Rena Mendelson

I was sick when taking this class and this professor went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of more than any other professor in my other classes. She was very kind and cares about her students. The course was not difficult and she can be very lenient.

Easy course and mark fairly. The PSA and SMC is not relevant to nutrition. The food demonstration video was heavy. Both PSA and SMC, and Food Dem video are easy mark (these are two major assignment for this course). The lectures were clear and concise. The quizzes were ok just need 1-2 mins grace period (some questions are comprehensive).

Descriptions provided don't fit Mendelson. This class got students to make and edit videos with no guidance how to execute, only guidance for the content. Felt like a pointless class that may only benefit those getting into media/ dietetics. Should not be a mandatory class imo. But it was an easy class and she grades leniently.

Great prof! She provides a lot of additional resources/guidance for the assignments, which makes them an easy A+ if you follow the instructions. The midterm and exam are difficult since you must memorize a lot of details to get 90%+. I recommend going to lecture since her powerpoints can be confusing. The textbook is only needed for clarification.

She's caring and her lectures are dense with material but sometimes, some of the information used to back up the info doesn't seem to make sense to me: like using BMI because that's an inaccurate measurement, or only talking about the pros of fluoride when there's a lot of cons too : I like her slide printouts as it helps to remember material tho!

Really hard!! She is nice and her lectures are decent, but her tests are very tricky

I personally wasn't the biggest fan; she is not a bad prof but I never got much out of her classes. the lectures always feel very long and boring and her tests can be pretty difficult unless you study every reading and memorize all her notes. LOTS of projects in this class that were extremely time consuming. nice person but not my favourite prof

Rena is a super sweet prof. Attending class is needed and useful as some lectures are content heavy and her explanations are helpful. Also power point slides do not always have full explanations. Assignments are easy mark boosters. Mid term and exam are fair but the multiple choice is tricky and details need to be known.

The material taught was dense but Dr. Mendelson made it easy to understand. Assignments were manageable. Midterm and final were tough, but fair. Review your notes periodically (DON'T rely on cramming the night before) and you'll do well. Dr. Mendelson provided hard copies of the lecture notes for us weekly and was quite humorous. Great prof!

She is the best prof! She is caring and helpful towards students. She has a lot of knowledge and answers all questions with depth and clarity. Midterms are fair, have multiple choice and short answers. Textbook is not needed at all. Just attend all lectures! And the assignment is very easy.
