Reviews of professor Katherine Mellen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is knowledgable but her lectures are not very interesting and drag on. I learned more from her pre-lectures than I did her live lectures. She will have TopHat questions during the lecture graded based on participation though so still make sure to show up for class. Not flexible when it comes to participation, due dates, and exam make ups.

Terrible professor, assigns additional lectures outside of class on top of the 1 hour and 15 minute lectures twice a week. The content isn't even hard, she just asks really random and stupid questions on the exams that we didn't go over in lectures or in the readings. It's really hard to know what to memorize because she asks such random questions.

I thought she was a really good professor and I enjoyed the class, but the exams were difficult. I usually felt confident in the content she presented in class and still got slightly above the average on the exams. The high for most of the exams was only 90%. Diet analysis projects are hard to get a good grade on.

This class was extremely boring and the lectures were a drag. The tests were extremely hard and the material was dry. Her exams require you to know a lot of detail about everything. The diet analysis reports are graded very harshly and there is no curve or extra credit. I would suggest taking this class with someone else or at a community college.

Each lecture the life is sucked out of me. Do not take this class unless you have to. You think you know the material until you get to the exams and they might as well be in a different language. Nice, but can be passive aggressive without trying to be.

Nutrition and Health is a class that is a lot harder than it sounds like it will be. Make sure you take notes on lectures and from the book and do all recommended assignments/reviews.

Very tough grader. I got points off because I said I ate one container of Chobani flips yogurt instead of the exact ounces on my diet analysis. Tests have multiple right answers and are all trick questions. Final exam was the biggest joke I've ever had to do. Take GOOD notes in lecture and memorize them all and you might get a B.
