Online General Nutrition- Good course. Tests come from a test bank which can be frustrating and tricky. Teacher provides an excellent review for exams. The book was used mainly for a reading assignment, so it was a must have. Teacher is fast to repond to emails, posts helpful information. It is well crafted for an on-line course.

DO NOT BUY the BOOK. she has POWER points THAT have ALL the ANSWERS. and her LECTURES give u MANY test questions. TRUST me. i Wasted money $$ on the book. Her Powerpoints: MEMORIZE them. know them and they will POP up on the test.off course the other side to this is that i didn't learn OR retain much. BUT, this is the striaght forward Way to an "A"
