Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are possible, but online students describe hours of weekly textbook and side assignments, so the A is not low-effort.
Online evidence points to high effort, while the single in-person review reports an A with a smoother class experience.
Is the course easy?
The nutrition content itself does not sound highly advanced, but the course structure makes it feel harder than expected.
Online reviews emphasize workload difficulty, while the in-person review makes the content sound manageable.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews do not clearly prove a strict attendance policy, though online Zoom and in-person participation are mentioned.
Online reviews mention Zoom structure, while the in-person review only suggests participation mattered.
Is this professor recommended?
Recent online reviews are strongly negative despite one older in-person review being very positive.
Online students would likely hesitate, while the in-person review strongly recommends the experience.
