West Valley classes are full with a full list of students still requesting to be added.
Cabrillo starts on Monday. Face-to-face students must attend the first day of class to avoid being counted as a no-show and dropped from class. Online students have an orientation at 6:30 pm on Monday night in room 450. If you do not attend orientation and have not emailed me to make other arrangements prior to the orientation, you will be counted as a no-show. I am obligated to drop all no-shows. If there is room, waitlisted students will be added. Once all students are added from the waitlist, I will add other students on a space available basis. If you have any questions, you may use either college email to contact me.
Eat well, play fit,

Update: West Valley and Cabrillo students are getting ready to return to school. Welcome Back! Please see notes in my post below regarding confirming enrollment or adding (waitlisted or not), particularly for online classes. All students trying to add the face-to-face classes at Cabrillo must attend the class into which they hope to be added. Please note that my West Valley email is not functioning. Email can be sent to me using this same nutritionrusso address at gmail.com. In an effort to prevent spam, I am not typing the full email address here. If you have sent me email via West Valley (or Cabrillo) and have not received a reply within 24 hours, please try the gmail address.
Eat well, play fit,
Denise

Countdown To Start of School on 1/31 (West Valley) or 2/7 (Cabrillo)!
This post provides information to both online and face-to-face students regarding class placement. If you are enrolled, wait-listed or trying to add, you should read the information that pertains to you. Students will be dropped to accommodate the students on the full waitlist and/or other students trying to add.
Important Information for Online Learners:
Cabrillo College Students: A face-to-face orientation is scheduled for Monday, 2/7, 6-9 pm in room 450. If you are enrolled and unable to attend this orientation, you must email me, within Blackboard, before 5 pm on 2/7, or you will be dropped from the class and a student added into your spot. If you are trying to add this course, please attend the orientation. If you are waitlisted or trying to add, please plan on attending orientation as if I have any room to add, I will add those in attendance first. You should also email to me a request to be added.
West Valley Students have a virtual orientation at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDZwBNQVMdY. All enrolled students must confirm their intent to participate in class, via email, by Monday, January 31st at 5 pm or they will be dropped from the course to make room for a wait listed student. Waitlisted and other students hoping to add should send me an email by Monday, 1/31. Once I determine which students need to be dropped, I will provide add-codes as space allows.
Enrolled and wait-listed online students will receive an email from me with further instructions during the week before school starts. If you do not receive this email by the Sunday before your class starts, please send one to me using the appropriate school directory to locate my email address. Make sure you include a subject or you will most likely end up in junk mail.
Face-to-face (lecture) students must attend the first day of class to avoid being dropped. Space in ALL classes is very competitive and any student (online or face-t0-face) will lose their spot in class if they do not attend the first day of class. If you are on the waitlist or trying to add, you must still attend the first day of class. Add codes will not be given until the 2nd week of school.
Please note that all students will be given directions on how to use an application called Diet Analysis Plus, however you may opt for using free apps at fitday.com and mypyramid.gov. This will require a bit more work on your part, but will save you the cost of the Diet Analysis application. I look forward to meeting all of you on Monday, either face-t0-face, or virtually.
Please explore this blog for more information regarding textbooks, class log-in, etc.
Eat well, stay fit, Denise

I am on summer vacation! I hope this blog will help you find some useful information. I will be updating it during mid-August, the week before classes begin. At that time, you will also receive an email from me about confirming your planned attendance if enrolled, or how to add if not on the waitlist.
On this site, you will find information about the textbook and also the course management systems used at each of the colleges at which I teach. In addition, please note that for online classes, all of our class meetings are done virtually. I do hold an orientation at Cabrillo but no other class meetings are held for online classes. Students who are hoping to add into an online class will need to email me on the first Monday of the semester, but it will take several days before I know if I can add you. Students hoping to add a face-to-face campus class MUST attend the first day of class. In all classes, I will add from the waitlist first and then, if there is room, I will add other students. If you have further questions, please send me an email with "need reply" in the subject line. However, I will be checking email infrequently during this upcoming month.
In the meantime, eat well, stay fit!
