She is pretty nice. Doesn't encourage the use of textbook enough since she never uses it; this is problematic for many reasons. Doesn't encourage class participation at all. Mostly just talks the whole 3 hours about her subject but doesn't really teach much. You have to teach yourself by reading textbook. She is also VERY preachy.

She is a nice person. But she gets distracted very easily and she is all over the place with lecture. The class covers a lot of information and most of it you are going to have to teach yourself.

If you're looking for an easy class, this isn't it. But don't let that scare you from taking a great course if you have any interest in science and/or nutrition. You def need your book because you have to read every word and understand/build upon for next chapters. Gaete is fun, happy and interactive. Power points & ur notes will help u at home.

Overall Mrs. Gaete is a good teacher but for me she is too motherly and nurturing. During lectures, she goes off topic all the time and talks about quinoa. She focuses more on how to make healthy food choices, not on the course material. Lots of mini quizes that help. The tests are OK but definitely need to study for them.

I was thrown off by my expectations of what general nutrition was. I was not thinking it to be about food and how it reacts with your body. I was more thinking about it being about flavoring food. I did learn a lot from this class which I should have taken it years ago in high school. That would probably have set me up for better health overall.

I loved this professor took her for an 8 week course for general nutrition online. Everything is based off the text book which makes it so your grade is based off of you. For the amount of weeks you have the amount of homework is fair I would say. Professor is very kind and willing to listen if you need help or have questions.

I did the class online as an 8 week course. Professor Gaete is very nice and gives great feedback. Her work can be time consuming however, she is understanding. Do the work and you will do well. There is a quiz every week, get a partner for takeaway assignments!, 1 paper towards the end, and a final exam that is simple.

Great class! Professor Gaete is easy to reach and nice. I took her class online so we had a meeting every week where she went over the assignments which was helpful. Also having a partner is helpful for assignments too.

Professor Gaete was a very good professor and her course was well laid out from the first week. She outlines what is expected and how each week will go, so it's very easy to get the work done. She is very kind when it comes to turning in work and tries to help all her students in whatever they need.

Took Professor Gaete as an 8-week course and the workload was manageable and fair for it being accelerated. The only downside of this class was the takeaways taking to much time and felt like it could be made shorter. However, the class was not difficult and she is really generous to students on late work and offers extra credit.

Shes very unorganized & unclear when it comes to assigning assignments/homework. She talks too much about her personal life. Lots of group work. However she was not a harsh grader, she offers extra credit & accepts late work.

I genuinely enjoyed being in her class. She cares about her students and what she's teaching. Yes there are a lot of group projects but she really isn't a harsh grader at all. She gives really helpful tips for eating cleaner and healthier. She's understanding and accepts late work. Ignore negative reviews tbh. Just make an effort and you'll pass:))

Tbh this class was too much for a 3-credit online class. With all of the other classes you're taking. This class just feels like you're stubbing your toe multiple times, its so easy to get behind

Mrs. Gaete has been a wonderful professor. I truly appreciate how clear and well-organized this course has been. All the information is easy to access. It is a very manageable and easy class as long as time and effort are put into the work. Whenever I have questions, she is always willing to clarify and support her students. Overall a great class!

I quite enjoyed this class and the teacher is kind. There was a time where I made a mistake on an assignment so she left a comment explaining why I got a bad grade and she let me turn it in again! She accepts late work and is helpful with assignments. 100% recommend.

I really enjoyed this professor. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and teaches information you can actually use in real life. The projects and writing are manageable, not overwhelming. She uses Kahoot reviews before tests, which makes class fun. Quizzes and exams are online, and the textbook is online with a provided link. It was helpful.
