Reviews of professor Julie Nance

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nance is great and she gives amazing lectures and is clearly passionate about what she teaches. She is not the most flexible professor, meaning she knows what she wants and isn't likely to make exceptions, but that makes it very achievable to do well in her class. Her lecture material translates very well to her tests, and you will do well.

Prof. Nance is a very sweet woman. However, she refuses to lecture for the whole 50 min and rushes through lectures to finish in 35 minutes. There is so much material that she expects you to know, and doesn't take the full time to go over it. Tests are extremely difficult based on memorizing textbook. Also extremely heavy on bio and chem.

Prof. Nance knows what she's talking about, but teaching is not for everyone. She uses ppts that are SO full of info & adds more info that's not on the slides, but will test on it all so you have to know EVERY word she says. She says to watch the lectures & read the book & you'll be fine but her exams are like she's trying to trick you not test you

Her lectures while technically informational, are not useful for learning. Her grading criteria is unreasonably specific. And because her exams are open note, she feels at liberty to insert trick questions, and ask things that are far more advanced than she covers in class. I learned more about APA than I did about nutrition.

She is very kind and appears to be knowledgeable, but she refuses to acknowledge her own syllabus. She gave us three assignments due LDOC that MONDAY... eventually one was switched to extra credit. Honestly, I learned some, but she really grinds my gears. For her exams, just memorize everything on Mindtap and you'll be fine.

I dont know why anyone would rate Nance low! she was one of the most caring professors I have had. She got me excited about the info we were learning and was good at lecturing. The exams were not hard as long as you put the expected work in to study. Its not an EASY A per say but if you like the info you should have no problem getting an A.

Julie Nance really is an amazing professor. I have had her for both synchronous and asynchronous classes, and she is extremely qualified to teach both styles of classes. Her lectures are informative and dont waste time, she is available for office hours and outside of hours if you make an appointment, and she values curiosity more than anything.

Knowledgeable professor, this class is worth taking but it isn't easy. 4 section tests (open note), 1 5-min presentation, and an 8-10 page paper (work on parts throughout the semester). However, she's open to questions and student feedback. Tough grader sometimes, but I learned a lot from taking her class!
