Great course
by Gianni Z. on February 13, 2025
Very heavy and detailed course with a decent final project.
by Anaya H. on February 13, 2025
This course was not hard, it had pretty easy learning, not too complicated. I learned a lot about nutrition from this course and I enjoyed learning most of it. I have never taken a nutrition class before so this was a lot of brand new information, and I think it will help me make smarter food choices in my life. There was an image in the final milestone that did not show up for me, it was essential for answering the question with even an idea about which answer was right. I had to literally guess an answer and that was frustrating because I would have known the answer if I could have seen the image. A similar problem happened in a practice milestone. Anyway, I did like the class and I thought it gave me some good nutritional knowledge.
