• Loved this course. 50% of the grade was made up of weekly quizzes that you could retake with unlimited attempts and the other 50% was an in-person final. Definitely a bird course even with the 50% in-person written final. The final lets you have a double-sided cheat sheet and it follows the final's questions follow the exact same flow and order as the course units. If you put in some effort to studying and making a good cheat sheet for the final, this is probably the easiest 90%+ I've taken.

• Taken F25, 4 term tests (11% each) and a 6% intro quiz with a 50% exam (new to this year sadly). She uses the term tests as a study tool for practice, so you can do them as many times as you want over the course of the week it is open. Exam has double sided cheat-sheet. Dr. Duncan is actually amazing, like genuinely the best prof I have ever met so I would always recommend this course. It is formatted so well, the content is interesting, and she tests in a very fair way because she truly wants you to succeed. Finished with a 100 :)

• One of my most favourite courses I've taken. It was so interesting to learn about the micronutrients and all of the real life effects they have. Prof Robin Duncan has made one of the most organized and informational courses, everything is laid out for you in the lecture videos and she even has additional notes under each slide. Online in F25 had to have a final exam worth 50%, along with 4 online tests (11% each) throughout the term plus an introductory online test (6%). Don't let the final scare you though, you get a cheat sheet and some of the questions are taken straight from the quizzes so study those again. Would definitely recommend to take this.

• VERY USEFUL, VERY EASY. I read the textbook but it is NOT necessary at all but if you have MCAT or something the book will review all the biochemical and gastrointestinal physiology quite in depth so you'll be ready. But the whole course was about vitamins and micro/macro nutrients and it was very well structured. With like MAX 30 mins/week you can finish the course with a 90+ easily. I personally started reading for the final like 30 hours before it and ended the course with a 97.4. Dr. Duncan is a very fair test taker and god bless her. we need more teacher like her.

• Taken fall 2025: new this year we had an in person final exam worth 50% but we had a double sided cheat sheet (standard paper sized) that you could type on. The other 50% was made up of 4 online open book tests + 1 intro quiz, that you could do multiple times for the week that each of them were open and be marked for the highest grade. The final had many repeat questions from the quizzes which made it even easier. The professor Robin Duncan is also just a really great instructor and taught the content in an engaging way. Because of the way it is formatted most people likely went into the final with already a 50% so with the cheat sheet I'm sure the average is quite high. Overall, easy but…
