Open notes exams, very nice professor. Easy class overall. Would take again.

She's a great professor. I wish she started teaching next semester, though, since she was out for a bit at the beginning for her wedding, but regardless of that she's super understanding and is easily accessible. There's a lot of information in this course, but she makes it easy to understand. I'd take her again!

Take this professor! She's so nice and caring. She also gives you nutritional advice if you ask her. The lectures are good too and she gives extra credit if you show up to class every day.

Honestly one of the best and chill professors I have had. She is nice and can help with anything. She is also very trustworthy.

Definitely recommend this professor! She always made sure the lectures were interesting and she was very helpful in making sure the knowledge taught was useful and applicable to real life. Super nice and always gives helpful information

This is her first class ever and I honestly think she did incredibly. She's beyond respectful and knows her information. Lovely professor, wish her the best.

New to teaching but willing to help every students, gives lots of extra credit if you show up first to class.

She is a young and kind professor that is always willing to help.

This was a great class! Very interesting and easy to get a good grade as long as you do your work. All concepts are communicated during lectures so going to class is very beneficial especially to prepare for exams.

This professor was very enthusiastic about her field of study. She was super helpful in understanding the material and gave advice relating to the course after class.

Shes a good prof her class isn't hard. I feel like the test are a little harder because they are like almost 50 questions so you do have to study even though its open notes. If you do all the assignments (which are easy) then you'll pass the class.

Great professor and a great class. Only midterm and final both open notes

Great and practical lectures. The midterm and final are worth 25% of the class. Homework is worth 50%. Quizzes are worth 20%. Very easy grader. If you study the powerpoints and homework you should be good for the tests. Overall, great course!

Great professor! Highly recommend. She is very understanding and is clear on what you must do.

Mrs. Uddin (married now) knows her stuff. She's super understanding if you're having any issues and reach out. I missed our midterm and she went OUT OF HER WAY to let me make it up, organizing a one-on-one zoom call over the break so she could answer any questions I had (and of course to make sure I wasn't cheating). Take her.

Very understanding and can make accommodations if needed. Attendance isn't mandatory but she gives extra credit sometimes if you show up. Class was canceled quite a few times since she's very busy sometimes, so always check canvas for messages. Open notes for exams.

Don't let my C speak for her teaching I had my own struggles outside of the class. She communicates well with her students and gives many opportunities for extra credit and cares about all of her students. Please take all of her opportunities, even just to talk or ask random questions after class. She is a very amazing person.

Professor Deringer is amazing. She makes class lectures very interesting. Quizzes and Home works are very easy and they help to bump grade. She does really good reviews before each exam. You are allowed to have notes in the exams.

Rianna made sure that everyone had a healthy relationship with food and health when discussing nutrition and was an incredibly great conversationalist outside of class that made me feel included and an important part of the class.

The Professor really cares about students. She is super understanding and is open to any type of question which is great in nutrition class because we could freely talk about our health concerns and she gave us actual relevant recommendations.

Very easy to approach and helpful with any questions.

This professor is truly amazing. She is a great teacher, very caring and patient. Respect her students and gives lots of extra credit. There's not a lot of homework or tests, attendance is also not mandatory.

She simplified the course and made it very easy to understand. Lots of weather issues caused classes to be cancelled and she adapted all lectures very well. The workload is consistent in that there are homework assignments and a quiz due each week, but it's all extremely easy to manage.

This professor is amazing and caring. She made the class easy to understand, and the workload is easy to manage.

Very nice and caring professor. Will allow you to make up assignments as long as you communicate with her. My only gripe is that I felt like the lectures were a little fast-paced other than that you'll pass as long as you do the homework assignments. Definitely recommend taking her you won't regret it.

This Professor was nice and she was always ready to teach the class. And she know how to explain thing better for us to understand. I would recommend this class to others because is was interesting.

Professor Uddin, is amazing. She makes class lectures very interesting and fun to learn. Quizzes and Home works are very easy and they help to bump grade. She does really good reviews before each exam. You are allowed to have notes in the exams.Great professor! Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed Mrs. Deringer's class as I feel she brings a really good energy to the class. Even though this was not a class that I would have choose as my first option, i ended up really enjoying it and I found out myself being really interested on the topics we were discussing.

Very good with lecture review before tests and exams. Easy course just make sure you do everything on time. Homework is very important.

Professor Deringer has been my favorite professor I've ever taken. She's is so caring towards her students, & very respectful of your time. Her lectures are interesting and makes the class fun/entertaining to go to. Her HWs and Quizzes are very simply and easy, they bump your grade. Her exams reviews were very useful! I would 100% taken again!!

Attendance not mandatory, but highly recommended, and she gives you extra credit for coming to reviews.

Attendance not mandatory, but you will get extra credit for going to class, and extra credits for the tests if you attend the days for the reviews

This professor is very kind and understanding. Lectures are easy to understand and straightforward. Very good science course to take.

I would definitely take professor Deringer's class again. She is super caring and her lectures are very interesting. She makes sure to provide her class all of the material they need in order to succeed in her class. It will be an easy class if you attend her lectures and pay attention. Overall, the workload isn't as much but she does send homework

Professor is very great at explaining concepts and is there to help if you have any questions regarding lectures. She is very kind.The workload isn't much. It is easy to manage.I would definitely take this class again!

Prof. Deringer truly knows about everything she teaches, and makes everything so easy to understand. She is also very kind and caring about all of her students, and wants to see everyone succeed. She is so friendly to talk to and is always there to help with whatever you need. She also prepares you so well for midterms/finals. 10/10

She's so sweet. She cares about everyone. So understanding, she can help with anything u need. A lot of homework, quizzes, examine in the lockdown browser. Sometimes she gives extra credit in class. Her class is not hard at all. Take her, you will not regret it. With her class will be easy. I recommend)

An amazing professor. If you can take her DO IT she made the class very easy and understandable. She's happy to answer any question. She cares about everyone and want you to pass the class since she knows it's not your major. Does a lot of extra credit and prepares you well for midterm/final (only exam in the class). Great professor really

Single handedly the best, most caring professor I have ever had. She is so intelligent and so respecting of her students, it is rare to find. I am a huge fan 11/10 reccomend.

100% choose Rianna for this course! Her class is v easy and she made the lectures quite interesting. She's really good at helping her students review for exams (midterm and final), and attendance is worth extra credit, as well as many other extra credit opportunities in class. This class was very easy and entertaining and all my peers would agree!

Great professor! Would take again. Very nice, fair and caring teacher

She is amazing! Very passionate on what she teaches and very helpful to all students with our questions regarding taught topics.

Professor Deringer is a great lecturer with extremely in-depth nutrition knowledge. She always strives to use examples from her work to connect it to the course lecture and does a great job at making each lecture as unique and encapsulating as possible.

Sweetest professor I have ever had. She is willing to help you always.

Her lecture was really clear and understandable even for international student. Her support was the best in the class and even after class. Just take her course if you need to take HUL.

The professor is amazing and always respectful! I love that she gives lots of little tips/examples during lectures that help you remember the material. Also, there are lots of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

Professor, Rianna Deringer is an amazing HUN2000 Professor. If you attend her class, Participate and Pay attention to her PowerPoints. You will pass her class!! She will never bore you, she knows her information and will always give you examples for you to remember. If I had the opportunity to take her again I will.

Amazing professor, Professor Deringer actually cares about the students and always goes through lectures very clearly. I would definitely recommend any student who needs or are interested to take this class, it is very interesting and a fun class. Her homework is online and is very easy to do as well as her exams as long as you review and study.

She is really caring and loves teaching.

Super nice professor! She is caring, will answer all your questions, and is fun. The coursework is easy, lots of extra credit, and the information is super simple/common sense.

I had her in Nutrition 2201 though the time of the class was kinda iffy, bro she is like my favorite teacher of the semester. She memorized my name and everything and this teacher is so engaging and like it is really hard to fail her class. The only hw is online quizzes with multiple choice and tries. She is a good teacher -Marco Elizondo

I had her for Nutrition and she was such an amazing teacher! The first meeting was amazing and was so informative. She teaches very well and connects to her students. She is caring and super accessible. Will 100% take this class again.

I am not a study person and this class had me studying but she gave study guides and much time in advance to look through the quizzes that had some questions on the test. There was no homework and it was once a week, but studying plays a big part in this class if you struggle to collect so much information at once. I highly recommend her!

One of the best professors I have had so far. You can tell she knows what she is teaching and she is very passionate about the subject. Quizzes and tests are all multiple-choice. She goes over what will be on the exam with her Jeopardy review games and study guides. This class is an easy A and just showing up to class can get you extra credit.

Professor Deringer is the best! She really knows her stuff and is so so helpful! She gives you all the resources possible to pass with a good grade and shes always trying to help you out. Ive never come across a professor like her and if I could I would definitely take her again! Take her!!!

This class is really easy and she made it interesting and relatable with her stories. The material is not hard but you do need to study if you want a good grade in the class plus she tells you what to go over before the exam and there's a review where you can get extra credit. You will not regret taking her class.

The class is not difficult at all as long as you complete the assignments and follow along with the lectures and readings. It is not a lot of work and very manageable. The professor makes the classes and lectures interesting and often includes stories that keeps the class engaging. She provides helpful reviews before exams as well.

She's amazing! She has such a passion for teaching the material that it makes learning it more fun and exciting when she adds her stories that relate to it. She teaches everything very straightforwardly and does jeopardies with everything you need for her tests. Attendance is graded randomly 7 times for 7 points towards your grade.

I absolutely loved her class! she is amazing, and really inspired me to love my major even more. Her lectures are super entretaining and she always has extra knowledge to share that really helps you understand the material better. You have a lot of time to complete your work and the quizzes are really easy if you pay attention and read the book.

This teacher is really great. Her lectures could be long but they are engaging and she always talks about her experiences which makes it more interesting. There are quizzes after the lectures and 2 exams that are easy if you study. She provides a lot of help before the exams. Attendance is taken randomly. She is very nice I would take her again!

Professor Deringer has been an absolute god-sent of a professor. She is extremely clear in her lectures and provides real world examples about her experiences in hospitals in relation to the course and topic of the week. Though her lectures are about 2 1/2 hours she really makes it feel like only 30 minutes. Would 100% take another class with her!

I recommend Professor Deringer! Kind, intelligent, and genuinely cares about her students. Had class once a week for about 3 hours, but she gives a break in the middle. Small online quizzes for each lecture, all due the day of the exams. 2 exams: midterm & final. 11 short quizzes in total & 2 attempts each. Attendance random. Offers extra credit.

She is super understanding and not strict at all.

I would recommend professor Deringer for this course. The class is very interesting as she is very knowledgeable in this topic and often relates it back to her experiences as a dietitian. There are online quizzes for each chapter and 2 in person exams. Overall, a very good course and would recommend her.

If you are interested in a career in dietetics/nutrition... TAKE HER! She thoroughly goes through the course material, answers any and all questions you may have, is VERY easy to contact outside of lecture hours, and makes it very easy to pass the course. 1 weekly quiz, 2 jeopardy extra credit group activities, 2 exams (midterm and final).

She is extremely understanding and caring and makes the lectures even more interesting when she ties in stories about her experience that go had in hand to get a better understanding of what happens. There are plenty of extra credit opportunities and attendance is huge for your grade. Love her! Would love to take her again.

She was a very good professor. She can understand if the students have some problems, she is very nice. Her classes are interesting.

She is a very caring professor, and very intimate despite having a class of over 60 students. She definitely knows what she's talking about and sometimes uses her own patients and personal experiences as examples. Everything that she teaches is very much on the exams and everything is clear and straight forward.

Professor Derringer is so caring and always does her best to make class interesting for us by providing personal stories about her work and life. There is a quiz a week for homework and that is it. Plus a midterm and a final. She does a jeopardy game review and gives a breakdown of everything you should know for the midterm and final. Take her!!!

She's the best professor! Very understanding! The lectures are great and so relatable! She gives out too many opportunities to help students.

Overall amazing professor. The class is very lecture heavy, but everything she teaches makes sense. Attendance is kind of mandatory. I say this because she randomly takes attendance 7 times throughout the course. There are 11 quizzes, which you take on your own time, and a midterm and final, which is taken in class. 10/10 recommend, she's great!!!

Mrs. Deringer is an amazing professor. No textbook needed, provides all the lectures through powerpoints. She gives a lot of extra credit points for small things like attendance, showing up early, and attending and winning the jeopardy reviews. You definitely want her as your teacher for Nutrition.

Professor Rianna Deringer is one of the best teachers at FIU. She's very caring, very open to hear our opinions, and is always available. She truly wants the best for her students and she loves her job. As long as you study and do your work, taking this class would be a breeze. Assignments were not a lot and you get plenty of time to finish them.

Her lectures were lengthy but very informational and interesting her quizzes were simple just pay attention during class and take notes. I would reccomend taking her class it was really interesting and was one of my least stressful classes. She is also very caring and understanding.

I enjoyed this class thoroughly. Professor Deringer is very passionate about nutrition and you can see this through her lectures. The lectures are a bit long but we only meet once a week. We have quizzes for each lecture but they are online and are opened from the beginning of the semester so, you have a long time to complete them.

Prof Deringer was amazing! Lecture is only once a week so it is a little long but she makes it interesting. She gives you all the resources you need to be successful in her class/tests. She does fun jeopardy reviews and gives study guides to those who show up to review day! 10/10 recommend taking her class!

Professor Deringer was so kind and passionate. She would give us advice if going into the field and always shared stories about working in nutrition. The class was long but she made it worth it. There is quizzes for each lesson but she gives you half the semester to complete. I would recommend completing the quiz right after the lecture.

Professor Deringer was truly an incredible teacher really understanding. Since we met only 1/wk the class time was really long but it felt really quick with her! Her lectures were really strengthened when she gave us stories of her work and would tie it in with the lecture to further our understanding of what we were learning that day.

Professor Deringer is so wonderful! Even though the entire in person part of the class is lectures, she finds ways to connect with you and make us laugh or anything to make it not seem as long. You can tell she really cares about wanting you to pass and is super flexible if you talk to her. There are a lot of extra credit points for attendance too

10/10 professor. I loved attending class as it was not only informative, but also engaging and fun to attend. Attendance is graded and done randomly so make sure to attend class. There is an online quiz for every chapter she lectures on, but as long as you pay attention to her lectures they won't be hard. I 100% recommend.

She is sweet, caring, and very supportive. Highly recommend!

Prof. Deringer is good professor and is good at explaining the different topics. She is very understanding when it comes to your personal life & is available if you need help with any assignments. Her lectures are long attendance is somewhat mandatory. she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and the midterm & final are similar to the reviews

Professor Derringer is great, she's really caring and you can tell loves what she's teaching. Very lecture heavy, but she's great at making them easier to understand. Attendance is basically mandatory as she takes attendance randomly seven times throughout the semester. The class includes one midterm, one final, and 11 quizzes.

Everything you need to know for this course is provided for you. You can buy the textbook but the powerpoints were more than enough. She connects the topics to her own experience which makes the lectures much more interesting. She is very understanding and easy to apporach after class if you have any questions. overall, great professor.

Very sweet and actually teaches. Attendance is 7% of your grade and random. The powerpoint and her teachings are detailed so the textbook is not necessary. She adds in her personal experience from her career which makes class fun and engaging. The class's difficulty comes from the coursework, but she helps to make it as easy as possible.

Professor Deringer was incredibly nice and enthusiastic. Attendance is distributed at random and worth 7% of your grade. The textbook is not required because the powerpoint and her lessons are detailed. I highly recommend taking her class.

Professor Deringer is one of the sweetest and nicest professors I've had. She interacts with students, gives fun presentations, and is super understanding regarding attendance or any issues with assignments. Not a stressful class at all, I would retake her.

She's a great professor who cares about her students. The class is mostly lectures, but she knows the material well and cares about what she's teaching. I'd take this class again!

The gives great lectures throughout the entire class duration giving a break about half way. She cares for her students and makes sure we all receive the same amount of attention. Gives a clear heads up when tests are approaching, enough study material to ensure you get an A.

She teaches very well and since shes young she knows how to get through to us clearly. She explains things in detail if needed and shes open to conversations after class about the lecture. you are sure to learn and be engaged in this class. shes makes things easy to understand despite the topic being sorta hard coming into it at first. I recommend

She is very caring about her students and teaches very well. She's super knowledgable about nutrition and overall an amazing teacher for this course.

Great professor!! She goes on depth for all of the material covered in class and of you are confused she answers ALL questions. Theres a lot of material so the class is pretty face-paced, but she does it in a fun manner that makes in interesting. I wpuld recommend her to everyone if possible.

Would 100% take again, fairly easy class only thing is attendance is random so make sure you go to every class. Prof is super caring and willing to help in any way

The best professor for this class.

she is very sweet and very intelligent

Professor Deringer is a very intelligent and wonderful professor who often times uses real life scenarios to connect the course materials. Lectures were PowerPoint based and you will be graded by two exams and quizzes. I would definitely recommend taking this course for the knowledge you will obtain on nutrition and for the person teaching it. :)

Great, very understanding and helpful.

She is amazing. Take her if you want to pass! Great to talk to!

Professor Deringer was super caring and was always very engaged with her lectures. She is very lenient with her students and attendance. She has weekly quizzes to do at home, a midterm and a final. She provides study guides but make sure to attend lectures. Overall, the class was very interesting and not too demanding, there's lots of information!

I recently switched to the nutrition major, and Professor Deringer made me fall in love with my major and the whole concept behind nutrition! Although the class is long, her lectures were always engaging and fun! She's one of the most caring professors I've had and offers a lot of extra credit opportunities! Definitely recommend :)

Great professor to take in person! Very Knowledgable!

She was an amazing teacher who was very understanding and was very enthusiastic about what she taught. She gave so many extra credit opportunities and there was barely any homework. The only thing was quizzes about the lecture but you could take them twice and some were on the final and midterm word for word. 10/10 recommend!

The class was really good! The class is made up mostly of lecture, quizzes, midterm, and final. The lectures while a bit long were still very engaging. The quizzes were very simple and were open from essentially the beginning until each major exam. Overall, the professor was awesome and I would definitely take her again.

Definitely take this course with her, constantly is giving out extra points. Make sure to attend the class because she gives great examples during the lecture that help with understanding the information. Only 2 exams, and quizzes are all due the same day for each half of the class so you can space yourself out.

such an amazing professor! lectures are extremely engaging and she always ties in real world examples. quizzes and exams are simple, no trick questions. always offering extra credit and ways for students to improve their grades.

By far my favorite professor at FIU so far. She makes it a point to remember as many names as she can. She is extremely approachable. She uses examples she has experienced as a dietitian to understand the material she teaches. Great professor.

Although attendance was not mandatory, it is highly recommended. The professor is very lecture based, however she ensures that the students are engaged and participates in class as well. Take advantage of any extra credit possible because it helps a lot. Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if you need any clarification on anything.

Amazing.

If your gonna take HUN 2201, choose this professor. She takes random attendance but is super understanding if you cannot attend a class. The exams are an easy A if you go to the review. The study guide will help you pass the exam and the course was not assignment heavy. She is sweet and you will honestly learn a lot from the class.

Professor Deringer is super nice and generous. She genuinely cares about her students. The PowerPoints help a lot when learning the material. I would 100% take another class with her.

She was very understanding and open to normal life situations that can come up. Class was as described and exams were also very related to class lectures. Made lectures feel shorter despite how long they were and was nice enough to give a break during classes.

Fun lectures with real life examples.

One of my favorite professor I've had during my time here at FIU. Her class is lecture-heavy but she makes it fun and has a lot of energy. She also cares about her students a lot. If you give effort to this class and want to learn, you'll have a good grade.

Great professor, and really explains the content well. the only homework assigned are quizzes and attendance is taken randomly. she truly cares about her students

I enjoyed her class and how she taught and connected real-life examples with the lectures. Yes, attendance is mandatory only because of all the information that is needed to be explained. I would take this class again!

she is extremely kind and understanding and all you have to do is show up to class and pay attention. would definitely take her again

Professor is very chill and gives extra credit. Study and you'll be fine.

Professor Deringer did her best to make the lectures as engaging as possible. You can tell she's passionate about what she's teaching. She isn't strict, and the exams aren't hard as long as you attend lectures and engage. Overall the class was fun!

this professor is so great and caring. she is willing to work with you if u are willing to ask for help. take her class!!

Deringer is an amazing professor. The course isn't that hard if you show up to class and pay attention to the lectures. She explains everything very well and prepares you for the exams. Participation is also recomended and there are many opportunities for extra credit. I really recommend taking her class.

Just be in class, the attendance and lectures help. It is easy to get points participating. Great professor overall, if you pay attention you will pass. Everything she teaches is exactly what's tested so no surprises here. Loved her class and would take her again!

She is amazing 10/10. You will learn a lot in this class

Great professor! Would definitely take again. There are 2 exams all semester and there are reviews before each test that are very helpful!

I was very nervous taking this class, since I was doing it for my nursing prerequisites, but the professor made this class so much more enjoyable. It's hard to find a professor who is so knowledge and so caring for students and Professor Deringer is one of those professors. Course was broken down in 11 quizzes, 2 tests, and the attendance grade.

I absolutely loved taking this class. She's very passionate about the course so lectures are interesting. For our class we received no homework, only 1 quiz weekly that was due before the exam (midterm/final). We also had a lot of extra credit opportunities. I would take her again and highly recommend her!

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!! Seriously, I only gotten a C because of my own laziness and did not study. I failed the midterm and did average on the final, she gave everyone extra credit points so they we would still be able to pass the class. I am so grateful for professors like her! A key tip would be to study the study guides that she gives and easy A.

A really great professor, I only got a B due to myself not studying hard enough. But she is a great professor and the lectures are long but very informative and interesting. This professor is also very nice and caring and very understanding.

Great professor, she is very kind and understanding. There are 2 exams (midterm 30% , final 30%), 10 online quizzes (33% and can be taken at home not proctored), and attendance (7%). She sometimes gives bonus points that goes towards exams for arriving to class a few minutes early, staying for the full duration of class, and answering questions.

Amazing proffesor! Only gave online quizzes and theres 2 tests (midterm and final) Very understanding and wants students to succeed!

Rianna Deringer is extremely knowledgable on nutrition. If you take this class, you will truly learn so much. She is super sweet and helpful.

Professor Deringer makes this nutrition class engaging and rewarding. With regular quizzes, two exams, and an attendance grade, the workload is manageable. unstuck AI proved helpful for quiz prep. Overall, an informative and enjoyable course.

Very easy class, consisted of 11 quizzes (really easy) and 2 exams. She does a really good review a week before the exams and gives a lot of extra credit for simply showing up to class.lectures can be boring but she goes over all the information you need. randomly takes attendance. I would definitely take her again.

she is overall a very sweet professor and gives lots of extra credit for the simplest things such as showing up for class and arriving to class early. There are 2 test and 11 quizzes which are easy if you study and utilize the exam reviews that she gives you. overall she wants her student to succeed and she truly does try to help you pass her class

Prof. Deringer was really great. Very understanding person. Just show you want to put effort and initiative and she will always appreciate it. she is amazing and very descriptive in her lectures. Extremely patient with her students and super willing to help. take her class just a midterm and final and quizzez due before the midterm and final.

She's Great, I needed this class & passed with a higher B for my Requirement. I learned so much. She so funny & I did enjoyed her class.

It is a really easy class,if you study. No Homework just a quiz per lesson and two test. I recommend going to the review the week before the test it really helps answering the test and getting an A.

Amazing professor!! Attendance it's not mandatory however she will give extra credit sometimes for going. Weekly quizzes that are due at the end of the semester. She reviews before the exam and it's helps a lot

The professor's class was flexible with attendance (only 7 checks), and after each lecture, there was a Canvas quiz to reinforce learning. Exams were fair, with the last one being non-cumulative. Review sessions before exams were like a “Jeopardy!” game, directly covering exam material and making studying easier and more engaging.

Dr.Deringer is really sweet and an angel. She answers all of your questions and concerns that you may have about the course material. She doesn't give a lot of homework/assignments, but studying is a major key for passing this class and showing up to class for attendance.

Professor Deringer was amazing! Her lectures are interesting and she engages with you. She gives extra credit!

I joined Professor Deringer's class because of her good reviews on RMP. While she is an amazing person, her class is only once a week and her lectures do not really go in depth. Her teaching style is fast paced and if you want to pass the exams, you definitely have to put in the work. Her exam reviews are helpful but prepare to teach yourself.

Probably the best professor possible for nutrition. She's very sweet and as long as you pay attention to her lectures, you'll be set to pass the class. First half of all of the weekly online quizzes are due by the midterm day, and the other half of online quizzes are due by the end of the final day.

Professor Deringer is an amazing human being. She is so caring, she has real world experience, and she makes this 3 hour class bearable. Her class is sooo informative, especially if you're going into any health majors. It is a once a week class, so you get a lot of information. Be prepared to study!

I have taken professor Rianna twice already and would keep taking her if I could. She is so engaging and connects the topics to real life scenarios. She talks a lot from her professional experience and it is very inspiring. She really cares about her students and makes you feel valued. Make sure you are ready to study since its very test heavy!

The class overall was very interesting and she provided information that was very easy to understand. There was a quiz every week along with the Midterm and Final Exam. If you study, you will do well and you have many opportunities for extra credit. She is also very nice.

Professor Deringer makes this nutrition class engaging and rewarding. With regular quizzes, two exams, and an attendance grade, the workload is manageable. Overall, an informative and enjoyable course.

Professor Deringer was amazing! Her lectures keep you engaged and she gets right to the point. She offers extra credit and is very understanding 10 out of 10 would highly recommend .

Great teacher, lectures are always engaging. You cant slack on studying. She gives a solid amount of extra credit so attendance is important. Other than that she is super nice and fair and makes class enjoyable.

Professor Deringer is a really great teacher. Although the class was long, she found a way to keep you engaged during the lectures and answers any question that a student asks. I highly recommend her.

She's amazing! her lectures are super interesting and she's been very understanding. Attendance is taken at random, not every class. Her exams are straightforwards, don't expect super hard trick question, but there is only two so don't skip out on studying for them! Gives extra credit.

This class is great very easy and the professor is willing to help and loves her students. Studying for exams is necessary so be prepared to take good notes and prepare and attend the lectures.

Prof. Deringer is absolutely amazing! I loved this class, super easy. Her lectures are fun to listen to as she has a passion for the topics & is super knowledgeable about them. Textbook isn't necessary if you attend lectures. Gives lots of extra credit for attending & engaging. There are online weekly quizzes and a in-person midterm & final.

Such a nice professor who cares about her students. The material was not difficult to grasp due to her teaching style and she offers many opportunities for extra credit. I wish I could take this class again LOL it was so interesting and I HIGHLY recommend it along with her as the professor.

Extremely hard to fail this class. Great professor! Take her!

I am so glad I was able to take Nutrition with her! Her class was once a week with no assignments besides the quizzes and exams. Such a bright energy and fun class, and I loved her class. Would take her again!

The class is fairly easy as long as you apply yourself and review the material she discusses in lectures. Only two major exams were the midterm and final, for both she does a jeopardy style review the week before which is really helpful.

Great professor, a lot of slides on power points but she explains very well

She's a really kind professor! Frequently offers extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Make sure to review and you'll do good.

Loved this professor! She is super understanding of students not being able to attend all of her classes but does take attendance randomly. Gives lots of extra credit, even for things like random acts of kindness and honesty. Great lectures, just a very sweet professor who wants all her students to succeed. Would definitely take her again!

She very understanding and super helpful on whatever you need help in. This class is hard but having her as a professor help me get a better understanding because she goes by very topic slowly and detail by detail.

One of the best professor's I've taken at FIU ! She is so caring and actually wants students to do well. She gives more than enough extra credit to help your grade out. Pay attention to lectures and show up to the reviews. All quizzes and exams are online. 10/10 recommend !!

Professor Deringer was easily one of the best professors I've taken @ FIU. Apart from the class being pretty long, theres nothing i can complain about.

A caring professor, and she gives so many easy options for extra credit.

W professor, lectures are long but the class is engaging and you learn a lot. Go to the midterm and final review, study, and you'll pass.

She is so nice! The class may be long, but she often tries to get the class done early, but still explains all her slides in depth! She gives you so many chances for extra credit. Just make sure to study and you'll pass her two exams (midterm/final)!

DEFINETLY TAKE HER! She is so knowledgable about nutrition and is so willing to help. She actually cares and wants you to succeed in her class and her lectures are interesting though they can be very long. She gives multiple extra credit opportunities in class.

Very lecture heavy, grades attendance for half of the classes, 2 tests in person and all the quizzes are at home.

Professor Deringer is amazing teacher and sweet! We have quizzes for each chapter, but they aren't due until the midterm and final. She's an amazing lecturer and uses many real-world examples. I highly recommend this class. The midterm and final are manageable—just ensure you attend class and go to the review sessions. You'll do great!

This class was not hard at all. You do need to go to the class for attendance and to know what is going on in the PowerPoint. I would recommend taking her; she's very nice and will answer any questions you have.

While the actual course material was a little bit heavy, the professor made sure to keep the lectures digestible and as understandable as possible. Our grades consisted of weekly quizzes, one mid-term and one final. Attendance was also mandatory and random, but she provided us with questions that would be on the exams.

Professor Deringer is soooo sweet and explains things really well. There are weekly 10 question quizzes that you can take twice, and they are due in batches; at the midterm and at the final. I would absolutely take her class again. My final grade was an 89% so she reopened 2 assignments for me to do so I could end with an A.

I would absolutely take Professor Deringer again! She practices what she teaches outside of the classroom as a certified dietician, and she is passionate about her work. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but is strongly encouraged as she takes attendance a total of 7 times randomly throughout the semester and offers extra credit opportunities in person.

She was a really fun teacher, the hardest part of her class was her exams even though they honestly weren't too bad. I didn't need this class but I took it just for fun I loved it and I would definitely take it again

Super clear and caring professor. Not super work heavy course and only 1 midterm exam and the final exam.

Professor was detailed. during her lectures, pulling examples from her real world to make it more engaging. Get energy even though this class was later in the day. Loved her.

Professor D genuinely cares about her students. She will ensure you understand the topic and is avaibalew outside of class.

Exams are based on those quizzes and there is a review before each exam so you feel prepared with some extra credit opportunities as well.

Professor Deringer has a strong passion for nutrition and her genuine care for her students truly made a difference in my learning experience. She helps make complex concepts understandable, and loves what she does. She always helped when needed even outside of class, she consistently went above and beyond. Take her, class is super easy.

This was one of my favorite classes I have taken this semester. She was a great teacher who cared about her students learning rather than bombarding her students with busy work.
