I thought it was a little unusual.
Even worse is there is no mention of the glycemic index, what healthy carbs are, lean proteins, and healthy fats. The curriculum is probably from the 80's.

I would use the same logic that I tell people when they're looking for a trainer.Does the trainer look like you want to or lift as much as you want to?It's possible that you just haven'y gotten to the GI yet but if there's no plans of putting things like that into the study then seek a new instructor.If everything you mention is true and will remain so you need to kick someone in the groin HARD.It's hard enough to keep up with all of the new technology connected with nutrition.You don't need to learn a bunch of stuff to just relearn the right things later

Right off the bat, we know that some of the people answering your question are misinformed.
Some people really are fighting genetics or a totally messed up metabolism. People with organ troubles may also have issues...in other words, if they don't eat a certain way, they get dizzy, etc. I assure you, she is in a very difficult battle, as most people who are fat DO NOT WANT TO BE FAT!!!
First you have to define "fat." How fat? And though she be fat, she may be, in every other way, a model of health. Therefore, it is difficult to sum up your professor based on what you just said.
Again, she may be overweight, but healthy in every way. And yes, hormones too play a part in this equation.

lol if feel your pain we have people in the Navy teaching Drug and Alcohol prevention Awareness (DAPA), and they have never been drunk one day in their life. If I'm to be lectured it needs to be from someone who has been where I've been and has a full understanding on where I want to go. It sounds like you professor knows what eating is but doesn't implement the right control for a healthy diet. Bring up the topic of BMI (body mass index). Anyone slightly over weight hates it. Wait that's me being mean. sorry.

Ha! funny... my professor for nutrition science has a little extra baggage as well. She explained it to us right at the beginning:
"if you study nutrition science, don't do it because you think you are going to help people loose weight. if that is your goal, then study Psychology, since it is mostly a psychological problem. I know exactly what makes me fat, but do not have the motivation to follow all the advice...."
She's right.
we're all gonna end up in research

You might want to mention your concerns to the dean, you paid good money to take this course, the least the school can do is offer competent instructors who are current in their chosen fields.
