Awesome professor. Made going to an 8am class tolerable and she really tried to keep the material interesting for everyone. Attendance isn't necessary, but if you go to class you do get extra credit. Assignments really help your grade and her exams are very fair. She almost did a one handed cartwheel on the last day of class but decided not to. :D

If you've taken ntdt200, know a thing or two about exercising, and pay attention to what Professor Eastep stresses in class, you will excel in this class. Some of the material is dry and redundant, but she tries to make it fun. Effort level was very low and I expect an A. Recommended.

She drops the lowest quiz & lowest test. There's a project and she gives clicker questions. But she gives extra credit every single day. If you're not a health science major, then the tests will be harder for you as they have so much material. 50 questions for a 1 chapter quiz, 75 for a 4 chapter test. Easy class, lots of info.

Be very cautious taking her for NTDT 310. She does a ridiculous group project where you have to somehow work with 10 other students to present a whole chapter in the course of two lectures.

Lots of lectures to watch and info to memorize, but if you put in the work you should get a good grade. Exams are tough but there are a lot of easy assignments so it helps balance out any bad grades. Offers a lot of extra credit. Super nice professor and makes this class really interesting! Definitely recommend Professor Eastep!

Professor Eastep is the sweetest lady ever! The class is structured with a progressive project that goes along side with lectures, with open-note exams and quizzes periodically. She gives extra credit all the time, so it makes up for the harsh-ish grading on the out of class assignments. Overall great class, would recommend.

Eastep is a pretty good teacher-she has her own attitude and def has favorites in class but gives great extra credit and is super helpful in office hours. It is a lot of info and is lecture heavy and you'll have to put in the work to do well on exams, which can be difficult, but most hw is 100% if you finish it on time which helps.

Easily the best professor ive ever had! I was very scared after the first class just because she made it clear that this class would be very hard. If you pay attention, put in the work, and prove to her that you want to do well, this class will be a breeze! Very easy to pick up what she is putting on the exams if you pay attention!

I did not enjoy Dr. Eastep's class. It was lecture heavy and she goes way too fast. The exams were extremely difficult. She does take attendance sometimes and offers a good amount of extra credit, though. She could be very passive aggressive and is not good at answering in class or emailed questions without some sort of snark to her response.

By far my favorite professor of all time. She only lectures but they are entertaining, and she does tons of demonstrations that you require volunteers who get extra credit. You will have to work in her class, but her tests are fair, and she also has several assignments graded on completion. Would definitely take her again.

She's a fair grader and as long as you do the work, you'll get a good grade. She helped me fall in love with Nutrition, I would definitely recommend her!

If you want to know what a Karen is, take this prof. I've truly never had such an inconsiderate professor. Powerpoints are rushed through and exams are definitely not easy. They contain a lot of information that needs to be memorized. Don't even bother trying to ask questions as they are answered passive aggressively. Never answers emails either.

Professor Eastep is very unorganized when it comes to everything. She will say the exam are certain chapters while they are on totally different chapters. She is very passive aggressive when you ask questions and send emails. She takes days to respond (not sure why because everything she gives is automatically graded). She does give extra credit

Professor Eastep is an excellent teacher. She makes complicated topics simple and easy to understand. She gives lots of grades, so even if you do poorly in the class, you can end with a good grade, and she gives extra credit if you participate. However, she is pretty strict about assignments deadlines and doesn't give many exceptions.

Professor Eastep is a very good professor and although the course relies on memorization, she is very good at providing resources. Her lectures were also very engaging. She gives chances for extra credit and the homework's are an automatic 100 just for doing them. The course is very lecture heavy and challenging but very knowledgable.

Very unorganized and speeds through lectures. She is very nice, though. Extra credit is given like crazy. Exams are open-note. Lots of assignments. Choose a good group for the semester-long project as it is really heavy material. There is math, nutrition, and anatomy involved in this course. It is more a sports nutrition course than anything.

Very engaging lectures (which is good because there's mandatory attendance) and lots of opportunities for extra credit. Weekly reading checks and 4 quizzes all online, and 4 in person exams. She's a bit disorganized though and her slides aren't always thorough enough for exams (which are taken on McGraw Hill - get used to weird wording).
