Last Seminar  It has been a pleasure to be your instructor over the past 9 weeks. I really mean this when I say it: NS 335 is my favorite class to teach. I hope that each of you can walk away from this class with new knowledge about nutrition therapy and the complex diseases we covered. I also hope that you all will stay in touch! I enjoy helping students with recommendation letters (grad school, jobs etc) as well as searching for jobs in the health field. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do as an instructor to improve the quality of instruction. I wish you each the very best in your academic and professional endeavors.
