this guy could talk for daayyyss and never run out of topics. he is extremely passionate about teaching and is sometimes overwhelmingly excited about certain subjects, which i suppose is better than the alternative. extremely easy class to pass, just read the book thoroughly along with his notes. seriously though, good guy. take his class.

I really liked Prof. Palagrudo. Very passionate about the subject and knows it inside and out. Easy class, just read the notes and the book and you'll do fine. I would highly recommend him. Really nice guy.

Excellent Nutrition Teacher, very understanding of the situation of his students, gives lots of leeway for anything and everything. Very competent of his understanding of nutrition - he is after all a researcher at UC Davis. Uses asian wife and baby boy as examples for nutrition most of the time and Ikea. Gives alot of E.C, ez tests, no HW=Easy A!

He is a great guy who knows his stuff. Easy class I barley read the book and gotta B, just make sure you go to class. He is easily distracted and gets off topic during lectures. All his lectures are power-point presintation wich makes it easy to take notes, although his only problem was his struggle with the MAC.

Dr. Polagruto is awesome. He was the best professor I have had. A ton of extra credit & the online quizzes were GREAT. The in-class tests were challenging but the online quizzes & lectures helped. Diet project was easy but the take-home-quiz was time consuming. No real HW. Other than that he's extremely intelligent, helpful & hilarious. I wish he taught other classes b/c I would choose him again. I highly recommend him.

Very Good teacher! I was glad I took his class Easy A!!! Very informative and easy to understand.

Very easy class

professor Palagrudo is a fun teacher and gives numerous oppurtunities for his students to recieve an (A)in his class. Lectures can be a little boring, but attendance is not mandatory in class. I missed more then half of the class but I did my work and I got an A.

He is one of those teacher who makes to love their subject. Very helpful with questions, and you will learn a lot of stuff from his lecture.

very clear, informative, helpful, awesome teacher. His lectures are informative and very helpful. Take his class and you will learn a lot.

He was my Nutrition instructor and he was excellent, funny, and approachable. Test are not easy but if you study, you'll have no problems. I highly recommend this instructor.

COOL COOL teacher, the best nutrition professor I have ever taken. He likes to talk alot about his family, but hey it's not boring. He also made funny comments and such. Do his extra credits because it will help you get that A.

very nice and COOOOL teacher!!! Yes --> dont forget to do the extra credits!...wat r u guys waiting for?!!! take him !

What an awesome teacher! He is very helpful and offers a lot of opportunities for extra credit. What else can you ask for?

I totally failed all his test, but he gives A's on everything else, so I got a "B". He is a really nice guy and I probably wouldn't have failed all his tests if I had been more of a history buff. I could've gotten a better grade in his class if only I had studied for the tests the night before.

AWESOME professor! EASY A class!.. His exam is kinda hard but do his online quizes and extra credits and you will pass with an A.

I like this guy! I thought nutrition would be boring; I actually learned good stuff here, changed the way I eat and am losing weight. Tests are multiple choice, and there's a diet analysis project you do for yourself. He's good about adding extra credit projects to boost the grade. Final is open book.

This Professor is my all time favorite. He is professional, hilarious, down to earth, approachable, extremely knowledgable about nutrition, and has enthusiasm! He makes what could be the most boring lecture entertaining with stories (sometimes almost completely irrelevant) but it still helps you remember. It was a GREAT class. Definitley take him!

Best professor EVER !!! If I ,ESL student could pass this class with an "A" you will do that even easier. Just do everything on time, and you will be fine. Highly recommended !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Valeriy Y. SCC, Fall 2008)

Dr. P is the best. If more professors were like him, the entertainment industry would be in big trouble. Don't take anyone else for nutrition. Viva Polagruto!! You will learn a lot. Keep up on the reading, take good notes, and do the online quizzes...it's information you can really use.

I've been at SCC for 2 years and in that time i have never had a professor who was so entertaining and funny than Dr. P. more than any he made me look forward to going to his class, a great professor and full of a lot of interesting information, the work is fairly easy, the diet project can be a pain! just give yourself plenty of time, unlike me

DrP is awesome! He's so knowledgable and super entertaining. I wish more teachers were like him! His assignments are there to help you not just keep you busy. Just do the online quizzes and it will certainly help you on the tests.

he is super, just do your online quizzes that's where 90% of test comes from,,he is very nice and easy if you study,,,

BEST PROFESSOR BY FAR! great personality. loves what he teaches. is very knowledgable and if he doesnt know the answer he'll say, you know what, i dont know but ill look that up. just do your online quizes. you'll see those questions on the test. diet project is simple. give yourself time. awesome class!! dont take anyone else for nutrition!

LOVED Dr. P, loved his class. I desperately wish he taught others! This class cemented my decision to be a nutrition major. He made it easy and interesting; it's by far the most enjoyable class you'll ever take! You cannot go wrong with Dr. P.

No comments

Very knowledgeable teacher.He makes it very interesting, You can not get bored in his class.You will learn so much about health and nutrition.

Professor Polagruto is an amazing instructor. I found the tests pretty difficult but he offers a ton of extra credit so I was still able to earn an A. He made the material easy to understand and offered great resources to study for tests. There were a lot of tests...6 total throughout the semester which totalled about one every other week.

The use of D2L with being able to redo your homework and quizzes numerous times really made it easy to be prepared for the test. There is a lot of GREAT information in the book and Nutrition is one of the few classes where I use my knowledge on a daily basis. John is HILARIOUS and he will keep you entertained. I loved coming to class!!!

took him 2 times. he loves harry potter. a lot of notes. but he tells you what you need n dont need. notes online. easy to distract him. and cracks jokes. ima miss his funny voice. overall B

alot of lecutre... but classs is very easy .. just got to do study guide should be able to pass class easily. notes are available online. teacher is funny and jokes around

Polagruto is amazing! DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. He's very understanding and entertaining and HILARIOUS. He provides his powerpoints and other notes online. Tests are a bit hard, but he gives you study guides. DO THE QUIZZES, they help you with the test and build up to help give you your A! :D Yay Polagruto!

EASY A. LATER IN THE SEMESTER HE FORGOT TO PASS OUT THE ATTENDANCE SHEET, SO ATTENDANCE WASN'T MANDATORY TOWARDS THE END. ALL HIS LECTURES ARE ONLINE ANYWAYS. LETS YOU MAKE UP MULTIPLE TESTS EVEN THOUGH SYLLABUS SAYS ONLY 1. GREAT CLASS

He's hilarious to me!!this is a east class, I should have got an A but I focused on my other classes and neglected this one.But I still passed. So take this class, its easy

THIS CLASS IS INTERESTING. HE IS FUNNY, AND SOMETIMES HE SHOWS VIDEOS IN THE BEGINNING IF YOU COME IN EARLY. HE IS AN INTERESTING TEACHER. HE MAKE A TOPIC INTERESTING. I RECOMMEND TAKING HIM IF YOU NEED NUTRITION

Nice,funny.. a lot of notes. H/w quizs online..helps a little..but the TESTS!!!...OMG =O kinda hard )= Good luck!

I enjoyed his class, his exams are hard if you don't do the online quiz prior to taking the exam. Pretty laid back professor, funny, and understandble. He gave a lot of opportunities for the slackes... Overall fun professor.

Hilarious teacher and makes the class a little more fun even tho it's all lecture. I'm a major slacker & didn't go to class much at alllll and I have an A. I've learned a lot, toooo. His tests aren't hard if you know the basic principles of each chapter and if you do the mini quizzes before online. The diet project is easy& informative! great prof!

This guy is seriously the best professor I've ever had. By no means easy, but he will help you if you need it. Take his class, you won't regret it!!!

Great professor!Very funny! Do all the work assigned, online quizzes(10 tries for the highest grade in addition to using his study guides and you will do great! FYI- He will drop students if you: GHOST his class.

This is my 2nd class I've taken with Polagruto and he is my FAVORITE teacher everrrrr!!! He is Cosmo Kramer inside of George Costanza's body, but extremely knowledgeable & supeerrr funny!

He is very animated. talks fast sometimes and lectures are never boring! There is ALLOT of information to absorb so PAY ATTENTION!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the professor and the class. He is so funny and makes the already interesting subject very entertaining. He provides study guides for the tests which are VERY helpful. My only regret is that I took his summer course and not full term. Take this class, you will love it! He is by far my favorite professor!

Great professor. Made lecture interesting. He's hilarious too!

My favorite teacher I have had in college by far! He is amazing and so funny and entertaining as well as making the subject matter interesting and clear. Highly recommended!!!

awesome teacher! very funny and he uses this in his lectures. very helpful and understanding.

Easily one of the best instructors I've ever had. He is very up to date and highly organized. He sends email notices to remind us of important assignments and due dates. He also grades tests EXTREMELY fast (finishes grading on same exam day!) Very helpful and knowledgeable. Just pay attention and study the reviews/quizzes and you'll do just fine!

Great teacher! very clear and helpful. On tests offers extra credit problems, quizzes are online and hes so energetic and funny ! hes the best

You will never forget this professor. He has a hilarious voice which will keep you entertained throughout the class period. Quite nerdy as he frequently makes references to harry potter, lord of the rings etc. but that's what makes him so entertaining. The topic itself may not be of interest to you, but the teacher will make up for that. Easy A.

this prof. is amazing! he really should be at a university. he knows his sh*t and understands the direction that the field is heading. his lectures are extremely entertaining and it is more than obvious that he has a passion for what his profession is about. TAKE THE CLASS!!!

Dr.P is the best!!! Really enjoyed his class!!

Excellent professor! He has the greatest sense of humor anyone could ever imagine while at the same time making the lectures very interesting. Very lenient and understandable. This class can truly open your eyes to the world of nutrition, especially the diet project that will show all of your nutritional patterns!

Good Teacher, funny, very animated, but extremely smart. We used the book, D2L and had to buy software :-( only used it for 2 assignments.

AMAZING! He is an great professor, he really gives you a million chances to pass his class with a great grade. If you want a professor that actually teaches and has a sense of humor take his class!

Dr. Polagruto is AWESOME! He knows his stuff and knows how to get his students to understand it. He's super animated and he uses that about himself to act out his lessons (if that makes sense), which makes it easy to understand and REMEMBER his lessons. I LOVED HIS CLASS!

Dr. P's class was AMAZING! This guy LOVES his job. He's so funny, and teaches so well. This class is easy but very educational too! I would advise everyone to take a nutrition class and MAKE SURE it's with Dr. P! You won't regret it at all! I wish he taught all subjects, haha!

Great teacher! Makes everything interesting! I'd take his class again! Highly recommending this class to all my friends!

John is definitely one of my absolute favourite teachers at Sac City. He is hilarious, which makes class very enjoyable. He really knows his stuff, and his test are very straightforward with everything directly from his power points. I want to take more classes from him even if I don't need them! Definitely take his nutrition 300 class.

He is an awesome teacher! class is fun and very interesting! tests are not too hard if you studied for them. a lot of new information, and professor is amazing! Come, take notes, remember and you will be fine! HIGHLY recommended class and teacher!!!

This class was fun and pretty easy! As easy as it was you still do learn a lot about cultures. Professor Polagruto can be a bit odd but it's quite funny. Once you do your presentation you pretty much just attend class to watch other people present and you get to eat every week :D he gives out short 5 point quizzes online and three exams, all easy.

learned so much from his class! he surely knows his subject matter really well :)

He's a nice and funny guy who can tend to get off topic sometime, but he really knows his stuff. Most of the things you learn are from his lectures and power points. I never really needed the book. Do the online quizzes, the project and practice for the tests and you will do great!

I highly recommend Dr. P. Very smart guy who obviously knows what he's talking about, and loves teaching, which is what you want. He's very funny, down to earth, and makes this class interesting. I wish all teachers were like him. This is the teacher you want for Nutrition 300!

I learned so much and I WANTED to study - for myself and for him. He works so hard at teaching and I had as much fun as he did. He gives you lots of tools to help you learn the material so I always felt prepared. I wish I could take him again.

Hands down my favorite professor this semester! Makes Nutrition 300 so interesting and fun. He has quirky nerd jokes I get and he relates himself with his students. SUPERBLY smart and educated. TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU NEED NUTR 300. Makes it so interesing, you will want to learn more and more! Online quizzes, inclass scantron tests,and lectures. easy

Love him. HE IS VERY INTERGETIC. HE LOVES WHAT HE IS TEACHING. AND HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. ATTENDANCE ISNT MANDATORY BUT WHEN YOUR IN HIS CLASS IT MAKES YOU WANT TO GO. LECTURES ARE ALWAYS INTRESTING. I DIDNT BUY THE BOOK DIDNT NEED TO ALL EXAMS ARE ON HIS LECTURES. IS YOUR TAKING NUTR 300 TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT

Awesome professor! Super easy and fair class. Attend lectures, take decent notes or copy his Powerpoint slides, do the study guides and prepare for 2-3 hours before each exam and you an expect an A. Students ask all sorts of stupid questions and he is still really patient. Knows a lot about current topics in nutrition. Great guy!

Professor P. is a very, very, very entertaining and passionate professor. He'll go off topic a lot but that's okay because 98% of the time, it's something interesting to hear. Grades depend on quizzes, tests, and a diet project. Easy stuff if you listen and follow directions well. I loved his class and will definitely miss his lectures.

This class was really fun! He always talked about the most random things, but that's okay. Not a lot of homework, good amount of reading time to time. However, the tests were pretty hard for me. Attendance is extra credit. & he said it himself, we don't need a book to pass, you can rent it at the library lol.

Awesome professor! I will definitely miss his class. He was hilarious, would love to take him again.

Proffesor P was awsome. He is a great person and really makes you want to be in class and learn. Unfortunatley I didnt grasp the curriculum as well as I would have liked but thats my fault. He is extremly helpful and understanding. He makes nutrition interesting to learn. Not to mention he is totally nerdy and links alot to many fandoms ^.^.

Mr. P was very helpful and approachable with any and all questions. He is hilarious and makes the lectures easy to understand and remember. Prepare with the study guides he gives and expect an A. Tons of opportunities for extra credit. Definitely will miss this class!

Took his class this spring and I went to every lecture and didn't miss one day! Go TO CLASS HE GOES OVER ALL THE MATERIAL FOR TEST! PLEASE GO THROUGH THE STUDY GUIDE! I didn't study for the first test and I FAILED IT. The other three I studied really hard using the study guide and lecture notes and I passed those 3 with A's! Do project! Take notes!

Awesome professor, 5 tests and 15 online quizzes , 1 project Really caring and response to email quickly off topic sometimes thou

Professor Polagruto is a true expert in Nutrition. I bought the book which was very expensive, but I am acing every single exam. His lectures are amazing because if you pay attention he covers all the material!! Just take notes and do the study guides and you will be solid in that class. Professor Polagruto is a very humble and caring man.

Mr.P is such a funny, entertaining professor! I really enjoyed his class and was actually sad when the semester ended. I super advise you go to the lectures, alot of the material he explains himself will be on your exams.

Best professor I had period! Awesome guy and hilarious. Always was very helpful. Would love to take again for another class!

Outstanding teacher! Attendance is not necessary but it really helps to be there for the lectures. Online quizzes for every chapter (like 5 questions each or 17ish chapters). Very straight forward and relatable guy. Would definitely recommend anyone even slightly interested to take it.

Exams are easy if you follow the instructions :) Read his notes and book. Easy A

lOVED HIM best class ever! Super funny,helpful,clear and willingly to help students. You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches and loves his students! I would take this class everyday if I could.

If nerdy reference after nerdy reference keeps you engaged he's the prof for you! He can gets distracted at times, but I've yet to see a more lenient and openly kind prof. All attendance is marked as extra credit. Easy A if you show up, take notes and look at them before each of the 4-5 tests, all of which have the chance for lot's of extra credit.

One of the Best Human being i have seen so far. Super energetic, friendly, and intelligent prof. you will never get bored in his class. his classes are full of Fun and joy. The tests, lectures, and projects are realllllyyyy easy. Make sure you dont miss a class, take notes, and you will get your A easy. Overall the Best professor.

His lectures are awesome ! He is very educated in what he teaches. He also makes lecture enjoyable. I completed this class with an A while taking two other classes during the second half of my pregnancy, dealing with a crazy busy life. If you show up everyday for lecture and review your notes, this should be an easy class for you !

Really reasonable. Do need to study to get a good grade. Can sometimes get off task.

This was an awesome class. The professor is super easygoing, it's easy to receive a good grade. No stressing out. There are online quizzes, 4 tests, diet project, and exam. Take his class, you won't regret it!

Easy class, great teacher, do the study guides and you'll get an A.

The best Professor I've had, yet. I've Recommend this guy to everyone!

He's a funny guy who has interesting lectures. Do the study guides and the exams shouldn't be a problem. He gives online quizzes and two projects. Take him, you won't regret it.

DR P. IS AMAZING!!!! He is hilarious and super knowledgeable! His lectures are clear and just down right fun. There are four tests and he gives really great study guides two weeks before hand. All the quizzes are online and he gives a ton of extra credit. There was one project assigned that was super simple. Easy A! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

Really easy class. Gives study guides. Lectures can get pretty boring, so I literally watched The Office during class. Gives extra credit for attendance. Easy A.

He tries to make the class as less expensive as he can. He uses an online book and quizzes are online but the exams are at class time.

He doesn't make nutrition boring. He helps you remember important things.

John is such an outgoing funny professor! He gives out good study guides that if you use , you will ace the class! Hes also very lenient in grading and helps out his students a lot!

John is super awesome. You should Always show up for class (he gives extra credit for showing up to class). His class is super easy if you pay attention in class and take notes. Powerpoint is not up to day, but you get the knowledge/point. Always do his study sheets!

Gives lots of extra credit points, frequently goes off topic with funny stories. To get an A on test, must attend class and take good notes off lecture, do not need to read online textbook, although its a good reinforcement for studying.

Prof. Polagruto is awesome! He knows how to entertain you while teaching. His class was fun to attend, and I also learned a lot. He has a great sense of humor and is very down to earth, gives lots of extra credit, which you won't need if you just show up to class and listen to his interesting lectures.

Great professor. I always looked forward to going to class. His lectures were never boring and overall it was an interesting class. There are online homework quizzes on Canvas and four exams total. There is also a diet project which is very easy and straightforward. Highly highly recommend!! Easy A. Ended with over 100% in the class.

Best professor ever. His lectures are never boring and everything is very straightforward. What he teaches in class is what he tests you on. Attendance is extra credit, always do the online homework quizzes (you get 3 tries!) and listen to lectures. Very Easy A!

Great professor overall! The class is completely based on him lecturing off powerpoints and it does get boring sometimes but he engages with his students and is enthusiastic. Not a lot of homework, just mainly quizzes. Tests arent difficult if you do the study guides before every exam. Do the work, take notes, and youll pass!

He's pretty cool. Makes the class laugh. It's hard to fail his class. Extra credit for attendance and extra credit on midterms. Gives you a study guide for the midterms, study that then it's an easy A. One diet project and it is very simple. TAKE HIM AND YOU'LL PASS!

I wish I could take Dr. P for all my classes! If you can't pass his class its on you. He is very accommodating , flexible and gives out a good amount of extra credit.

Dr. P is a good professor. Lectures are and can be a little boring but he tries to make them as interesting as possible. Attendance is mandatory if you want to pass but he doesn't take it often. He can get sidetracked a little bit but he's a great dude.

This is one of my favorite professors ever. Getting a good grade is easy if you just do your homework by when it's due and read/listen to the lectures every week. There are plenty of extra credit opportunities, and he is very flexible when it comes to assignments. So your grade really reflects on how much effort you put in. He's also very funny.

A good man and a wonderful professor. I didn't get an A but that was my fault not his. Go to class, take the notes, do the hw, study study for the tests and you'll be fine. And always check canvas

Sooo easy! Would def take again! Class was full and the waiting list was full as well! Tells you what kind of teacher he is! Great class, book is online so you dont even have to buy it. Really easy class! I got a 101% in the class

took online, take it do the discussion boards quiz, assignments you'll pass. work is easy straight forward.

The way Professor Polagruto teaches is so entertaining, you can tell that he loves teaching nutrition and he is very passionate about it! His class is easy if you go to class, take notes and study them for the exams! Pretty simple, if you have the chance to take this class do it!!

He himself is just a really funny person and it carries over into his teaching style and lectures, which was great because it made my mornings bearable and funny. He is super nice and understanding and will do his best to help you pass. He also mentions how great his cats are about 1000x times.

One of the funniest Professors Ive ever had, he makes the lecture really engaging and you learn a lot from it, attendance is not mandatory but can receive extra credit for just being in the class. Test are mostly all online except for midterms. Overall the class was very enjoyable

John was great! I took him for an online class that was split between two lecturers and had him for the first half. Very clear DB's related to fitness and your lifestyle. Quizzes that you have 3 attempts to take, as well as a midterm and final plus a diet project. Loved how he personally replied back to ALL students, so personable, take him!

Dr. P is hilarious, hes a great teacher and loves to joke around during all of his lectures. If you study well and pass the exams/quizzes you should have an easy A, theres a lot of discussions and a diet project at the end of the semester which is relatively easy.

Professor John Polagruto is one of my favorite teacher. He always make jokes in the lesson but that make me remember key idea. He make this class very easy to pass but if you put little more effort then also very easy to get A since his exam are very straightforward. I think I got so much from this class. Textbook is free and his note is useful.

4 tests and a final, he posts his lecture slides online as well as a video of himself lecturing while looking at the slides. There are discussions, but they're easy/straight forward. He responds to emails fast. You can tell he is caring and gives students lots of time to do the work. Easy class, and you learn a lot.

Literally the best professor Ive ever had. He explains things so simply and well, and also cares a lot about his students. He's always open and willing to help and isn't intimidating at all. Stop looking for other nutrition teacher ratings and take his class bc u wont regret it.

He's the professor you want to take for nutrition! He goes over all the importance. All his quizzes were easy, he gives you multiple chances. You should get an A in his class because everything is nice a clear about what he expects from his students!

The BEST professor! Very clear lectures, dont even need a textbook. 20 point quizzes that he gives multiple chances to take/get higher score. Sends email updates and reminders and really knows how to use Canvas seamlessly. Quick grader! You can tell hes very passionate about what he does and wants his students to pass. Great sense of humor too!

Prof. Polagruto is Hil-Lar-E-US. He makes his class fun and engaging, the material is easy to understand, Be sure to actively learn what he teaches you because you're going to need it in your BIOL and CHEM class if you're going into medical/ health.

He is very funny and the lecture videos/notes are interesting! If you study the notes you can easily pass the quizzes. He responds right away to emails etc. His examples are relatable and he makes jokes to keep you hooked. Uses a lot of visuals, videos, charts, lectures that made it super easy for me to pass. Highly recommend him!

Polagruto is a real gem! His class is super easy. He gives you an online textbook but we don't use it. He records his lecture notes, has powerpoints, and has the pdf form of the notes so everyone has something for their learning preferences. There's no final all his assignments are OPEN NOTES. He wants you to pass his class.

He's great! He posts recorded lectures for each chapter and additional youtube videos. The weekly quizzes are really easy and he gives you multiple chances to get the best grade. No midterms or final.

Easy A. All the assignments are straightforward. No exams just 20-25 question quizzes. Weekly discussion board.

Professor Polagruto is awesome. He really has a creative way of teaching and makes the material interesting and understandable. He's got LOTS OF ENERGY and a great sense of humor. He uses his chalkboard a lot so note taking is easy. The material can get complicated but he does a great job of guiding students along. Very accessible and caring

Professor. Polagruto class was something just for a GPA boost but I learned a lot from his 10-15 minute presentations there not boring I think there funny actually but watching that doing the quizzes and watching a couple of youtube videos he provides its a breeze not hard at all.

Recorded lectures are amazing, he has great energy! I loved this class and would for sure take it again. Also, he gives feedback on tests when you take them the first time to improve on your next attempts!

His directions were clear and detailed. If you have questions, just reach out and he will be happy to clarify. His lectures are short and to the point. Would reccomend

This was a fun class. I learn so much about fitness even though it was not my major. The teacher gives really good feedback and I love it. The teacher is so personal that I feel like if you meet him in person you can easily communicate with him. As long as you follow the assignment step by step you can pass with an A.

You can really tell this teacher wants his students to do well. He gives 3-4 assignments every week, with 1-2 quizzes, no final(just a diet project), and loads of extra credit. Overall a great class!

One of the best professors Ive ever had. If you do the work, itll be an EASY A. Weekly quizzes (15-30 questions), diet project (which is your final) and no exams! All quizzes are open note and book. His lectures are very helpful. He really wants his students to succeed and I respect him for that!

He's a really a good professor. You have a diet project that is like a final but you start it in the beginning of the semester. All the answers to quizzes is on the slide shows.

He's a really nice professor who gave us many chances to take a quiz so we could get the best score we could. It was online so it had many video lectures, that were funny. He's honest and really cares about his students. Amazing class + professor !

He is an amazing professor! I took his nutr 300 asynch class and it was fairly easy to follow along. He made written and video overviews of what each week would look like and what assignments you need to get done. Everything is due on Sunday night. He gives out 1 or 2 discussions posts, 1 worksheet and 1 quiz for each chapter which is every week.

He is one of the best professors ive had! Easy weekly discussion board and quiz all answers on quizlet. No final or exams at all only a diet project you work on throughout the year which is super easy! He provides extra credit and you will actually learn something. If your looking for a cool laid back prof. with a light work load TAKE THIS CLASS!

He was a very knowledgeable professor, and clearly cared about his students. He also tries his best to explain everything in his lectures. Also, class wasn't difficult because we had multiple tries on each quiz (open-note). Many answers are on quizlet in case you need help. He is funny, and recorded vibrant lectures. Only difficulty: science-heavy.

Mr. p is soo funny he doesn't make the class boring it's actually fun. He gives a lot of extra credit you can easily pass his class with an A or B. I would take him again great professor.

Take his class, he's incredible and I always chuckle during his online lectures.

I would take this class again, make sure to stay on top of your app and nutrition diary so you wont fall behind. 3-4 hours a week tops and you'll pass. Grades fairly easy, looks to see you know material, understanding but wont chase you to turn things in.

Dr. Polagruto is a great professor. The lectures are always engaging, and the workload is manageable. There is lots of extra credit, one easy project, weekly quizzes, weekly discussion boards, and occasional exams. This class is virtually impossible to fail unless you are missing assignments consistently. I finished with over 100%.

One of the best professors I have ever had! Weekly quizzes (unlimited time with 2-3 tries), discussion boards, and one diet project that is spread out in parts with easy extra credit opportunities. No tests! Prof. P makes short, yet funny lecture videos that make topics easy to understand. Grades assignments quickly. Can pass with over 100% easily!

this professor is funny, and his work is straight up, watch lecture do quiz. pretty easy i would say especially if ur doing it online. i would recommend him!

Great Teacher Take his class

Professor Polagruto makes this class fun and easy. With weekly quizzes, discussion boards, and a simple project, you can get an A without much effort. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for quiz prep!

I don't think I ever been in a class where I was very focused an entertained, professor makes the class fun, if i could i would take his class again.

Took this class for my major with John. Very outgoing and memorable. Easy work, and what he teaches is overall good information about nutrition that can be applied to everyday life.

Prof Polagruto was an amazing and caring professor. Very knowledgeable on nutrition. Gave extra cred & free online textbook but quizzes were primarily based on his short lecture videos, slides, and media. Usually a quiz and a few disc boards every wk. One project w multiple parts using Cronometer. Very accessible by email, helps students to succeed

Professor Polagruto is genuinely the best prof I have ever had. His class was lecture heavy, but I learned a lot because he explains things well and has funny stories that go with it. Exams were easy because you just have to pay attention to the lecture notes. He's really funny and outgoing.

Genuine and great guy. Lectures keep you awake and he actually cares. Best professor I've had so far.

Professor Polagruto is the GOAT. He loves engaging in with his class via discussions but his replies are awesome! Not homework heavy, only about 3 assignments a week (2 discussions and 1 quiz), but very lecture heavy! He provides powerpoints that we can go through during video lectures. Would recommend broad knowledge of chem and bio OR food sci.

One of the best professors I've had! He's hilarious, always gives helpful feedback, and makes lectures fun and informative. Grading is clear, and there are chances for extra credit. I learned a lot and would definitely take his class again without hesitation.

He is good professor, and he is trying to help students a lot.

He is a very lovable, caring, and hilarious professor. He is flexible/understanding with absences, late assignments, and taught lectures in such a way that he just made them easy to understand. His assignments were mostly easy projects, and all quizzes and exams were done online and open note. Would def take again just to hear him joke around!

Funny lectures, keeps you awake rather than just reading from a book like most professors. Lots of extra credit opportunities and leaves good feedback on work. Not much bad to say about this professor, he's great!

The best professor ever I love his class, never had any problem with his class not even a singal time. If you want to study and take it easy at the same time and stress free class he is the best professor for you he'll make that happen.

Professor Polagurto is a great communicator, vastley knowlagable about nutrition, and a fun lecturer. Just come to class and take notes and you should do fine. He seems to understand his students very well and he also shares a lot of extra articles and info on canvas.

This is honestly my favorite professor I have ever had. He has a great sense of humor when he does his lectures and actually seems like he enjoys teaching. His grading is great and his homework assignments aren't hard. He doesn't do any exams just quizzes taken on canvas. You do discussion posts a lot and homework but they are super easy.

For someone who has never taken a college class before, I was blown away by how caring Professor Polagruto is. He genuinely loves what he does and gives his 110% to ensure his students understand the material. Lectures are fantastic and those should be enough to get you through the class. Highly recommend this class and 100% I'd take it again!

He's a great professor and puts in so much effort to all of his lectures. The material is easy to understand along with the extra notes provided. He also gives a lot of extra articles and info on canvas weekly. He is extremely easy to reach and responds very quickly.
