Comment:

I absolutely loved this class. Dr. Cazes is a great lecturer and I learned so much in this class. Their is a lot of material to cover & remember, but if you review a little bit every day it's not so bad. Everything you need to know she covers in lecture and is in her PPT's. She also gives extra credit opportunities. I would highly recommend her.

She means well and knows the material, but is unorganized and stuck on procedures over content. This class could have been an informative and fun, but it wound up being a frustrating waste of time. The pop quizzes were based on page numbers rather than concepts. The notebook (which is a huge part of the grade) was tedious and hardly practical.

Comment:

I took this class as a summer mini elective. The class ended up being VERY interesting. The professor was clear and upfront with all class material. She was easily available and gave feedback on each DB. 4 exams straight out of the book. Complete the reviews and you will be fine. 6 DB for extra credit. 5 day project about your daily health.

This professor is awesome!! Given I have familiarity with the material as a personal trainer. ALL of the material IS IN THE SLIDES ON BLACKBOARD. Food analysis project where you keep track of your food, 2 tests, including a final that is not cumulative. And a 2 page essay over food analysis project. I got a 95 without breaking a sweat. Take her!!!

Comment:

Mrs. C, if you read this, my best suggestion is to have some people proofread your tests BEFORE you use them. You KNOW the material- no doubt - but every test had confusing/ambiguous questions. This was a better class than I expected, and I learned useful skills and information.

Comment:

She is not a good professor. I had to take her in three classes. She is passionate about her subjects but she is way overloaded. She has a side business. If you are in the HHP program there is no other professor who teaches her subjects so good luck. Her test are often hard to decipher between the best answer and the almost best answer

She's pretty awesome. Lectures come straight from the power points. Tests are straightforward. You can tell she lives what she teaches, her body is amazing for however old she is. Classes can get boring, but it's rare when any class isn't.

Comment:

This class was so much fun! I lost about 10 pounds just thinking about the things she taught us. The people who said that her final had nothing to do with the review were referring to a Blackboard error that nobody mentioned to the professor until after the final had taken place. Fun, easy, and SO informative!!!

Horrible.. did not learn just memorized power points. Reviews are useless. The final did not have anything to do with the review.

You must pay attention in class. Teacher gives you all the information you need in order to complete assignments. 1 paper at end of semester worth 30% of grade. Tests are not easy but if you do the reviews & use book you will do fine.

Interesting class & you will learn things that could save lives. Not hard to get a "B" in the class with studying material. If you want an "A" you will have to study harder & make sure you ask questions b/c some test questions can be tricky. She is very nice & wants you to do well in the class. She is very passionate about the subject.

Tests had trick questions. Easy B but had to work for an A. Very nice and passionate about the subject matter, which made the class more interesting. Did not need the book.

Comment:

She makes nutrition interesting and fun. She makes things easy to understand, makes you take assessments of yoursef, track your diet, and has assignments to do, but they are not hard at all. She has a notebook, assignments, assessments, extra credit, a paper, and 3 tests that are all counted toward your final grade.
