Reviews of professor Daniela Malta

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was such a great learning experience because Dr. Malta made difficult clinical nutrition concepts easier to understand. Evaluations were tricky but fair, make sure to read the textbook. She's very reasonable and makes genuine connections with her students. I feel much more knowledgable in clinical dietetics after taking this course!

She is nice but she just reads the notes off the slides and you should read a lot by yourself.

Not really clear at explaining slides. Tends to be all over the place.

Dr Malta is so nice at explaining the hard nutrition concepts easier. She expects her students to read the textbook before the class and does not go into detail in the lectures. Instead, she explains the concepts with her personal experiences. The quizzes are easy if you go over the material beforehand. Good luck!

Daniela is a fair professor, her quizzes are very straightforward if you look at the lecture notes. However, she really needs to have clearer criteria for the position paper as the instruction is quite confusing to me a lot as well as the TA is a hard grader. Overall, Daniela is a good professor.

She is nice but generally reads off slides. You have to do the readings in order to do good in tests. She asks detailed questions in the tests so try to memorize every bit of information in the DRI manual if you can. Good luck :)

Dr. Malta always made lectures interesting by sharing insight from own professional experience in dietetics. She was always willing to provide more help if students needed it and took students' concerns into account. The midterm and exam were a bit tricky as the wording of the questions sometimes threw students off. But overall, great course!
