Reviews of professor Eileen Mackusick

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was frustrated with how carefully she grades- but she will tell you exactly why she gave you your grade so you can do better. She will grade you harsher in the discussion boards if your opinion is different then hers. There is a weekly quiz, 1-2 chapters in LearnSmart, and a discussion due every week. You need to work on the discussions ahead!

There are weekly quizzes, discussions, & projects. The quizzes were embedded in the online textbook and were fairly easy. Her discussions were always 2-3 topics. She also required you to reply to people. The reading and quizzes took about an hour. The discussions/projects were too time-consuming for a 3 unit course.

I took an online nutrition class in the summer, and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. She's sooooo knowledgeable and openminded to the new researches and information. You'll learn a lot from her even if your major is far from nutrition. I loved that she uses not only the book, but other sources like videos, articles etc. as well.

Prof M was one of my favorite professors because she made learning about nutrition fun by making us apply it to our own lives while also making it educational. We had weekly textbook chapter readings, discussions, and quizzes due each Wednesday. The weekly work can sometimes take a while in total, so I would be sure to give myself plenty of time.

Mackusick is a really sweet teacher, would definitely recommend. She is very knowledgeable and resourceful. The class isn't extremely hard: one textbook reading + quiz, discussion a week. Some are more difficult/take longer than others, but isn't very difficult to get done, just tedious.

This class is very homework heavy. She is clear with her grading criteria and the concepts aren't hard, it is just a very time-consuming class. Every week there is a discussion, textbook reading, and quiz due. She is quick with her email response though so if you need help she is there.

Esay to pass Evan for a summer class. the work takes a lot of time but if you don't do it last minute you will be okay. If you do all the work you will pass with at least a B. Take him if you have to take BIO 310

I really learned a lot in this nutrition class, especially given it was online. The assignments and grading criteria were clearly laid out, and the professor was very accessible via email for any questions/concerns. She sent emails every week to summarize the week's material and give feedback and her research on the topics. Through course!

Very caring, may offer extra tries on quizzes or extended reading time if you have issues that gets in your way of learning. Weekly discussion takes at least an hr to finish, up to several hrs. Took as a summer class, rigorous but not boring. She is very knowledgable in this area and wants students to make better choices. Fun and inspirational clas
