  • As of Fall 2022, when this course was taught by Prof. Stark, the course content did not align with the course description. The focus was 1/3 on proteins, fibers, and carbohydrates, 1/3 on fats, and 1/3 analyzing random research papers. There was no discussion on nutrition & exercise or nutrition & disease. If you have taken KIN 343 or 446 you likely won't gain much from this class.

  • Lots of contents but very interesting

  • Content was fairly interesting and applicable. As a biology student, most of the information was review and/or extremely simplified concepts learned in into bio and biochem. I put in very little work to this course and did very well. Overall would recommend if you are looking for a course that you will enjoy AND will boost the GPA.

  • Good and useful content. Boring lectures. Warning: lots of memorization
