MCDB26 . Low S H A Month Ago

Did not know what kind of class I was getting into. It was more like AP Bio then actually learning about nutrition. Do not take this class if you do not like science. Only reason I passed the class was because of my goated TA Michelle!

Started online but in person after a month. Slides posted, but she gave additional info in the lecture. Section attendance is mandatory but the lecture is not. Lowkey hard. Take the other nutrition class through the health department. Like no assignments, so both midterms and finals are ur grade. Weekly quiz in section. Didn't expect it to be hard.

She's so funny and sweet. Her lectures were so entertaining and could lowkey come off as borderline offensive LOL The TAs in my quarter carried and wrote the exams, which were all very fair. It was not an easy class — I had to study (since it was basically memorization) — but if you studied well, it's a pretty easy A on the exams.

this is NOT an easy GE. lectures are interesting but the tests are basically a biology test. If you're really into bio i would say take it, but im not a stem person so it was pretty hard. lectures and sections aren't mandatory. very easy weekly quizzes and assignments. tests were honestly the only hard part of the class.

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. Advertised as an easy GED but consists of extremely hard upper div bio chem concepts. Everyone in my class struggles and the tests have things we hardly talked about in class. Don't take it.

I 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
