The course itself is not difficult at all, however I think this professor made it unnecessarily harder than it had to be. You have quizzes about every 2 weeks that are online, all worth 10 points. Lowest is dropped. Discussion is mandatory and you are allowed 2 unexcused absences, and then docked points after the 2nd absence. The grading structure is fair so there are no complaints in that regard. However, the exams were horrible. A majority of the free response questions were on topics barely discussed in lecture, and her multiple choice questions are extremely tricky. Memorization can only get you far here, you really need to understand concepts.

Must have math background , this is a second year course. The Prof is very knowledgeable and approachable , just need to ask.

Everting that is in the outline, fair tests. Practice makes the master.

great

study ! do all the practice questions from the book and redo the tutorial questions before the exams. Also if you did not take math for years - take a college prep course as this course assumes you know the basics.

Really liked it. It was well delivered and interesting :)

It was a course on food. Where it comes from, how modern science understands it, how its grown, the traditional and industrial processes we apply to it, and how our relationship with food has changed throughout history to the present day.

Very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, always willing to work with the students to help them succeed in the course.

Just go to lecture and pay attention.

It's an okay class but not a bird course. It's somewhat interesting, especially the history portion.

Each week covers a different topic. Some topics more interesting than others.

Prof Ha is very sweet and gives mom vibes. Her slides aren't helpful though so be sure to either take pictures or take really good notes. She is flexible and very good at replying to emails so that's always a plus.

Put extra effort into your work because the professor is a tough marker. Also try make friends in the class so when group project time comes around, it's easy to form a group and get working.
