She's a sweet lady and really wants everyone to do well. You'd have to try to do poorly in her class. Her lectures can be a little boring, but that's true of almost every professor, no?

She's really nice, understanding and very sweet but her lectures are a little, "blah". The easiest ways to pass her class are to do the assignments (easy) and turn them in on time. Oh, and try to fight your sleepiness as hard as I did.

She is sweet & hard working. She gives out alot of work but everything is in the outlines & text. Her tests are MC & some short essay Q's. All she asks is that you take notes, turn in assignments on time (exceptions),and be respectful of others that want to learn. She offers her office hour to help everyone. Will re-explain anything. Highly Rec!

She is nice and cares about her students. A little stressed out...but had 6 classes. Copy everything off the overhead on to the outlines, skim chapters for study questions....all scantron, very few fill in or essay..always 10 points E/C on test. Average teacher but tries hard.

This lady tries so hard for all her students. She is so nice and willing to help any of her students. Always has office hours to explain everything. Easy class, just do the assignments that are super easy and you will be fine.

Actually wants you to pass, lets you turn stuff in late...extra credit on tests

She is one of the nicest and kindest teachers I've had. She's very approchable. If you have any problems in the homeworks, just leave her a message and she'll give you a call back and help you out as much as she can. I'd strongly recommend her.

She was a very nice lady. She was an easy teacher and wanted everyone to do well. You will also learn a lot of information that you can use throughout your life.

Very friendly teacher, easy to understand.

Very sweet teacher. Very helpful. She makes sure I understand everything. Gives extra credit and actually wants us to pass. Great class.

she by far the best teacher i had since ive been at ARC.

She's the best, most kind hearted teacher, and she's very understanding. She never rushes when she's lecturing,because she likes to make things clear.

She is an awesome teacher! I took the spring 06. She rocks! she is helpful, kind, sweet, she is such a cutie!!

She is an aewsome teacher!!! she was very sweet and helpful. make sure to follow the outlines. take good notes and study for the tests!!

Sweet, the sweetest lady in whole campus! A lot of work in the class, but do not afraid to take her. Even if Engligh is your second language, take her.

Awesome professor! Very helpful and doesnt rush. Answers all questions you have. You need to study for her exams. Also do all your homework its easy and its worth alot of points. She lets you turn in work late also. :)

This teacher is awesome! She is very sweet person! Her lectures are interesting, she gives a lot of workseets to do in class, but all of them are pretty easy. She speaks quite slowly and understandable (recommended for ESL students!) She is very helpful teacher!

Really nice and sweet teacher she helped me a lot. Very understanding if you are going through hard time. I did get some very helpful information from the class. If you study you will get an A.

She is a great teacher!!!!! lets u turn ur work in late if need be, and really does car about teaching. she well help you will your class and understand that you do have an outside life as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Extremely NICE! Very helpul and understands if you cant make it to class sometimes. As long as you pay attention to her lectures and read the study guides it's an easy A.

This prof is very nice but gives you enough work to qualify her class as a 5 unit class. I am a 4.0 student, so I don't have a problem doing work. She admits that she probably gives more work than most of the other nutrition teachers. I would look into some of the other nutrition teachers unless you're going into nutriton as a career.

I really enjoyed this class. It is extremely difficult to keep up with all the work. But she is very good at responding to e-mails. She offers her time and if you show the interest, she will help you. Very Nice Woman!!

Marie is great.If you have something come up and need to miss a day or two shes really understanding.There is alot of work but its really easy. Turning in a couple assignments late isn't a big deal.Do the work and come to class and you'll get an A.No final or exams. Just a weelky quiz worth 10 points.She gives you the answers.

she is a very sweet lady. really feels like a college class, come and leave when best for you. she really wants all her students to pass and will let you turn assignments in late. Extra credit on tests. i really liked her class. she is very helpful and will always reply to e-mails. does not ignore you. Highly Recommend!!!

Marie has her own style, outlines already made for each lecture. She is real easy going and fun to watch.

She is very nice lady. I missed her class two times, but still she gave me a time to finish up the work. Just do your homework. Tests, and quizzes are just based on the book. She is pretty easy.

Be friend with her. She will guide when you need her. She rocks!!

She is not that hard, just do your best.

Are you kidding?I am a 4.00 student ,but this lady put all of my other classes behind with her homeworks!!!She gives a way too much!!!I still got my A ,but if you want a good grade take someone easier!!!Nice person,but too much work.

she is not as bad as everyone is saying here. she is very boring though, and sometimes lacks answers to some of the questions in class. she lets you turn most assignments late. the exams are very hard, if you don't do the study guide you wont pass.

I took her last semester and she couldn't be easier! She gives you notes, you just have to listen to lectures and fill them in. She also gives you study guides for all exams, I only used the textbook to supplement for the lectures I missed. This is a science class folks, you actually have to understand the concepts being introduced.

Professor Schirmer is a good teacher. This is not an easy class. Students actually have to attend regularly, take notes, use the outlines/study guides, prepare for exams, and turn in assignments.

She was very easy. If you look over the chap outlines, you'll get an A. I would definately take another one of her classes.

Great teacher. She provides a notes layout page for you to follow as she lectures. The tests come straight from the notes. She requires two books. For the four articles assignments i recommend going to the library and copying them from the book so you don't have to buy the book. I didn't even use the other book so share one with a friend.

does not hand back work in timely manner.do the numerous in class and take home assignments with extra credit and you should be OK. Test are not easy, study her outline.She likes nut. math!A lot of work but I did learn so much from her she really means well, ask her if in doubt, she is very helpful.

This teacher knows her subject very well! The only thing id have to say is do the homework and study hard for the tests! Tests come directly from the outlines and notes she gives out. Other than that, id say take her class, she is helpful and very nice!

I loved this teacher she might not be totally organized but she really knows what she is talking about. The test are not hard if u pay attention in class just write down what she does. Loved the class!

She test strictly from hand outs she gives in class and her lectures. She gives extra credit on every test.

There is actually very little homework in this class. The majority of the work done was notes/outlines, which were optional, to prepare for tests. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

She is wondrful! She always says that she is unorganized but she isn't. I loved how together her lectures were, she knows her stuff! Her handouts are excellent, study off of those and you will do great! I wouldn't take anyone else but her! Fantastic lady!

Easy breezy class! Loved it :) Schirmer is amazing -- she's always available during office hours, is extremely willing to help students, and gives out very simple exams. It may be harder for non-science students, but Intro to Nutrition is very interesting nonetheless :)

Cute older woman, this class is not an east A, so watch out if your looking for one. Gives print outs of notes which are extremely helpful, study guides for every chapter and crosswords right before tests all REALLY helpful with her test. STUDY and DO the study guides if you want that A. International book is okay to buy (got mine for $50)

If you are looking for an easy "A" this is not the class for you. If you are willing to show up to every class, take thorough organized notes, do quality work, and study regularly not just before the test, and handle the heavy work-load, you can get an "A". I did, but it was not easy.

Just a little old lady teaching a bunch of college kids. She's very quiet, but knowledgeable. This class is not an easy A, and requires a lot of studying. She cares a lot about nutrition and will give you a TON of information- so try not to fall asleep.

Very sweet and helpful teacher. She is too nice and people tend to talk over her. She has a passion for nutrition. Very knowledgeable.

Took nutrition 300 and 415 with her shes really nice and helpful. Just do the work and will pass the class.

Professor Schirmer is highly underrated. She genuinely cares about her students and the grade they receive. Very clear handouts, very clear instruction, opportunities for extra credit. Her tests are half multiple choice/half written. If you do the work, you'll get a good grade. Just keep in mind it takes her a while to get grades posted.

I love Dr. Schirmer. She is so sweet! The only thing is that she gives A LOT of handouts and assignments but they are all do-able. The textbooks are only used for online quizzes and lectures are in-class quizzes! She's kind and really wants you to pass. She will work with you to make sure you do! I can't say anything negative about her.

I love her class. Shes a very nice lady. She will always answer questions and make sure you understand. Her lectures are very interesting. Her grading is behind a little but I dont see a problem with it. I really liked this class and I'm going to take another class with her. I really enjoyed it. Great professor!

Dr. Schirmer care’s about her students, their health and want you to pass however, you have to work for your grade. Best way to pass. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Everything is laid out. Complete all the homework, find a study buddy, show up for class and take notes on the lecture handouts. Study notes, puzzles, study guild and the tests will be easy.

To sum up this professor, she is burnt out. She has been teaching a long time and her classes just drug on. She does care about her students though, just make sure to get to know her on a personal level it does really help.

The class is easy for a science course. She goes in more depth on the material than the book does. Although I wouldn't describe the class as "fun," the topics covered are interesting. She is personable and highly knowledgeable. Still, an A is not the easiest thing to get in her class.

Awesome and knowledgeable professor. Very helpful, she will work her office hours around your schedule if you need help. Alot of work, but you learn so much!

I really did not like professor Schirmer at first, but by the end of the semester, she was one of my favorites. Yes, she is pretty monotone. But if you take an interest in the class, ask questions and do the homework she really opens up to you. Nice class to have at 7:30 or 8:00, slow starting so you have lots of time to wake up. Loved this class!

Dr. Schirmer is a sweet lady who has an old style of teaching. Her lectures are a little monotonous and lengthy, but the content is interesting enough to keep you engaged. She can act like a grumpy grandma at times, but don't take it personally. Be prepared for a lot of paperwork. I mean, seriously, a lot of paperwork. You'll be drowning in it.

Barely used the book, only bought it cuz I needed WeyliePlus. Other textbook used for article analysis. Easy class if u pay attention. She has study guides for every ch. 1 take home & 4 tests. Yes she is monotone but very helpful. She wants u to pass. I learned alot about nutrition. Take her. U wont regret it! Shes a great teacher.

Dr. Schirmer cares about her students doing well. If you attend class, ask questions & do homework you'll well. As others have mentioned she does get behind in her syllabus and does have quite a bit of work toward the end, but its nothing that can't be managed. Buy the book used on CL, there's no need for online access as it's free at school.

Yes she is a tough teacher but if you stick it out you will learn so much. Do your homework and study for tests. She gives you the exam outlines and only tests on the information in them so there is no excuse not to get an A I have taken her for two different classes and she was always available to help me.

By far my favorite professor at ARC. She gives outlines and study guides for every test. The tests have a staggering amount of extra credit, which isn't necessarily hard. People in class who did not show up to many lectures complained the class was hard, but class was once a week on Fridays so missing a class is a big deal. 1210 would take again.

Marie is a really sweet, likeable old school professor. She has a Doctorate and she wants you to get there in one term. She give sSO much information it is overwhelming, tons of homework. Expect to spend several hours every week on homework, and 5 or 6 exams (shortest was 7 pages). Final is 19 whopping pages!!! (she will give you 3 hours though for that one).

Great professor! Very knowledgeable about nutrition. I missed class a lot in the beginning of the semester due to a death in the family. Professor Schirmer always informed me on what I missed and was very supportive through a very challenging semester. If you want to fully understand Nutrition I recommend taking her class!

She gives a lot of material, won't accept any work online, lots of papers, lots of writing. Tests aren't hard she give good study guides. The BIG MINUS she's behind her lectures all the time but lots of assignments kept coming. homework is easy but time consuming, Online quizzes had nothng to do with lectures,

This class was personally interesting/important for me. The lectures are powerpoints, and she gives you printout copies of notes; some places are blank and for you to follow along and write them down. Exams are hard, but material is straight from notes, Wiley, and of course the book. I used Wiley Plus and study guides to study and get As on exams.

Amazing professor! She is very well organized, helpful, and knows how to TEACH! If you want to learn- take this class. She is a hard grader and gives a ton of work but she does this so you can learn- after all thats what you are going to college for. If you keep up with homework you should pass the class :)

I really loved this class and would recommend it to anyone who is going to take a nutrition class. She does really make you work for a good grade and there is a lot of homework but she really knows what shes teaching so all of the assignments are very understandable. Whenever I had any questions she always answered them right away!

She has discussion board, every week, plus reading the power slides and reading the book. Plus she wants you to take a quiz to get you ready for the test. She does not have any lecture for Online so that is a setback but staying plugged in with the class mates helps to have some interaction with the school community. It would help if she had a lec

Schirmer is accessible and knows the material well. My main complaint with the class is that I felt overwhelmed; there was too much material presented, too many exams, and too many writing assignments.

very classy and respectful. yes there is work, but with the outlines and study guides, how could you not pass. just study the material as you should be doing. you have to pay attention and ask for help when needed, shes always available. theres work, but like her, its always very informative. I took so much from her class and she was wonderful!

Professor Schirmer is a great teacher and she actually cares about her students! There is a lot of homework but it is fairly easy.
