very good professor. He is for the students and wants you to pass. He does pop quizzes which are the easiest thing in the world and count towards extra credit points. He has 4 exams which are easy to begin with and they only get easier as the semester goes. The lectures are not mandatory but you want to go just in case there is a pop quiz.

Awesome guy! Easy A. You will enjoy it. Cares about everyone. Everyone take it!

This was by far the coolest professor I've had at Rutgers. Not only was the class easy, with 4 multiple choice exams (including non-cumulative final) and 2 assignments (both took less than 20 minutes to complete), but professor Dixon is hilarious and keeps you entertained throughout the lecture. I highly recommend this class.

he's probably one of the better professors I had at rutgers. He genuinely cares about his students, and his lectures can be funny at times. Exams are pretty easy if you study his slides carefully, you don't really need the textbook. Couple of small assignments which don't take that long and easy pop quizzes throughout the semester

This guy is actually really nice. He really truly does care about his students. There are 4-5 pop quizzes which are fair and simple (he cares more about attendance). There are 4 exams which are pretty easy as there are previous exams floating around. Study those you will get at least a B+. He also gives a ton of extra credit.

Despite being a little disorganized, Professor Dixon was fun and he made class enjoyable! The class is mostly graded by a few exams (which aren't bad, the final was super easy I got a 98) but he offers opportunity for extra credit. I would suggest going to class though because some exam questions come from his stories.

Prof. Dixon is not an organized lecturer for the non-science majors or freshmen. If you are a science major and already took Gen Bio 1 or taking concurrently, then his lectures will be much more understandable and get easier without a doubt. Exams are pretty simple and he is a lovely professor. Need little work for non-science majors.

He's genuinely one of the best professors at Rutgers, though very unorganized. He has a passion for teaching Nutrition and really cares about his students. The study guides are really straightforward but beware of random pop-quizzes & attendance grades.

Prof. Dixon is such a caring man who is extremely passionate about nutrition. There are numerous opportunities for extra credit and the exams are straightforward-he even marks the important concepts with a lightning bolt and if you study those, its an easy A. He started using TopHat in Spring 2019 so now attendance and quizzes are graded

Very nice guy, very accomodating in these tough times. Great class to knock down 2 of your SAS requirements!

As long as you put in the work and take notes on all the lectures, you'll be fine. He was so helpful this semester and gave so much extra credit and extra time bc he knew people were stressed. For the exams, he asks questions on anything he mentions in class like if he mentions his cousin Billy, it'll be a q on the exam so pay attention. Easy A

Professor Dixon's teaching method is more lecture heavy, but the class itself is not too difficult. He's super chill, knowledgeable, and understanding. During lectures he tends to go off topic and tell stories but that's not a big deal honestly. His exams are based on his lectures so definitely study those for preparation.

His exams are based on what he says in lecture only. He's kinda funny but it's also a little cringe. But he's relatable so thats a plus. He tends to go off topic a lot but he doesn't waste too much lecture time on it so it's not a big deal. His slides are really confusing though because he draws out a bunch of stuff. That's the only bad thing tho.

Professor Dixon is the reason I started eating oats every day, because of that my fecal matter has become longer, faster, and smoother than ever. The extra fiber really helps. Due to these shorter defecation times, I have increased my productivity by tenfold. I feel closer to my peak physical capabilities than ever before. I love you, Joe Dixon.

I would say Dr. Dixon is not the most organized. However, his lectures are super helpful and interesting. His exams were all open book and straight from the power points. For almost every assignment, he would push back the deadline, giving us more time to finish it. Overall, he's a great professor and I recommend taking this course with him.

I was taking his class online. So far I have 95 before finals. He is a great and caring person. He might be unorganized, but overall a great person. Sometimes his classes are dry, but you should get an A on his class if you put effort and some time.

Dr. Dixon is one of the best Professors at Rutgers University. He is very caring and a great professor. His lectures are very helpful, clear, and interesting. I recommend everyone to take his class. I learned a lot in this class, and I started to be aware/careful of the foods I consume. Thank you Dr. Dixon!

hes so understanding and genuinely wants everyone to do well.

Dr. Dixon cares about the students mental and physical well-being first and foremost. He will extend deadlines multiple times to ensure that everyone learns the material and has adequate time to complete the assignments. Dr. Dixon is always there for his students! When Dr. Dixon retires, the nutrition department will lose a legend. Truly a GOAT!

Dr Dixon is a great professor! He really cares about his students, give extensions if needed, and his tests and quizzes are fair. If you study well it is an easy A. If you don't you shouldn't get less than B.

He is so nice and his class is easy even though the information can be challenging. He extends deadlines for quizzes and projects almost every week. One of our projects was a midterm and he extended it until the end of the semester. He wants everyone to do well.

The purest soul at RU! He genuinely cares about students' health.. The course was intended to be in person but gave us the option to be online because he knew the pandemic has has a big affect on us mentally. Don't take advantage of this man because he literally will push due dates so much just so 1-2 people don't get late points taken off.

Take Him. Do it. Nicest guy ever and really wants everyone to get an A.

Dr. Dixon is probably the best professor at Rutgers. He truly cares for his students mental and physical health above all. He makes his lectures fun and interesting by sharing personal stories that relate to each lesson. I would definitely recommend taking his class!

This man might be my favorite person on the planet. he genuinely cares for every student, and he will push off deadlines as far as possible just for one student who didn't do it on time. I haven't gone to class all semester, I just made sure to learn the material prior to the tests and still did insanely well. every quiz he gives is on Quizlet

Amazing professor! One of the very few who actually takes students into consideration & their schedules. He pushed back deadlines multiple times just so a few students could submit it and get a good grade. Very easy assignments/quizzes & 1 project which was super easy too! Class was in person but he gave exams online open book to make it easier!

Dixon is the nicest professor I have ever had. Actually cares about students and wants to see them succeed. Grade is based off lecture quizzes and exams and one project which was fairly easy. As long as you stay on top of your work (which isn't a lot) you should get an A in this course with Dixon.

This has been my favorite professor at Rutgers so far! Although attendance counts, he isn't super strict about it. He is also super understanding about keeping flexible deadlines for work, and he truly tries to always help his students and you can tell he cares.

Professor Dixon is very nice and gives you a lot of opportunities to make up past homework and projects. He extended one of our projects for 2 months and is easily accessible outside of class. The only issue is that final and exams are taken in person so you can't slack off.

This year was different as the exams were in person compared to online. One exam was online due to the strike this year, but generally, be prepared to study for exams 1 and 2 most people did poorly on the first exam. The final was easy. Writing assignments are easy and lecture quizzes as well as attendance quizzes are very easy. Overall easy class

Class is very definition memorization heavy. If you are interested in nutrition, you'll likely enjoy the class, if your looking for an easy A for NS requirement there are better options. Dixon is super nice and accommodating. His lectures are slightly all over the place but the class overall is light. He recommends reading but it's not necessary.

Professor Dr. Joe DixON was the BEST professor I have ever had. He is HILARIOUS, and INSPIRATIONAL!! If you want to learn and get a good grade, TAKE HIS CLASS!!! I have learned so much about pellagra, type 2 diabetes, and the OBESITY EXPLOSION!!!!! I think about nutrition every night before bed now. THANK YOU PROF DR JOE DIX! (shout out nick)

Prof Dixon is so amazing! He is such a sweet professor and is always understanding. Be mindful of his work and stay on top of it. There are two midterms and one final. I would def recommend him to everyone. Some of his lectures might be confusing, but if you follow along and stay on top of the class, you'll do amazing!!

Just a great human. Super down to earth and very obviously cares about his students and the subject he teaches. His slides can be hard to understand but just try and read the keys he gives before graphs and they should make sense. Even made our exam online because he was nervous about us. Try and take his section but please be nice to him.

Easy course fulfilling two core reqs. Prof. Dixon is great, caring guy but his lectures get kind of boring and tedious (he has attendance quizzes). As long as you do all the work, study a night before for his exams, and have some common sense, an A should be attainable.

Professor Dixon does a good job of getting straight-to-the-point lectures & offers extra help via office hours. As long as you pay attention to the lectures & review the material on your own before each exam you will be fine. Professor Dixon is kind, caring, and lenient. Just DO NOT procrastinate and an A is very much attainable.

This class was easy and prof Dixon is one of the most caring professors. It is a lot of information, but the study guides he gives before exams are almost word for word the exam. An A is very attainable and he gives lots of extra credit. Don't listen to the people complaining, they probably never went to a lecture and are mad they did not get an A.

His exams were not difficult if you studied before using his guide. Pretty much an easy A and his class wasn't that difficult.

2 midterms + final, also gave 5 pt attend quizzes weekly, w on and off lecture quizzes worth 7-15 pts, & project (easy A if you follow directions) worth same as midterm. I got a 65 or 67 on the first midterm and still ended with an A in the class. This professor is very helpful and wants you to succeed, but you need to put in some effort.

He was a good professor and passionate about his class. Have to pay for his book/online quiz service. 3 exams and they require studying but he provides study guides. 1 main assignment that you have 1.5 months to complete. Friday classes were done virtually. Very manageable and easy class overall.

Professor Dixon's class has a lot of content, but the study guides are super helpful. If you stay focused and use tools like unstuck ai along with the textbook, an A is definitely achievable. His lectures can be dry, but he's a caring professor who wants you to succeed.

He is so funny, gives out snacks, and his exams are pretty easy, u just have to study the study guide he gives out. So sweet and adorable.
