Fall 2024 - Contrary to some other reviews here this class was very engaging and not just a list and discussion of food we liked, Prof. Kim often facilitated class discussions about food preference in order to make us comfortable when discussing actual food ways. We learned alot about the importance of food in society, the ways food spreads worldwide, and the more social aspects food has. We were graded on 3 essays, a video project, and participation. Prof. Kim is very understanding and will work with you to help you improve upon your essays if you just go to office hours, you can also get more details from her about assignments there as well though she does put a detailed grading rubric on Canvas the week prior to the due date. She was very kind and I would recommend this class a fun elective for non-majors (as a Bio major).
