Gretebeck is very passionate about his research in madison, however he is not so passionate about teaching his students. He includes quite a few minor details in his incredibly boring lectures that you will have to extrapolate to do well on his exams. overall he was not a great professor for this class and you should take it with anyone else.Rate My Professors ↗
Randall Gretebeck's lectures are one of the more monotone lectures I have ever attended. He makes it difficult to pull key points from the lectures and seems to care more about his research than he does making it clear what we need to know. There is only two exams the entire class. I highly recommend taking someone else if you can.Rate My Professors ↗
Sports nutrition: Randall is respected in the aspect of his research, however he's not very understanding that some things are debatable and controversial in his class, so putting them in a test or paper is almost unfair if you don't have the same thoughts he does. Nice guy, long and boring lectures, though. Don't need to go to class.Rate My Professors ↗
He's okay. His lectures get incredibly lengthy and he does not prep you for exams. The syllabus is incredibly vague and he doesn't explain assignments in class so you never really know if what you do is correct. He is a nice person, and he is an easy grader.Rate My Professors ↗
