    Jason Menoutis PhD Health and Human Performance

  • My favorite class was research methods and design. The instructor’s feedback was extremely helpful and what I learned in this class will be applicable throughout the rest of my career. I also enjoyed my sports nutrition course because it was challenging and put me out of my comfort zone.

I was initially worried as I had not previously had much experience with online coursework, but the format allows for structured, discussion based learning amongst peers.
