Margaret Slavin NFSC100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/10/2024	You can tell Professor Slavin really does care about nutrition, but since the class is such a big lecture it's harder to be engaged, especially when class consists of reading off a powerpoint that has all the information you need. This being said, I am not a STEM major and found this class to be pretty easy and incredibly educational if you are passionate about nutrition (a STEM class that actually impacts your life!). While there is a lot of material, study guides are posted a week before the Exams and as long as you memorize you will be fine. I never really paid attention during lecture and would just study a week before and am ending with an A in the class, I reccomend taking this if you need a STEM gen ed or are curious about the subject.
Margaret Slavin NFSC100 Expecting a B Anonymous 11/20/2024	Overall, the lecture is really boring. It is a required attendance because there's a participation activity that you need to be in class to do. The professor just reads off of slides and doesn't add anything. The textbook is required because it comes with a nutrition monitoring tool that you need for a projects. Other than that it wasn't horrible. I didn't pay attention in class, studied 1 hour before the exams and got 70+ on each one. It's not too difficult. beware sometimes she'll get really mad at noise and start yelling for everyone to be quiet

The amount of information you need to memorize is insane. - You learn off slides. If there was no participation activity that required mandatory attendance you can bet I would not be there. The professor does not really add any valuable information in my opinion. - You are going to need to pay 60 bucks guaranteed because you need to use a tool that you can't pirate. Beware. - The TAs are not going to do a whole lot for you, be careful on the discussion activity stuff because they can be super nitpicky. Follow all directions carefully and closely. - If you are a memorization demon, this class is for you. We learned about all of cell biology in one 50-minute class period. If you are looking for an easy gen ed credit to knock out look elsewhere. Honestly, if you are hoping to learn about nutrition you are going to learn about it but not very effectively. I would say that you should probably just avoid this class and this professor for sure.
