Theres TONS of videos that you need to watch and you are required to pay a lot to get your diet project forms (+textbook) which is pretty pricey since you cannot use a used textbook and its forms.

This is a very easy course that is straightforward. That being said, be prepared for the high price of the e-textbook which costs $54+tax to do the mandatory diet project. She does not give out the 6 pages of PDF. The online videos that you watch instead of lecture are ok but repetitive and slow, definitely possible to understand at 2X speed.

Professor A. is very enthusiastic with her lectures. The majority of the class tend to finish with mostly A's because she offers lots of extra credit.

It's a fun class to take and it is an easy A class because there are so much extra credit!!! The tests can be tricky sometimes but you can get at least 80% if you watch the review lectures.

NUT10 with Dr. Applegate is a must-take course. It's an easy A if you go to/ watch(virtual) the lectures and do all the extra credit. Not only is this class great for boosting your GPA, but it really puts into perspective how important a healthy diet can be. Don't miss out on an opportunity to take this class!

Great class, organized & clear lecture, straight forward. I took this as a GE and this is a pretty easy class, yet I learned so much and actually put what I learn to practice, the content of this class is relatable to us in everyday life. I feel like every student will benefit from this class.

She's teaching for the last time next quarter and I recommend everyone take NUT10 from her! Exams are easy, she actually tells you the questions for the exams and their answers. Entertaining lectures, and improved my health. You actually gotta do the work for this class, but it's not hard.

Fun class. The course material is very relevant to everyday life. You can take the class online, which I highly recommend. You only need to show up for the exams and to turn in a diet project. Virtual students can view all of the lectures online. She assigns a lot of extra credit so there is a lot of room for error on the tests.

Life changing class, the material you won't learn anywhere else. Applegate is respected in the field and REALLY CARES about her students' health and lifestyle. She doesn't impose what's bad or not, but rather informs you. 4 years in UCD and this class made me more attentive with my lifestyle and diet. You have to put in work, but there's no tricks.

Dr. Applegate is an expert in her field. I learned so much and it's information that you can apply to living a healthy life. Obviously, you have to do work in order to get an A or A+ but it is VERY doable. I took it online. Just read the book, listen to lectures, and study for the in class exams. She tells you EXACTLY what will be on the exams!

This is a really good GE to take. You can take it either in class or online (with in class tests). I took it online and found it to be easier for me. There is a lot to study and the tests can be tough but the amount of extra credit she gives makes up for it. You NEED the textbook. Especially for the diet project. Would recommend!

Dr. Applegate is really clear about the grading and gives hints for exams. Tons of extra credit and grade boost to help your grade. Must buy her textbook and attend review sessions. An easy A only if you put in the work and effort.

Comment:

Everyone told me this class was an easy A, but I ended up with a B. Professor Applegate wasn't the one teaching the class when I took it; one of her TAs taught it. Either way, the tests are all similar. Read the reader she makes you buy and make sure you go to class for bonus points or you won't get an A.

Dr. Applegate could not be more clear about what is on exams. Practice exams are super similar to actual exams and reviews sessions give you hints about the exams as well. Overall, a pretty stress free and interesting GE.

Comment:

The lectures are long and monotonous and the professor can be pretty annoying, but it's pretty much a guaranteed A and does teach you some useful stuff about your health and your body. So, if you want a GPA boost, take this class. I put in an average amount of work into it and ended with an A+ easily.

Comment:

I'm surprised her ego was able to fit in the lecture hall that holds over 500 students. With that said, she's a great teacher and gives lots of extra credit. I didn't want to put up with her grade boostwaiting in line and I still got an A. A class of 1,000 students is too large to get any meaningful interaction with the professor.
