Prof Forman is a great lecturer - she is very clear and amiable. She prepares you well for the tests (2 midterms, 1 final). Overall, a fair and well taught class.

Very good, well spoken teacher. Lots of material covered. If you don't like taking lots of lecture notes, I would not recommend. Other than that, she is very good at explaining the subject material.

Great class, learned a lot. Fair assignments and grading.

Very good professor to take nutrition with. Very clear and helpful. Talks a bit fast sometimes but always repeats herself enough so you understand. The class has alot of material that is gone over but if you attend regularly you will do well.

Good teacher. Lots of lecture notes, but she prepares you well for the tests

Very good lectures, fast, informative, and everything she says is on her tests. Personally though the class was easy but other thought it was tough. She gives an easy paper assignment and is nice to look at.

She def knows the material, she teaches it really well, and shes super cool. Reccomend if your lookin to learn some cool stuff, but dont really wanna take science courses. but theres a lot of notes os dont skip class!

very good instructions very clear. Pleasant and well informed. Cutie

Teaches and talks fast but fair.

I absolutely loved this class and Deborah was an excellent professor. She does give a lot of information in a short amount of time but if you learn well from lecture you shouldn't have a problem. I highly recommend this class. For you gentlemen, she is very attractive too.

OMG talks way too fast, but she is very friendly and helpful. A lot of information but they are straight forward. Pay attention to her lectures, take a lot of notes, and you should be fine for the test. Also, do the books online quizzes they help a lot. 2 Midterms, Final, a Paper. Easy C or B

She is very smart and the class isi interesting. Take good notes and you'll do fine. You don't need the textbook. Try not to miss class becasue you'll miss a lot of information in just one class. Her paper is easy if you have basic English skills. Very fair grader!

Talks fast but is an excellent teacher. She spoon feeds you whats going to be on the test. Definitely one of my favorite professors. And she's hot too.

great professor... i highly reccomend her.. the trick to getting a good grade in her class, don't miss any lectures. everything she says is on the test.

great professor. she tells you everything you need to know for tests, but you need to go to class and take notes

I guess she was taken off this site for some reason. She does teach there again if she ever left. She is very nice, but her class is very detailed. You need to be at the class to get an A. She tells you everything that will be on the test. A recorder is a very good idea for this class because she talks very fast. She has a nice bod too.

Very animated, nice lady! Lectures are crutial for exams! She has great knowledge of material, ask her anything! She's a registered dietician. Fun class, fairly easy class if you attend, and what you learn is helpful in your everyday life!

Nutrition Class: So freakin easy, 2 exams and a small 2-3 pg. paper. Nothing more

Prof. Forman is a great teacher! Her class is challenging but you get a lot out of the class. Definitely recommend her!

Great teacher!! Her lectures are exactly what is going to be on her exams. Must go to class but if you take good notes you will def. get an A!! Talks a bit too fast so take a recorder if possible but a great class overall.

Brilliant teacher! She is amazing! She is a registered dietician who really knows her stuff. She makes you really interested in your own health, diet, and exercize routine.I love her class.She does speak quickly so a voice recorder is helpful. Some of the stuff is very scientific, but midterm and final follow notes precisely. Very easy paper!

EASY class! It's common sense, just take good notes, show up, don't bother buying the book. ONly buy the reader (supplament) for the class. Fast talker, but tests are starigh forward, and directly from notes. Great class for biology/chemistry majors.

She is one of the best teacher i have ever worked with. First she's hot. her body is so nice. Second she teaches well and if you take a good note it's and easy A trust me. take her. You'll see how nice she is.

Great teacher, lots of great information. Test were harder than expected but come directly off notes. She talks fast, but will repeate the information until everyone understands.

2 mult. choice midterms, 1 mult. choice NON-cumulative final, 1 research paper. Material is interesting and helpful. She explains the material very clearly. She is always upbeat. Does give some extra credit opportunities. Probably one of the best teachers I've had at CSUN. Highly recommended.

Very patient and inspiring professor who I really enjoyed. Abreast of new developments in topics covered in class and knows her stuff. You MUST go to class - tests questions are taken from the lectures. Pay attention, take good notes, and you'll do well. Buy the reader only.

Shes great! You need to go to class, all the tests are off the lectures. she sometimes adds points to our tests and is really nice. She does talk fast, so you gotta write your notes really fast. but you learn a lot. just go over your notes a few times before the test and you'll be fine

She knows what she's talking about. You'll like the class because she likes it. Her class was literally fun for me.

great teacher. seriously a very good teacher. not much homework. 1 paper like 3-5 pages.. 3 tests. now let me say i was interested in nutrition but this went WAY into too much detail. i probably should have taken a 100-level nutrition course. don't take this unless you are going into health science or related field. great teacher but not easy units

Good Class. It will sound like an Organic Chemistry class but dont get scared. He tests are really easy as long and you take notes in class and cram them in the night before your test. Do ALL THE EXTRA CREDITS. They will help...

One of CSUN's best. She is freakin awesome. If you take anatomy and physiology beforehand, this class is mostly review on digestive, only way easier. I got an A without the book, just buy the reader. She is incredibly knowledgable and she will make you think about what you're putting into your body. I eat healthier now because of this class.

She is awesome. Don't need the book. Test are based on her notes. And do all the extra credit!!

Amazing teacher sooooo knowlegable she realy keeps class interesting , tests are straight from lectures

This professor is passionate about her class. She is a registered dietitian. She will teach you soooooooo many useful things! Definitely recommend her! nice lady. I got an A. If you want an A it is ESSENTIAL to take VERY DETAILED notes. tests are from the notes COMPLETELY...IN DEPTH 70-80?s per test. final is NOT cumulative. gives some extra credit

Wonderful professor! Incredibly easy to understand and tests right from her lectures. Makes sure everyone is up to pace, and makes everything apply to oneself. Textbook was never touched. Highly, highly recommended class.

Great class and very informative. She is a little bit unorganized but make sure you write everything she says down. Tests are directly from the lectures. No textbook but requires an inexpensive class book that she put together. There are 3 tests and she gives a verbal study guide for them. Kind of hard but not terrible. Take her class!

Very informative, I learned so much. Take very good notes, she gives a verbal study guide, she will start to name things to know, but overall easy class and opportunities for xtra creadit. Very well dressed, nice lady!!!

She is a great teacher. She makes the topic very interesting. Take good notes since tests are based on them and the course reader. Don't buy the textbook. You never even crack it open. Do all the extra credit. Very cool class if you need an upper division GE.

Excellent course! very interesting if you like the health field and in general. took summer session and had 1 presentation, a couple of quizzes and hw assignments and final. Prof Forman knows how to teach and make the concept easy to understand even though she is dealing with complex issues. Very good class. not too hard if you pay attention!!!

This class wasn't easy! Don't take this if you need upper div. gen ed classes. You write maybe 8-11 pages worth of notes every class meeting, and sometimes she didnt have enough time to finish everything! Stay away, only real smart people will think this class is easy, and even then, the smarties complained it was a lot of info and hard to keep up

The best class I ever had. she is an amazing teacher that explains the materials super clear . I learned soooo much in this class and let me tell u this, this is the first class that i didn't look at the clock during the lecture. Soooo interesting she made it interesting

If u want to learn and get a good grade take her. she is extremely helpful, extremely clear on the subjects.DO NOT buy the book I did and I spend sixty something to rent it and I never even opend it. all her test comes from the notes. make sure you go TO CLASS to take notes. I enjoyed goiong to her class

I totoally disagree with that person who says do not take her. really???? I can't belive that somepeople don't want to bother reading their note knowing that what ever it is in there would be on the test. come on guys do u guys really want to have a teacher that confuses you and made you read the whole book??? then u better take somebody else lol

great professor, she makes the class sooooo much interesting . you will never get bored in her class. 1 test 1 midterm and a final, make sure you pay attention in the class and take notes. tests come from her lectures. It is so much easier when you know what to expect on the tests.

I never rate any professor but this time I have to say that I am so excited to rate her excellent . NO one can teach Health and nutrition any better than herrrrrrr.

One of the Best Professor I have taken. You just have to show up to class and take good notes, since her tests are made up of what she teaches in class not the book. Never really used the book, but helped to review some things for the final and tests. Take Her.

You take a lot of notes each class probably about 8 to 10 at the very least if you are taking good notes. I recommend a recording device because it is a lot of information. If you really want to learn take this class...otherwise dont bother because it is a lot of work. the class was not exactly what I though it would be but she was pretty cool

Couldn't ask for a better professor. Her lectures are never boring because you learn things you actually WANT to know. I have learned so much from this class on how to eat right and be healthy. Little facts like why fiber helps you poo make this class interesting. Go to class & take good notes and you'll get an A :)

If you really want to learn and take actual knowledge from a class when semester is over take this class...very interesting and very easy! only 3 tests..final not cumalative! and no homework no text, just extra credits!! (Heaven right?) bottom line easy class sweet professor

You definitely need to record each class because she talks very quickly and everything she says could be on the test. She talks fast it's really difficult to write everything down. She teaches meaningful info but it was not exactly what I expected...Beware its not an easy class but if you record the class and study you can get an A...I did...

Professor Forman is great! she is extremely clear. Take notes in class but dont try writting everything down but focus on major points. read the powerpoints before exams and you'll be set. if you're a bio or chem major this class is easy peasy. i got an A and literally reviewed my notes the night before and exam. good luck!

You dont need to buy the book because everything is based off her lecture. As long as you take good notes that's all you need to study for the test (a total of 3). She offers assignments that help boost your grade for a test. She's one of the best professors you can take at CSUN! Visit her during office hours because she's very helpful.

Love this professor! Shes so wonderful and a wealth of information. Would take her class over and over again. Dont buy the text! Everything is based off of lecture. Book CAN be helpful to clarify confusion, but definitely not necessary.

This class changed my life! What an excellent teacher. Her experience as a dietician shows through in her teaching. The class information is heavy so don't miss a lecture or you will fall beind, but you won't want to miss a class because it is so interesting. Text book not needed. The only class I can say gave me my money's worth. Thank u Ms. F!

Excellent professor.Dedicated to the course work.

Great Teacher! knows her stuff!! Amazing at answering questions! One of the best classes I've taken! I can def apply the things I learned here in life! Take notes! A lot of information :(

Very approachable professor. There are 3 exams inc. the final exam & not cumulative, 1 homework, and the rest is extra credit. She knows what she's saying! She is a Dietitian. If you're a type of student that likes details and do not mind taking bunch of notes, take her! The course is very very interesting, and a professor like her suits the job!

Prof. Forman is a great professor. Overall a fun class but not an Easy A. You need to attend all class meetings and take really good notes. Didn't buy the textbook and did well in the class. Buying the reader is only necessary because theres 1 assignment from there - if you can photocopy someone elses you'll save 40 bucks. Good class overall.

Great Teacher. Don't bother reading the book. Just go to lecture and study the power points. I got an A in the class by studying 2-3 hours before each test. She seems like a very nice person and cares for the students and is passionate about the material. Would definitely recommend.

Great professor. Her exams are based off of her lectures. No need for the book. If youre a bio major then this class is an EASY A. If youve taken physiology before then this class is super easy. She offers plenty of extra credit and she curves each test. Definitely a must take.

Don't bother with the book, just take really good notes and study hard. Coming to class is extra credit if you stay for the assignments. Tests are a bit more difficult than they would seem, but passable. 2 test and a final with some mini assignments in between. Great lady!

She's amazing!!!Tests are hard but read the book and you'll be fine.Uses power points to lecture.Random in class activities that'll help your grade in the end so make sure to go to class.Very approachable and easy to talk to.Very sweet lady who wants her students to do well. Take any class with her if you get the chance, she's great!!

Easy class. Assignments were simple. Tests were passable if you were in class and went over the study guide a few times. Material was actually interesting and for once had relevance to our lives! Professor is very knowledgable. I enjoyed this class and learned a lot about health and nutrition. I would definitely reccomend this class.

She's one of the greatest professors at CSUN! I'd recommend taking her for HSCI. Don't even bother with the book. Just take good notes and go over her powerpoint and you should be fine. Although her tests aren't the easiest. Put in time and study! Awesome professor, great course!

Professor Forman is the best! Go to her office hours so she knows you personally. There are hundreds of students in her 337 class so if you want her to know you the office is the place to go to. Easy class. Study, ask questions and you'll get an A. Very helpful and kind. Recommend everyone to take this class!

Loved her and her class! Learned so much. Make sure to go to class since the in class assignments are ec. You don't need the book. Take really good notes & study the power points and you'll get an A. Her tests are tricky but if you study, you should be fine.

Professor Forman is very intellectual regarding the subject! Her powerpoint were somewhat lengthy and to descriptive but very data driven. You have a couple in class assignments which she uses to mark attendance, occasional quizzes and exams.

She made this class interesting. I would recommend. Her tests were difficult only because there was so much information that she went over. However, since her lectures were not boring I did not have to study extra because she made it easy for me to pay attention. To study I only used her power points, and class notes.

Professor Forman is amazing! Her lectures might be long, but she always gives extra credit! She's very inspirational on her lectures. Her exams though are ridiculously difficult despite giving a study guide. She gives two exams and a final exam only.

3 tests (last one is final but not cumulative) worth about 90% of grade and a few small assignments for the rest. DON'T BUY BOOK it's all from the power points and she posts them on Moodle. Information dense but interesting lectures & gives a really helpful studyguide telling you everything on the test. Oh & she's beautiful.

Her class material is pretty easy, but exams can be hard. There's 3 exams + two super easy homework assignments. She gives some extra credit opportunity if you show up to class. Overall, study extra hard on her exams.

This prof makes the subject very interesting. I learned so much and have found myself to be more aware of my health. Two exams and a final. A short paper and one or two quizzes. It is science heavy so be aware if you don't know basic chemistry and biology this may be hard. I am a bio major and chem minor so this class was not hard for me.

I would recommend taking Professor Forman if you have to take the class HCSI 337. Her lectures are heavy on valuable information This course included: 2 midterms, 2 outside easy assignments, and a final. In order to get a good grade you have to make sure you do very good on the midterms. She's very knowledgeable and will answer all your questions.

Terrific professor. The material she covers during lecture will open your eyes. She truly provided a new lease on life, considering we learned how to make next-level informed decisions about our health. Would agree that coming in with a solid science foundation would be helpful, though not a deal-breaker. Take excellent notes and study passionately

In order to pass, you really MUST dedicate time to this class. For a piece of advice, PRINT OUT THE POWERPOINTS BEFORE class. The reason I say this is because it is difficult to retain much of the heavy lectures, unless you are an auditory learner. Taking and handwriting notes on the powerpoints as well as highlighting will help! Use the book too.
