She is fabulous!

This class is a tough class, but so are almost all G.E.'s. This class is hard no matter who you take it from, but if you take it from her you'll enjoy it. She's funny and applies the material to you. The key to tests is memorize and put in the time.

Good teacher, but too much memorizing for the test.

Good, she is very clear on what's due, what's on the test... etc.

She really knows her stuff. Interesting and very willing to help. Memorizing is a major part of the class

Hard class!! But very interesting, you will come home saying, "did ya know..." almost every day. Read for the quizzes and studying for the tests way before hand. Dr. Brown is funny and entertaining. She also is very helpful if you need some extra help. Very friendly women.

This was such a great class. Dr. Brown is an excellent teacher and really knows her stuff. Super nice lady. She makes the class fun. You must go to the lectures, she tells you what you need to know for the test. If you do the reading and just go to class, this class is really not hard.

class is somewhat tough, but not impossible. homework assignments are free points if you do them right. exams can be tough, but they are from the department. if you read beforehand and study slides from lectures, the exams are easy A's.

Great teacher, but tests are way hard! She's the one to take the class from though

Dr. Brown is a great teacher. There is a lot of material in the text, but only focus on the material that is covered in lecture. If she doesn't talk about it in class, it won't be on the test. Tests are a little challenging, but learn what she says in class and then read it from the book also and you'll do fine.

I love Dr. Brown, but she is a very difficult professor. I liked this class much better than NDFS 100. It's still a hard class, but alot less intense. There's a group project so beware...it's worth a lot of your grade.

She is a very energetic teacher and she loves to share what she knows. She gets way into lectures and makes it fun. Tests are hard, but they're from the department. Get a study group together and put in the time and you'll be fine. I've learned sooo much in this class. If she doesn't know an answer, she'll find out and tell you next class.

I absolutely loved this class. I applied my knowledge to my life and how I think about nutrition. I loved the humor she used in the lessons and her attitude. She loves her job and the Lord. I respect her and her dedication and preparation. She knows what she is talking about. I wish more classes at BYU were like this one though it is a challenge.

If you take a nutrition class, definately take it from Dr. Brown. Her tests can be tough, but 90% of the test questions come from her lecture and not fromt he required reading. So take good notes in class and pay attention or you're doomed! But it's not that hard to get a B in her class.

She is a very sweet lady and very knowledgeable. To do well, you have to spend a lot of time reading and memorizing. I did really well in class; then again, I'm a health nut and love nutrition. But if you have to take the class, she's the one to take it from!

Dr. Brown is a very kind professor that wants all her students to succeed. She lets her students know what is on the test by putting important infromation on her power point presentation. It is a fun class because she sparks discuccion and allows her students to work on group activities.

Been told many times this is hardest 100-level class at BYU. Very entertaining, funny in her own way. All ndfs 100 tests same, uses ppts & goes thru them slow enough to write down info but not so slow to lose attention. Allows discussion in class & has group projects before test-prepare you very well. Have to study and memorize a ton for tests.

She is a nice lady, and I learned a lot in the class, but I thought the tests were pretty tough. You have to memorize a lot! Sometimes I would walk into the testing center feeling prepared and then get the test and feel like I knew nothing. Study a lot and go to class!

Sister Brown is sooooo nice. She is really a sweet lady. Her class kicked my butt hard core though. It is a LOT of studying and the tests are hard. She is always willing to help though. I would not take this as a freshman first semester, start with something easier unless you want to die. :O)

Dr. Brown is hilarious. She makes class so much fun. Her lectures are very interesting and it's a really good class that I think everyone should take. She is pretty easy. The tests are okay. Not too hard if you study.

This was probably the first lecture I ever actually enjoyed going to! Dr. Brown is funny, interesting to listen to, and she really knows what she's talking about. And the info is actually useful in life! The tests do require studying, but they're not that bad if you take good lecture notes (don't miss class!). Only 4 or 5 assignments.

Dr. Brown is one of the sweetest people I know. The class isn't too bad just make sure to do the readings and study hard for the tests. The questions are fair but there is a lot of material to memorize.

Make sure you stay up with the reading! She posts objectives on blackboard that you need to know like the back of your hand for the tests. Going to lecture helps, but study mainly from the book (it helps a lot more). Great teacher, but don't take it your first semester as a freshman, it's a killer!

Dr. Brown is a terrific professor but the subject she teaches is boring. Department policies make the class much harder than it should be and the tests, written by the department, not Dr. Brown, are full of tricky questions. If you have to take this class I would recommend Dr. Brown, but unless you love Nutrition you should not take this class.

Dr. Brown is a great teacher but this class is pretty hard for a 100 class. The tests are tricky and you have to study pretty hard for them. GO TO CLASS or you will not do well on the tests. Take good notes and study those along with the book.

Great teacher. Makes class fun and exciting. Definitely has a great sense of humor. There is a good amount of work involved, but it's all information that is applicable so it's not bad. I loved the class.

Dr. Brown knows what she's talking about and obviously enjoys it, but doesn't come off as 'holier than thou'. An A is possible if you take good notes and study with at least one other person. Assignments aren't difficult, but there is a lot of reading. The textbook is very necessary

I enjoyed this class and Dr. Brown makes it funny. Listen to what she tells you; it will help! I wish she would put her slides online, but she won't, so take good notes and don't miss class. KNOW the objectives and follow directions exactly and you should do very well.

This class was somewhat interesting. I liked the material, but the tests were horrible. They were poorly worded and confusing. We were allowed on page of front and back notes for the exams (only 1 and a final). Even with this, the average on the first test was only 78% and there was no curve. Make sure you know your stuff. Good class otherwise.

She is very quirky, but the class itself was super interesting for me. It is assigned seating, which was lame, and you have group assignments. She does allow lots of questions, which is great. Keep excellent notes and go to class everyday and study the chapter reivews like crazy, and you will get an A like I did.

Professor Brown is a fantastic teacher. I was not totally interested in the material we had to learn but she made the class fun enough that I actually wanted to be there. If you have to take this class definitely take it from her.

Dr. Brown was such a great professor I learned so much from her. She is so funny and entertaining. The tests are hard, but they are department tests. Read the book and go to class and take good notes.

Dr Brown is a great professor. She brings in some visual demonstrations that are helpful. The test is for all NDFS 100 including from other professors. You should know the concepts on her study guide for tests. Know what the best food would be for a certain vitamin or whatever and you will do well on exams.

VERY interesting. Questions come right from the study guides, so do them. Class is not a ton of work, but a fair amount. USE YOUR TAs. They are SO helpful! Advice: try to sit near the front and also not to take it at 8am. It is in interesting class but because Dr. Brown speaks kind of quietly, it can sometimes be difficult to stay awake.

Dr. Brown is awesome :) she's a fantastic teacher and knows a lot about nutrition. I hate school, and I liked this class. Nutrition in general is interesting, and her class was just that. She is very quiet and if that's a problem, sit towards the front. tests=study guide. i didn't do so great, because i didnt read and i hardly studied. got a B.

This was a really good class. Professor Brown really cares about her students and works hard to make sure that everyone gets something out of the class. It was easy for me: 4 "busy work" assignments and 4 tests that are strait from the lectures.

She was a really good teacher. She tests on what she says she will. She is willing to help students. You have to read the text book but its not really a hard class.

Dr. Brown enjoys nutrition and it really shows in her classes. It's because of her enjoyment in nutrition that I decided to major in it for my undergrad. The class is difficult, but you learn a ton about nutrition that is very applicable to life. The tests are written by the department, and the class prepares you for them.

I had her 8:00 class and after the first couple of weeks, never went except for when we had group projects due in class. The students put together a googledoc to study for each exam, which contain all of the notes you would take in class or on your own from the book. If you actually try to learn the information, this class is easy.

Amazing Professor and class. It's hard if you haven't taken any other previous science classes but overall very useful and interesting. She is a very caring and spiritual woman. You are lucky if you are able to get into her class. She makes it very interesting.

Great teacher. She explains things clearly and makes an effort to make good class discussion. Her packet was confusing and out of order but reading it was required with daily in-class reading quizzes. She's very approachable and made an effort to learn everyone's names. Her opinion was very obvious but she still showed all sides of the argument.

Awesome professor. In order to get an A you have to try really hard in the class. She gives you all the information and then some, you just have to use it. Tests are pretty hard and the questions are weirdly worded. Try hard and it will be worth it.

Dr. Brown is an incredible person who truly cares about students. Yes, she sometimes lectured with her eyes closed, and was a little odd, but the class was excellent. The TAs grade everything. Dr. Brown is very willing to help with any questions you have and is great one on one. The class was excellent and one I recommend to everyone.

Dr. Brown is an incredible woman, both personally and as a professor. I struggled at the beginning of the year despite my interest and efforts in the subject. After meeting with her one-on-one, my test scores improved. Not graded on attendance but gives i-clicker questions for participation points. Everything on the test is covered in class.

This class wasn't the most exciting, but it wasn't hard either. I loved the way it was organized. Fill out the study guides for the required readings and you'll get a A on the reading quizzes every time. They also really help prepare you for the exams. Dr Brown is a little strange, but nice.

I found that I didnt need to go to class at all, but I still did because it was fascinating. I studied the exam study material that I put together, and got a A in the class. Used the TA lab a lot to to solidify what I learned. fascinating class.

I absolutely loved this class. She explained the content clearly and in a way that made you understand why it is important in our lives. This class really changed the way I eat and live. I highly recommend this class and professor.

She is an amazing teacher. She is passionate about Nutrition and makes the subject enjoyable and fascinating. She is hilarious! It was an easy class overall, just use the Study Guides from each chapter to prepare for the tests and you will succeed for sure!

I LOVE Dr. Brown! She is so clear and readily explains difficult concepts. Tests are easy if you go to class and study the study guides. She also is hilarious! This class changed my life! I highly recommend her!

In order to receive an A you can't miss more than 20 points the entire semester, which isn't very easy. Four departmental exams with some subjective questions and others straight from lecture/google doc. A- or B+ is definitely doable in this class without spending a ton of time. However, for a 100 class I would say some assignments are on steroids!

Great class. Funny, practical, isn't afraid to say when she doesn't know something. Iclicker q's every lecture for participation in case you're borderline for a better grade at the end. Basically only need text for online quizzes, though it does help for test prep.

Great class. Funny, practical, isn't afraid to say when she doesn't know something. Need text for online quizzes, helpful w/ test prep. I don't know what the last person was thinking, you can miss 39 points in the class before you lose an A (39 would be a lot...even 20 wouldn't be bad).

Great class. Funny, practical, isn't afraid to say when she doesn't know something. Need text for online quizzes, helpful w/ test prep. I don't know what the last person was thinking, you can miss 39 points in the class before you lose an A - an A didn't seem hard to pull at all.

Dr. Brown is definitely the teacher to take for this class. She goes over exactly what we need to know for the test and she's funny and makes the material apply to us. It takes some work but it's not a huge workload and the assignments aren't difficult. It's fairly easy to get a good grade- just go over the study guide.

Sis. Brown is super nice and funny. Clicker quizzes every day. The tests are departmental, and are very heavily based on applying principles; pay attention in class to the formulas. Overall I found the class to be very useful/relevant and informative. Groups are assigned In class so be careful where you sit haha.

Dr. Brown is one of the best teachers I've ever had here. She knows her stuff, cares about the subject, and makes lectures funny and interesting. The class does involve a lot of work, but the material learned it invaluable.

Awesome class and awesome teacher. You can get a lot from just reading the book and lecture slides. She gives study guides that are pretty general, so I would recommend still going to class to get more info directly relevant to tests. A couple of application assignments and a quiz for each chapter. Lots of memorization.

Would recommend Dr. Brown. She was very interesting. My class was an hour and fifteen minutes long, so it could sometimes get boring just because of the length, but she taught the material really well. There were only a few assignments (all of them were pretty easy), and tests were fair. Reading the text helps clarify & reinforce lecture material.

Dr. Brown is the best teacher that I've had so far at BYU. She was very helpful and her class was interesting and fun. During lecture she basically tells you everything that you will need to know for the tests. I studied notes from the class and got an A on all of the tests. BEST TEACHER EVER!!

Dr. Brown is absolutely wonderful. In class, she clearly explains the material and outlines what you will need to know on the test. I wouldn't take this class from anyone else.

Dr. Brown is great! Not my favorite class but still not too hard. Quizzes are open book, which is nice. Assignments aren't too hard either. Her lectures are interesting! I've heard hers are better than other teachers. She posts powerpoints online too. Also, she's helpful in telling you what you need to study for.

Dr. Brown is so great. I wish she was my grandma. Her tests are pretty easy and any assignments we had for class are easy as well. Online quizzes are all open book and not timed. Lectures are posted online and TA reviews saved my life. Overall a great class and a very sweet teacher who brings the spirit into every class.

Easy and interesting class. Tests weren't too hard. NDFS 100 has the same tests and assignments no matter which professor you get.

Professor Brown is a very sweet old lady, but the lectures are extremely boring and you'll quickly realize attendance starts to become not worth it. If you read the book, go to a review, and just memorize the study guide there is no reason you should get any worse than an A-.

Class is well organized. A study guide is included for each day so if you do the assigned reading and come to class you've got the answers/ material for tests. Loved the sections on diabetes, obesity, hypertension, osteoporosis, and I can now interpret a scientific study! ~6 lecture/readings felt pointless. Overall I'm glad I took the class!

I was pretty excited to take this class, and I wasn't too disappointed. The lectures felt pretty long, but if you take good notes you'll do great on the exams.

I absolutely loved Professor Brown. She knows what she is talking about and truly cares about nutrition. Her lectures were fabulous and very entertaining. I would take her class again in a heart beat. If you attend lectures, study for the tests with the study guides, and go to TA reviews you will be golden on the exams!

Brown was very nice and enthusiastic, but the material was hard to remember. There were obscure details on the tests and the grading of assignments was nitpicky. If you're good at memorization, you shouldn't have a problem. Brown is willing to help and wants to get to know her students. Lectures are full of information, so it's not good to skip.

Dr. Brown is very dedicated to her class and is passionate about nutrition. Her tests are pretty hard and there is quite a lot of reading. Lectures were the only way I learned the subject. That and a lot of studying. Memorization and understanding of chemistryscience is key. It's a tough one.

Dr. Brown is actually pretty funny, though I don't know if it's always intentional. She is committed. Tests aren't too bad if you do the readings (there are a lot of readings).

Dr. Brown is a very kind lady who sincerely cares about her students-- sounds cliche, but it's true. The way she lectured made the 2.5 hour class seem like a breeze-- and note: I took this as a 9 AM class! This is just an all-around wonderful course and Dr. Brown is the best professor I think I could've taken it from.

She is a true angel. I chatted with her in her office about her being a single parent raising kids (I think she had 7?) and just dealing with life. She is inspirational, strong, and brilliant. She knows SO much about food science and nutrition and she was totally willing to give me breaks on late assignments.
