I really enjoyed this class! We started off learning about the importance of exercise, then moved into vitamins, followed by the cardiovascular system (he dove pretty deep into the heart muscles and tubes). One of the bigger sections focused on carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The class is definitely memorization-heavy, and having a solid base at the start of each section will help a lot. I’m not great at science classes like chemistry and biology, but this class felt different—it’s more practical and focused on diet and exercise, which I loved. That said, it might be more challenging or less interesting for someone who’s not into that.

In terms of grading, there’s a midterm and a non-cumulative final, each worth 22% of your grade. You’ll also have two online lecture quizzes, three lab quizzes, and an overall project worth 22%. Attendance in both lecture and lab is mandatory. The final was online for us, which was nice.

If you stay on top of your studying throughout the quarter, an A is totally doable! One tip: even though I didn’t want to buy the professor’s book, I ended up needing it because he includes things in the exams that aren’t covered in lecture.

The required work, such as exams, was far more difficult than what was taught in class. The instructors barely explained anything and instead relied heavily on iClicker questions without actually teaching the concepts. What’s even worse is that if a student couldn’t score above 75% on the iClicker questions during the lecture (when the concepts were being introduced for the first time), they would lose attendance points.

I had the pleasure of taking Dr.Edison’s class last quarter, and I can’t recommend him enough! He was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also sweet, approachable, and always willing to help. His teaching style is so engaging that even the more challenging topics felt manageable. He truly cares about his students' success and makes the learning experience enjoyable and informative.
