Spring 2024 - I highly recommend taking this class with professor Tandler. I feel like everyone should take this class because it is very eye-opening to the injustices and unethical practices within the food system. This class was easy and it was very impactful. There are 5 assignments which are mainly reflections, group presentation, and there was supposed to be a group research paper but we did not have to do it anymore because of the TA strike. The documentary we watched was very explicit, I did get uneasy watching it but it reveals the unjust practices within the food system (There is an alternative assignment if you prefer not to watch it). The guest speakers in this class were very informative and their research/ lifestyle/ work was interesting. Participation and attendance matters in this class, it is 45% of your overall grade, but it is very easy to participate. I would definitely take this class again. :)
