easy class. take it. prof petey can be boring at times but hes a good guy over all. just take good notes. and youll be fine. or never go to class and get them offline. :)

I love Pete! He really knows what he's talking about. He sometimes tells interesting stories about his 'patients' which allow you to remember important concepts more easily. He stutters sometimes, but I think it's cute. TIP: Study old exams for ALL exams! (and Shane the TA is pretty worthless)

This class was surprisingly interesting. Go to lecture, do the study questions, and be sure to do the old exams and you'll do fine. Don't buy the book--you never, ever use it.

Very funny guy with nice personality. You can't beat a 3 credit science class with no lab. Tests are very easy if you take the online practice quizzes beforehand. Should be at least a guranteed B.

Awesome guy, interesting material. Take advantage of practice tests online.

This class was so easy, don't believe the postings complaining of the difficulty (they probably sport a 2.0 GPA). Just go to lecture and do the practice exams, and you'll do fine.

SOOOOOOO EASY! I didn't even buy the book and I got an A. Lecture is boring, but if you take notes and use the practice exams/review sheets you'll be fine. Half of the questions on exams are from old exams anyway.

I love him! He explains everything really well and I find the lectures very interesting, if you pay attention an A is gauranteed

hard to read handwriting, but at least he writes the important things down instead of just lecturing at you. seems rushed at times which makes handwriting even worse. good guy though

This is a very easy bio credit. PRINT OFF THE LECTURE NOTES FROM ON-LINE. I swear it will make your life and the exams a million times easier. Do the practice exams cuz the test is usually 50% of those questions. Good class if you are actually interested in nutrition.

great lecturer, he sometimes stutters but it is cute

Do the practice exams/quizzes and study the old exams and you'll be fine for the tests. Really easy if you can memorize. Material is really easy and easy to understand.

Takes exam questions straight from online practice exams. Only 10% of exam questions are new.

Fairly easy class with interesting material. Some questions on the exams are worded a bit tricky. Lots of memorization. If you have a good memory and go to lecture, you should be fine.

he was probably my favorite professor so far, but the class is definitely not easy. all the tests include random questions that were never taught in class/found in the book. interesting at times, but don't expect to have an automatic A at all.

Dear God this class is boring. Honestly my least favorite class I have ever taken. If you're not actually interested in nutrition, I would not recommend it. But if you do end up taking it... take the practice tests online and memorize the answers. A good portion of the exam comes straight from there.

This class got me more interested in nutrition with the material, but I was upset because he can be damn tricky on the exams. The practice exams help a LOT. He has a really dry sense of humor, I don't think many got it or were awake for it. Really helpful in his office hours.

If you take the practice exams online, the actual exams are easier. You still have to know your stuff, but you will be able to whiz through parts of it.

Exams are not bad at all if you look over your lecture notes and go over the practice exams and past exams.

This class is alright as long as you read the book, the lectures are exactly out of the book. Do the practice exams because they are very similar to the exams and looking over older exams helps also. Overall good teacher, but very very boring!!

I loved the class; mostly because the subject is useful. The book and his lectures are word for word the same, but the lectures aren't all that bad, just be prepared to write a bit without many notes from him. He's funny in his own way, I definitely enjoyed his sense of humor. Tests are tricky for some odd reason - do the practice tests. Yeah Pete!

Great teacher and topic. I really enjoyed the class and would take another course with him if possible. STUDY ALL OF THE PRACTICE TESTS ONLINE. Very helpful materials. Do not bother buying the book. The tests are solely based on lecture.

Very organized lectures. Will review the previous day's lecture in a nutshell the next lecture period, which helps if you miss one. Don't buy the textbook as he says everything that it says. He is a funny guy.

Very knowledgeable. Good class overall, though the book and lecture were nearly identical. Still, the lectures were always worthwhile as he boiled everything down to the key points. Highly recommend this class

good guy

He is one of the better lecturers I've seen at Madison. His handwriting needs improvement, especially when students are trying to write words they are hearing for the first time in their notes, but he tells you everything you need to know for the exams. Great class if you have any interest in your own health.

Tests can be very tricky, awesome guy

Pete is chill! He helped write the text book, which has a lot of typos, but the advantage is that his notes are WORD FOR WORD what is in the text, so if you miss class just do the reading. His notes were clear, and mostly to the point. His exams are all multiple choice, and everything on the exams is covered at some point. Use online tools!!!!!!!

I liked the class and the content. The tests were rather easy, but tricky at the same time. I recommend this class if you want to learn more about nutrition. It's kind of easy, but at the same time, if you don't put some effort into the class, you will find it more challenging.

stutters a little, but overall really clear expectations. book not very useful cuz it covers the same stuff as lecture. study guides and previous midterms put on learn@uw were very helpful...lots of same questions on the tests.

Since he co-wrote the book, many lectures are word-for-word from the the text. Tests are all multiple choice, get to drop 1 of 3 midterms, optional discussion. Definitely not hard to get a good grade if you put some effort in and actually care at all about nutrition. He does move at kind of a fast pace though.

Coming from a guy who pretty much sucks at and hates anything science related, I actually really like this class. I think it actually teaches you a lot, and even though an A is not the easiest thing to get, it's worth it to take it. Definitely one of my favorite and most useful classes I've taken. Not a lot of work either. I'd recommend it.

Pete's a good professor. He knows his stuff and cares about his students. The tests really are that hard especially if u understand the material and do the past exams. U DON'T have to be a "science person" just willing to work a little. No cake walk, but still a fun and easy science class, especially if u like the topic.

Tests are NOT that hard. Sorry.

easy if you go to lectures and memorize old exams

The book is useless UNTIL the post-third midterm topics. I lost many points on the final because it was half of the final but he only explained it in two weeks. Read the book for those sections, but otherwise just keep up in lecture -- which is EXTREMELY boring though! It's an easy class and really useful and fun.

Test questions are very tricky, very specific. Otherwise, a fun class, good professor

Should be an easy class. Just go to lecture even though its hard to stay awake. READ THROUGH PREVIOUS EXAMS ON LEARN@UW!! there are TONS of questions on the current exams from there.

Mr. Anderson is a very nice man, the class isn't that hard to understand and he teaches right from the book so reading is only necessary for studying material....he kinda talks like christopher walken, and goes thorough material at a fast pace, the only compliant i have about him is a superfical one...he sweats ALOT

Pete is the kind of guy that although I've never spoken to, I feel like he's my uncle. Lecture consists mostly of 50 minutes of writing down exactly what he puts on the chalkboard, but then come exam time and if you've gone to every class, you should get an A on the test. The textbook is a waste of money, since he wrote it and lectures out of it.

The class is supposed to be really easy, but I found the exams to be incredibly random at times. You feel like you did well, but you end up not.

This is actually a really interesting class. I wanted a pretty easy science class to fill requirements, and this is a great one. If you just study the material a day or two before the tests, you are totally fine, and he reuses lots of questions from old tests. He wrote the textbook, so if you miss lecture, its not that big of a deal.

Interesting to listen to. Although his tests always seem to have a few questions on material I've never seen.

very easy course with pretty interesting and useful material. teaches straight out of textbook, so either don't go to class or don't buy the book. do practice exams...half of the questions are exactly the same!

Really knows what he's talking about. But he talks SUPER FAST. I'd recommend bringing a computer to class when he lectures. Gives a lot of extra information, but as long as you get the general idea of the concepts you'll do fine. GO TO LECTURE when he's speaking, he presents a ton of info and it's hard to make up

An amazing professor, totally passionate about what he is teaching and very clear about it. The tests are almost so easy it hurts. Read the book once (or attend lecture, don't do both) and you will get at LEAST a B on them. Do both, and you will have an A no question. I wish I would have made it to more lectures because he is so great to listen to.

Lectures straight from textbook, lecture is basically unimportatn

I took this class online and as long as you are motivated enough to not fall behind, it's interesting and easy enough! He teaches right out of the book, so that makes it easier! Make sure to do all the practice exams, and MEMORIZE them... most of the questions are straight off of them. The final is kind of hard though! Overall, a good class.

People who think this class is hard are out of their mind. If you have half a brain and can figure out that most mid-term questions are from old tests, the exams are cake. I dropped the first test and got 98s on the following two. The final is more challenging because there are no practice questions and the pregnancy material is very detailed.

DO THE PRACTICE TESTS - ALL OF THEM! if you do you'll find 50% of the questions on the midterms (if not more) are the exact same. (the final is a diff story - only maybe a few are the same on that)

His Lectures were alright. He knows what he's talking about thats for sure. Practace tests online saved me every time - do them all (even the old ones). His outlines are helpful too to study from

EXTREMELY boring lectures. I didn't pick up the book until before the final and it helped a little. Tests cover ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from lectures. Study previous tests he makes available online- it's the only way to pass! 4 tests, no reading, no discussion.

Pete is the man! Honestly, this class is a breeze. Anyone who gives Pete a bad rating shouldn't be at Madison. Listen to his study tips..they work!! Also, do the online exams..a lot of the questions will be on your exam. I recommend reading the book before going to lecture. Not necessary but helps you pay more attention. Take this class!!

The lectures are very clear, and he wrote the textbook so it basically just repeats what he says in class (which can be helpful if you miss lecture or if you need extra review on something). Most people don't go to the optional discussion. The online practice tests help A LOT. Pete is a cool guy, too- he's teaching 1000 kids but keeps it fun.

Not hard to do well in this class as long as you study sufficiently. He doesn't try to trick you in exams and because he wrote the book, you don't necessarily need to go to class. Overall, a good class.

Lectures were interesting and informative. They were quick paced but easy to follow. Exams were difficult. Must know the information to do well, not a coaster class.

This class is definately not the "easy A" that people claim but it won't rip you apart either. Study. Read the book. take the practice exams!!! The book and lecture are pretty much the same so lecture attendance is really not all that important. The tests aren't difficult but you always end up getting more wrong than you think you did.

The material is fairly easy and he's willing to help students as much as possible.

easy A. Awesomeness class. Very helpful and interesting. Take the online course.

The class is easy if you go to lectures and read the book. He wrote the book so lectures are pretty similar to the readings, but sometimes he throws in information that isn't in the book so I would go to class.

You don't need the book if you go to lecture. They are literally the same word for word.

This class is not easy, not hard but frustrating. Anderson's handwriting on the board is not legible. The text book is actually a joke. He wrote it himself. it is repetitive and has so many typos...all in all just horribly written.

Definitely not an easy A. The class only has 3 midterms, one you can drop, and a final. He will question you on anything, and everything. Questions are tricky and oddly worded, so they can be confusing. Know your stuff. He is definitely very passionate and knowledgable on the subject. He makes it interesting.

This class is an easy BC and by no means an easy A. Averages for each of the 3 exams were in the 70's-80's and the curve is hardly helpful. Textbook is riddled with irritating typos for such an expensive book. Do the reading and you'll be fine with a B. Go to lecture and do the reading and you should do better. NOT AN EASY A, lots of studying!

I barely ever went to lecture b/c the professor wrote the textbook..definitely not an easy class, especially if you only want science credit. A LOT of memorization about little details & tests are not easy but i pulled off a B when i realized how much i had to study. definitely look over the old tests he uses many similar questions on the new exams

The way he presented the material was pretty straight forward, but the exams were pretty difficult. NOT AN EASY A.

Very easy science class! Exam questions are 90% from the past exams that he posts on learn@uw, so just memorize those and you're golden. Pete is very knowledgeable! Lectures follow the book to a T. He wrote it...

DON'T BUY THE BOOK! If you go to lecture you will never need it. The class(Nutri Sci) is easy.

If you go to class regularly, you will find that you won't be needing the book that much until Finals come. He's funny at times and taught at a good pace and gives some good tips for studying for the course. Hand writing is a little messy, and he does repeat information from tiem to time. Tests are an easy B but a hard A

Study the practice Exmas at the Learn @UW because a huge chunk of the questions on his test come from there. Really straight-forward material to learn, but the tests are not as easy as you'd expect them to be.

The exams will catch you off guard and he rushes through lecture. I often felt lecture to be pointless and very unorganized.Dont go in thinking that this class is easy because you will end up very behind and the exams will bite you in the butt.

online section is easy! everything he says is exactly the same in the book so either read or listen to the lectures. also, the midterms have about 60% of the questions word for word on the midterm so study those! the final is a little tough but doable.

Pete has been my best college prof so far. He is clear, enthusiastic, and loves teaching. Exams are 60% old questions which he gives you to practice. Don't bother buying the textbook if you plan on going to lecture everyday-he wrote the book so the stuff is the same. Overall easy Bio Sci class with minimal work.

He is a very clear lecturer and the subject matter is interesting. The book is terribly written and I would say optional. I don't see why everyone says the class is hard- all you need to do is do the practice exams. So many of the questions are reused. Overall, I enjoyed the class and found it to be very applicable do my and others lives.

132 is probably more difficult than it should be. Pete's a decent lecturer. If you read the book and use the practice exams, you should get a decent grade. The fact that the book is the same as the lecture is a little irritating, but use it as an opportunity to review.

I liked Pete Anderson. He's genuinely passionate about nutrition, and his exams are very similar to the practice tests he provides. The book is poorly written, and with lots of typos, but it's not difficult to understand. It is an easy A if you attend class and do the practice tests.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY THE TEXTBOOK NEW. Pete Anderson puts in purposeful typos so that he can realease a new edition every year and make more money. I REPEAT BUY A USED TEXTBOOK FOR $100 CHEAPER. Having said that, if you go to class and use the review sheets/past exams on you will get A's on the exams.

Pete is a very passionate lecturer who makes the material interesting to learn about. The most helpful piece of advice I can give for his class is to do all of the practice exams in preparation for his exams, which are very manageable if this is done.

So easy to do well in this class. Buying the book is pointless because he basically recites it in his lecture.

Pete is a great professor. 3 midterms and a final, but the final is only half cumlative, and you get to drop your lowest midterm grade. He talks fast during lecture,so be quick with note taking. He writes the textbook himself and basically recites it in class.you can tell he really cares about the subject.really great guy if you get to know him.

Midterms are fairly easy. Study old exams, because many of the questions are word for word the same. Really make sure you understand the whole concept of things for the final. The lecture is basically just a re-explanation of the book. I found it was good to read and attend lecture for double exposure.

Pete was kinda boring. He has a lot of questions on his midterms that came directly from old exams that you can study. I studied for tests the night before and never read the textbook and managed a B. It should've been an easy A if I put in a little more effort. Super easy material and class.

Pete was kinda boring. Most people do not go to lectures, or listen when they are there, however, he loves what he teaches. Tests have questions directly from practices tests so do them. Lots of useful material and very useful for your life. Great class.

If you take this class my recommendations would be 1. don't buy the book and attend every lecture. you will save money because they are exactly the same. 2. do the practice exams online because many of the questions are repeated. If you put moderate effort into this class you will get at least a B.

Pete recycles old exam questions, so you can study off of old exams. All multiple choice. He wrote the book, so attending the lecture is exactly the same as reading the book. VERY easy class.

Pretty boring. Super easy to get a B. Fairly challenging to get an A but is definitely possible. I wouldnt take this first semester freshman year

Enthusiasm was infectious.

I personally loved this class! I am a first semester Freshman, and this was my favorite course. Lectures were very helpful, and his notes were very well laid out. Discussion was optional, I never went. Midterms were simple and fair. I never had to open the book, so it was unfortunate that I had to buy it for the online homework.

Man, this class could be so interesting if it wasn't structured like every other college course out there. The material is very useful for life, but the way Pete lectured on it was boring, and his textbook was awful and unnecessary outside of the code for online homeworks (which were stupid and didn't really help at all). You should be okay here.

Easy class but the textbook and the online homework aren't very useful at all. The homework ends up being a tedious chore, but you have to do it if you want your "free" 5%. Take the class online. Overall the class was interesting.

Lectures could be boring, but he is a genuinely nice guy who cares about his students. I never looked at the book once, but had to purchase it to access the online homework. The homework was kind of pointless, but easy to do. The exams are all multiple choice. If you do the practice exams and memorize a lot of the questions, you should do well.

Great guy and really helpful at office hours. Really boring and uninteresting class for me though even I can imagine people find it interesting. Keep up reading the books and go over notes and you will get a good grade for sure.

I'm surprised other people are rating him so low! I was not a science person at all but took this class for the biological credits. Easy. Easy exams, easy online homework. Lectures word for word from the book so either go to class or read the textbook. Quite an interesting class.

This is a very easy class to take. He wrote the textbook required so lecture and reading are pretty much the same. Homework is online and extremely easy He gives 3 exams and a cumulative final. Most test questions are posted online. Good teacher to take!

The class is easy if you either read the textbook or go to lecture. His lectures are kind of dry, and I get the impression that he has taught the class so many times that he doesn't remember if he teaches certain concepts. Homework is worth 5% and is based on completion--it takes a lot of time. Easiest bio course that you could get at Madison.

Pete is THE MAN. Take this class. It's easy, he's a super cool guy, and you'll actually learn a lot about nutrition. Recommended.

I loved this class! It was straightforward and you were given all the materials you needed to succeed. He wrote the book so basically either you go to class or you read and you'll be fine. There are online homework assignments, which are a bit annoying, for every chapter and 3 midterms (lowest dropped). Overall, worth my while and I'd recommend

The material is very straight forward. Nothing but memorizing. Still there is a curb and because the material is easy, the curb can be pretty rough. Get a few questions wrong on a midterm and your grade drops quite a bit. Material is useful in a because you understand what foods are good for you and why. Quite rewarding in that sense.

Class work-load is extremely light and non-stressful. It is all memorization and multiple choice. Still, the exams are trickier than you think. I got an A without reading the book at all, but then going to lecture helped a lot. It would be hard to get below a B in class period.

Terrible grading scale, got a 96% on the first midterm and still got an AB. He makes the tests ridiculously easy and still grades on a curve. Pretty hard to get below a B, but still pretty hard to get an A.

I took this class because everyone said it was easy. All you had to do was memorize the previous exams and you would get an A. HE CHANGED ALL OF THE TESTS. Only about 50% of the questions are recycled questions now. Never learned anything in lecture. Just reviewed homework and past tests to study. Still will probably get a B.

Easiest class I have ever had. I probably only went to class about 10 times and got an A. Class can be painfully boring so don't bother going. If you skip a lot, at least try to study an hour before the final though.

Pete is an absolute LEGEND. Amazing guy and he knows what he is talking about. The man, the myth the legend, Pete Anderson. Take the class if you want an easy A. Just read the book and do the practice exams. Pete loves you and loves your GPA.

content in class is interesting, but some facts are outdated. stick with what he teaches rather than what new medical studies find

Despite all the negative comments on this page, I do think NS 132 is a class which differentiates students who are genuinely interested in the study of nutrition and others are lured by the hearsay of "GPA booster class". Nevertheless, do your homework and read the textbook frequently. In addition, attend the lectures and you will do great!

He is super nice though!

You don't have to show up to lecture, and these people are off. It's at least an easy AB.

Ignore the other comments about NS 132. I'm a freshman and it's not tough at all. Go to lectures and do the readings and the class isn't hard. I'm getting an AB and don't have to study very hard at all. On his website he has old exams which are exactly what he bases his current exam from, he even has some of the same questions on them.

This class isn't necessarily an easy A, it requires work to do well on the exams but overall its a fairly stress free class. There are lengthy but easy online homework assignments for each chapter and a super easy nutritional analysis assignment. He posts old exams online and some questions appear on current exams. Lectures tend to be unorganized.

Big fan of this dude. Super chill, has been doing it for years. Really easy course (Nutr132) when I took it. Practice exams are clutch, utilize them. He's an old guy that understands you're in college so he's a bro about relatively everything. Overall, he's a great teacher and people who argue against that probably didn't show up to class ever.

Pete's class is interesting and he's very passionate about the subject but be prepared for tricky test questions that are very specific. You won't do well on tests just by simply attending lecture or doing the online homework. Lots of extra work is necesarry to do well on Pete's tests. Overall he's a cool professor.

This class is no longer an easy A, he literally switched up his whole curriculum. Homework assignments are long and boring. However, if you're interested in nutrition, this class is for you. DON"T TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT AN EASY GRADE

The class is very information heavy but by paying attention in lecture and going over past exams one can get a very easy hold on the material. The assignments are hard and one is better googling the information, but if you pay attention to the classes it's much better. Overall nice teacher that makes sure lecture doesn't go over time, makes it fun.

Professor Anderson is really knowledgable and passionate in his field, and that comes through in lectures. If you go to class, you do not need to read. He doesn't include things that were in the book but not in lecture, so don't waste your time. The homework is annoying, but the project and the tests are really simple. Easy science credit.

Pete is well known at UW but this class is a toss up. He is funny and very knowledgeable but the class is definitely not an easy A anymore. Never really read the book but you have to buy (its expensive) if you want to do the homework. Homework takes a while but you get a 100 on it as long as you complete it. Tests are straight memorization: so hard

I have to admit, the class is fairly dry, and his handwriting is very messy. I would not say it is an easy grade, at least do the practice exams several times and memorize all his lecture notes will get you an AB.... Pointless homework, nothing is relevant.

I thought Pete was a clear, organized professor. I knew exactly what was expected of me and there wasn't a whole lot of grey area. This class honestly changed my health habits and I would recommend it to anyone, especially freshmen as it is easy if you put some time into it.

Pete is great at lecturing, but is a bit unorganized and zany. However, he is a nice guy and very willing to help and answer questions. Take the practice exams online before the real exams. Most information for exams is NOT from the textbook, and he will tell you that as well. Lectures get boring, but can be applied to real life.

Pete is honestly the nicest guy. The lectures that get into the chemistry and bio (there aren't many) get a little boring but its hard to make that stuff interesting. The rest is really interesting, and even though he isn't the most organized guy, he is fun to listen to and if you ever have questions he would be happy to answer them. Cutest guy.

Really easy class. Lectures are interesting enough, and he has optional discussions. Keeps material easy enough for an intro class and is very flexible if you need test accommodations. Awesome Guy. Easy bio sciences credit.

Great guy. Tests aren't easy, but they are definitely fair. He's a bit scatterbrained but gets all of the necessary information through to his class.

Pete is great, and he's so passionate & intelligent!

Pete is awesome! Super nice guy, lectures can sometimes be boring but everything you need to know he says. Tests are not that hard, just do the practice exam and the post exams because he uses a lot of the same questions! Readings are not that important, but helps you know whats coming in lecture.

Pete is a good guy who is genuinely passionate about what he teaches. He is always more than willing to help students and willing to discuss personal concerns. This class is not hard at all if you read and attend his lectures. Studying old tests really helps, too! He makes all the resources very accessible and is very straight forward. Great class!

Overall good class, and Petes a nice guy. Make sure to do the old exams he posts, because a lot of the questions will be repeated on the new exam.

Dr. Anderson is a good lecturer. I enjoyed the class, and if you miss a lecture and have someone to get notes from, you'll be fine. It's very clear what you're expected to complete, and there's not too much work to do outside of class other than some online homework assignments. The exams are not too hard either, and the lowest midterm is dropped.

Pete's lectures are good, he writes everything on the chalk board and goes through it well. There's a ton of info in this course and I like how he presented it

If you're thinking about taking a class with Pete, do it. I think the overall rating of him isn't a good reflection. Petes a nice guy, teaches well - but this class will probably be a lot harder than you expect a for a nutri sci class; which is where I think the low rating of him comes from.

Good class, good professor, but be ready to put in a good amount of work to do well

Took this as an easy science credit and quickly realized it is not an easy science credit. However, Petes a nice guy who cares about his students

I love Pete! He is a funny guy who gives good lectures. The class is relatively easy, just go to class OR read the textbook, remember to do the online assignments which are graded only on completion. The tests are not easy, but you can definitely get a high B at least with decent studying and taking the old tests he sends out for practice.

All the reviews which stated how expensive the textbook was are false. I got the text book online (as pete suggested) for $90. Pete is a very good professor who makes it very clear how to do well in his class. One of my favorite classes I've ever taken at the UW

I leaned more useful information in this class then probably any other in my undergraduate experience to this point. It was not that hard, but did require you to study for the exams. Just take the practice exams and visit your TA once before each midterm and you will have no problem getting at least a high B on the midterms

Guide to getting an A in Nutrisci 132: Go to most lectures (Tophat questions are graded but you only need 60% correct throughout year), dont forget to do all online homeworks (even though they take forever but super easy), Midterms-DEVOTE MOST OF YOUR TIME TO STUDYING PAST TESTS! If you study every single available past Tests questionA & do review

Don't take this class unless you have to or are interested in nutrition. I really enjoyed the class and found it interesting. As long as you study really hard for the exams/go to lecture, you'll do fine. Take the practice ones over and over (consider memorizing questions that frequently show up across test or that you get wrong, they are verbatim)

Since this class is online, you definitely need to keep up with the lectures and class work. Tests are pretty decent, no tricks.

Pete is a great professor who is really passionate about what he does. There is a lot of reading in the textbook, but if you read it and take notes, it will help you understand the lectures much more. If you go to class and read the book, you should be able to easily get an A.

The lectures are kind of dry, but try to go to them because I find them a little more interesting than reading the textbook. Read the textbook for stuff you didn't understand in lecture. When preparing for the tests, just take all the past exams he has posted on the class site, because a good 70% of the questions are re-used.

Pete is the best!! Really sparked my interest in nutrition. Great class if you're undecided!

Do all practice tests online because the real tests are mostly based off those repeated questions. Review sessions before tests are helpful. Homework can be time consuming, but only every once in a while. Pete's a funny guy who is passionate about the subject, his home garden, and his bike that he rides to work everyday. Generally liked the class.

Pete is a classic case of great guy, OK teacher. I needed to reschedule an exam due to a family emergency, and he was personal and sympathetic. Tests roughly reflect what's learned in lecture. Use the tests from past semesters,take practice quizzes, and go to the TA discussion sections and the test reviews. Info is informational and practical.

Pete is a super great guy, but his lectures are typical. They aren't overly fascinating or overly boring. The homework was annoying and the textbook was never tested, but I would definitely go to lecture or else you will not succeed. Tests weren't bad but use all of the available material (past exams, notes, review guides) to study.

Nutri Sci is easy if you pay attention in class and make sure to take notes from the book on your own. One of the exams gets dropped but try hard on the first ones. Many of the questions from the practice midterms he gives you are used on your actual midterm.

Tests compromise your grade, but they're soooo easy. As long as you go to lecture, you know what info is gonna be covered on the exam. Obviously the midterms have a lot of info on them, but 80% of the questions are recycled from old exams- this class is a no-brainer. And although pete sometimes went out of order in lecture, he made the info easy

HW was time consuming for only being worth 7%, textbook was stupid expensive for what it's worth. For an A: Go to lecture every day. Read the book & retake notes before the exam. Study from old exams (recycled exam questions are used a LOT). Go to reviews. The material really isn't that hard if you actually try. Pete is nice, wish he did powerpoint

Nice prof, easy to meet with outside class, clear what you need to know and comes with an online textbook. He writes all his lectures on the chalkboard so if you miss you have to get notes from someone or take book notes which are not always the same info he wants you to know. Go to lecture, take good notes, study for the exams and you'll do fine.

Has hilarious outfits. Lectures are all done on the chalk board. Pretty typical guy.

Pete is a funny man who makes nutrition interesting - most of the time. It is challenging to follow his notes in class, as he often just writes words or phrases on the chalkboard without much explanation. The class overall is well organized and very straightforward. He is very approachable and understanding.

Pete was an amazing professor. He is really passionate about what he teaches and obviously has a lot of personal experience. What is said in lectures is on the tests so take good notes. The book isn't necessary and the homework is a bit time consuming but Pete made it worth it! 10/10 want to take his class again!

Pete was so sweet. You could tell he really cared about the class. In general, almost everything he lectures on is in the book so attendance isn't really mandatory. All exams were almost exact replicas of the past tests he posts online so use those. Pretty science heavy so beware of that.

Prof Pete is a great guy. He has written the textbook himself so most of the stuff in his lecture matches the textbook. DO the past question papers before the exam, they compromise of 80% of the questions. The final exam is way harder, so read the textbook really well . Attending lectures makes it easier to remember and study the material.

An amazing person and clearly very passionate about nutrition. Lectures are entertaining and easy to follow. Test questions are heavily graded off of old exams and stuff said in lectures so its so important to go and take good notes. This class requires a good amount of studying, but its very passable and really interesting.

The class itself is pretty easy to score if you go to the lecture and read the textbook. Assignments are not heavy at all. 3 midterms but only 2 are counted for final grade. All in all, chill class and easy to get an A.

Interesting class. Great professor. The lectures may get a little bit boring at times, but Pete is an awesome professor. He's very knowledgable and very experienced. He can answer almost any question you have. My only thing is the lecture was super large, so it was difficult to participate and make yourself known, but overall I'd recommend it.

There are like 3 100 question online assignments due every week which are easy but annoying because exam's don't test that material. The exams only test lecture material and always have some trick questions or questions that seem to ask about material that he never talked about. He posts no lecture notes so you are forced to go to class every day

Pete is a really awesome guy but the structure of the class wasn't ideal. We had to buy a very expensive textbook to do the HW which was graded on completion but it's like 100 questions that aren't even relevant to test material. He doesn't post lectures, so you pretty much have to go to class. I learned a lot, but the tests had tricky questions

You can get an A in this class if you put in effort. Just show up to lecture and take good notes. Lectures move fast and Pete has poor handwriting so just try to keep up. Utilize the practice exams because many questions on the midterms are the exact same. Make a quizlet to study and read the textbook if you miss lecture and you'll be fine.

Pete is a good, friendly professor who is passionate about nutrition. He assigns homework for every chapter online, graded on participation, and content is usually not tested. Exams are the bulk of the grade, with 3 midterms and a final. Study the practice exams online and review lecture notes (only lecture material is tested) and you'll do fine.

This class & Pete are not nearly as bad as students make it out to be. Tests are pretty much the same as the practice exams and review slides fill in the gaps. Even casually listening to the lectures and taking a few notes will get you 90s on the exams.

Online Section. Watch the lectures and take the practice exams and youll do fine. Dont bother reading the textbook- the exams are based on lecture material. Assigned homework was tedious but relatively easy.

(132 Online) Anderson was a good lecturer and you can tell he's passionate about nutrisci. I had a friend taking the in-person class while I was taking it online and through comparison, they were pretty much the same. The lectures are a bit long when they're posted online, but if you break them up they're manageable. Overall, great class and useful

Course is pretty doable if youre not into science, and honestly pretty interesting. Homework is extremely tedious and honestly just busy work as none of the material appears on exams. Exams can be tricky so study old exams he provides.

He seems super nice and chill. I took the class online. The tests were very challenging, but the overall course work isn't too bad. It's definitely not an easy A science class for non science majors.

This class was great if you really want to know about nutrition, but it was very hard. Readings and assignments didnt correlate to what the tests questioned you on, so STUDY OLD EXAMS! Pete isnt necessarily the best professor, but hes an expert and I think grudge aside he does want you to learn and have fun with it.
