Comment:
Do not take this professor. Her entire class revolves around lecture videos that do not relate to the exams at all. Her lectures have very little useful and accurate information so you're basically wasting your money taking this class because you learn nothing. Her emails also make no sense and she makes you feel stupid for asking questions.

She's absolutely sucks. I am generally a good student who gets all As but she made it nearly impossible. I swear I only did decent on some exams out of pure luck. 10/10 do not take her.

Comment:
Dr. Nochera is not a very good professor. Her online lecture videos were nothing like the exams at all. Her lectures are just her rambling and she is not very good at explaining. There is barely any work to be graded, so if you don't do good on the exams you're basically screwed.

Comment:
Prof. Nochera's instructions for everything were incredibly unclear. She doesn't really know how to run a class. The exams covered no material that was learned in class and when you'd email her about it she'd have a lackluster response that never answered your questions. I would not recommend taking her ever.

Comment:
Extremely confusing professor. Her emails make absolutely no sense. This class was online & all she posted were 3 short lectures covering weeks of material? They don't prepare you for the exam whatsoever. The exams were so difficult for no reason. I didn't learn a single thing & am still confused. I have taken nutrition before & I was still so lost

Comment:
I have never had a more confusing professor ever. She will say one thing but mean the total opposite. This class you will not learn anything, its more about passing and getting your work done before exams than learning anything. The work was easy and came along with pre recorded lectures. Questions on the exams would be worded very confusingly.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The class is online and all she does is post 2-4 short lecture videos that she recorded from last year for an entire 2-3 week unit. Her lectures have nothing to do with exams so basically if you do not read and take notes from all of the chapters on the book you are going to do bad. You have no idea what to expect on exams.

Very easy capstone prof. I think she's retiring after this semester. Put in the work week to week, finish the paper and do the presentation A grade. She's a beam of positivity and friendliness. She remembers everyone's names and is a lot of fun. Always available to answer questions.

Comment:
Tbh Prof Nochera didnt seem to put alot of effort into BMS 105. Lectures were rather bland and her powerpoints were black/white with only a few words. I did learn some stuff in this class, however I wouldnt recommend this prof. Pretty sure Dr. Nochera retired in spring 2020 anyways...

Shes a nice person but her teaching style is entirely based around very low info power points and she says that the tests are based on the power points but they never were. She kept changing her teaching style when it came to reviewing for exams and it made it so you had no idea what the exam was going to be over. Talks VERY fast during lectures

If you enjoy learning about nutrition or want to learn more, do NOT take this class with Dr. Nochera. She is a sweet lady, but her material is outdated and her exams don't match her lectures. She cancelled a great deal of class and expected us to know the material. She goes fast and comes off passive aggressive which makes it hard to ask questions.

This class is a NIGHTMARE. She's very nice but she should NOT be a teacher. The information she "teaches" is very old school - it is so outdated and not accurate. Takes attendance everyday too which is annoying. Lectures are unorganized and confusing/don't make sense. Exams don't match the material she presents in class. Worst class I've taken.

DO NOT TAKE HER. Worst professor I have ever had. Exams are NOTHING like anything she teaches. She should not be a professor, plain and simple. This class is an absolute joke for a 100 level class. I am an a BMS student and her class was horrible. Made me drop the nutrition emphasis. Take this class with ANYONE else.

What you need to know: - READ THE BOOK: all of her exams only have info from the book, not so much from lecutre - ATTEND CLASS: she takes attendance and will call you out for not showing up - she talks very fast so ask if you can record her lecutres - she lets you do group quizzes and grades assignments easily, but TESTS ARE VERY HARD!!! STUDY!

This class was awful. She lectures from powerpoints that have very little info on them and she gets sidetracked a lot. The exams don't match up with the lectures at all and are very difficult so it was very hard to know how to prepare for them. She's a very sweet lady but it seemed like she was more concerned with being our friend than our teacher.

She is wonderful! The material itself isn't extremely interesting but she does her very best to get you excited about learning. The exams are kind of tough but you have a lot of in-class assignments that help boost your grade! You have to attend class because she takes attendance but you are allowed to miss a few times if necessary. I loved her!

She is fun in lecture but speaks fast and if you don't write everything down you will miss stuff for the test. Her powerpoints have little information on them and the tests are much harder than she makes it seem. Her class is too specific and challenging for a 100 level class. She does weight the tests and homework the same though.

What a nightmare. She's a super sweet lady & funny, but that's not why were there. For a 100 level this was a joke. Attendance taken every lecture, also a joke. We aren't in 2nd grade. Lectures were unorganized & random, exams were worse. No idea what's ever expected or how to even prepare for exams. If you need any kind of structure do not take!!

Dr. Nochera does not deserve to have such a low rating. Her tests are hard, but only if you do the bare minimum in the class. You will have to read the book, and you will have to pay attention to the lectures, but that's true of most college classes. She generally cares for her students and wants to see us all pass the class.

Don't let this 100 level course fool you! Lecture power points are VERY confusing. Test questions are very tricky and confusing. Dr. Nochera had to leave half way through the semester, and Professor house took over. TAKE PROFESSOR HOUSE! Her exams were so much easier, tests were straightfoward, her class is an easy A.
