She's great for audio learners; not so much visual. She teaches by telling stories, which can drag on sometimes, but there's usually quiz/exam answers mixed in there. Slides are mostly talking points for her, so don't rely on them for notes. Weekly quizzes are very helpful for exams! Lots of extra credit on quizzes, exams and for being present.

Super fun class, Ive taken multiple of Nancy's classes and each one is super fun. Pay attention in class because there are weekly quizzes and many of the questions will be on exams. She teaches using stories and her experiences in the industry and makes the class so much better

Terrible. If you took the quizzes next to NOTHING she taught was a part of quizzes. It was absolutely ridiculous and incredibly stressful. I have taken her class twice and I hated it both times. I studied so hard only to get screwed over because of her stupid quizzes. The time should be longer for quizzes due to the lack of material to prepare us!

Going to lectures is a must. She tells stories which helps you remember the material better. Easy quizzes every week, and the the exams are not hard as long as you study a little. Pretty much easy A if you bother going to class.

Dr. Irlbeck is one of the best professors at WSU. She is very knowledgeable and engaging! For someone who is not an AS major I can see how it is hard, but she is approachable and fun. Make sure you show up to class though, she tells lots of stories that are helpful. Also, lots os extra credit opportunities if you listen! Shes a great prof!

Nancy is a wonderful, passionate professor who teaches using stories and real examples. The quizzes are reasonable, though frequent, and based completely on the lectures (so make sure to attend!). Due dates with her are... apt to change, due to her flexible approach to lecturing. She's always happy to help students in small groups or one-on-one.

I had Dr. Irlbeck for summer session & you really learn a lot in just 6 weeks abt nutrition. Go to live lecture as it is important for the quizzes. Lots of extra credit in the quizzes/exams if youre fast enough, which is easy if you watched all the recorded lectures. Dr. Irlbeck is an amazing storyteller, so prepare for some great stories too!

Dr. Irlbeck is one of the very best professors at WSU. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition, easy to talk with, and very passionate about what she does. She is the reason that I am pursuing a career in nutrition! Her lectures are easy to follow if you attend class which is very important since most test material is from what she says in class.

Nancy is my favorite teacher at WSU she is always willing to work with me and meet with me whenever I need. I will continue to go out of my way to take her classes. She has made me want to go into nutrition. If you care about the subject you will do great. Go to class, she teaches with stories! (She also gives extra credit during class)

I do not like this professors teaching style and how she runs her class. It it very disorganized and in no way follows her syllabus. Does not follow through with what she says she is going to do. Very frustrating.

Always is changing dates and you never know when things are due. Will make due dates for over the weekend and our school mandated "Mental health days" where she is not allowed to make things due and go ahead and blame it on the class. Unproffesional

I've had Nancy for a few classes and she's awesome. She's very passionate about what she teaches and cares about the students too. 464 was a hard class with lots of writing and group work and you definitely have to work for your grade, but she was very supportive along the way. I would definitely take a class with her if you have a chance.

This was my third class with Dr. Irlbeck and as always the class was excellent. She is very passionate about Nutrition and instills that same passion into her students. She is what inspired me to pursue a degree in nutrition. She does go through a lot of material in each lecture so attendance is important. I would definitely recommend her classes!
