Professor Algert is one of the most knowledgable people I've known. She knows more about nutrition than I ever thought possible. However, I don't think she knows how to communicate her knowledge to her students. This is a very BORING class, so be prepared. It usually took a full two hours, and consisted of her babbling on in a language that I obviously did not seem to understand. It's a good thing that her quizes (there are 5 of them, and you get to drop one), midterm (1 of them), 3 papers, and Final are straightforward if you study the power point notes she hands out in class. Acutally, if you get ahold of those notes, there's really no need for class at all...But, if you still think you oughta go, make sure to bring coffee and colored pens for dootling.

Dr. Algert is a really nice woman with whom I was very impressed. She knows a lot about what she's teaching and encourages discussion. She is quick to answer questions and is very sensitive to how the class is doing. Since this was a GE class, she tested on only the most important stuff that we needed to take away from this class. The study guides she gives out are more helpful than the text and she is always willing to help during office hours. I really think Dr. Algert wants you to succeed in this class. I took this to fulfill a GE but I really did learn a lot and think this was a good one to take

As a nutrition major, I enjoyed having such a knowledgable professor for this entry level nutrition course. Dr. Algert has a lot to offer and really likes her nutrition and kinesiology students. I felt that she was fair ingrading and on the additional assignments it was not too difficult to get an A. Being that this is my field of study I participated a lot and made syre she knew my name and I think it paid off. Even if you need to take this class for GE I think she is a good professor to get for 210 because she cares that you know the information and she does not want to fail anyone. Overall the class and the instructor was a good experience for me.

Algert should not be a teacher and that is the bottom line. She is so scatterbrained and hard to listen to. She wastes most classes with pointless videos and recipe presentations (which can be quite fun, but you learn nothing). She may have been a lot of places and learned a lot about nutrition and different cultures, but she has no skill in relaying that to others. Try to find a different teacher if you can.

She was a very nice lady. Everybody had to team up with a partner and make a ethnic dish to bring to class. That's basically what we did for the whole quarter, which was cool because I always got my lunch from that class. However, if the food presentations don't last the full two hours, she starts lecturing, and damn... she is the more boring lecturer I have ever encountered. Still a very nice lady though.

holy hell... this woman is an AWFUL lecturer. i seriously wanted to pull out my eyelashes one by one while listening to her drone on in her 2 hour lectures. half the class would leave at the hour break, which didn't seem to bother her. she puts the slides on blackboard, which is good if you plan on coming to class. (and trust me, you will skip class at SOME point) she's a pretty fair grader and the assignment's are very hard. i did the community service paper, rather than the 10 page research paper, and enjoyed my volunteering. basically, the class isn't tough, but GOD those lectures are horrendous!!!
