CollegeI have never been more offended by an academic professional than I have by Professor Low. I'm in her nutrition class and she literally LAUGHED when talking about how some people need to get surgery to help with obesity. She is not sympathetic at all and makes people feel crappy if they're not in perfect shape and eating vegan. -5000/10
I find this woman's lectures to be so impossible to get thru. Like she's one of those professors whose literal voice irks u by the end of the quarter. She doesn't know how to explain concepts to make them easy 2 follow. She'll go on for way too long in lecture just to say "ok," flip the slide, & confuse tf out of u. She ignores raised hands too lol
This class made me very interested on the topic of nutrition. The class is pretty easy, everything on the test is on the slides. I thought the questions on the test were fair. It is also curved so that also helped my grade. Reading the book also helps but anything tested on will be on the slides so its not necessary.
Online txbk portal thing you only use for extra credit, but it helped me a lot. Paragraph summaries on articles each week. Quiz in section every week, review material before. Tests are graded harshly. Lectures are put online before class, I recommend printing them and taking notes on the slides, she moves fast. Low is funny and easy to understand.
