Very very easy and fun class
take it
pretty hard, i didn't really get the point of the class, but anyway it's a GE
The best professor I have ever seen in my life
Applegate's class is fun, exciting and easy.. great class to take...............
Memorize everything, you'll get an A. Final is harder than MTs.
if you take the class Pass/No Pass, it is a piece of cake
kissing up to the TA's is crucial for your chances to get a good grade

A GE course that is required, but messes up your GPA.take it PASS/NO PASS!!!!!!!
difficult exams/readings. A course I DO NO recommend for you to take.
mid-terms and exams are painful; the prof. does not teach very well
hard class... taking another elective is recommended
nothing too special or worthwhile to take
Marry me, please!!!
Applegate! Applegate! Should have her own soap opera: The young and the wise
so easy, it doesn't seem real
For GE requirements, this class is the way to go. easy A
systematic studying and dedication will get you the golden prize: An A
easy A and you learn useful practical info. those who said it's hard are idiots
very easy electives. the best course to take for your GE requirement
show up, get an A
LOUSY PROFESSOR
virtually impossible exams; not an easy class by any means
ridiculous in difficulty; taking another science class is highly suggested
I don't know what people are talking about. Take notes, study a little, get an A
very very hard class; take another class
getting an A is very very difficult to do
Such a funny and helpful teacher!
nearly impossible class
class is difficult; tests are impossible as well
a very very hard, complicated course; not recommended at all
weird but kool teach.
simply the worst class to take; those who say its easy are not the majority
very very difficult professor whose class is hard and does not teach well
simplt the hardest and the worst

These people are bitter because they forgot to go to class. Her class is easy, and even interesting. She knows what she's talking about, and how to explain it well. Great elective class.

Good professor - she is able to handle a huge class well. A bit hard to talk to out of class though - she's a little condescending to students.
Super easy class. I wish I had taken it freshman year--my eating habits the past 3 years would have been MUCH better. Class is like free health counseling :)

She is a great Prof, and she is quite hot!
Awesome super interesting classes
Dr. Applegate is my fitness idol!

Awsome professor
those who say it is easy are the few that were able to grasp the material. hard class, stay away; and the teacher is very very very condescending to her students
Excellent teacher, easy class
Classical notes has all her lecture notes, very helpful.
No Comments
so easy, the class was a joke
This is the easiest class ever. Very easy way for people like me who need an easy way to get sci/eng GE credit. She gives you EXACTLY what is going to be on the tests. Diet projects are no big deal and can be done the night before, despite what she says.
great class
Practice exams are practically identical to the real thing super easy class
dont be stupid and think this class is a no-brainer. you DO need to study, but it IS the easiest science class. very fun and interesting class, but dont slack off. STUDY FOR THE TESTS.
This is a great class!
even though the class is already easy, if you have old tests to study off of, it makes the class nearly impossible not to get a solid A in.
Nutrition 10 is a pretty cool class. Memorize material and come to class. It's pretty fun and Applegate's pretty cool.
A wonderful class. Not only does she make the class easy, but she also makes it worth learning. She presents the information in a way that is easy to understand and apply without "dumbing" down the lectures.
Excellent teacher,knows her stuff really well. interesting class, if you go to class you're going to get an A as she tells you exactly whats going to be on the exams!! highly recommend this teacher.
you'll enjoy this class.
very clear in what she expects you to know.. she will tell you exactly what is on the midterms/ final.. knows her stuff well and makes class enjoyable.
This class is great to take because you can apply it to your daily life. Its worthwhile that everyone takes it sometime during their years here. It motivates you to eat right and exercise
I loved this class. Dr. Applegate is definitely inspiring and fun to have. Take this class when you have the chance!
Great
best class/professor ever
Take this class if you can get in. She rocks and it its one of the BEST CLASSES EVER.
She's been one of the best professors next to Dr. Famula (ANS1). Class is fun, lectures are interesting and the information actually applies to your life. I love her!
TA's teach the class, applegate is never there. 3 projects; one 4 page paper (easy), and two 1-2 page papers on articles. easy A class
She's hot and the class is cake... plus you will learn a lot about nutrition and health... the T/A are usually cute too... ;) Jen is hot...
Applegate is cool. She'll tell you what's on the test, HOWEVER, you HAVE to study. You must know your stuff in order to pass the tests. The class is easy, only if you make it that way.
awesome teacher, hot, and very helpful
You have to know a lot for the exams, but they are easy. Do the projects, you either get full credit or you don't. She basically TELLS you what is on the exams. You learn a lot about your health and how to eat right in this class. Highly recommended!
Easy and interesting class. However, she can be a little rude during office hours.
Dr. Applegate is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition & fitness, teaches it well, & makes the subject even more interesting. Study what she tells you are on the tests & you'll do great. One of the best & coolest professors/classes around! A must take!!
She is incredibly knowledged on the subject, tells you what is on the tests, and tells you exactly how to do your diet project. My favorite teacher by far!
If she was younger I would marry her. She is such a tight teacher. Not only is she easy but her whole point of teaching the class is so students can start living a more healthy diet. No homework and midterms and final are easy. Just study old exams.
She is the best teacher ever! Midterms and exams are a bit challenging, but they really help you learn the material. Easy A if you take good notes and look over them before exams...
overrated professor. ta's are muscular women!
Excellent teacher
dr. applegate was such a great professor. she made the class very interesting. the midterms and final are pretty much similar to the old exams so that made it easy.
No Comments
very hot/buff teacher, which was very distracting for me, but she's easy to make up for it. I enjoyed the material and herself. ;)
Learned a lot about nutrition
hot and best teacher on campus, you know what to expect from the lectures/tests and learn for once
AWESOME teacher, AWESOME class. Don't miss it, you learn a lot, and it's not hard at all as long as you go over the book.
great professor, class is very easy. MUST BUY THE BOOK THAT SHE WROTE. you have to use all original copy from the book in the diet project and the extra credit, which means that you cannot sell the book. yea, what a great way to make money off of her students. Acts nice, little fake tho.
great teacher, really great class. the tests are just like the old ones, the class is really interesting. had a really good time going to class (yes that is possible)she's somewhat hot, but really muscular, looks like she can take on a lot of people
Lot of info to learn but she makes it easy with practice tests. As she goes through lectures in class, she tells you what will be on the test: Gives you the exact question she will ask and gives the answer she wants. I learned a lot.
No Comments
Class was great. You always know what to be ready for on the test and most of the things you learn can be applied to daily life. Tests are very fair as long as you make sure to study the reader. I would definantely recommend Dr. Applegate to any student on campus. I actually liked attending lecture.
Good class. She knows her stuff, inside and out. Her website has all the practice tests / old exams. Very organized. Every lecture was interesting. EXCELLENT.
Stay away from this poor excuse for an instructor.
Ok, what aging woman wears a bluejean pantsuit? I dropped this class. The hype she generates about herself far outweighs what she is able to deliver. Is she getting kickbacks from Jamba Juice and the other companies she "teaches" about? Bizarre.
I dont know what you guys are thinking, but she's great. you should take advantage of having someone this great on campus, she's always willing to help you out. she's the nutritionist for the Kings, and she's been on talk shows and stuff, and her classes are interesting!
Great teacher. Pretty HOT!
This is simply the best general ed. class at UC Davis. This awesome class attracts huge numbers each quarter-and has for over 20 years. Just look at her-healthy and fit-she practices what she preaches. Sign up now, before you end up on the wait list. Nut.10 will affect you the rest of your life.
great class...
This class was awesome and professor Applegate is a really great professor. She really simplifies the material so that it is easy to understand and she gives you the anwers to the tests. Easy A if you go to lectures, but even if you don't she lectures straight from the book.
AMAZING. She alone is a testiment that you should eat healthy. She gives you the essay questions for the midterm and final. The topics are really itneresting, but the required(and you really need it for the diet project) is expensive. Take the class, if you can get in
Great class, if you can get into it. The TA's are the best!!!!!
This class has by far changed my daily activities the most (in a positive way). Very interesting, she tells you all the problems on the test and her practice exams nearly are the real tests. Dont miss this class.
easy class, but book is biggest waste of money ever, she requires you to buy a $100 book but everything is in lecuture, yet you need three pages for a diet project, and she wants the original pages, no copies, so you need to buy it, ok class, big waste of money, i was disapointed
She is soooo full of herself. The book is a massive waste of money. Either buy the book and skip lecture or just go to lecture... they are one and the same. So easy and I found it pretty interesting. Lastly, for being 50... I would do her so wrong, she is totally hot for her age.
She's an interesting lecturer, but the class is massively overhyped. The thing I think she could improve on is spending a little more time showing us how to work out the math calculations instead of going over it for five minutes, and then spending a ton of time on the stuff that's already in the book.
Unlike most people, I found the material challenging, but GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS! They practically tell you what's on the test. She is concerned for what you will actually learn, but I agree the class was overhyped and she is slightly full of herself and her guns..I get the feeling she's like look at how great I am at 49! :)
TAKE THIS CLASS! I don't know what some of these other people are talking about. Applegate KNOWS her stuff, and is a very cool prof. The tests are ok if you do the reading and review the lecture. More then anything, the material is VERY informative and will change your lifestyle. Everyone should take this class before they leave Davis.
This class is fun and informative! Applegate knows her stuff well! The midterms contain a lot of details, so studying is a must. Review sessions are helpful since the TA tells you the answer to the bonus question. A highly recommended class and professor!
Her class was EXCELLENT. My only concern is her insistance that we buy BRAND NEW textbooks. She wrote it herself so she's obviously getting all the profit from 600-some students taking her class each quarter. The book isn't even that good (grammatical errors, very basic information, etc) although it DOES help you understand the basics pretty well.
good teacher. plus she's fit
Dr. A is a great teacher! I took her class during SS II, and even though material was compacted into 6 wks, we still learned approx the same material. EXTREMELY organized! Lectures were VERY interesting! fun class! Wish she taught other classes. I'm a girl, but i still think she's quite attractive for her age. Mad props for being so fit!
Most organized class Ive ever had. Class was fast-paced and exams were quite challenging, but there's much xtra credit and opportunities to raise. I got a 80 on the midterm and a 90 on the final and ended up with an A. She seems strict at first, but loves her job and students. Good class to meet chicks. BTW ladies, facebook me, search WOLFMAN. :)
This class is not as easy as every one says but you will learn a lot. Plus, all of the information is useful and applicable to your life. Study sessions are incredibly useful and class can be really fun. Definitely a good class to take before leaving Davis. Put in a little effort and you will likely get an A.

Dr. A. knows what she is talking about. She is very knowledgable and passionate about her class and her students. She is always there to help and gives many extra credit opportunities. Interesting class and I learned alot. Attending lecture is very helpful because she tells you what questions she puts on the exams!
Easy class with a lot of extra credit. Dr. A knows what she's talking about and this class is very beneficial to everyone.
Awesome class, learn a lot of very useful information and she's very enthusiastic, not boring at all. It is a pretty easy class but its not an automatic A, many people were failing going into the final, as long as you attend lecture and study a little before the test you'll be good to go.Was even nice enough to offer an early final as well.
EASY class, she is extremely clear and tells you exactly what to study. She makes nutrition very interesting too.
This class rocks and Dr.A rocks. You will learn so much about nutrition and health, it's totally worth taking and spending time on. The exams can be difficult for studetns without science background, but there is so much extra credit opportunities and a grade boost, the A is practically handed to you if you just take the initiative.
Just because the subject she teaches is easy, she gets very picky on the tests. Even if the answer is CORRECT and shows understand but is NOT word for word, you will get some points taken off. Also, she wrote the book and insists we have to buy it new at the bookstore or we wont get the 20% for the diet project. It's $100 what a rip off.
Her enthusiasm is so appreciated. Her lecture style is awesome for test taking; you will know what is on the test if you attend class. Take this class it may just add years to your life!!!
Everyones says shes this amazing professor, she's not. completely overrated.
This class has completely changed the way I eat and exercise. Thank you Dr. A!
Good class and going to reviews eliminates alot of the need for studying.
Class made me realize what I eat. Easy and fun class as long as you pay attention. Review sessions helped me a great deal.
interesting class. review sessions are very helpful... a must go
I got a C- in the class, she is not as easy as she promised.
you can still get an A or a B without going to lectures if you read the textbook and study.
No Comments
good teaching, and simple easy textbook.. the class is organized and fun, a MUST go to ace for a simple GE course. But, the downfall is...she has a really bad temper and she is super picky about cheating.
very easy class. kind of interesting at times. kind of boring too, because i am a science major, so some of the stuff i already know. she is such an accomplished woman. i admire that. she is VERY PICKY with cheating. does EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to avoid it. her TAs are amazing. they are super super nice.
Book costs $80 and can not be sold or bought used. Excuse sounds like something written by a beltway spin doctor. Unnecessary waste of money, trees, energy, etc. Sell the fill-in sheets separately at the bookstore and spare the trees.
Very straight forward, fun professor. Practically spoon feeds you what is going to be on tests with many opportunities for EC. Heavy text book use, you can't literally cannot pass the class without it. As far as attendance, she does podcasts with are convieniet so if you ust miss a class, its on her website. Overall, wonderful class, highly approve
She is SUPER picky on cheating! Wow I nearly had a heart attack during the exams...the freakin TAs kept walking up and down the isles like FBI agents! It was a miracle that I actually focused! Ha other than that super easy class, fun teacher (i love her she is so cute!!)
not as easy as everyone claims but if you listen to lecture and reviews, youll be prepared for exams. teacher is a bit scary to approach.
Fun class! This is a class where you can actually apply what you're learning to your diet and exercise routine. I'm a science major and I studied a day or two before each test and I did very well. You'll do well if you're good at memorizing things!
Its a fun class and easy enough. Of course its easy, she wants people to tell their friends to take it. And she lets hundreds of people off the waitlist because then all of them will have to buy a brand-new copy of her book. The class is useful but for her its just a business.
AMAZING CLASS! she has ample time to chat in office hours, too.
Awesome class. I think it should be a mandatory general ed. class. You learn so much about your body and what you need to do to be more healthy and to change your lifestyle and eating habits. I will now probably live a longer and healthier life because of taking this class.
This class was absolutely amazing. Dr. Applegate has changed my entire perspective on foods. She is an amazing woman, who is also SOO BEAUTIFUL. I mean, she's 51, people! 51! But anyway, go to chalktalks - they literally give you all the answers on the tests. I studied the day before every exam and got over 100% on each one. YOU'LL LOVE THIS CLASS!
She is a great lecturer and if you go to chalk talk they basically go over the entire final!!!
The only problem that I have with this class is the mandatory new textbook. It seems that she could make a separate book with just the chapter quizzes and the diet project so that people could actually sell back her 70$ book. Othere than that, the class was fine, the expectations are clearly laid out.
This class is a joke. Easiest class ever. Attendance is useless because she repeats EVERYTHING from her textbook she wrote herself. She babies you through everything, breaks things down to the simplest degree. Easy A. About a third of the crap found in her practice exams are regurgitataed back in the midterms and finals. GPA booster.
She is a wonderful professor and I can't wait until I take another one of her classes!! The information was extremely interesting and I enjoyed her teaching style!!!
I recommend this class to anyone who is thinking about going into a medical major, or for people who want to add an easy class to their schedules. You get two chances to do well on the class project, and you will get several test answers at review sessions. I really think that the only way not to do well in this class is to actually try to fail!
I loved this class. Dr. Applegate is an excellent lecturer and is a testament to great nutrition (she looks great). So what if she requires you to buy her book new? At least it's not a $200 book like with some classes. The reason the book is required to be new is to deter cheating, so people don't just photocopy someone else's diet project.
class is fun,learn alot about how to stay & be healthy,if u miss class,u can rely on podcasts. read the text ahead of time so u wont be lost on what she's talking about. just keep up w/ reading n studying n you'll do just fine midterms & finals are easy simliar to the practice ones. doing diet project u learn bout your body. great way to BOOST GPA
Easiest class on the face of the planet. Plus, she's babe-tastic.
Not as easy as people said!This's how you ace the class: study the practice exam(2/3 in the actual tests),go to review session&Chalktalk,study the study guide.Chalktalk is extremely helpful,you'll get the exact short questions on the exam.Diet Project's super easy,just some basic calculation and there's a grade boost if you do the chapter quizzes.

Great class. Interesting, fun and informative. The only way to "not understand" (as stated by some people) is to not show up and/or sleep. Seriously, how could THIS class be considered difficult? Change the way you look at food (and yourself) and take the class.
A truly live changing course. Professor is engaging and inspirational. The course is perfectly structured (except for some poorly worded exam questions), and although you need to put some time into the class, if you do, its hard not to get an A. Most questions word for word from practice exams.
Most Awesome teacher in the world, Nut 10 is the easiest most informative class at Davis. She really wants all of us to get the big picture instead of us memorizing obscure details. Definite recommend to everybody
Dr. Applegate is a fantastic professor. However, this class is not "the walk in the park" most percieve it to be. In order to score well on exams you MUST attend the review sessions. Her lectures are rather outstanding, but can be dull at times. She's quite approachable, as are her T.A.s. I highly recommend this class. GET YOUR FIBER!
Dr. Applegate is perhaps one of the best professors I've had at UCD. She is extremely articulate when lecturing, which makes it easy for the class to understand the material. Exams are fairly easy if you pay attention in class and skim over the textbook. Definitely take this class if you get a chance!
Attend class and review sessions. Exams aren't difficult if you study. Great professor, really cares that you learn and is enthusiastic about teaching.
shes really nice.
excellent, really knows her stuff; good dresser
Extremely useful and easy class. Just go to lecture, read the book, and do the extra credit and you'll get a solid A without having to worry about the final (i needed a 61% on the final to get an A in the class). powerpoints are engaging and the professor teaches really well. i would highly recommend this professor!
I loved the material for this class and she's very enthusiastic. After the first midterm, I realized I didnt need to attend class since I'd forget the details afterward. GO TO chalk talks and the review sessions! They go through everything. Also, do your homework and diet project ahead of time! The class is tedious, but it's a straightfoward A.
Smart, proud, and confident teacher. And knows how to make money; you have to buy the book, basically just for the homework pages, which I find ridiculous, but they take cheating seriously. When taking the exam, at least 10 TAs roam around everywhere, like FBI agents. Scary atmosphere. Material is easy so just study and go to review session.
The class is not bad. Only problem is the fact that you cannot resell the book. I do not see how cheating factors into mandating students to buying it brand new. Found this. http://daviswiki.org/Nutrition_10
awesome!
Good teacher. Interesting class. I went to all lectures, study mainly on old exams and got A+. This is the best class ever! One of the very few class that did not make me fell asleep ^^
amazing
Awesome teacher strongly recommended! very interesting in lecture and really learn a lot. keep u awake and easy grading
Not sure why this class is so popular, other than its the easiest A out there... the text book is a complete scam, and I had a hard time staying awake. If you want an *amazing* prof/class, take ANS1 with Famula.
Everything you've heard is true. This class is easy and incredibly interesting and practical. Make sure Liz is lecturing, you don't want to miss out. Tons of extra credit, straightforward tests with very revealing reviews. Go to lecture and bring your book, she'll go over all you need to know. Really. Take the class, even if you don't need to.
This class is the easiest class I've taken in my 5 years at this school. Seriously, anything below an A is a fail. The questions for the midterms are straight from the book and the practice exams. She tells you what questions she'll ask on the midterms. I never showed up to lecture, except the 1st day, and still ended up with a solid A.
a rip off of a class to take! must but $100+ "book" for few pages to be ripped out and turned in. very anal with EVERYTHING and will consider 5 mins before "late" as late, so turn those whatever projects in early or she'll get in your face about it and not accept it. for a supposed to be easy class, she tries to do too much and is very annoying.
This class is one of the easiest classes ever. I went to class three times, midterm 1, 2, and the final. The material is interesting so studying the night before is all you need to do. I got low B's on all the tests and with all the extra credit that was available I got a solid A.
THE BEST! !! ! TAKE NUT 10! ! ! ! ! !
I don't see what all the hype is about with this class. It is easy so long as you go to chalk talks but it really isn't that cool. Want an awesome GE class? Take FST3 with Bamforth (beer brewing). Much easier and much more entertaining.
Interesting class. Pretty easy with 2 midterms, 1 final, and 1 project. Follow lectures with textbook and do the chapter quizzes which she gives you extra credit for. Has many extra credit opportunities, so very easy to get an A. Gives 2 chances to pass project. Most questions on tests are from chapter quizzes or she gives to you in lecture.
Very Very Very easy class!! Make sure you go to class and do all the extra credit. With just a little bit of studying you will get a A (or even A+). The stuff you learned in this class is very useful in real life!
Teacher is amazing! She's easy to listen to, and doesn't like to get into depth when not neccessary. Take this class. It's super easy and a great GPA boost.
Do NOT take this class it is not an easy class like everyone says it is. The midterms are hard and the questions are unclear
I have never met Dr. Applegate. She never lectured in class. I have taken Nutrition 11 which was taught by the TA. I had Anthony Thomas as my TA. He is awesome! Very friendly guy. He is helpful in office hours. Fun class. All you got to do research and read articles and write papers. There are two oral presentations. No exams. Easy 2 units course.
Very easy class. You have a term diet project that takes forever but if you do it & turn it in on-time, you get full credit. She explains everything you need to know in class but you don't have to go to class because her textbook is very thorough. Lots of opportunities for extra credit and help from the TAs. Have to buy a new book though, it's $80.
TOO MUCH WORK for a 2UNIT course. You have to write a research paper at the end which the TA's too harshly grade. They take it way too seriously and the TA's honestly dont help at all. TAKE NUT010 NOT 011!
You have to work harder to fail this class than you do to pass it. Just go to class and do the chapter quizzes. She tells you what will be on the exams. She is super approachable and it is clear that she loves what she does. Plus, nutrition is interesting.
Warning: Make sure you buy a new book! She requires original pages for the diet project and quizzes. Easy class if you put a little effort into your diet project, do the chapter quizzes, and either read or go to lecture. Its impossible to get lower than an A with all the extra credit.
Definitely a lot of work to get an A. The class itself was interesting and some of the extra credit lectures are fun. However the workload is a pain. The professor seems cool in class but in her office hours she's completely rude. Go to office hours at your own risk.
She seems really cool at first but by the second midterm I felt like hitting my head against the wall. She is very uptight and demanding. Every assignment is accompanied by a long, detailed explanation and if you don't comply, out of the office! Buying the book (~ $90) is mandatory but it replaces the lecture so you can skip. Lots of extra credit.
Very bias approach to nutrition, all based government standards (eg. food pyramid). Plugged Kellogg products, corporate sponsorship perhaps! Mandatory textbook ($100), can't sell back because of Diet Project pages that you rip out, also it's written by her, so she's basically running a monopoly on students. Mostly worthless expensive class.
How can you not love this lady? She basically holds your hand through the class so you get an A+! That's right A+, not just an A. Really interesting stuff, especially the polar bear story. Highly recommended, everyone should take this class.
Avoid Nut 11, this class is NOT an easy A. The workload is high for a two unit class. Dont expect to get an A unless you do every little tiny thing mentioned. Grades are not based on quality of work just if you put every little thing in your paper that they ask for. Overall a waste of time and energy, especially if you are a Man econ major.
Lots of extra credit opportunities.
I loved her class. I started going to the gym around the time I was taking it, so it enhanced my knowledge of health. She was amazing, and it was incredibly easy. Really, you just have to do the reading and the one assignment, haha. If you go to class, you don't even have to read on your own! Comprehensible, easy, and interesting.
Fantastic Professor! Lectures go perfectly with the book since she wrote it. She posts past finals and tells you up front what essay questions will be asked on the Midterm and Final as well as how to answer them. Loads of extra credit opportunities and every lecture is podcasted.
She didn't teach this class, but her name was listed as the instructor. The class itself was fun, educational, and an easy A. Definitely take if you like reading research articles about nutrition.
Dr. Applegate really wants her students to do well, so she offers A LOT of extra credit opportunities. There is a lot of memorization with this class, but it's really simple basic nutrition. Diet project is an easy pass/no pass. She even mentions test questions during the lecture and tells you how you should answer it. Overall, an easy A!
I LOVED nut 11. Would recommend to anybody genuinely interested in learning more about nutrition. 2 short oral (2-4mins) reports with short (1-2pg) summary and a 4 pg term paper. Really helped me learn how to write a good term paper since they walk you through everything you need to do. I guess it really depends on your TA though, mine wa
This was and still is the funnest class I ever took at UCD! Professor Applegate is a joy to listen to doing lecture. The test are just like the practice exams, and there is a lot of extra credit. It is an easy A class.
She is cool. Just do what she says in lecture. I got a 98% in this class.
I heard from my friends that this class was an EASY CLASS. BUT believe me, it wasn't easy. Maybe because I'm in the Liberal Arts and not the Sciences...but either way it was tough. I put more work into this class than any of my other classes...and idk why but I still got a C. Not an easy A.
I took this class in 2001 or 2002. She left such a lasting impression I'm currently a vegan and I'm thinking of going back to school for nutrition. I graduated with a BS in Animal Science. Thx
My favorite class at Davis so far! Fun, interesting, and easy! Midterms and final are straightforward. She even gives you some short answers questions verbatim and tells you what you need to know. Diet project is tedious but easy. Her lecture style is engaging and interesting. So many extra credit opportunities, there is no reason not to get an A!
Exams and tricky but material is taught well. She is not helpful in office hours but there is plenty of extra credit. Class is more difficult than I expected but I still received an A. DO ALL OF THE EXTRA CREDIT.
take this class! you'll learn lots and have lots of fun. the exams can be a little tricky, i'd say easy B for exams. but that's okay because she provides lots of extra credits for you to get that A (then it becomes an easy A class). she also has food prizes too! she's a great prof. :)
Wonderful professor! Her lectures are very enjoyable and easy to follow. She really cares about her students and offers a lot of extra credit and is very specific about what will be on the exams. I highly recommend this class!
Tought by a TA who was rude and unfriendly (the rest of them are nice). Attendance is mandatory. Essays and presentations. The articles you have to do reviews on are impossible to understand. Grading is unreasonable. Ridiculous amount of work for a 2 unit class. Take another class if you can. You won't regret it.
This class, while not hard, is BEYOND annoying. For the midterms, know the definitions and characteristics of diseases WORD FOR WORD. Also stay on top of things for your diet project; I had to pull an all nighter and still had to redo it because of one error.
This class is really not that hard at all. I'm going to be a senior next year, so I already know how to prioritize myself and know how to memorize things. This class is really hard to get an A+ in however, but essentially an easy A with the ample amount of extra credit. You do have to put work into this class, but you learn so much from this class.
She was a great teacher always very excited to teach class. was very clear and professional. She made class extremely interesting and defiantly got me involved in the subject. She might come off a little rude or harsh at times but if you come to class and put in the effort and try you will easily get an A and she offers to ton of extra credit
Easy 2 unit GE. The guidelines for the class are laid out. No curve balls. It's a TA-led class so I never met the professor. Go to office hours to get help on assignments from the TA's. 3 total assignments. Class meet4s once a week. I0 enjoyed it.8
Easy. GPA booster. Just look at old exams and read the book. She seems helpful but not very patient...
Lots of information, but getting an A is more than possible. An A+ requires some work. GPA booster. Dr. Applegate is very enthusiastic about the subject matter and is very clear in her explanations. This class has nothing to do with my major but had some life-lasting effects. Highly recommend! Tons of extra credit (gives a 5-10% grade boost)
Dr. Applegate is an amazing professor! She is very helpful and you will learn a lot from this class about food and nutrition. The diet project was time consuming but worth it because you will learn what you are lacking. She is very funny in lecture. Take her! You won't regret it!
This class is not easy, it is necessary to study for the exams. however, she provides a lots of extra credits. She is a very good professor because she makes nutrition very interesting for us to study. TAs are also very nice and helpful too!
Take this class. You won't regret it!
This class requires some effort on your part. However you will know a lot of exams questions ahead of time and there is plentiful extra credit. If you put in the effort you should have no problem getting an A.
Great professor! Not an easy A class though so must put in some effort. Interesting class and learned some new things
GREAT CLASS, GREAT PROFESSOR. Very organized. Take this as a virtual student!!!! Watch the midterm reviews online before your test and you should be fine. I got a solid A even though I only got high B's on the tests. Do the extra credit she offers, its easy. The diet project is pretty easy. Make sure to watch the review sessions held by the TA's.
Dr. Applegate is #1 in my book. She is the most dedicated and devoted instructor I have ever had. She makes the subject matter easy and enjoyable. If you are able to have her as your instructor then count your blessings because she is nothing short of spectacular.
Dr. Applegate is my favorite professor at Davis so far! She is very clear about what she expects from students and gives a lot of extra credit. She doesn't post lecture slides, but she lectures from the textbook so you always have that as a resource.
I LOVE THIS CLASS A LOT. She's a GREAT professor. You will learn so much about nutrition. I HIGHLY advice you to take it. It doesn't matter what major you are in, TAKE IT!!! A lot of extra credits and practice is exams are VERY similar to the actual midtermfinal.
She wants her students to succeed. I highly suggest this class.
This lady is a firecracker, and the epitome of everything that a prof should be. She is extremly passionate about her work and the attitude is contagious. This coarse is well organized and she wants her students to succeed. Dr. A is a role model for women and students everywhere which is why students should be begging to take NUT10.
Dr Applegate was the person who restored my faith in UCD. She gives you your money's worth. You will learn so much! Her tests can be tricky, but she wants you to succeed, and pretty much shows you how to get an easy A in her class with her review sessions (in addition to all the extra credit). TAKE HER
I took this class as a virtual student and it was the BEST IDEA EVER! I highly recommend it because it allows you to replay all the hints she gives for exam questions. Dr. Applegate is very passionate about nutrition and it shows! She makes nutrition exciting and fun and you will not be disappointed!
Lectures are clear, she's accessible if needed, and she gives lots of extra credit. However, the problem I had was the Diet Project. It's not really hard to do, but it can be pretty triggering for people with eating disorders. Thankfully, while the project may difficult for some, it's still possible to pass the class while failing the project.
If you don't take this class, you are not an Aggie. Plain and simple. Dr. Applegate is every student's dream professor. Plus, the course is life-changing and eye-opening. NUT 10 is always fresh, interesting, and easy.
You have to take this class if you go to UC Davis. You will regret if you don't take this class.
NUT10 is an easy and popular course here at UCD. Dr. A is pretty nice and helpful. Two midterms are pretty close to samples. However, final is a little bit hard but with so many extra credits, it is still easy to get an A
I'm surprised her ego was able to fit in the lecture hall that holds over 500 students. With that said, she's a great teacher and gives lots of extra credit. I didn't want to put up with her grade boostwaiting in line and I still got an A. A class of 1,000 students is too large to get any meaningful interaction with the professor.
The lectures are long and monotonous and the professor can be pretty annoying, but it's pretty much a guaranteed A and does teach you some useful stuff about your health and your body. So, if you want a GPA boost, take this class. I put in an average amount of work into it and ended with an A+ easily.
Best professor, I loved this class. Super easy GE easy A. Obviously you still need to study but she tells things u need to know for the midterms and final. Practice exams are exactly like the real ones. Overall I really enjoyed taking it.
Dr. Applegate could not be more clear about what is on exams. Practice exams are super similar to actual exams and reviews sessions give you hints about the exams as well. Overall, a pretty stress free and interesting GE.
Everyone told me this class was an easy A, but I ended up with a B. Professor Applegate wasn't the one teaching the class when I took it; one of her TAs taught it. Either way, the tests are all similar. Read the reader she makes you buy and make sure you go to class for bonus points or you won't get an A.
Dr. Applegate is really clear about the grading and gives hints for exams. Tons of extra credit and grade boost to help your grade. Must buy her textbook and attend review sessions. An easy A only if you put in the work and effort.
This is a really good GE to take. You can take it either in class or online (with in class tests). I took it online and found it to be easier for me. There is a lot to study and the tests can be tough but the amount of extra credit she gives makes up for it. You NEED the textbook. Especially for the diet project. Would recommend!
Dr. Applegate is an expert in her field. I learned so much and it's information that you can apply to living a healthy life. Obviously, you have to do work in order to get an A or A+ but it is VERY doable. I took it online. Just read the book, listen to lectures, and study for the in class exams. She tells you EXACTLY what will be on the exams!
Life changing class, the material you won't learn anywhere else. Applegate is respected in the field and REALLY CARES about her students' health and lifestyle. She doesn't impose what's bad or not, but rather informs you. 4 years in UCD and this class made me more attentive with my lifestyle and diet. You have to put in work, but there's no tricks.
Fun class. The course material is very relevant to everyday life. You can take the class online, which I highly recommend. You only need to show up for the exams and to turn in a diet project. Virtual students can view all of the lectures online. She assigns a lot of extra credit so there is a lot of room for error on the tests.
She's teaching for the last time next quarter and I recommend everyone take NUT10 from her! Exams are easy, she actually tells you the questions for the exams and their answers. Entertaining lectures, and improved my health. You actually gotta do the work for this class, but it's not hard.
Great class, organized & clear lecture, straight forward. I took this as a GE and this is a pretty easy class, yet I learned so much and actually put what I learn to practice, the content of this class is relatable to us in everyday life. I feel like every student will benefit from this class.
NUT10 with Dr. Applegate is a must-take course. It's an easy A if you go to/ watch(virtual) the lectures and do all the extra credit. Not only is this class great for boosting your GPA, but it really puts into perspective how important a healthy diet can be. Don't miss out on an opportunity to take this class!
Good class. It is offered as a virtual one and an in person one. She spells out the exams for you so there are no surprises.
It's a fun class to take and it is an easy A class because there are so much extra credit!!! The tests can be tricky sometimes but you can get at least 80% if you watch the review lectures.
BEST CLASS EVEER with tons of extra credit. One of my fav classes which was not expected because I chose it randomly to fill my units. No regrets. Easy, clear, just do the work and follow through!
Professor A. is very enthusiastic with her lectures. The majority of the class tend to finish with mostly A's because she offers lots of extra credit.
Oh Liz, how I loved you so. Best class, super informative, enjoyed every second and got an A+ in the process. If you want a grade boost, to learn about how to be healthy, take this
This is a very easy course that is straightforward. That being said, be prepared for the high price of the e-textbook which costs $54+tax to do the mandatory diet project. She does not give out the 6 pages of PDF. The online videos that you watch instead of lecture are ok but repetitive and slow, definitely possible to understand at 2X speed.
Theres TONS of videos that you need to watch and you are required to pay a lot to get your diet project forms (+textbook) which is pretty pricey since you cannot use a used textbook and its forms.
TAKE IT!!
Applegate is a wonderful lecturer who provides a lot of extra credit to boost your grade. Her lectures can get a little boring and redundant, as a lot of information is repeated, so watch them at a faster speed. However, this is a class worth taking for an easy A, and she has a lot of passion for nutrition, and she's respected here at Davis.
She is an immoral person who profited off poor students. This woman funded a new wing in her house and a fleet of vehicles in her garage by forcing students to buy her poorly written textbook and tear out pages so they cannot be resold.
Very strict and forces you to buy her textbook which you can't even resell. Applegate embezzled money from students with her textbook scam. 500 students x 4 quarters a year x 20 years x 50 a book = 2 million. If you see her at the football game, be rude and unkind. She deserves it and karma will definitely come back to haunt her
