Awesome
I took Doctor Ingram's online class for summer. She's super kind, respectful and cares about your well being. The summer course Nutrition includes, four tests, one per week for each module. The rest was the MindTap assignment, which took a lot of time to complete. But it will help you learn the content. Just read the book and take good notes. It's an easy class if you put in the work.

Prof. Ingram was one of the best profs I've had at KSU! You can see that she's very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the content. She's also caring and understanding about the students' grades. Because of the pandemic, we had to take it online with several worksheets and quizzes weekly. Still the kindest tho!

I thoroughly enjoyed enrolling in Professor Ingram's nutrition course. Initially, I anticipated it would primarily cover dietary practices. However, to my delight, it delved much deeper into the scientific aspects. Concurrently taking the class with Anatomy and Physiology enhanced my understanding of both subjects synergistically. The course consisted of assignments instead of traditional lectures, a format I find appealing. Seeking assistance was met with his exceptional intelligence and the availability of ample extra credit opportunities added to the overall positive experience.

I'll be honest, this class was way harder than I expected. It took a lot of work just to earn a B. But, it's clear that he really wants us to succeed. She actually gave us a lot of chances to do extra credit work. I'm not going to lie, the class is not easy at all. Still, he's an awesome teacher.

Good
She cares about this class. You can tell she's all about it. She gives it her all to make sure you get what's going on, but she also expects you to work hard too. If you don't give it your best, it's not gonna go so well for you. Also, if you can, take Anatomy or a Biochemistry class before this. It'll really help.
