Dr. Pradhan was so funny. He would crack jokes during lecture and sometimes people would laugh, and sometimes they wouldn't. One time he freaked me out though cause I raised my hand to answer a questions and he knew my name, despite me never introducing myself to him. However, turns out my TA spoke to him about me because of our presentation during discussion. So it was really nice that he remembered my name and could pick me out of a crowd. He makes it very obvious what is going to be on the exam, even to the extent of telling us the literal essay question during lecture. Sometimes he loses track of time, or says you can read this on your own time. If that was the case, I would appreciate some pre-class reading so we can get through all the material. But he is very passionate about what he does. Discussions are super easy and mine got out early by like 30 minutes all of the time. |

The set up for this class was Mr. Pradhan and Mrs. Wang alternates each month for exam topics. The course itself is not hard as long as you do the work, with weekly group homeworks (not hard) and a group presentation. There is no final, it's just exam 3 (on the most recent topics) and a final paper which is group paper. Professor Pradhan is a good teacher, he is funny and tries his best to engage students with his lectures. My main struggle with his teaching was that it was hard to understand him and he always had a bunch of slides with things that weren't really relevant to the exam topics. Overall, I liked this class and recommend it if you can take it! |

I love Dr. Pradhan, he makes lectures pretty interesting and he is very clear with what will be on the exams and tells us what specifically to take notes on and as long as you listen and study you will be fine. The only problem is he sometimes spends way too long on one topic and has to rush through the slides at the end, but he posts the slides on canvas so you can always just go look at them yourself if you need it. Discussions are mandatory but they’re easy too. |

This class had a lot of overlap with NFSC100 but we were taught a lot about food processing basics. The exams were relatively easy if you paid attention and studied the content from lecture. Discussion was also easy, with two presentations about a nutrition topic and one short final paper over the course of the semester. The TAs did review the discussion before each exam as well, which was helpful. I would definitely recommend it as a gen ed if you are interested in nutrition, and I would recommend Dr. Pradhan (who taught half the lectures for my section). Pradhan was a good lecturer and made it clear what ideas to focus on for exams. |

Didn't learn anything, but didn't need to. Easy A if you show up to discussions, and you don't even have to pay attention (I took the blended section). I have never seen this or the other professor, but I think they do recorded lectures or something. My TA handled all of the logistics, planning, and review. |

Easy class as long as you actually watch the lectures, take notes, and study for exams. Lectures are asynchronous and discussion only meets once a week for an hour where all you do is 1 student presentation and a short quiz. There are short weekly homeworks which are easy - but if you tank the exams its hard to pull yourself up because all other assignments are less than 15 points. Not a super interesting course but easy Gen Ed. |

Pretty funny guy and he knows his stuff too. Pretty much tells you exactly what is going to be on the exams. Class with him is pretty fun. |
