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
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.
It's a fairly interesting class but not easy. After studying for the midterm/final you may think you know everything but questions will appear that you've never seen in your life. I would always score much lower than I expected so be prepared to study a ton. Other than that she's really funny and very educated on the topic.
Really funny. Class doesn't count for any GEs besides basically units but Low cares about and loves teaching. Lectures are posted online so never went to class. Memorize lectures to do well on section quizzes and you will do well. Basically memorization. Short answer and multiple choice tests.
its a great ge to take while trying to balance difficult classes. Dr. Low is funny and sweet. My ta was awesome and section only lasted around 10 min each week. I would take this class again!
Low is mildly funny and has good lectures. Sh posts them on line with less detail but lectures aren't mandatory. Sections have a quiz every week which make attendance matter. Sections also have summaries due weekly but they are only a page and very easy. Overall the class was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
Go to class and highlight the things she says twice! That is what will be on the midterm and test. Memorize the PowerPoints; I suggest making notecards and studying those. Make them every week and study them before the quiz in section. If you don't like your TA the 1st day then switch! Answer all ?s she gives for summary so you get max points.
Ppt lectures online but she adds info so pay attention & GO TO CLASS she's made us lol a lot Make sure you study for those little multiple choice quizzes They add up Book is good to clarify and make things solid so its recommend to get better grade TestsDetail of every detail so STUDY! know how to spell outcorrectly! memorization is key!
This class consists of a lot of memorization, however the content is pretty straight-forward. The lectures are long but she was really entertaining and would sometimes let us out early.
Surprisingly entertaining, considering the subject. It's all memorization, and her tests can be tricky, but if you spend some time going through her powerpoints online, you'll do well.
The class was fairly boring, but Dr. Low kept it entertaining with her jokes. She is a solid teacher. You don't need to come to class because everything that is on the test is on her slides. The tests are pretty challenging though, so do study!
This class is okay. Sometimes cool and interesting, sometimes dull. Slides are posted online, and don't need textbook at all. She makes a lot of little jokes that are really funny. Overall, the tests are very fair, yet detailed oriented. Quiz during each section and an easy, peer graded essay. Solid choice for a GE, but don't expect an easy A.
i truly loved this class- one of my favorites. It's a hard class and you have to make it a priority if you want to do well but if you're interested in nutrition its super interesting. Prof is HILARIOUS and makes lots of little jokes. all her slides go up on gauchospace so you can go back and review. She's incredibly thorough and very fair.
She was pretty funny in class but her tests are designed to trick you and she doesn't give study guides are anything. Definitely study off the lectures and not the book.
1 group project (presenting medical microbiology research) + 6 quizzes (3-5 questions) that you take every week in your section, as well as 2 midterms and 1 final, which make up roughly 80% of your grade. Midterms were a cakewalk, with 100% being memorization. The final, however, was the hardest I've taken in college, but the curve was fat though!
would not have gotten an A if it was just her teaching the class. bad lecturer and worse tests. shes the weeder prof for a reason. just dont
Funny professor, yet miserable class. Exams are poorly written and not fully reflective of lectures. She does not curve. Exams are fairly difficult. My biggest tips are to go to office hours and never underestimate the difficulty of the class.
