She is definitely one of the best professors in the entire school. She is nicer than she look, so don't let that scare you. She is precise about what she wants, but she is also precise about the material that is relevant to her tests, so if read the book, attend class sessions and study like you should, you should pass with no problem.

She's sweet & understanding. All assignments are perfectly clear on what you should do or avoid, which makes the class easy. So if you follow her guidelines EXACTLY then you can get an "A" in the class. if you dont then its your own fault. Lecture's are clear & on the tests. Not easy exams - you have to remember DETAILs; take it seriously.

Nadine is funny and interesting. Loves her jokes in class. Took her over the summer and wasn't as bad at all. She used powerpoint so just print out her notes and study at home and do her homework on blackboard. There was a 20 pages paper, but it was fun because it's about your life experience.

Professor Kirkpatrick was awesome. Kind of unorganized, showed up late to class various times. Class was easy, lectures were interesting and the only big project was a calorie count project that required downloading app. Easy class and she is super hilarious!

A lot of discussion boards and review questions. 1 big project but the format she uses makes it a hassle to turn in. But the class overall is just busy work.

Lecture was interesting. It made you want to come to class. Professor was hilarious. Very caring. She gave student online make-up exam so dont worry if you do bad on 1 exam. She took 4 highest score tests. The diet project was simple. Just do as what she asked and you will get full credit. Take note carefully and everything will be fine.

To be honest i do not have words to explain professor Nadine Kirkpatrick. She is the most talented and experienced professor i took Nutrition 300 in Sac city college as this class was very tough for me because English is my second language it is hard to catch up every words but Professor Kirkpatrick make it very easy for me. Thanks professor.

Very silly, loves her some nutrition, and makes it to where you can get a hold of her via zoom. I loved attending her class! As for the grading, you want to complete out of class projects on time. Also, no need to take notes, just review the slides and read the online text book. I recommend her to everyone who is considering, stay engaged!

She is the most caring and understanding teacher I've ever had. Her lectures are very fun and easy to understand. She makes it easy to take notes. What I love most about this class is there is no homework. You just have to make sure you study the lectures.

She is such an amazing professor. One project, with 5 extremely easy tests and a make up exam, it really hard to not pass. Powerpoints are posted and easily accessible.

Probably my favorite professor ever. Dr. Kirkpatrick is hilarious, caring, and a super good professor. Definitely make and utilize flash cards for her exams, and don't be afraid to ask her for help outside of class. Textbook was free too, which was awesome!

She already had online classes so transition due to COVID was extremely smooth. Hilarious teacher and really energetic. She really cares about her students. Pay attention to her lectures direct correlation to her quizzes and exams. Could not have chosen a better nutrition professor/class. Zoom and phone accessible!

This is a Freshman Seminar Course. It's a super easy class, and you can finish all the weeks assignments in an hour! She is very nice and caring, and she gave us the opportunity to meet with many people from different health professions. Great sense of humor and she really does care for every student!

This class is definitely the easiest A you'll have as long as you aren't super lazy. She gives about 3 assignments a week that are all basically the same exact thing, just different topics, and zoom calls are mainly just guest speakers providing information about careers, financial issues, and more.

Took this class online. It was easy, but there is quite a bit of reading to better understand materials and chapters. Participation does matter! Definitely learned a lot and highly recommend this professor for credit or if you just want to know more about health and nutrition.

An easy A class, but it was quite a tedious class overall. Lots of homework and projects. Did I remember a lot of random facts? Not really. Tests are open book. I learned a lot in terms of the big picture of nutrition, but some questions were ridiculously specific and unnecessary. However, it's allow me to be one step closer to nursing school.

Lots of homework

An easy A, but tedious with lots of busywork. Tests are open-book, so memorization isn't crucial. Found Unstuck AI helpful for prepping on the go - great supplement to the textbook.

The class was super easy. Tests are open book. The professor is very funny. Don't miss class! Most assignments are done in class and she doesn't allow you to make them up. Highly recommend. She doesn't care if your late to class just don't disrupt while she is teaching. Loves when students have questions or are able to answer her questions.
