She was a wonderful instructor. If there were more classes to be taken by her - I would.

She is awesome!~ At first you think she is crazy and hard as heck, but then you have to get to know her she is awesome. Allows extra credit and debates onm when homework is due... I was very happy with staphanie but when sharon came to take over here class it ended up being a joy!!!!

"You only get out of it what you put into it." I would take a class with her any time again. She is very engaging, and she uses real life examples to make the subject of nutrition interesting. We had lively discussions in the class. Be prepared, engaged, and show up. What better reward is there for a student to get a well-earned A.

Way too hard, too much reading, but brilliant teacher

Although she used the textbook she brought in daily examples which were very helpful. She was very motivating. I was excited to take Medical Nutrition under her after we were done. She cares about the students and about the subject.

I loved her a lot!!! I learned a ton, and would take more classes from her!! She inspires you to eat healthy!!

great class.. i learned a lot. good lectures. had a great time recommend it to everyone who is interested in human nutrition..

Wonderful teacher who motivates learning and healthy eating habits. Even if the material is a little dry her teaching style keeps you interested. She wants her students to do well and is willing to help. Go to class, participate and study and you will do well.

Wonderful teacher, uses the book a lot, a lot of reading required but she makes the class interesting and fun. I highly recommend taking her classes.

Fun Teacher! Seemed a little intimdating at first,but that was obviously her teaching strategy to keep you in line!!!! I was educated extremely well-so much so that I brought the information I learned in class home. I'm aware of what I eat and find myself making better choices. I would highly recommend taking her class.

Sharon is an awesome teacher. She does everything she can to get her students as interested in nutrition as she is. There is a lot of material to learn, and she is very good at explaining and clarifying. She wants all of her students to succeed and makes the class period fun and informative. Would definately recommend her!

Really fun in class. Lots of information given in class. Expects the students to work and understands value of information given. Be ready to work but expect the knowledge to stick. You will enjoy this class but be ready to put some elbow grease into the class. I really enjoyed it.

This was a great class and I highly recommend this professor. She did a great job of explaining aspects of nutrition within a real world context. She is also very approachable and more than happy to clarify concepts. Because of this, I was able to retain and apply much of what I learned to my current lifestyle.

One of my favorite teachers. Extremely helpful and easy to work with. Class was fun to be in and learned so much. She made sure you knew the material and taught effectively.

Dr.Himmelstein was the best teacher I have had in my entire college career. Very lovely women that has alot to offer to her students.She inspired me to pursue a career that promotes good health and well being. She inspired alot of my interest in the feild of nutrition and I am greatful to have had her. Take her classes!

Sharons class is not only a pre req for other courses, it's really a pre req for a healthy life. This class has taught me so much about the choices I make and how to make better ones. I've gained better eating habits because of this class. If you have to take it, take her. There is a lot of reading of the textbook, but it's faily interesting.

Sharon really cares about health. Tests can be tough, but any class test can be hard. No reason not to pass unless you don't care. If I had to take other nutrition class I would take her for sure.DO THE DIET PROJECT huge points for that. Really blunt so if you cant handle that just relax she's a good instructor and smart

Loved her!! She is a very knowledgeable and fun teacher! I wish I could have her as a teacher again!

Sharon is such a wonderful teacher! She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and makes it fun and easy. She is very approachable and is always willing to answer questions. She is extremely nice and is very funny as well. She will actually go through the test after she writes it to help you know exactly what to study. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! LOVE HER!

This professor is fair and clear about her expectations. She assigns a lot of reading, but if you keep up, you'll learn and probably pass this class. I took this class one night a week, so perhaps the reading is lighter if taken twice a week. Either way, I think she is a great professor.

Good teacher,always there for everybody in class,fully knowledgeable in what she teaches in class.I would recommend her to future students.

Demanding curriculum, but interesting and educational

Expectations are very high. Be prepared to attend class and work hard, but it's worth it.

A great teacher. Her class is extremely hard though so be prepared to learn. She will help you with anything you need help with. Overall a great teacher who know's what she is doing.

One of the best teachers by far who works with students..

One of the best teachers I have ever had

This professor is a tough but fair teacher.

This professor teaches well but could be difficult

Fantastic. I love this class. That is all.

Alot of work in class. Overall a very interesting and informative class. Sharon was very helpful and always very interesting. The class was four hours once a week and it never felt like it would drag on. Overall a great class and professor.

The instructor is very knowledgable and passionate about the subject. She is very helpful in the subject. She does make you work and stresses that in the beginning but you do learn a lot even if you think you didn't. Attendance is a must! She has a great sense of humor so it makes the topic not so dry. Thanks!!!

I loved this class! Sharon was, and is wonderful! Lots of information, and loads of sharing. Practical knowledge and application strongpoints. Nice to be able to use what you have learned in everyday life. Sharon is a teacher you want to keep as a friend!

There is a work load, but Mrs.Himmelstein is firm, fare, and compastionate.

very good, helps out alot, very understanding on how we can do the quizes as well as preping us for upcomming assingments. very clear on what is to be done and If i did have to take this class again or an of her other classes I would!!! A must class to take!!!

Quizzes every week forces you to read the text. Learn most from assignments and lectures. Highly recommended yet be prepared to work.

Fun and relaxed class. She is easy to talk to and very helpful if you have any questions. She is tough on assignments because she wants us to do our best and learm. I learned a lot from this class. I liked it!

Dr. Himmelstein is an extremely helpful professor with a deep understanding of her subject. I have found her to be open and approachable to all of her students. Make no mistake, you will study in her class, but what you learn about the subject of human nutrition will last a lifetime.

Good teacher, do not take a one a day week class. Its hard on you to do so. but other then that liked the class.

Dr. Himmelstein is an outstanding professor. She helps you understand the materials and is extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend her class to anyone. I unfortunately had to drop the class due to work conflicts, but she attempted to work with me as much as possible. SHE IS GREAT!

She is a great teacher, comes on a little strong in the beginning but don't let that fool you. You will use the book, there will be a quiz every class on the chapter you just read but it keeps active in class and not falling behind. Wiley+ online was not needed. Only a few major assignments, a research paper/presentation. Would take another class

she is a nice teacher, and very knowledgeable. I learned alot.

She's very meticulous and likes to use her own personal experiences to help you understand certain subjects. The textbook is used A LOT! Make sure to read it. Otherwise she's a really nice professor and you should have some fun in the class.

She is a great professor and knows a lot about nutrition. It is a fun and easy going class, minus weekly quizes... You are expected to read the entire book, but you learn so much about nutrition. Great class!

Great job

Mrs. Himmelstein is a great teacher! Excellent experience! She's thorough, motivated, opinionated & highly knowledgeable in all things nutrition. Her class has motivated me to entirely change my eating habits. You are required to read the ENTIRE book, but it is very interesting. If you dont already care about nutrition, you will after this class!

This class is a good class although there are a lot of assignments including a diet project, research paper, power point presentation and the final where students have to make a recipe

great

Take very good notes every week to help you with the class she is very hard with quizzes but as long as you take note you are okay!

Very straightforward and easy to follow. Do the work and you will surly pass.

PURELY EPIC!

Sharon was an excellent teacher! Just be prepared to do the work, and this class will be great! Never boring.

This Professor is Great! Very interested in subject matter. Follows syllabus. Has a positive attitude.

Wicked mean. Made me present a PowerPoint.

Great!

Must take notes and study every chapter if you expect to get a good grade

She's so sweet althogh if you want to be on her good side you really want to show that you care by showing up to class on time and turning in your work on time and reading the book on your own time.

Sharon really made us read the entire book and she really made us work on our research paper.

Very good teacher! Interacted with students in a positive manner and made the class a fun experience!

attend class, read entire textbook, and write research paper

Fun class! There wasn't a dull moment in her class. I had a late start class so I only had her every Friday, but every Friday we had a test. So there's a test on every chapter. WE COVER THE WHOLE BOOK. This semester (spring 14) we had 14 chapters. We had a few projects to do but overall a fun class.

Sharon was a great teacher. She made each class interesting.

Attend class, do work, get A. Na'mean?

I loved her I thought she was awesome. Always brings snacks

Very good class, and a good professor teaching it. Warning this is NOT a "buy your book and don't use it" class.

She is very knowledgeable and has more scientific integrity as a teacher than I've seen in a long, long time.

required to read whole book.

Class discussion was fun and usually pretty free form. I think it would've been nice to have a bit more structured assignments. Regardless this class was fun and Sharon knows nutrition.

Sharon is very knowledgeable of her subject and engaging. The lack of structure became frustrating, especially with the amount of reading that is never discussed in class. Otherwise straight-forward- she sticks to the syllabus.

Entertaining. Classes go over relevent material, but do not specifically prepare you for tests.

Sharon is very serious about Nutrition, so if your not, i would not suggest this class.

You really DO have to read the entire book and MUST attend class. You also have to write a research paper and do a presentation on it. She spells everything out and if you do what you are supposed to when you are supposed to do it everything will be fine.

The quiz's are pretty tough and do not cover the parts of the chapter that you would expect.

Be prepared to read the entire book, a chapter at a time, with quizzes each week. There are three big projects spread out over the semester, that you do little chunks at a time. She really tries to make sure that the class is conducive for learning and succeeding.

One of the few classes where you read the entire textbook and quizzed on every chapter plus other projects.

You are expected to have read the chapter before you get to class. You are given a quiz when you get there (which you can use a full page of notes on). She does this so we can discuss related topics and make the class more interesting. If you can't ONE little chapter per week, don't take this class. If you can read, you'll do great.

Classes are long!

She is very clear as to her expectations on the 1st day and is consistent throughout the semester. We read a lot and are expected to do so. Enjoyed this class.

This class is just how the name describes it; personal and practical. Reading the textbook is required each week, and a research paper is also required.

Devoted teacher, with a lot of personality. You read through the whole book throughout the course, but the work is not very hard.

I attended all classes, read the ENTIRE textbook, took quizzes on each chapter, and wrote a research paper in this course. I suggest future students to be prepared to do the same.

She was very knowledgeable about her field of expertise.

A lot of work but worth it. I learned a lot.

A lot of work

You need to read the book carefully before class or you wont get a good grade

Sharon is the most amazing teacher! I'm so happy to have taken her class, she gives extra credit opportunities, knows her stuff, and inspires students to want to learn more about this subject. Come to all the classes though otherwise it will be hard to get a good grade since there is always either an assignment or a quiz which are not difficult.

Sharon was an awesome nutrition teacher. She's very active and fun to have. I found her class a little tough because I didn't read. Make sure you read every chapter. There are quizzes every week. That was the only thing I had trouble with. Overall I would take this class again!

Good class

Knows her stuff. Fun class.

Sharon is the most amazing teacher ever :D She is the teacher that would fight for you!! that's how much her student are important to her. she is always there after if you have any questions and makes her lectures fun. During class we would play kahoot, a game we would along with every chapter. I loved her class a lot and would highly recommend her

We are allowed to contact her for help on anything and she reply's almost immediately with excellent help. We we're taking tests that were worded poorly and failing students so I informed her of the problem and she wiped all tests from the class for the whole semester. She got me to work on getting my family to eat healthier through her teachings.

Mrs. Himmelstein is so caring and awesome to her students, truly cares about her students, her assignments were easy and fun! she is easy to work with and far more understanding that most teachers I know. she is willing to make adjustments to her course assignments to ensure that all students are successful. highly recommend her.

The best Nutrition Prof ever! Sharon is amazing! Eager to share her knowledge and passion for Nutrition. Classes are never boring and very informative. HW and Exams are online using Mindtap. Fun game quizzes are given in random classes that help keep you interested and motivates you to learn if you're as competitive as I am :) Register with Sharon!

Gives very good lectures, keeps you interested on the topics. I love the games played in class, helped me with the chapters that were being covered that day. I loved the semster I had with her, I couldn't see myself missing any of her classes. Grade turnover rate is awesome. She's on top of grading. Excellent instructor!

I would definitely recommend this professor. She is very respected, cares about her students, helps out when it comes to homework and pushing it back if by any chance need more time, very inspirational. She really wants her students to pass and she will do anything in her power to let that happen.
