Reviews of professor Danielle Defries

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Amazing prof! Probably one of the best profs I have ever had in my three years in University. Yes, the course was difficult because of all the material but she made this course easier to understand and learn. She was always was looking for new ways to get through to the students and would spend hours with you in her office until you understood!!

Danielle is the best prof I've ever had in my four years at the U of W. She is so knowledgeable and is able to explain complex topics in a way that you wouldn't expect. She recognizes that the content of the course is extremely difficult, so she is very caring and understanding when you have a question. Tests are tough. Don't miss any lectures!

Danielle was one of the best profs I have had at U of W. She thoroughly explains all of the topics, which makes it basically mandatory to go to class. Her tests and exams are very challenging, and you MUST know the material thoroughly to be able to explain it in detail for the long answers. If you go to class and study a lot you will do well.

Danielle was always accessible outside of class (office hours or by email). Tests were hard but fair, you really need to understand the concepts shes teaching and not just memorize facts. She can fly through certain complex topics a little too quick I found, but would always repeat it if asked. Found the final really hard but overall a good prof

This is a really great prof. She knows her information very well and explains everything so beautifully. The only thing I would like to note is that if you have misophonia, specifically geared towards her online recorded lectures you should reconsider. She makes a lot of mouth noises and made it hard to focus. Everything else was perfect.

Prof Defries was one of the nicest profs I had in 1st year! Granted, Nutrition is known as an "easy course," she makes you work for an A. Assignments are important so be sure to try your best on them. Midterm was fair, final was a little brutal. She's super nice and approachable! Highly recommend her.

Overall a great professor. She really cares about her students. Physiology is a tough subject for most and she tries her best to explain everything in a way you can understand. She is willing to help students with issues outside of her classroom as well. Would take a course of hers again!
