Nutrition....Spring 2008

[amillender]

Hey everyone! I'm starting this class this semester online and I am very nervous...this will be my first online class! Wanted to make a thread where all of us braving this class this semester can help eachother out, post questions etc. Good luck to you all!

Can we get this sticky?

Hi All,

I am looking to take Nutrition online this spring/summer and wondering where you all are taking your class. How do you know if the nutrition class is rigorous enough to satisfy a pre-nursing prerequisite?

Thanks!

just wondering how Nutrition is working out for you guys! Thinking of taking it in the fall -- just needed some opinions.

Its a lot of information but nothing close to A&P or Micro! I finished my 8-week course a few weeks ago and pulled an A.

My online teacher has it out for me. She is failing me because I don't participate, everything elese I do perfect on, 2 sets of questions and a weekly journal. The participation is at her descretion and she feels the things I have to say aren't things to spawn conversation. I post in at least 4 different topics a day and there is always a few people discussing what I have posted. I log on post at least 3 times a day and my participation is no different than any one elses. She is giving me an F. I pass all my other classes, including A&P, with 4.0 . She don't feel I can handle this sort of stuff....

I don't have a job that pays but I do have 4 kids between 2 and 8 and a husband who is never home.

Kudos to you! It's tough to have little kids and be determined enough to go to college.

I have 5 that are 9 yrs old and under. I always say I have a job but it doesn't have a paycheck too! I just take one day at a time and try to keep up with the laundry / dishes / homework (theirs not mine)! I recently came to realize that there is a wonderful side bonus..my kids are SOOOO PROUD of me when I tell them "mommy got my quiz back and I got 100 %". They are beaming.

Keep up the hard work, we'll get there!

Also, I am taking Nutrition in the Fall along with Chemistry. I decided to take it online and have heard it's not very hard....I'm hoping that's true! I'll be checking back in with you to hear how it's coming along for the summer students.

i am actually enjoying my on-line nutrition class, my professor is great, and the so are the other students!! i am learning alot, i'm also learning alot in AP, but nutrition i find much more doable... in fact when i study for AP, i read my nutrition book, because they give simpler easier to understand breakdowns...for example, the various diffusion processes make a hell of alot more sense (in nutriton), when you reading about the whole digestion process...AP is very difficult...and i studied two months before i even started class...!!!

I'm taking Nutrition on line as well and from the look of the syllabus the entire grade is based on only two exams! This should be fun.

my nurtrition class is over...i pulled a A-...so i'm glad about that...

when is your class over?

I took nutrition last semester. It was very very easy and straight foreward. All of the nutrition classes at my school are very similar in the outline of the class and assignments. I learned a lot and it was very interested. I think if weren't in the class we would have gotten through the material much faster because I had comments or questions about almost everything. Good luck, you will enjoy it!

I am taking nutrition, history, ethics, algebra, geometry, and concepts of diseases. I am taking nutrition in the class and ethics online. :wtosts:

I want to take nutrition and don't know how it will be. Can I get more information on this and I love taking online classes. Maybe I will reconsider in taking it online.
