This professor knows her stuff! She will scare you at first, but her class is really easy and interesting! She LOVES her subject and it comes across and will make you want to learn! Almost EVERYONE loved her! Take her class!!!

She is helpful, know her stuff very well. It's a interesting class and she always motivate you learn the knowledge. Take her class!!!

take her! easy, smart, nice. finals were easy. assignments & projects were too.

Her lectures DON'T put you to sleep. Good energy, reasonable, understanding, and fair. You can learn a lot from he aside from just the course. Take her class!

Great teacher and easy class. Read the chapters and take good notes and you'll ace her class. She tends to get carried away with her stories and lectures ran a little long. Wish she'd teach another science course.

Love this professor!!she can really make nutrition interesting. i recommend taking her during long semesters instead of intersessions. You can really learn a lot from her. I love her lectures. It was very interesting and funny.

Wow, she is sooo easy. I got A++++++++ in her class because she gives us a lot of extra credit. Very excellent teacher.

Easy (A) everybody!!! just listen to her lecture,you dont even have to take notes. OH, but make sure you do your E.C. if you dont you could probably still get a B, but come on, save that B for micro of Physio.

The BEST teacher I've ever had!

This course is University style teaching. She only lectures, & it's up to yourself to take notes & complete the hmwrk on-line. 1 assignment is only turned in on paper, the rest is on-line. If you don't pay attention & sleep throughout the class - you're screwed on the tests. Final is 4-5 chapters.

Pretty easy class. Just do the assignments and quizes(sometimes she gives you two times to do the same quiz. and you definilly get a on that quiz because the same answer)Also remember to do the EC!! it really helps the grade. I got a F on Final, but my total grade still a "B"

Very willing to help. Offers extra credit that will help your grade. Just read and study and you will do fine. Got an "A" in her class.

Her class is not hard but, she is unfair. The final was said to be multiple choice, infact it was fill in the blank. She is hard on grading with projects. Her logic to grades makes no sense. I'm a "A" student and I got a B. I don't recommend taking her class.

Had to take this class for a prereq - and wasn't at all interested. This teacher was really easy, and interesting - IF you paid attention, and did the assignments. I'm glad I took her.

I like her teaching style very much! She always encourages students and make the class very interesing! She is great!

Teacher is fun, but there is quite a bit of science involved. It'll be more difficult if you don't have some Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology or (Micro)Biology classes behind you.

one of the best teachers in PCC!

She really wants you to "ace the tests". You will take online tests on each chapter plus midterm and final. She seems hard at the begining but gets easier and easier towards the end of the semester. She will try to scare you out of the class the first meeting, but stick around. She lectures from the book. The tests cover the book. Just read the boo

Dr. P is a nice woman. She gives interesting lectures. She's quite strict though. You really need to read to get high grades in her class. I like Dr. P's practicality. I learned a lot from her. Nyways she's good overall.

I took her on-line class and I will recommend to everyone who needs to take nutrition and doesn't want a standard class. The on-line course was very helpful, she was overall always there to answer questions and when you think that you should have gotten an answer right on a test and you tell her, she gives you the point...very good teacher.

her online class was great.The quizzes werent that easy, but the assignments will help ur grade a lot. she offers extra credit. Everything is based on reading

She is nice & helpful. Just do all the assignments, take all the online quizes, and read ahead for extra credit. Midterm and final are pretty easy if you study.

This is NOT the Priya Venkatesan from Dartmouth. The Pasadena instructor teaches nutrition (MS and RD degrees). The Dartmouth Priya is now at Northwestern in Chicago.

This class is SUPER easy. I literally would skim through the chapters before the test and then take it, and always did well. Since the assignments and quizzes are open for 1 week at a time, you can pretty much learn at your own pace which is nice. There is no reason you shouldn't get at least a B in this class.

Professor Venkatesan is the best! She requires her students to be responsible & do the required work at a college level writing(that is not much to ask). At first one has to orient themself to her online web sight, but once you do that it is a breeze! She does respond to your questions & help's her student's. I highly reccommend her!!!!

loved this class... it is not hard at all and her test are easy....anybody could get an A in the class....highly recommend her for online...

She is GREAT! The class is not too hard as long as you study the material. I learned a lot and Prof. Venkatessan really cares about her students. I took the online class and she was right there with us. Take her if you can get her.

SUPER EASY AND LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT! She was always there to answer any questions. Took the online class and she's super nice and funny!!

I'm currently taking Professor Venkatesan, and I'm really enjoying the class. If you do whats needed, then you will get a good grade in the course. She's good at her job.

This class was easy. Just take some time to actually read the book and you will get an A+ on everything. Only had to dedicate 2 hours a week for this class. If you are lazy and dont want to even read...dont take the class.

She is a great Professor! Took her nutrition course online and I couldn't have asked for a better class. Extremely easy! Gives extra credit but if you do all of the assignments you will be fine. Take her! No hesitations (:

Professor Venkatesan is an awesome teacher. The materials given are self explanatory. The text book is a valuable resource In order to achieve in her class. She does want you to succeed. She does give extra credit. You must put in the time to learn. You will do fine.

She was very helpful, nice, and made her assignments clear. Usually a week of online work consisted of 3 assignments and 2 quizzes. Missing an assignment can hurt you, so just put some effort in to all of them and you'll pass the class.

Took this class instead of Health for the AREA E requirements during the summer. Easy class overall. lectures, discussions, and quizzes on weekly basis and one final exam. There are also tons of easy assignments available towards the end that you can get a maximum of 150 extra credit from.

Excellent online professor. Gives you insights on grading. Answers emails within 24 hours. Always give updates on a regular basis. Discussions are really open and educational. Excellent source of class if you're a nursing major.

Professor Venkatesan is an awesome teacher!

Profoessor Venkatesan, Priya is very kind, and list our assignment clearly. When I questions to ask, she will reply to me in a short time.

Professor wants you to succeed so, as long as you work hard, you should do well!

It was a very easy class. I spent maybe 2-3 hours a week doing assignments and quizzes. Honestly, i did not learn a lot in this class, because i noticed she does not even read my work. So I gave up on trying hard. She would give a full credit for minimal amount of work.

The class is really straight forward. Make sure you don't miss any assignments, because some of the assignments are worth a lot. She offers extra credit at the end of the quarter. It's honestly a really easy class, just don't slack off.

No issues with this class. Professor is clear and assignments are actually fun. I took this class online and it was great. Assignments are repetitive but the professor had good reasons for it and it helped on the final. Overall great class, easy but by the end of it you remember the material and it's useful to life outside of class

great class an teacher glad i chose her as my instructor

This was my first online class at pcc. There are a lot of assignments due each week due to the course only being 8 weeks but all the assignments are fairly easy if you put in the work. It may be overwhelming if you are taking a lot of other classes at the same time. I was taking 3 other 16 week courses and I seemed to mange fine.

Took her online. It was a stress-free course. I think that is what she intended. As long as you do most or all of the assignment, you should be able to pass the class with an A. There is no makeup for late work. And the quizzes can be difficult if you don't read. There are no guidelines on what to focus. But you get three attempts at the quizzes.

She is very helpful and a great professor. Whenever you don't understand a topic, she won't stop explaining until you understand the topic.

Wish it wasn't only 6 weeks with her, she is an amazing professor. Everyday she started off by giving us a motivational speech, and always looked forward to helping her students in need. She gave out a free textbook and had 10 to rent......... FOR FREE. Bless her heart! The course was very easy, consisted of online quizzes, and reading the content

She's a great professor ! Really cares about students & loves Nutrition

wonderful professor perfect class

Excellent teacher!

Very informative way of teaching through the use of detailed power point

She's an amazing teacher to have! She's always giving feedback on your work & encourages you to do good. She also has an extra credit assignment to raise your grade up if you're behind. You do get plenty of time to finish the assignments, just in case you get caught up in your personal life & need time. I loved taking her class!

She was amazing! She grades clearly and the assignments were not tough. I was able to enjoy the material instead of stress over it. Definitely take the course with her if you can!

8-Week Summer class; Have 2 weeks before end of session to turn in 9 MC quizzes that you have 3 chances to try for 100% w/o penalty; 1 short answer quiz; you may get dropped if you don't do 1 quiz/week though. 3 discussion posts; 1 big writing project; Extra credit w/lots of points; 1 final MC online exam. I didn't use book, got an A.

Grading criteria was clear and easy to follow. All assignments were easy to understand and any questions about assignments would be answered fast by other students or the professor herself. She graded assignments almost immediately and it was overall a positive and great learning experience.

This class was definitely an easy A. You just have to stay on top of the assignments (which aren't hard at all) and do the quizzes (Which you have PLENTY of time to do). This really is a stress free class. I took this class over the fall semester and she is really nice. She even gives you breaks between the modules!

Super easy A just complete assignments and you will get full credit. Weekly quizzes that you can retake up to 3 times! Gives 50pt extra credit opportunity at the end of the semester.

What a great professor! I took her online 6 week course in the Winter. All of the assignments are very easy to understand. You can learn so much in this course, you just need to stay on top of the reading. The professor responded to any questions I had very quickly. I would definitely recommend taking this course with Professor Venkatesan.

Professor Venkatesan is a very caring professor, she sent out weekly reminders to get the work done. She ensures that she wants you to pass. Not too much work given but you must get the work done throughout the week. Easy A in the class if you just do the work needed1

I took her for a 6-week online course and would definitely take her again! She cares about her students and wants them to pass. She makes herself available to her students, and is clear about what she wants. She also provides a lot of material and resources to better understand the content.

Professor sends out a lot of reminders to keep you on top of your work so you can receive a goof grade in the class.

Great Professor! She really cares about her students

Took her online class and enjoyed it. The class moves at a steady pace which is nice if u have other classes as well. She gives you plenty of time to do the assignments and overall was just a nice professor. Sends out many reminders to keep you on track.

Professor Priya is honestly one of the best professors I've had at PCC. She's very helpful and definitely wants you to pass. Definitely take it online since most of the work is turned in online. And her book helps too. Do the homework and pass the quizzes and you'll get an A. As long as you have over 630 points, you're good!

Good class, I learned a lot of new things. The professor provides lots of interesting activities that are very relatable to real life situations. Make an effort to do all the activities and you will pass this class.

I highly recommend this class. Very sweet, caring professor. Gives good feedback on assignments. Be sure to do assignment ahead of time so youll get a good grades which is very easy, promise you.

Took online class in Spring 2019. Follow/complete the assignments and you'll pass. Easy class. Passed class without purchasing textbook. Would take her class again!

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! I freaked out when I realized that her book was $80 but I read from one of the reviewers that the book was not necessary. She only gives ONE assignment that requires the book and the rest of the material can be found online. Complete your assignments on time and you should get an A++++++! I'm not kidding she is that easy!

I took Nutrition 11 online for Winter 20. The class was very easy. she gave 3-4 assignments that were due weekly. Instructions are very clear in her assignments. The only thing I did not like was that you had to buy her book for $80 which only contained 18 pages! I honestly look at the textbook 2-3 times. Other than that, it's an easy A.

Took her online class for nutrition and it was an easy A! 3-4 assignments are due weekly, there were about 3 quizzes and a final which was easy. We had to purchase the textbook which was $80! It honestly wasnt worth it we only used it for 1 assignment.

Professor venkatesan is a very caring professor. She takes time to explain things clearly and always trys to motivate her students. She makes sure you succeed and makes the course as easy as possible. Would definitely recommend her

Professor Priya is very gracious in her course, and cares more about students learning the material than about hard deadlines. She will work with you and makes herself available. As long as you try, you will do very well!

I am unsure about negative comments about the professor. I took her for winter 2021 nutrition class. The course was very organized. The due date was every Monday. The module opens on Wednesday. Tuesdays were the rest days. She was easily accessible via email. She gives out at least 100 points in extra credit! points are out of 400 / >500 possible

She gives multiple chances on quizzes and finals to pass. Honestly don't know how you can fail the class. She gives you two weeks to go through modules and turn in assignments. Seems like as long as you give effort and thought into your assignments, full points are given. I didn't buy the book and just used the info she provides in modules and nice

This class is an easy A. It is basically up to you how much effort you want to put in and how much you want to learn. The online class is pretty much self study and assignments are not difficult. If you do the assignments, you will get an A in this class. She also gives a ton of extra credit and is very caring. You don't need to buy a book either.

She is really an exceptional professor. She really care for her students success. She gives you extra credit and its your fault if you dont pass her class. I hope she will be the same as other professors who will help and give their students.

Do not listen to any of the negative reviews. Professor Venkatesan is very organized. Her assignments are detailed and the grading criteria is very clear. You have 2 weeks to finish your work. Tests and quizzes are not timed and very easy. Just make sure you do your assignments. Final exam study guide was very helpful. Easy A and you learn a lot!

she's awesome! lots of extra credit, no way you can fail just do the work and participate!!! textbook not needed you can find most of the information online or on the links she has provided.

Easy A! Assignments consist of matching games, discussions, and critical thinking/reflective questions. She provides a free online textbook. Super organized, and we work in 3-week cycles; you have so much time to complete the assignments, don't slack off. Quizzes are super easy. Take her you won't regret it!!!

Professor Venkatesan's online nutrition class was one of the easiest and informative class I have ever taken. 3 week cycles to get homework done and there were no tests except for the final which was 25 questions. It was a very relaxed course, just do not procrastinate and wait for the last second to do homework. The textbook was free.

Professor Venkatesan is wonderful! Her lectures are amazing and she cares about her students. Study and you will do great.

Her class was amazing! You should be able to receive an easy A. But you do need to be able to stay on track with the amount of points that are necessary. I would definitely take this class again.

took her 2022 spring course. textbook is mandatory but is luckily free & easy to navigate. lectures were in person, but homework was submitted online. she assigns work via a point system. her assignments are super short and easy; you respond to articles that she posts which are nutrition related. lectures are interesting too! 10/10.

Please take this course if you are interested in nutrition. It was so fun having her as my Professor. She really cares that you have work outside of school and she does not make you spend most of your time on her assignments. She also gives extra credit. Amazing person!

An a amazing professor

Professor Venkatesan is very caring about her students. The class is an easy A as long as you do your assignments. All assignments are online and are due on Sunday night. Also, she grades by total points instead of percentage.

This is my favorite teacher ever. She is very caring and as long as you do the work adequately you will pass with an A.

One of my favorite teachers at PCC! Very friendly and easy to work with. You can easily pass as long as you do the assignments & discussions :)

amazing nutrition teacher. learned a lot as well and a good amount of work to complete.

Professor Venkatesan is great teacher for the online course for Nutrition 025! We used free sources from online, so I saved a bunch of money, and thankfully the chapters were interesting and not too intrusive. The videos and assignments she did assign were far from overwhelming, and the assignments were clear and due each Sunday, but CAN'T be late!

She is very caring understanding and helpful, she tries to help you save money by giving an online book. She has great sense of humor & cares about your learning.

eeaaaasssyy A

Eassssssssy A but I didn't really do my assigments but it a easy class

Very laid back course. Just follow the modules. Very few assignments.

The easiest class I've ever taken. Needed honors class for credit so this class was perfect. She is so caring and reminds you to finish your work! Only 1 assignment every other week tbh. Quizzes and the final is easy. JUST TAKE HER CLASS!

The best Professor at PCC. This is the honors course, she is very caring, and willing to guide you to the path of succeed. Overall, a very enjoyable class.

This class is very straightforward and not time consuming at all. If you need the credit I highly recommend. The material is interesting and she is very kind and responds to emails quickly. There are very few assignments and the final. She also offers a lot of extra credit during the semester if you need it. Definitely take this class!!

Such a fun professor! Super easy A! She always made sure for us to prioritize our happiness and well being than stressing out about school! TAKE HER

Asynch 6 week winter class; Easy A, few easy assignments and easy exams.

weekly reading, few assignments, easy weekly quizzes with more than one attempt

weekly reading, quizzes, and some simple assignments/activities. she kept frequent communication with us despite it being an asynch class, and she was ready to help if needed. just do the assignments and and quizzes on time, and you'll be good to go!

Honestly a great professor. Gives you 100 points extra credit in the beginning of class and the assignments themselves aren't too bad. The reading may be a little tedious, but you'll get through it. Honestly you shouldn't struggle much in this class.

Professor Priya is the best; she interacts with students, communicates well with students, and makes nutrition enjoyable and engaging. Overall the best teacher ever.

She's the sweetest person ever! She works with you to help you understand the material a lot of group work and little bit of homework. Tests are straight forward as her lectures consist of her doing the assignments with you. Just review them before quizzes or exams and you'll you excellent!

Professor Venkatesan's NURT011 class is a breeze! Easy assignments and exams make it a great GPA booster. Though the content may not be too engaging, Unstuck AI helped me stay on top of the material. Overall, a solid choice for a low-stress elective.

Professor Venkatesan is a really great professor! Her class is very very easy and you learn a lot throughout her modules. I took her 8 week course which consisted of 2 assignments per week but was very manageable!

Dr. Venkatesan was a great online instructor for the summer. Her grading is very clear and she gives plenty of extra credit. I learned a lot from her class. She is so kind!

took it online over the summer. literally the easiest class ever. 2-3 asgns every week (quizzes, discussions, and/or reflection activities) that take at most 30 min to complete in total. quizzes, exams are all mcq. no ec was offered. doesn't take late work. very easy to get an A in, just turn in asgns on time and review for quizzes/exams.

Professor Venkatesan was really funny and engaing. She made the class interesting and I looked forward to it. She is very understanding. She gives a lot of extra credit if you need to make up any assignments. Some homework but it does not take much time.

Professor Priya Venkatesan is caring and shows an easy, clear way to learn. Her assignments are straightforward, and she always acknowledges effort as long as you try. She's very encouraging and supportive. I would definitely take her again.

Took her online because I couldn't get in person and it was so smooth reading and just a little bit of quizzes after the reading like 2 papers definitely recommend

Please take her!! Her assignments were really fun to do while also learning about human nutrition. Such a nice person and caring.
