I love her class! It was very easy and she gives extra credit on the exams!
She is really sweet! She's open to all your questions and is helpful. Show up to class or you might miss some class work points that you can't make up. So come to class and pay attention and study. She gives study guides based off the tests and the power points. Overall, if you study and pay attention, it's easy
Ms. Vernoga is a saint for LPC. This class is not only informative but life changing. (Whole foods Processed Foods) Remember that & you'll pass with flying colors. She is passionate about nutrition & really wants all her students to pass. Her power points are all on Blackboard & study guides are exactly outlining what will be on the test.
Hands down best teacher I have EVER had! This lady is organized, extremely passionate, helpful, knowledgeable, funny, and the sweetest woman ever! The energy she brought to the room was incredible. Lectures were clear. 4 tests- everything on the study guides are on the tests & a "diet project" which was quite interesting.
Best teacher I had this semester! She was extremely helpful and passionate about nutrition, easy to listen to for an hour, there was only one major project which was super easy, and she gives extra credit for test' not to mention a study guide that covers the entire test. No way you could fail unless you don't study at all.
For her first time teaching, she did amazing. Her lectures were interesting and she kept students fully engaged. She was very enthusiastic and had a lot of knowledge about the subject. Her test questions were strictly based off the lectures, and it was an easy class to pass
Mrs. V is amazing! Take her! She's so sweet! Her class is easy if you pay attention and study. The study guides cover everything from the test. So study and do those for sure. Also, just come to class and pay attention. Make sure you come to class, because there is sometimes classwork worksheets. You'll love her!
Fun class. I learned a lot. Ms. V is a crack up and cute too.
Ms.V is awesome! She really goes into the nitty gritty of nutrition and has such a passion for it. She makes you want to pay attention. She gives lecture pint outs online and all test questions and quiz questions are from these. Super easy class. You have to attend because she does activities in class that are 10p each. Kinda a big deal if you miss
Ms. V is the sweetest and most helpful professor I've had at Las Positas. She wants students to succeed in their academics and also their dietary habits. It's important to attend class because she has activities and lectures to participate in, but they're really easy. Low stress class, WONDERFUL professor, easy A!
Ms. V is the best! She is so sweet and down to earth. Teaching wise, she is a GREAT teacher. She knows her subject. I had her for Nutrition 1 in fall of 2014 . Her lectures are straight to the point and she's always willing to help her students succeed. She gives out a study guide before each test and everything on there will be on the test!
Great professor. She is very clear in her grading and is very laid back. She is there to help and makes sure all her students passes the class. All of her exams are based on a study guide. It's an easy A class if you take notes and study off the study guide
She is the sweetest teacher ever! The class itself was also very interesting and I enjoyed taking it. The class is pretty social, you often get into groups to do in-class assignments which makes it a less time consuming task. If you pay attention to the lectures, you don't even need the book; she explains things very well! Easy quizzes & few tests.
Best teacher! As long as you show up and pay attention, you will easily pass. I sat in the far back but she made sure that everyone was involved (who shows interest). if you are on your phone/ computer its easy to miss some key info but she supplies notes w/ fill ins. Quiz every chapter so easy to follow. offers extra cred but don't rely on it.
She is one of the best teachers I've had at Las Positas. She is clear on her grading criteria and wants you to succeed. If you miss an assignment you must provide documentation to make it up, but she is reasonable with the type of documentation you provide. I feel like she is invested in her students and supportive.
Marsha is so sweet. You do one discussion about every week and a half and a 5 question quiz. The material is so easy. I took her online class and I did not even use the book. She makes YouTube videos for better understanding. I loved taking this class. Would definitely recommend it to others. I would've got an A if I didn't slack off but got a B+.
She is a great professor. Her lectures include videos, discussions and activities. She's passionate about the subject and cares about her students. She won't let you turn in late work or make up tests/quizzes so you have to be on top of it.
Ms. V was my favorite teacher at Las Positas by far! She is fairly new to teaching but is already such a natural & you can tell she truly cares about her students. After taking her class it gave me the extra push I needed to realize my passion & become an R.D. Even if Nutrition isnt your major take Ms V you wont regret it! :) plus she's so sweet!
I took Her online but consulted her personally for career decisions. She was the sweetest and very helpful. She wants to get to know her students and help them. Her assignments were easy to follow and as long as you do the work, easy A. Her tests were not bad if you know the material. Definitely recommend her!
Very polite and gave me a letter of recommendation for a job I was applying too. Vernoga is one of the best professors I've ever had.
Mrs. V is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She cares about her students and do will whatever it takes to help them succeed. Homework is the connect launchpad due almost every Sunday, 10 point quizzes per chapter and 3 big tests. She tells you what will be on everything so it is hard not to succeed. Great teacher and great class!!
Ms V is one of the nicest people i've encountered with and an absolutely amazing professor. She has a genuine passion for Nutrition and teaching. She is very easy to understand and cares deeply for her students. It's hard to get a professor as great as her. 10/10
Prof. Vernoga is a really nice teacher and she seems to want everyone to pass her class. She makes study guides available that has all the test material on it before the test. She also goes over things multiple times so that you can understand it better. Also answers a lot of class questions for a class that asks a lot, so also very patient.
I LOOOOOOOOVE MS. VERNOGA! She is my favorite professor. She's very helpful with assignments, gives helpful feedback when it comes to essays, projects (especially), and she provides a good amount of extra credit. Can she please teach another class, just so I can take her class!
I took her online. It was a simple, pretty easy class. The only thing I found annoying was group projects that had to be done fully online. Luckily I got paired with good team members, others weren't so lucky. Grading is specific so you know what to get done in order to get the grade you want. Defiantly recommend.
Ms. V was super chill when I had her. She made it really clear what you had to do to pass, and then just did lectures. Like for our class, we had homework due online every Sunday. And then on class days she'd just do her usual lectures and group works. It was really fun! And if she gets through all her material, she'd usually let us out early. :)
Ms. Vernoga is an amazing teacher!She has online homework that is due every Sunday. Her lectures are very interesting and fun. She has chapter quizzes at the end of the chapters. Only 3 big tests which weren't to bad as long you study. She gives out helpful study guides to help you on the tests! Highly recommended her!!
She is an amazing teacher. She has a lot of extra credit work. She really cares about every student. She wants everyone to pass. She has you buy her health book but it is very cheap and an access code online that is the only expensive thing. Only three tests that are super easy. If you do the notes in class you will pass easily. I would recommend!!
Ms. V is one of the best teachers I have had at Las Po. There are quite a few extra credit opportunities to keep up your grade. The textbook was mainly used for the final project we had to do on our eating habits. LEARNED SO MUCH IN THIS CLASS!! Consider taking it if you want to know how to eat right!
BEST TEACHER EVER !!!!
Ms. V is an amazing professor! Her online nutrition class is well organized and so easy! If you get some stuff wrong on an assignment, she will still give you an A for doing it. The quizzes are easy. Make sure you read the textbook and write down or take pictures of the questions and answers for the online Ebook assignment, it will help for test.
Ms. V was a great teacher. She made the topics interesting! We did a lot of group discussion in the class, but she never really assigned much outside of class. She's a very sweet person and was ready to help whenever it was needed.
She is super helpful, knowledgable, sweet and an amazing teacher!
Ms. V, Is and was my favorite class I've taken at Las Positas College. Her lectors were amazing. I looked forward to class every Monday and Wednesday. She always made class interesting and informative. The school and students are so lucky to have Ms. V at Las Positas College. I would take her class again and again.
I was stressing about this class at first but turned out really easy. she is A wonderful teacher. Really nice and easy to talk to. She gives you everything that will be on the test pretty much. She wants you to pass
Outstanding professor, extremely knowledgeable, methodical, and with clear expectations. She has the talent to make a difficult subject easy to understand and learn while having lots of fun. I recommend any one that has interest in improving his/her eating habits to take her classes.
The way she teaches her lectures really helps me learn, she uses videos,sketches. Really fun and informative class. She will genuinely help you. If you miss lecture the class can be a bit hard but overall a great teacher.
Ms. V lays out her expectations clearly at the beginning of of the semester. If you miss class or do not turn your work in on time, you will not do well. She tries to make the material fun and she is super passionate about the subject. I wish there was another class she taught because I would take it in a heartbeat!
Ms. V is a great teacher. Very caring and knows her stuff. Hot too!
Ms. V is hands down the most caring professor Ive had at LasPo. She made me excited about a subject I didnt really care much about. Her lectures are fun and interactive. She totally cares about students and is willing to go out of her way to help you out.
I can't believe how much I learned in this class. It is really life changing. I think Ms. V is awesome. You have to take her class!
Ms. V has been one of the best professors I have ever had. She is very passionate about nutrition & health. She remembered all the names in class after the first week, is quick to email you back if you need help, and always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this class.
Knowing I had to take this for my credits I was very stressed about passing, if you show up and do what you need to do as well as do her extra credit work, passing is a breeze. Highly recommend!
Literally the most amazing human being ever. You have to show up, participate and take lots and lots of notes or youll struggle. Shes so passionate about nutrition and cares about all of her student. She managed to remember all of our names after only 2 weeks. If youre struggling with anything shell help. I could go on and on but shes amazing!
I would say if you don't show up and participate, you are screwed. With that said, Ms. V is amazing. Her lectures are not boring and she cares about us as students. She is pretty strict when it comes to not turning stuff in late or makeup work in general but she warns us throughout the semester that's her policy. I would def recommend her!
I took Ms. V's online class. She always emailed back right away and kept the class on track. I recommend.
This class will change the way you view your diet, very informative, very fun, never a boring day. Ms. V is always helpful when you ask questions and always keeps the class engaged.10/10 . The only way you don't get an A or B is if you don't go to class.
THE BEST THERE IS! gah I could rant about Prof V for days! She's such a sweetheart and really is passionate about the subject. In class group quizzes. 1 big project divided into 2 sections with a partner, 2 exams all based on your study guides. MAKE SURE to do the online homework's on time (I lost a lot of points for that) & she offers extra credit
Ms. Vernoga was a great Professor & a friend to me. She was very understanding, & her lectures were never boring. If you dont understand something, she is always willing to listen after class or even before. She gives pop up quizzes after her PowerPoint lectures. & I would recommend to go to class every time, as your notes will help you w/ exams.
Loved this class! She makes it easy by really emphasizing what she wants you to know and the way she has you review it a couple times in class helps you remember it without even really having to study! You'll definitely learn a lot and have fun in this class! She gives very specific study guides that line up exactly with her lectures!
Ms. V is probably among the best teachers I have had. She has a very clear grading criteria and syllabus and is supportive. She genuinely wants her students to learn and do well. If you do all the work, I think you will get a good grade in her class and on exams. The work done is relevant and structured for learning.
Ms. V is incredibly passionate about her subject and teaching. However, that also means she is very particular and specific about what she wants. You have to WORK for your A. Expect multiple group projects, several exams, and lots of reading. Her lectures were interesting and she offers a lot of feedback on work. Just be prepared to work for it.
I took Ms. V's online class. It was a lot more work than I expected, but all the assignments made sense and it helped me learn the material. Her online class has PowerPoints, video lecture, quizzes, projects, exams and also 3 group projects/discussions. Overall, she was caring and very supportive!
Ms. V is a great communicator, she is clear of her expectations. Get ready to work as this is not an easy A. Work can be very tedious so don't wait last minute. Great class to pair with physiology for nursing major as she goes through the digestive system in details.
Ms V is awesome, the tests aren't bad but a large part of your grade is from three to four group projects which can be tough if you have bad classmates. she gives extra credit that raised my grade around 6-7 percent to a high 90 and she really cares about what she is taking. very interesting course that has a lot of real life applications.
Ms. Vernoga was a good professor for Nutrition 1. There were no zoom lectures as the class was asynchronous, but she posted video lectures that were pretty important in passing the class. She's a tough grader but offers a few extra credit assignments. I'd say take the class if you're ready for work.
This was a decent class. I took it asynch but she does post video lecture vids that are very helpful. You do have to actually know what you're talking about to get 100%. There were 4 big group projects through the semester, but the final is EXTREMELY easy in consequence. I would take her again I just wish I knew more about the work load going in.
She is an amazing professor. I took her nutrition class online for the spring of 2021. 4 group projects were super easy, weekly quizzes, reading the book is necessary but not difficult, the tests can be confusing in terms of wording but she lets you use notes on the tests, and lastly, she overall cares about your grade as well as you overall.
Ms V is very knowledgeable about nutrition and is a very caring person. She was consistently available for any questions or concerns and is a clear communicator. There were a few group projects and overall a course load that makes you work for a good grade. This isn't a class you can fake, you have to put in the work... she does offer extra credit!
She is very nice however she assigns so much work! About 4 group projects with your classmates. Lots of chances for extra credit! Seriously a lot! She posts video lectures but I found most answers to the tests and quizzes online. She definitely assigns busy work and can be a tough grader on discussions/projects.
I took Ms. V's class in Fall 2021. Honestly, I was scared of the work load going in and the group projects, but in the end it was an AWESOME class. She has really fun video lectures, study guides and all the activities and projects helped me learn the material. She is one of the most supportive professors I've ever had!
Just don’t take this class. Perfection in your answers is what’s expected. You’re required to write in every single little detail for every assignment. It’s the most time consuming class out of all the classes you will be taking, combined.
Paying a $94 digital access code is useless when she uploads 2-4 hours lecture videos. You're paying just to send her homework electronically. You can be specific and detailed in your writing but for some odd reason, she still is always unsatisfied with the responses. Her prompts are vague. The class is unnecessarily time-consuming.
I took Ms. V's online class. She is super organized and provides lecture videos, so it's just not reading the textbook. She gives good feedback and we can turn in rough drafts to her before anything is submitted so we can get full points on assignments. She's super caring and wants you to pass the class!
LOVE MS V best professor I've ever had, very understanding, friendly, kind, and definitely knows her material. This class was so informational and helpful I wish I could take every class with her. No other words needed, TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
One of my favorite professors! If I could take her class again I would! I've learned so much from her class and feel so much more confident about the knowledge I have on nutrition. She's extremely engaging and is genuinely passionate about what she teaches! Workload is very manageable, and she is so easy to approach. Also a lot of ec opportunities!
Seems peaches and cream till you weeks into the class, you have a free trial for the textbook she wants you to use but the trial last for two weeks and is about $100, ALSO you NEED the textbook to do homework. Doesn't really answer questions on time. If you take her please be aware of this. Good Luck ;)
She's a cool teacher. her homework and quizzes were through the online textbook and were easy points. the discussions and diet project were graded, but as long as you do all the work, you will get a good grade in this class. her lectures were cool and you get to use your study guides on exams. extra credit too. glad to take this class.
Ms. V's class is never boring! You have a lot of group work and discussions, so it's not only lectures. She is very caring and will go out of her way to help you. She is one of the best teachers.
she is such an amazing professor. She has such a bright personality, and her content is so intersting and engaging. tbh if you're taking nursing pre reqs this class is very informative towards your future career, such a good class and such an amazing teacher.
Ms. V is great; she's really knowledgable! Her course was a bit time-consuming, with several group projects (discussion posts & a final presentation) and hw, quizzes/exams, & lectures. Had to timestamp each lecture for certain concepts to answer discussion post prompts. Overall, learned a lot, and the prof was very caring and checked in every week.
by far the best professor I've had throughout 3 years at LPC
SO SO SWEET!! Such a genuinely caring professor who made sure to learn names, teach things that were relevant to us, and allow us to comfortably participate.
i had ms v for my intro to nutrition class & i loved her. she was super nice & helpful & she always tried to make complex chapters simple. from what i remember, she had homework due every two weeks that took me about an hour to do. i would definitely recommend this class but i highly suggest you go to class every day because there's lots of notes.
Professor V is my favorite professor! She is amazing at teaching and so kind. Her class does require some work as there are at least an hour of lecture videos every week or two and she has high expectations for discussion posts. Don't expect an easy A, but putting in a little effort will get you a great grade.
great person would take the class again. this was an online introduction to nutrition class and it is very lecture heavy with minimal assignments.
Mrs. V is a great teacher. Her homework was easy but their are lots of group projects. There are only 2 Unit Exams and it is easy only if you have watched the lectures, some questions are tricky. She gives out extra credit!
Prof. Vernoga is an awesome professor! Although I took an asynchronous course, she provided us with detailed lecture videos and an easy to follow study guide to go along with. Instructions were very clear and test/projects were on the easier end. She was quick to respond to emails and very nice in her communication.
She is a really helpful professor, and her class is easy to follow. She offers extra credit at the end of the semester if you need it too.
Professor Vernoga's class is very well organized. As long as you take notes and follow the study guide questions while watching her lectures, you should be set up for success on the exams. There were a few group assignments. Overall her lectures are very informative and the assignments help you to understand the information.
I took this class during the summer and it was a lot of work, but manageable. Her assignments are actually really fun, like putting together a balanced meal plan and I learned a ton of information that really stuck with me. Her study guides are super helpful and her prerecorded lectures are very straightforward and easy to understand.
Ms. V is extremely nice and positive. You'll receive a good grade if you engage with the course materials and put effort into your assignments. She offers ample extra credit opportunities and communicates well with the class. This was for the Sports Nutrition class (NTRN5) as an accelerated online course.
She's cool. Took her online sports nutrition class and learned a ton. Fun assignments and no exams. You do need to put in effort though… but if you do you will get a good grade,
Asynchronous class was very straightforward with good time management. Leaves encouraging comments on assignments. Used online textbook where there was quite a bit of reading to be done, depending on how you take notes and what method of retaining information/learning style fits you.
I absolutely loved Ms. Vernoga's class! She's amazing. She explains concepts clearly and makes sure students truly understand the assignments. We had partner projects that were easy and engaging and helped learn collaboratively. She's approachable, supportive, and makes the class enjoyable. I would definitely take her class again.
