This nutrition class seemed more like a science class than I expected. With as much info learned it should have more units like a science class. Great teacher, but take her class over a regular semester. I had it duing summer and that was too much info in too few class days!! She is a little touchy about people questioning her,but not too bad.

This was a great class. A lot of information presented, but Professor Mukutmoni made it manageable. A few tests (not so easy), 5 point weekly quizzes (open book), and a diet analysis project. She offers so much extra credit though its impossible to not do well, so take advantage of it! I did all extra credit available and got a fairly easy A.

She constantly forgets to post the exams (this was an on-line class)and then lies about it and says that the students just didn't see them.

She is so far behind in grading the assignments - the class is over and she still hasn't graded stuff from week 5.

I agree with the previous comments about her grading timelines. It's true, it does take her forever and we didn't have all our stuff graded before our final.

She likes to make you jump through hoops and fail you, no matter how much work you put into an assignment. She has ridiculous criteria, that has nothing to do with the content of the reports, or the class. Worst professor I've had to date. She is not there to make you successful. I regret this class with this professor.

If you're looking for an easy A with no effort, keep looking. If you're passionate about nutrition & want a prof who is passionate about what she teaches, you've found your class! Dr. M has awesome video/ppt lectures for her online classes. She is clear about grading criteria and due dates, and her class is very well organized. I learned so much!

The only reason I was able to even understand what she was trying to say is bc ive taken chem, physio, anatomy, & micro. This is nothing more than a "Doctor" teaching at a jr college. Taught myself the entire class. She makes NO SENSE and expects you to act like you're a nutrition major. There are other options, use them. This is 3 units. Not 5.

I took her nutrition class and I LOVED her. She was by far my favorite instructor, she made class so fun. I felt she really went over the material well, as I never once cracked open my textbook. DO the extra credit, you'll be glad, and it's not that hard. The tests were moderately difficult, but everything on them was covered in lecture.

This professor is very vague in what she expects and doesn't clear things up much when you email her. Her grammar in assignments and on tests are not always great either and can skew the understanding of what she means. You don't get much time for online tests, and I have felt rushed every single time. Overall, very frustrating professor.

Nutrition shouldn't be a hard class, or at least as hard as this professor made it. Especially if you're freshman, look out. Just take another professor for this class & save yourself the extra stress. If you're looking for an easy A or B even C, run the other way...

Lots of homework

I found this class to be interesting and informative. As long as you do the work and follow her rubric you will be fine. My only complaint is, she sometimes comes off a little bit rude but I also know sometimes communication through online sources can be misinterpreted.

I learned a lot of useful information in this class and I am so happy that I took it. The quizzes and tests were very straightforward and based on the lectures. Dr. M is a great teacher if you like a structured class, and she is very specific with her criteria. Dr. M is overall an amazing and caring teacher, and made the class very enjoyable!

Worst Professor I have had thus far, how we are addressed in class emails is unprofessional, the times allowed for quizzes taken online are unreasonable when you have multiple students on different levels when it comes to the math, yet she expects that every student can complete 10 questions in 10 minutes when 4 of the 10 are require scratch paper.

This class was very lecture heavy, as each class consisted of at least an hour long lecture EVERY SINGLE DAY. Lectures were quite boring as well, and felt non interactive. This class educated me about nutrition but it was no fun at all. I thought tests were too long and hard as the tests would conist of 50+ questions each time from multiple chapter

Very lecture heavy class, prof is unorganized and can be condescending towards students. Homework was easy and tests were hard, instructions were unclear at times. Lots of grammar/spelling mistakes on tests/homework. I didn't find the class too hard, it just wasn't the most exciting class.

Just awful. She is so disorganized and gives out confusing instructions on assignments and makes you pay for it. Long boring lectures all the time as well. For someone who's been teaching for 20 years you really can't tell because of how poorly she teaches the material. Beware!

Most boring lectures ever, doesn't reply to emails so don't even bother. The tests are super long, like 50 questions. She gives way too many instructions and wants things submitted a certain way that doesn't work for Mac computers. She clearly doesn't use Mac. I would not take her class again. Awful and rude professor.

"Dr. M" is the worst professor I've had thus far; she would probably be more useful in a high school setting. SOOO condescending and rude when I would try to ask questions or clarify a point in the lecture. Nitpicky about grading yet only gives one chance to turn things in. She was also at least 5-10 minutes late to EVERY unorganized lecture given.

Although I only got a B in this class, I would take her class again in a heartbeat!! She lectures daily and she runs a tight ship with her class. She is very caring and wants to see her students succeed. Attending class is mandatory because you learn a lot every day. She is a very tough grader too. She is my favorite teacher at Sierra.
