Very easy, she wants you to do well. She tells you what to highlight as she's teaching, and what you highlight is exactly what is on the test! P.S.- you don't need the book!
this lady rocks. She tells you everything on the test. she has an insane ammount of energy, especially so early in the morning. overall a very nice lady and an easy A if u listen to what she says will be on the test.
Awesome prof, as long as you pay attention you can survive the tests and get a B or an A.
Wendy is so sweet. Being a nutrition major myself, she really explained things that made it fun to listen to and interesting to the class. She really cares about the class living a healthy livestyle. I think that is important. I don't think anyone should miss taking this class! It's so interesting
Some difficult content( especially scientific terms) can get alittle confusing, generally on the easy scale it would 7/10. But Wendy is great, she tells you about half of the info that will be on future tests. SHe is very upbeat and keeps the class bearable, Take her
Wendy is the best professor I have taken so far, she is very clear and has a passion for her work. Take her if you haven't already, even if it doesn't pertain to your major, its a great course!!
easy class she tells exactly what is going to be on the final and usually hands out the notes. very easy course
Easy class. Make the note cards and you will get an A
Her class was the most boring class I have ever taken. She is overly dedicated to a subject that most people couldn't care less about. She keeps you over time because she wastes time telling these awful stories. Don't take her unless you are an insomniac looking for cure.
The exams were hard but thats probably because I missed a lot of notes. So make sure you have all the notes. It should be an easy class cuz she tells you what to know for each exam. Bringing in the food and doing a media critque was the stupidest thing ever.
I LOVE THIS LADY! she tells you EXACTLY whats going to be on the tests all you have to do it pay attention and study and it's so easy! she's a great person as well her class fills up fast but she will sign you in
Take her!! She's interesting and SOOOO INCREDIBLY EASY.
i loved this class, taught me a lot, and its an easy A. she really seems like she cares
I LOVE THIS LADY! omg !! she is such a GREAT person! She is very funny. She is really easy too. you give a critique.. SO easy. you have 4 tests and she tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the test. EXACTLY so study the stuff pay attention and you[ll get an A. The class fills FAST! but have no worry she will sign you in!
This teacher is the best! She is very cleared in her material and she tells what is on your test and for once I am eating healthy and checking all my Nutrition labels. I quit McDonalds because of her. She should deserve a raise!
love her class. there is no other prof like her on campus. very clear on what is going to be on the exams.
I love this class. She is great. Very clear and her class is soo much fun. It is my favorite class this semester. She makes it very easy to do good. Just go to classes.
Very easy A. She is really dedicated to what she does and believes in everything she teaches. She almost got into an argument with this idiot in my class but he thinks that he is Mr. Know-it-all but that's another story. Make flash cards for everything she tells you and you pass. (Eat before going to this class, it made me hungry.)
very good teacher, very enthusiastic about nutrition. she is a registered dietician so she knows her stuff.... very good class easy A...
take this class if you want an easy A. she is easy and her class is very interesting.
She gives you every question for each test, even the final!
Awesome teacher! I learned alot of nutritional facts and I enjoyed her class!
a lot harder than you would think but very informative. if you study youll pass plus lots of extra credit. plus good teacher for eye candy
You'll learn a lot of helpful facts in this class. She'll tell you what's definately on each exam. Very sweet lady, you'll enjoy her personality and the stories she tells.
I think she was a really fun teacher. She made me every interested in the nutrition field therefore my major is nutrition. She lets you know what's on each exam. total **** =]
The most amazing Teacher ever! She is VERY easy and extremly Bright! All you have to do is Listen and Study your index cards! If you fail her class your a dumb ass.
Mrs. Richman is great! She is an absolutely wonderful professor who KNOWS what she is talking about. DO NOT BUY THE TEXT!
I love, love, love HER! She tells you exactly whats on the test as she's teaching. The tests are really easy, no tricks to them. And, you learn a lot about nutrition. She really knows what she's talking about and keeps the class interesting. Please DONT BUT THE BOOK
i had her for a first year siminar but she gives way too much for a first year siminar class. she makes you do a presentation and a final project dont take her for her first year siminar class.
FUN CLASS BUT HARD
best teacher i have ever had at abington, easy A, tells u whats exactly on the test, study the material and you will do fine, i will take any class that she teaches, worth your time and money, you will learn a lot, and she knows a lot about the subject since she is a dietitian herself
the best teacher you can ask for, she is awsome, and loves what she does. an easy A she tells you exactly whats on the test. love her
This class is much harder then what other people or writing, at the beginning of the class she told us that she was going to tell us whats going to be on the test and i guess she did by telling us to put stars on whats important but guess what everything had a stars, test are hard, if i could do it over i would have taken 2 Gym classes instead.
she's awesome! crazyyy and i love her. she loves what she does. shes a nutrition freak. no tests or anything. it's a small class so you pretty much have to go. she does take attendence. we had one quiz on food labels. she really pushes you to workout and eat well.
I LOVE HER. She is the best teacher for nutrition. If you want an interesting class, take her. She is awesome. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK.
you come to class and a person shows off a current event that has to do with a health topic. then you read the book and talk about it. ..that's basically it. you study for maybe 30 minutes or daily for the tests and you'll get ur easy A.
Great note giving method, very clear and easy to follow. She tells you EXACTLY what will be on the tests. She is definitely an expert in nutrition and practices what she preaches so to speak. She can be overly passionate about the subject at times. Oh, and she is easy on the eyes. :-P
Beautiful soul. Like a loving mother, open to all who come to her. Positive, helpful, fun course material. Lots of really interesting and enjoyable topics and videos. Really couldn't ask for a better teacher or person.
the best prof ever~ u'll be sorry if u don't take her.
great lady...knows what shes talking about..she has a sort of motherly aspect to her..cant complain with a teacher that points out everything on the tests and final...sidenote, the textbook is ridiculously priced and looks like the Bible..havent used it yet though
EASY CLASS. GREAT TEACHER. PROJECTS EASY. TESTS EASY. EASY B+
very good teacher, tells you exactly what will be on the test, study what she tells you will be on it and you will do fine and she drops the lowest test
She knows and loves what she is talking about in class. The class is a little boring at times but not difficult. I got a B+ barely showing up and studying 1 hour before the tests. Take the class
Easy A. A lot of good info. Would be better if attendance wasn't mandatory.
Best teacher I have ever had. The class is full of great facts, especially if you're interested in a healthy lifestyle. I have started practicing a lot of the things she taught me about in terms of eating and exercising. Tells you exactly what's on test. She really loves what she does which makes going to class something to look forward to.
She is the best teacher I have had so far. The class is definitely a must if your GPA needs a boost. She is beautiful and very understandable. Do take her.
She is a great teacher and genuinely interested in nutrition.
She was one of the best professor I've had in Penn State Abington. Always willing to help and always very nice. You can always ask her for advices about eating and living a healthy life style. Her class is easy if you study her notes. They're interesting and can really benefit you in life.
Best Teacher hands down. I loved this class, and this teacher. She knows what she's talking about, and is extremely helpful explains everything clearly. Take notes, come to class, and study the outlines and you will get an A like I did. DONT buy the book the outlines are right from it. For sure take this class!!!
Guys She's really not as easy as people say she is. It's not an easy A elective..do have to memorize the ridiculous packets she hands out.So if you have other main classes to worry about then take a gym class instead. She does provide you with a lot of useful information. Will b able to pull of an B if you don't work hard enough! :)
really easy, study the handouts and your note then you'll get good grades. exams are base on the handouts and notes
Great great teacher. extremely helpful. clearly explains the material.telss stories here and there very interesting ones at that. If your interested in health and an easy A.
EASY A!!, come to class sit down and just listen, one quiz one group presentation, 4-5 little journals omg, how much easier can it get, 40% of class is spent watching videos, and DONT BUY THE BOOK waste of money,
Pretty cool teacher. Tells you exactly what's on the exams, which is awesome, but few hard questions. This was a hybrid class, so you might need the book or someone else's old notes to fill in half of the notes. Weekly assignments are easy. She tells funny stories about food and health. If you go to class and listen to her, you'll be fine.
Wendy is such a sweetheart, I loved this class.
Relatively easy class if you study the handouts as that is all the tests are about. She tells you want to know in advance. Diet project helps bring up your grade, along with a one-minute presentation on an article about nutrition of your choosing. The only thing that bothers me about her is that she seems annoyed when people ask questions
GREAT teacher. She practically gives you the answers to the exam on her outlines. She gives out a lot of extra credit on programs or projects. Don't bother buying the textbook. I barely touched it and I'm passing with A's
Informative class. 3 exams, one gets dropped but not the final. Diet project & media critique boost your grade. Study all underline notes b/c it helps. Friendly teacher as well.
Professor Richman really makes nutrition interesting, and you can tell she practices what she preaches. If you do reading and assignments you'll be fine, she basically gives you everything you need to know for the exam in her handouts.
Professor Richman is such a sweetheart, she will help you if you dont understand something. Her tests are self-explanatory and fairly easy. She does give a nice amount of material to study, so make sure you highlight everything she tells you to do, follow her directions, and do notecards and you should pass with an A or B! I would take again.
Wendy is the best! Have her for nutrition and kines health and wellness. Just love her. She breaks everything down so it's understandable and is a fair grader. She tells you exactly what to study for in the notes so you don't have to worry about reviewing the whole thing. Exams are so easy if you study. Easy A. Kines too!
Great professor! Super easy and a must take. We get a one paragraph journal every few weeks, one 1 pg paper at the beginning of the semester, one quiz, no final, rarely any hw, one group project and one paper for your final the whole semester. She's just a little big on attendance which is 10% of your grade. Must take for an Easy A
She is hands down the best professor on this campus. She's inspirational, funny and cares about her students! 3 exams and one final but it is unbelievably easy because she tells you what to star in your notes. Easy A+
She is by far the best professor ever. She tells you straight up what will be on the exams and she is funny. She gives you the opportunity to be opinionated as well. I missed a few classes and came back just fine. She is awesome i would take her class every semester if I had to choose.
Do not be worried about taking her. If you're worried about passing the class, don't. She's clear cut about what's going to be on the tests. If you're worried it'll be boring, don't. Her lectures are ridiculously interesting. If every teacher was like her, I may have even switched my major to nutrition! Lectures are not a drag and you learn A LOT.
Professor Richman knows her stuff. She makes life easy for students by telling us what to "star" aka study for the exam. If you know the "starred" stuff, you'll get an A. She is passionate, quirky and there for students should you have questions. She inspired me to live a healthier lifestyle too! Textbook not used.
I like her.
Best professor I have EVER had! She is super nice and tells you how to study and what to study specifically. Very intersecting lectures and made me want to major in nutrition. Awesome teacher! Wish she taught more classes
Tells you exactly what will be on the test. Thoroughly explains material. Tests aren't hard at all. Gives helpful tips.
She tells you to "star" the important information that is literally word-for-word the tests. You need to show up to class or at least get the notes and review them, but the tests are straightforward. She is an awesome teacher who has a lot of knowledge and experience.
best professor at Abington. such an easy A, just study all of the "starred" information she tells you and you will get an A. some of the material on the tests can be tricky but if you studied and went to class you will do fine. Make sure you make notecards they really help.
Wendy is awesome! I did get annoyed some days when the class just felt like an AA meeting, or somewhere where we all talked about our feelings and that stuff. She is highly educated and really cares about her students. You need to go to class in order to pass but you won't want to skip much.
NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS. Richmond is probably the absolute worst professor I have ever had. Her class was terrible her tests were impossible and I hated every minute of it.
Class is pretty easy; she tells you exactly what's going to be on the tests. Just make notecards and memorize them all. The only thing that annoys me is she's nice, but tends to act like everyone's dumb. She also doesn't give back your old tests for you to look over and study from, which doesn't make sense to me. Still an easy class, though.
She is a great teacher. In fact, one of the best professor I've come across. Also, her class is very easy, and inspirational.
Very good nutrition class. She literally tells you what's on the test, so you shouldn't miss class because she tells what to "star". There are 5 campus events we had to attend that were equivalent to an exam. Overall, it's a pretty easy class to take and the teacher is the best.
She's very picky with the diet project but it's an easy A if you follow most directions. Her lectures are heavy and the info is pretty difficult but she tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. MAKE NOTECARDS. Work hard and you'll do fine.
Found this class to be very insightful and actually learned relevant information at the end. She tells you what is going to be on the test as "starred" material. There's a lot of information to digest but doable. Make sure to attend every class as notes and "starred" material is not accessible online. Study hard and you'll do well.
There is one project (diet project), four exams (three chapter exams + final exam), and a participation grade (present an article). Little to grade off of so you should do well on exams. Go to class because the notes are not online, but she does not check for attendance. Exams are easy if you study the notes that she tells you to star.
She drops your worst exam grade!
Best and easiest class I have taken so far. Gives you the info you need to study for each test. Loved her
One of the best professors by far. Super caring and hilarious! Lets us know what to star in our notes which will be on the upcoming exam. Attendance is not mandatory but definitely come to class for her lectures / note taking. Tests are multiple so study and get an easy A!
Professor Richman is very passionate and knowledgable about nutrition and it shows through her class. She is very nice, gives almost no HW, tests are all multiple choice (study what she tells you to star from the notes, which she gives you a prinatable outline for). Material can get a little confusing, but nothing to bad. Drops lowest test grade.
Take Professor Richman for Nutr251! She's sooo easy. Best class to take to get your GHA credit!! Just show up to class, pay attention, star what she tells you, and then you'll be golden for the semester!
So easy just truly know the material inside and out and you will pass with flying colors. She gives you all info on the test
Very enthusiastic about the subject of nutrition that even made a couple people considering major into it because of her. Lectures were very interesting with a lot of details very similar to a biology class. Test were multiple choice and at time tricky.
You can clearly tell that Wendy Richman knows her stuff and its obvious in the lectures. Attendance is not required but going will help because you will miss all of the starred material she gives you. Kinda rude and treats you like you are dumb when you ask her to clarify a question but all in all a decent professor.
If youre thinking about taking this for your 3 H&W GenEd credits, take a weightlifting class or a yoga class instead. I sat in the front of the class, payed attention, took all the notes, and studied for days before one of the exams and still got a 50 on it. I ultimately had to drop it. Dont make the same mistake I did.
AMAZING!! I LOVE her! She's is so caring towards her students, she honestly wants everyone to live a long, healthy life and she tries so hard to instill good habits and give you all the info you need to eat right. I have decided to minor in nutrition bc of her class. Go to class tho, she lets you know what like 70% of the test will be in class.
Great professor; she makes you star material that will be on the exams/final. It's a lot of information though. She wants students to be healthy and is a little obsessive about it, but she's nice and is actually willing to help you outside of class. Might be a bit rude when you ask a "dumb" question.
She's a good professor. She teach very well. Just an important note: DON'T BRING ANY FOOD IN CLASS!!! She'll just start criticizing you for your food choice. And start telling you how bad the food is. However, overall, she's good a teacher.
I won't say the professor is that difficult, but get ready for some real TESTS!! AND THE FINAL!!!!!! You will see when you take the class. So many notes and you have to go over all the stuff for the tests., If you need this class for credit then go ahead but make sure you attend every class, or you will have to get the notes from someone else, GL
I learned so much in her class about nutrition. She teaches very well and clear. You have to take a lot of notes and your camera has to be on all the time. Sometimes she gives out engagement questions at the end of class to see if you were paying attention. The tests aren't that hard if you study for them.
Professor Richman was one of the best professors I have ever had. She is very straight forward with her material and has a talent for connecting everything she teaches to make sure you are not just memorizing but actually learning! She drops your lowest test grade which was cool. She did mention a textbook but I didn't use it and still got an A.
Professor Richman is awesome! I got a C because I had a lazy semester and didn't work for it. If you show up and follow her directions, it could be an easy A. She really cares for the wellness of her students and wants everyone to learn about healthy habits! 10/10 would take her again!
I feel that this class is wayyy to difficult. I took alll notes possible! I studied and I still did not do well. I didn't know what else to do but drop the class.
Good person, awful professor. You're only graded on a project and three tests, no real classwork or homework. She also does not utilize the textbook in class but it helps for studying. I went to every class I could, took all the notes I could and still struggled on the tests. I squeaked by with an 80%. GL if this is required for your major too!
Wendy is a good person, but bad professor She basically just talks at you for almost 2 hours. There's a textbook for the class but it's never used. The only reason I passed the class is because of the textbook. You're graded on 4/5 tests and a project. The exams have nothing to do with the lecture whatsoever so just be prepared to use the textbook.
Tests are very hard, not because of their difficulty, but because of the amount of time you are given. You get 1 minute per question which may have multiple parts and calculations. She can be very rude and respond in disrespectful ways and overall is a horrible course.
A very reasonable course. There is hardly ever any work outside of class, just a few projects and canvas assignments here and there. She is very specific about how she grades things but as long as you fill out the notes she provides each class you will be ok. The tests only allow one minute per question but she provides a study guide which helps.
She's a great and funny professor. Her tests are very difficult though. You take notes for every class but tests always seem 10x harder than what you're learning about.
Very nice, understanding of late work and a good lively person while lecturing.
Lectures are just talk, and she gives an outline where you follow along and fill in the blanks that she provides the info for. Super easy to follow along, not too boring. One project that can be done easily about creating a healthy, balanced meal. Tests are Zoom proctored with a time limit, just based on the notes, easy to study for.
It is refreshing having a professor that is so passionate about what they are teaching. She have 3 exams a project and a final. It's her answers that she spoon feeds in class. Everything is given to you. The project is easy and for half the lectures she provides you notes that you fill in the blank. Truly learned things I will use in the future.
