Definitely one of my favorite teachers I've had at nassau and even in high school. Also very funny! I died every time he said "smoking" in a weird voice. Wish I could take him again. Not a lot of work and the tests are basically given to you in his packets. Just pay attention in class and go over the packets and you'll do great.

One of few professors who WANT you to excel and walk out with the knowledge and grade you deserve. If you are any medical major, his lectures give a clearer prespective towards A&P, Microbio & Basics of Chemistry.. you walk out learning more than just Nutrition. His lectures are so clear & concise he practically tells you what is on the tests.
