if you are taking this class , leave everything on side , because he gives you aloooot of homework .And you miss one thing or you didn't do as he expected you are not getting anything in the class. till now hardest teacher i have seen . and especially if you are taking this as an elective class . don't take it . just don't take him

I did his online class. He is a terrible teacher when is comes to actually teaching. He appears very organized and clear in what he wants, but then you are tested on things that have not been covered or clearly taught. Assignments are not applicable to the learning outcomes and are a waist of time. quizzes are hard and not enough time is given.

One of my worst online classes ever. Would give useless assignments on how to properly submit a profile pic and create a webpage (true story). Would give 30 seconds for each question in quizzes and exams with questions that had absolutely nothing to do with what were taught earlier. Horrible professor.

Worst prof, if you miss any assignment you fail, his tests have questions unrelated to what you are learning. I would not take a course with him again. For an online course, he's pretty slow with emailing back as well.

This Prof put almost no effort into his powerpoints, nothing was very well explained. Unrealistic expectations for testing, only giving 6 minutes to complete 16 questions and the final was even worse with 82 questions in 50 minutes.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Does not teach at all just posts khan academy videos as lectures ... what a joke. Incredibly lazy

Take this class if you want to pay money for watching YouTube videos as lectures. Cant believe ufv pays him for this.

Worst prof. Does not care for students. He gives some written notes, some powerpoint slides, and youtube videos. All of which are recycled material. He does not do any legitimate teaching in this course. Even if you do well the majority of the semester, if you do not do well on the cumulative final (at least 50%), you will fail. Avoid at all cost

The absolute worst of all time. Please avoid to save your mental health.

While he obviously has experience teachin online and is very organized when doin so he clearly doesnt care about all his students. He doesnt provide any lectures and forces u to learn the material on ur own with some notes and ur textbook. He gives unrelated assignments in a Kin class and his quizzes are extremely fast. Dont take if u hav hard seme

This prof does have a clear online learning layout, but that is about all he will do for you. He gives you the longest notes with endless amounts of facts on them and expects you to just teach yourself, does not give examples or anything. Assignments MUST be done his way, little details like having a font he did not like will get you marks off.

Professor Harper was by far one of the most unreasonable Profs I've encountered. As a dean's list student I understand the work that is needed in a class, but the amount of work and expectations were impossible. Dedicated around 30 hrs a week to this class, with no compromise on his half ever. Sick one day? Won't get the opportunity to write it.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Most unforgiving harsh unreasonable prof. Test every wk only 30 sec for each question and they are long questions. His assignments are so hard for no reason, the part that is hard about them has nothing to do w/ his class. I dropped class and will never take another class with him ever again. save ur mental health and dont do it

By far the WORST KIN professor ever. I have no idea why he is so tough on us. You are given barely any time for weekly quizzes. Not to mention his final exam was HORRIBLE to write. It was literally 36.5 seconds per question (I did the math), and it included MATCHING questions. You have no time to even read the question. Save your GPA, dont take

DONT TAKE. Has a god complex, gives NO time for quizzes, will not help u AT ALL with ANYTHING, notes are endless, gives u stupid assignments unrelated to course, has u hand assignments in early to "approve" it but he takes forever to get back to u so u just have to wait and if he doesnt like it u must redo it. Save ur mental health, do not take

I do not understand how he is a professor. Who gives their students only 50minutes to write a 83 question exam that included matching, fill-in-blank, MC. worth 40% of our grade! Ridiculous. No time to even read all the answers. Be smart and DO NOT take his class. He makes you learn coding too for a KIN class?! worst professor EVER.

Makes you purchase his own book but the book has nothing to do with the course. 100% book sales. Spelling errors all over his lecture notes, but critics class presentation for spelling error that "should have been caught". I have never met a teacher who does not care about students as this guy. He actually wants people to struggle.

DONT TAKE W/ HIM does not teach, does not want to help/have you succeed, almost like he wants u to fail. The final is 83 Q's w/ 50 mins to do it. Basically no time to even think about the questions and if u fail the exam u fail the class. I worked so hard to just get 60% overall but because I got 46% on the final so I get an F. Thanks a lot Dave.

he's very hard with his assignments and makes the easy course seem so difficult. he expects way too much from students on his assignments, doesn't give easy marks at all, very strict with the timings of the quizzes and tests.

This course was the hardest class I've ever taken due to this unrealistic expectations! With 30 seconds/question, he expects students to learn all the details as if we are robots. This class took so many hours of my time to learn the material as he does absolutely nothing with countless typos in his notes. So many mental breakdowns, save yourself!

DO NOT TAKE HIM! WORST PROF EVER! Had a family emergency and he was so inconsiderate and did not show any sympathy. Many typos in his notes yet he expects students to memorize detailed facts and that too, recall in 30 seconds spread over the 12 units during the final exam. Such a waste of time. Save your mental health folks, its you're best friend

David is the most disrespectful professor I have ever had. I put 40 hours a week into this course, and that was barely enough. Taught the entire course to myself using YouTube videos as all he does is post 20 year old notes full of spelling errors. Lost 10 lbs and half my hair taking this course, try and take it with anyone else.

He'll say mandatory purchase of his diet fad book, dont, has nothing to do with course. He gives very little instructional material, gives you NO time on quizzes, and says that there has to be a reasonable class average, basically he says he doesn't want us to do well. He would rather everyone do poorly than one person look up a question. awful

weekly quizzes out of 12 points 30 seconds a question. with lots of matching, fill in the blank -more interested in obscure details than key concepts requires utmost detail from students but his notes are full of errors (discrepancies, a graph that added up to 110%, chemically incorrect line structures) -micromanaging -encourages you to drop out

Seems like i'm not learning nutrition but rather how to use blackboard. That seems to be all he cares about. Never a comment about the work or the content, just "Link doesn't open in a new tab, please try again." All he cares about is formalities. I have never had a teacher who cared so much about non-course-related nonsense.

Worst KIN professed by far, cares and marks on nuances not even remotely related to the course, unrealistic expectations and zero help. He turns a subject I enjoy into a burden and unpleasant learning experience. Not sure how this control freak is still a professor, DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM, YOU WILL REGRET IT!

I have never left a Rate my prof comment because I have never had a prof drive me to this. But David Harper is by far the worst prof you will ever have. He is lazy, anal about spelling and format even though his own stuff is poorly made. He makes the course so heavily weighed on a final this is impossible to do. It is 82 questions in 50 minutes.

worst prof at UFV, no compassion for students. cares only about his KETO book. no interaction, weekly quizzes each question is 25 seconds to answer. the exam is a pass or fail, if you pass the exam you get credit. If you fail the exam everything over the semester does not count. HE is TERRIBLE. people have had mental health issues from him, BEWARE

DONT TAKE HIM, makes you do coding, nothing related to nutrition, treats students terrible. Not to mention this teacher will take a toll on your mental health so stay away from him.

Doesn't care about students. Prepares students for failure rather than success. The evidence is in the course syllabus. Preparing students for a tough course is reasonable. But to suggest they quit before they have even started is ridiculous and uninspiring.

Never in my University years have I come across such a narcissistic professor. He makes students buy his own book he's (very poorly) written and the amount of time he gives to finish weekly quizzes and the final exam is 30 seconds a question. I genuinely don't understand how he is allowed to still be a professor at the university. 0/10 AWFUL.

I would not recommend, makes you create a website in a nutrition course..

guys if you need credits n want to complete just ur diploma then dont take it.

this is a nutrition class, not a coding class. assignments totally off-base. condescending. if you email him a question he'll respond to tell you not to email him, use the messaging platform on blackboard(which every prof says not to use), and then won't answer you until you post it in the QnA section. his feedback is "follow the instructions" 0/10

Where do I being with David. He was very unorganized, had spelling mistakes everywhere and was using 4 year old notes from covid. He assigned one of his coding assignments, but because he is so disorganized 3 days after he assigned it he changed everyones topic so we had to restart. This class was the worst class I have ever taken. Dont take.

David is so rude and his teaching methods are unethical please don't take courses with this professor

He failed me because I didn't get a certain overall percentage between the midterm and final exams even though I passed the class. Also doesn't teach and expects you to teach yourself very complex topics and the exams are ridiculously large

This professor's teaching methods are extremely unorthodox and frustrating. He assigns irrelevant coding projects in a nutrition course and provides minimal support. Apps like Unstuck AI could be helpful for self-study, but overall, I'd advise avoiding this class at all costs.

He makes students buy his own book and assigns readings from it (bought and never read it, you don't need to), only reason it has sales. The course content is all old material, probably made during COVID. He assigns random things unrelated to nutrition (coding, web design, etc.). Basically he does nothing but mark assignments by a strict criteria.

This is an otherwise fairly interesting and not overly complicated course however with David it is significantly harder than it needs to be. Course material is not overly difficult and neither were exams but David gives completely unrelated assignments and makes you do coding. He forces students to spend a lot of time doing non KIN related stuff
