Boring, left-wing/socialism-oriented course. If you don't agree with their opinions, most TA's won't give you a good grade (even if you are diplomatic & respectful. I found a lot of the TA's to be emotionally driven in their opinions... although they try to call them "facts"). The dairy and ubc farm tour was fun! Be prepared for group projects, weekly quizzes, and papers. It's an annoying course required for most degrees offered through LFS, so just bite the bullet.

You can't really study for this course. Just show up to the lectures & tutorials and regurgitate whatever socialist agenda they lecture at you.

I had remote learning due to COVID. I also wrote the wrong prof's name by accident on the post below, my apologies. Mandatory course for LFS students spans over two terms. Despite the heavy workload, sad to say that I haven't learned anything at all from the course. The class is exhausting - the lecture, tutorial, and lab portion are on the same day and take up 5 hours. I would do CHEM233 10x times rather than this class. Let that sink in. Extremely dissatisfied with the supply and management unit, in which a Sauder guest lecturer forces his political opinions as facts. On the bright side, my favorite units would be the BC Dairy Farm Virtual Tour and Nutrition/Food Science. Here's a course breakdown: Before the lecture: 2-3 readings per week: at least 8 pages of fluff before the ...read more

Show up to the tutorial, so you can form your reflective essays around what the TA expects(?)

[DISTANCE ED OPTION] Boring class and the prof can be passive aggressive.

Pray for a TA that grades your weekly journals easy (they are worth 40% of your grade)
