Rushes through information. Cuts students off when they are unclear about something or have a good question. She will always retort, "Read your book!". Yet often, the book isn't able to clarify the information that's being asked about. Instead, students are left 'in the dark'. Without outside help/tutoring it'll be a struggle to understand her.

Nutrition to me is a really easy class, but Mrs. Marcus teaches on a clinical level and the class is an intro to nutrition. She follows the book somewhat, but basically your on your own. If attendence wouldn't be an issue....I would just say not attend lecture and study on your own. I would not go to her for help outside of class.

Took her own line class; it's horrible. DO NOT take nutrition online. Testing material is long (2hours) and many questions are not covered in the book or in additional study materials. She's gone out of her way to make this course extremely difficult. Will never take her again -from word of mouth I would NOT recommend any of the nutrition teachers

DO NOT take this professor. She's the worst. Her tests are completely different than material covered in class and in the book. She doesn't give study guides. And when you try to ask her a question about ANYTHING, she acts like it's inconveniencing her. She never gives you the answer either. She makes the class alot harder than what it has to be.

Was so hard.I used every bit of info she gave us and still could not pass two of her test. She went out of the way to make this class as hard as she possible could....Another reason I drop her class was...if you make less than a 70 on final that would be your final grade..would not average in with other grades unless it was higher than 70..

If you want to pass this class or even get a decent grade I suggest that you do NOT take her. She is terrible. I think her goal is to see how many people will either drop the class or fail it. She is not helpful and doesn't want to see you succeed.

I am a very smart student and could not pass this class. She goes on and on about material that is not one the test. My major is Nutrtion and will have to take this class again because of how difficult she made it. DO NOT HAVE MARCUS!!

AVOID T. MARCUS. IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO THROUGH YOUR TEXT BOOK AND READ THE POWER POINTS AND THE ABILITY TO DRAW LIKE A 4 YEAR OLD AND UNDERSTAND IT, YOU HAVE JUST TAUGHT YOURSELF BIOLOGY THE WAY T. MARCUS DOES...

One of the worst teachers ive had. I'd recommend taking the other nutrition teacher on campus.

OMG!!!! DO NOT TAKE MARCUS CLASS!!!!! She dont care about her students, she just read off the powerpoints and ramble about nothing the whole class. If you want an F take her if not take it online I retook it online sooo much better im a smart student passed with a B from Amy. G class online shes a great teacher AMY!! so dont take Marcus CLASS!!!!

DO NOT TAKE MARCUS. I AM CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN MARCUS' CLASS. I ATTEND EVERY CLASS AND TAKE GOOD NOTES. I ATTEND TUTORING THREE TIMES A WEEK. I READ THE CHAPTERS 2 TO 3 TIMES EACH. AND MY TEST GRADES ARE ALL FAILING. SHE IS HORRIBLE AT HELPING HER STUDENTS TOO. I ASKED HER FOR HELP AND SHE JUST YELLED AT ME ABOUT WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG. I HATE HER.

I study my tail off for her tests and attend every lecture - Im not passing. I have gone to her for private tutoring - and she tells me what I am doing wrong and is very rude! Makes you buy an access code and you only use it one time. You dont use the book in class only outside of class but she claims most of the book is wrong. Worst teacher award.

Terri Marcus is the worst teacher I've ever had. I currently have an A average in all the classes I've taken at Chatt State except for hers. Not sure where her test questions come but they don't come from the book or her lectures. She is NOT helpful and is very rude. She is the worst teacher at Chatt State. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Prides herself that this is a "weeding" class for the nursing program. Could care less about her students. If you have to take BIOL 1430, don't take her or the online class (she's in charge of it, too).

She starts class early and ends late. She's unhelpful & rude to students who ask for clarification. She disagrees w the book and doesn't know how to spell, or use proper terminology. Her notes are sloppy and test info unclear. I chose her bc her class fit into my schedule and it was a huge mistake, I would say over half the class dropped.

Three words. TER. RI. BLE. I took her online class. I am a straight A student. I study and work hard to understand my courses. No matter how hard I try I cannot do well in her class. When I emailed her for help she basically copy and pasted the class syllabus. DONOT TAKE HER CLASS!

This professor is the worst I have taken. I struggled with her first test and went to her for help instead she showed me the counseling office. She does not encourage you to strive. There were only 410 points to earn and 400 were from the 4 test she gives. I will never take her again and never suggest her to anyone who would like to pass.

Was very hard to understand professor teaching styles could not relate

All she do is talk talk talk talk!!! she doesn't encourage no one to do better, only offers 10 extra credit points. then 4 tests which is all together 400 points. things thats on the test, she doesn't talk about.

The material isn't difficult, just a very poor instructor.

I am taking this as an online course and it is the hardest class I have ever had. What content will be on the quizzes and case studies is not clear. I have no idea what I should be focusing on at all. I do not know what to use to answer calculations. The point system is terrifying; you cannot miss a question on a case study or quiz without failing

The powerpoints and textbook contradict one another at times. The quizzes are worded in a way that is unclear and tricky. When a question is missed, references to materials are given, but are inaccurate so you must find the answer on your own. If you ask a question, you will simply be referred back to the materials instead of given an answer.

WOW. She honestly was the worst teacher I've ever had. She made no sense and said some contradictory things. Her lectures and tests did not go together, she lectured straight off the powerpoints- pretty much read off of it and was super boring. Students left her class every day and didn't stay for the whole class bc she was just so bad. Don't take!

This class content was not hard but you better be prepared to teach yourself. She contradicts the textbook sometimes with her powerpoints that she reads straight off of every day. I wouldn't even bother going to class.

Possibly the most disengaged, dismissive, "educator" I've ever met.

This was one of the hardest classes Ive taken. I have maintained an A in all of my classes up to this class and failed this course. She will not help you. If you ask her a question she just refers you make to the material provided that gives no help. The missed questions for your quizzes can not be found. WORST TEACHER.

Toughest class I have ever had. The lecture is boring, because she just reads off the powerpoint slides. Going to her office isn't that helpful. Don't take!

Do not do online classes

go hard when you take her class or you'll be wasting your money. lectures are dragging to, found it easier to study and learn on my own or with classmates but you also cant just skip class

Class is way harder than it should be. I have had friends take it at a university and it not be near as hard as she makes it. Your midterm and final are both 40% of your grade which is a total of 80%. Everything else in the class barely counts. I am warning you

Bc Covid, half of the sem. was in class and the other was online. In class, lectures went by painfully slow since she only reads verbatim from the PowerPoints. If you asked a question you were met with a snarky rude comment like we will get to that or You should read your textbook. Online her tests were way too hard even w/ open book & studying

This is my first time taking this class and I will admit I underestimated it, HOWEVER I know people that failed the class, I know people that are re taking it,and what is very sad is even my advisor that took the class in 2006 had to withdraw the class. My financial aid person said he knew what teacher I was talking about and barley passed yrs ago

She is the absolute worst instructor. Does not explain anything and doesn't care about how her students are doing in the class. Most students end up dropping and the usual class size at the end of the semester is anywhere from 3-9. The questions on the exam come from out of the blue. If you need nutrition take TNEC class instead.

The worst teacher I have ever had. If you ask her for help she just tells you to reread the chapter. Information from the test can not be found in the textbook nor in the PowerPoint. Each week she gives a quiz that is five questions, if you miss one question you fail. Do not recommend taking her classes.

Be prepared to dedicate all your study time to this one class. It is a very intense class and if you have questions and dare email her she will respond with "check your textbook." She is not very good at giving assistance when it is requested. Good luck honestly, you will be teaching yourself. I will say- she does give 2 bonus points!

awful- good luck.

currently failing & gives 30 min for 20 questions so i failed. she doesn’t teach anything considering being online & just gives a lot of papers to read. no learning. doesn’t let you retake anything. she says use the textbook and everything for 5 questions for you not to find it. doesn’t teach

Do not take her class. She is the worst professor I have ever taken. She reads the power points word for word. She has a Q&A session but when you ask questions she will read the PowerPoint word for word. She does not help her students or care about their success in her class.

She was difficult and expected you to teach yourself, I tried flashcards, notes, and everything nothing helped. Everything on the test was not in notes. The book was free range and never gave help for midterm or final. I do not recommend it if you can't teach yourself, is not text savvy, and hard to reach. She says "do better." I tried hard but no.
