One midterm one final and one group controversy assignment. Seminars are based mostly on reading. Dr. Field is a respected professor and knows a lot on the topics she delivers. She gives good feedback throughout the course and answers questions patiently. The course itself isn't easy.

Comment:

If you put effort into this class, you'll do well. I attended class because the material, though dense, was very interesting, but attendance is not necessary because the all quiz and exam questions come right from the textbook. This class is mainly memorization, so keep up, read the textbook, study and you'll be fine, the class average is quite low

Comment:

I attended only 3 classes the entire term and walked out with a 4.0. Nutrition 100 is a very informative course, to my surprise. Took the course as a GPA booster but ended up falling in love with the material. The profs rotate every chapter, but they are all so approachable and helpful. Great course! Easy A!

Easy A. Read the notes and textbook and the readings. Do not attend class, one bonus question on each exam that came from lecture.

Comment:

Super basics but very full course. Need a good memorization technique in order to be successful in the class. Midterms and finals consist of very specific questions. Practice question & quizes are not much of a help but good indication of what to expect on an exam. Going to class in not required.

Comment:

Generally, a pretty straight forward course, which mostly consists of memorizing information from the notes. However, the little details are tested on the exams, so a thorough understanding of all content material is necessary. Class average was pretty low, so if you study well, the curve could benefit you.

Excellent professor. Tells great stories and lets you out 15 minutes early most days. Also gives bonus questions that are super easy if you attend lecture.

Comment:

Dr. Field was very nice and she knows her stuff really well as well as how to explain it to the class. Notes were always online ahead of class (but there were a lot of notes!) and I found it was best to take the notes before class so that during lecture I could write down what she was saying.

Comment:

This course provides information that is pretty basic. It's very detailed though... Exams feel like trivia and test you on the minute details randomly mentioned on a slide. I got an A because I'm pretty good at memorization, but if you're a concept person, be careful. Class avg is pretty low...so 85% was an A. Not a stressful course... so take it!

Comment:

Easy class, and also very interesting. It is no more difficult than any community league nutrition class you would take...the exams are not hard if you study..which is easy to do because of the mass amounts of practice questions online (some of which were on the exam!)

Comment:

Dr. Field is a really good prof who speaks clearly and conveys her ideas clearly. The textbook is available as a package or else you can read it online. Exams were fair; however, multiple choice questions could be slightly tricky at times. There were online assignments that were easy but a nuisance to do.

oh lawd 8:00 in the morning so it was easy to fall asleep, i was probably better off taking the off-campus course. Exams i thought were difficult, nit picky questions so you really have to know your stuff sometimes there stupid questions on websites stated in the online text. sometimes interesting but not always

Comment:

Dr.Field is very friendly. There's a ton of material in the course and she makes good use of class by timing her lectures so she gets through all of the info. Definitely stay caught up on the readings because there's so much. The long answer questions on the exams are pretty specific so you can't really fake it.

no textbook, just assigned readings off internet. graded on participation; also one optional assignment to make final exam worth less if you want. tough exams, very hard marker. i will only get an average grade but i learned a lot and really enjoyed this class. field is very knowledgeable and approachable. highly recommended.

Comment:

yes she's not the most interesting instructor, but her tests are easy; she tells you exactly what will be on them and if you do the readings and/or attend lectures a good grade is no problem.
