Dog shit prof

The content itself isn't bad, but the grading and overall way this course was made was terrible. If you took foods class in highschool it shouldn't be that bad, but again, the midterms and exams are poorly worded, a lot of students failed it creating a bifocal distribution of the results which the professor didn't consider assuming all the students who failed did not attend the classes.

The course content is interesting if you like nutrition content. Its heavy though, so you will need to memorize a lot of things including the results/ summaries of the graphs shown. Also attend the classes to sp you can write all the content on the slides since they aren't fully written.

The professor seems chill, her midterm and exam wording isn't the best though.

Make sure this course is something you need so you dont waste time or money on it.

2N03 is a really interesting course if you’re keen on learning the basic principles of human nutrition and its impact on disease. The lecture content is PACKED with scientific studies so it’s important that you take good notes with key takeaways from each study as you go through them. Assignments are kind of a hit or miss depending on which TA grades your work but it’s easy to do well if you adhere strongly to the guidelines and rubrics. When I took the course some TA’s penalized students for very tiny things (ex. not bolding the References title, leaving spaces between APA citations etc.) so make sure you pay attention to those things. Not a bird course, you definitely need to put the work in to do well, but you learn a lot that can be applied outside of academics so that was satisfying. ...read more

Dr. Pritchard is a great professor, she truly cares about her students and is a fantastic lecturer. Her lectures were pretty interesting and I really liked the way she discussed scientific studies as it related to the course content. The only thing I didn't like too much were her slides, I found them pretty convoluted.

Definitely take time each week to organize your notes for each learning objective for the unit, this will help you a ton when studying for the final exam since you’re expected to know all of the studies discussed in class.
