Reviews of professor Sharon Himmelstein

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Himmelstein was such a great professor. She always comes with a positive attitude and is willing to help you in whatever you need help. In addition, she is also understanding and very encouraging. I would recommend making time for this class since she does have a few projects and assignments throughout the semester.

Prof. Sharon sets you up for success. She is in constant contact with her students and gives you all the tools you need for an A. Her lectures are fun and engaging and her quizzes make sense. She is there to help you and clearly loves what she teaches.

Professor Himmelstein is my favorite teacher of all time- I took NUTR 5 with her. We used textbooks, but the textbooks are solid and applicable in class and outside of class. She is so passionate about what she teaches, is always bringing in the most interesting outside resources, bakes amazing bread! A potluck is part of the final! Coolest teacher

Professor Sharon was excellent! She made this class very interesting to learn about. She does give a good amount of work. However, if you pace yourself and break up the work a little bit at a time it is manageable. She was extremely understanding and accomodating and gave extremely good feedback. I would definitely take another class with her!

Excellent class but a lot of work (reading textbooks, additional articles, diet project, case studies, research paper, presentation....)

Being in an accelerated class, instead of lectures we would often do a mini group-presentation instead (done in 30 mins to an hour and never meant to be too polished). She was always understanding and therefore rarely applied strict due dates. She also expressed the priority to understand rather than memorize, so all of the tests are open-book.

My favorite professor of all time. Always had the most wonderful attitude, very passionate about what she teaches, wants all students to succeed. Her energy is welcoming, you take away a lot from the class because she encourages self study on the topics. Great class for ANYONE who wants to know basic and advanced nutrition. Work load is moderate

One of the best professors I have taken at Las Positas! She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and makes it fun for everyone. She is willing to help anyone who is struggling and sometimes nice enough to extend due dates for homework assignments. All assignments, exams, and finals are done online. Really enjoyed this class and would take again!
