She is just very, very rude. If you ask her a question, expect for her to make you feel dumb. A student that did research with her asked for a letter of recommendation and she said "I don't know you like that". Another person emailed her saying "hey" to which Dr. Brown replied "do not say hey to me". very unpleasant.

Dr. Brown is not coherent in her teaching, grading or expectations. Her rubrics were poorly formatted, and if you asked her about them she would get an attitude. She is quite defensive. A peer did a research project and backed it up with credible evidence. She didn't like the evidence it so she failed the project, though it was reputable.

Her test are all essay questions and you only have 50 minutes in the class to take exams. Plus she told us at the beginning of class there wasn't going to be a final. Then, we find out half way through that there is a final, and she didn't post a syllabus until the middle of the semester, so we had no idea what to expect next unless she told us.

When you go to ask her a question about one of her tests (which are absolutely ridiculous you have to write exactly what is on her slides, almost every single question) she gets really defensive, as if you are attacking her or something just for asking about your test. She argues with you about anything. Don't recommend.

Worst teacher. Very rude. Never respond emails and think she is the smartest in the world and others are dumb. When you go her office to look exams she will treat you like stupid and never explain.

She has a very bad attitude and has a strong accent. I heard from all the students that nutrition faculty are good teachers. I dont agree that after sitting in her class. Bad, very bad teacher. Planning to switch or drop this class. Dont take her.

NEVER answers emails. Thinks she knows everything. Power points are not very organized and sometimes hard to follow. Talks super fast and makes following along in class hard. It is hard to go back and study notes for her class because they are not in a clear order. I will never take another one of her classes.

Never ever take her again for any class. She dont know the subject and just read the slides. Never respond emails and treat the students very bad. She has a bad attitude. Not clear instructions were given. Dont waste your time.

There are no good things I have to say about this professor. The tests are super specific and do not reflect learned in class material. She is super arrogant and not understanding or helpful to students. Would never ever take a class taught by her again.

do NOT take her. I took this class thinking it would be fairly easy and interesting but boy was i wrong. I even went to the student review sessions but they couldnt even help us because our professor teaching methods suck

Dr. Brown does not care about success of her students! Her lectures and slides are not clear. Tests are very hard no matter how much you study and when I went into her office hours she was annoyed with me and vague with answering questions. She acts like all her students are nutrition majors, but nutrition 2000 is a human sciences core.

Dr. Brown has a bad attitude and tends to act like her students are beneath her. She gets an attitude when questions are asked to her, she runs out of tests, she does not answer emails, she has a very limited window for office hours. Take a different professor. I wish I had dropped her when I had the chance.

He class makes absolutely no sense. Ive always hated anything science but I have always been a straight A student. I hated the class and the teacher. no matter how many times you study the slides the test makes no sense. Seriously drop her

The tests average never were above a D. This is an introductory class and she makes it as hard as can be. She is not nice and always seems not excited to be in class. I do not recommend her. She does give a ton of extra credit though, so attending class is mandatory if you want a decent grade.

Single handily the reason for my gpa dropping for the first time in 2 years. DO NOT TAKE, she does not give accurate information from the book, said in class that 90% of the body weight is water. Manages to put everything on the slides that we doesnt provide enough details to answer the questions on the tests. Impossible to pay attention to.

Worst. Class. Ever. She makes no sense most of the time and her slides are just subtitles from the textbook with no substance. Have to read the whole textbook to get any understanding of the material. However it still doesn't really matter for the exam bc her questions are super detail oriented and she does nothing to prepare you. Cumulative final.

Dr. Brown is not a bad person by any means but she is not the best professor. Her lectures are very boring and she reads right off the slides she projects in class. Her tests are absolutely impossible and go way more in depth than her lectures ever do. Take her section as an absolute last resort.

Absolute worst teacher I have ever had. As a nutrition major, I was required to take this class and didn't expect it to be bad bc it was only a 1 hour course. She yelled at people for asking questions and tormented us with the way she had us do our speeches. Not to mention the class was only offered at 4pm. I hope I never have to take her again.

She is a good person, but her class is so boring. I will never take her class again.

Mandatory class attendance, even in the age of COVID. Get ready for lots of group discussions and projects, even though they accomplish nothing educationally. Asks test questions that are opinion-based, so if she disagrees with you or flat out doesnt like you then youre going to be incorrect. Very unprofessional and by far the worst NTRI prof.

Avoid her like the plague... Very illogical person. Pretty much only 2 grades the whole semester (one of them is an elevator speech that you have to have memorized for 4 months, and you never know when you will present it). Neither of our main grades seem to have anything to do with NTRI. Some of the guest speakers are informative though

This is one of the hardest courses I have taken, simply because the tests are nothing like what she lectures, what is on the slides or in the book. I study in advance and go over every possible material and still make C/D on every test. She also treats her students as numbers and has no sympathy for mistakes or submission errors.

Her class is 100% Scantron based tests. I tried to go to her for help but she was pretty rude to me and was not very easy to reach. I emailed her many times (she replied days later) and studied very hard for her tests but still didn't do as well as I wanted and she didn't seem to care at all. Do not take her class

Prepare to learn the material on your own. She reads off of the slides and doesnt explain things well and the exams are so difficult because she wants you to pick the best answer. But even if you dont do well you can still pass. I got below a 70 on all the exams and still passed with a B because she offers so many quizzes.

Dr. Brown is the most insensitive and uncaring professor I've ever had. Nutrition students have no option but taking her at least 3 times during their time at Auburn. She does not care about students and does not know what she is teaching. Makes up exams from thin air and uses slang wording. Way too much work for a one or two hour class

Have witnessed her yell at people in class, do not feel cared for as a student, and do not find most of our projects or homework helpful in furthering my education.

Dr. Brown was the worst experience I had freshman year here at Auburn. Her lectures are boring and complex for the class to be so simple. She wants to see you fail. Don't even dare ask her for help or she will laugh in your face and tell you to work harder. It's so obvious she hates her job and would rather be anywhere else. AVOID HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Brown does not know what she is teaching. She repeats lessons but changes what she means each time. If you ask her questions, she will tell you a different answer each time. She incorrectly grades her exams. She makes you feel stupid and not confident in your work. She is overall not a very nice person, and she doesn't know what she's teaching.

Worst Professor I've had. From day one she puts you in groups and you work on one project the entire semester. She requires groups to complete worksheets that are more confusing than helpful. I feel like I didn't learn anything, she says the tests are applicable but it's just memorization and she's a tough grader. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

She's rude, stubborn, heartless, and has admitted that she doesn't even like teaching. She always says her favorite job was Pizza Hut and she has no appreciation for Nutrition. It's unfortunate that all Nutrition majors don't have another option because if someone else taught this, it could've been a really fun class. Nobody likes her, so good luck

Prof Brown only showed up twice this semester (not that I wanted to see her) but was unclear when we were meeting in class or online. The least she could do was provide a schedule so we could be prepared. There's a speaker every week and you take a 5 question quiz about their speech. She grades VERY harshly on the elevator speech & ePortfolio's.

If I could give this woman no stars I would. She is actually the worst ever. I did well in this class, but she was so rude and difficult. The entirety of your grade is dependent on 2 projects. Literally cannot say it enough- STAY AWAY

Professor Brown is a very nice woman, but an awful grader. She makes her exams very difficult and specific so make sure you study the material a lot. She is not easy to get in touch with and changes her syllabus frequently without informing her students. I have heard students have been trying to get her fired for a while now.

Awful and gets worse every semester. Legitimately gaslights students, changes the syllabus and then tells us we would have known if we had read it. Talks about random things and teaches and tests on topics not even in the text book like a racism video? A complete roller coaster of emotions, you never know whats next. Get ready to be yelled at daily

Doctor Brown is not a bad person, however, she should not be a teacher. She is disorganized, she changed the syllabus at will, her tests make you recite the notes word for word. Her class was basically training to do social work. She should not be required for nutrition majors.

Worst professor I've ever had. Her tests are extremely hard and subjective. She doesn't seem to care about her students and makes everything so much harder than it needs to be. It's a shame that she is the only professor who is offered and that we have to take multiple classes with her. If someone else taught this class it may actually be enjoyable

Dr. Brown is not very compassionate or understanding. I dont think she understands how much students have going on and that were not only taking her class. The exams were really hard and the majority of the questions on them were stuff we never covered in class.

Don't take this class!

This entire class is just group work with a group she chooses for you. You have to volunteer for 20 hours, do a poster presentation, and submit a grant proposal along with the exams. It wasnt necessarily a hard class, but extremely frustrating. She didnt want us asking her about the proposal, then harshly graded them knowing that we were confused.

She just reads off the PowerPoint in her lectures and posts them to Canvas with blanks all throughout, so if you miss class, there's really no way to take the notes. Her tests are unbelievably hard, and the final is given with no study guide and is over at least 13 chapters. Just not a great teacher.

Genuinely the worst professor I have EVER had. So passive aggressive, claims her tests are easy but the average was a 66. This is the hardest class I have taken in college so far. You would think she would be nice but she barely gives any help or feedback. Lectures are boring and slides provide no information. DO NOT RECCOMEND!!!!

If you have the option to take this class with anyone but Dr. Brown, do it. She is a nice person but an extremely difficult teacher. The slides make no sense and the tests are nearly impossible. Class average was an F for almost all 5 tests. The only reason I didn't fail is because of extra credit on a project and small chapter quizzes.

mr. brown is very nice as a person; however, her class is super hard. im usually a try hard when it comes to school but i literally had to withdraw myself out this class. the test are very difficult and has no correlation to the slides she lectures (the class average for the tests were really bad too). it best to rely on the project & extra credit

The lectures seem to repeat the same things over and over and the exams are extremely hard no matter how much you study. She provides a lot of bonus opportunity which is the only way to bring up your grade. The tests are the majority of your grade and there are not many assignments. She reads directly from the slides.

She was nice some days and gives extra credit once a month but she is NOT willing to help her students. She has 5 exams throughout the semester and most have 4. I went to meet with her a bunch for help and she was always rude and had an attitude. I do NOT recommend her at all and if there is another professor as an option take that.

Dr Brown thought a very sweet lady should not be a professor. She practically just reads the book work for work and the test are always completely different. She did give many opportunities for extra credit which is the only reason I passed.

nice but her tests are insane and she just reads out of hte book for lecture. her class was the reason i changed my major. her project is the only reason i was able to pass and she offers a few extra credit but the tests are really hard and she doesnt teach whats on the tests

Try your best to avoid this professor. ESPECIALLY online. When I had problems accessing an exam, she didn't really care to help fix the problem. Additionally, the tests are nothing like the notes. The project and the quizzes are what saved my grade. Beware!

Absolutely avoid her at all costs. She says she cares about if you pass the class or not but then won't answer any emails and is always uninterested. The exams have nothing to do with the lectures. I don't even understand what to study for these exams cause nothing is similar to her lectures. Worst class I've ever taken.

IT WAS NOT EASY. I never made above an F on any of her exams and I am usually a pretty good student. She is very unorganized and you kind of just have to figure out the work yourself. She reads off of sloppy slides that don't make sense if you are not in class. There are no study guides and the exams always seem to be on random, hard stuff.

Dr Brown is a kind lady but is extremely hard to work with. She is not great at answering emails and just reads off the slides. I also had to set up a makeup exam with her and she never showed up. I went all the way back home after waiting 30 minutes before some graduate student emailed me to come back and take it with her.
