I have taken foods for 3 years and it was a great experience learning new styles of food, culture and skills. I really enjoyed every moment I spent in the class because it taught me more then just cooking. This corse is a great experience for anyone who decides to take it. I would say this year was the best year of all of my time taking foods. I was given more responsibility and I was challenged a lot more. The home labs were defiantly new and a little more difficult then I expected but I managed to do as many as I could. the only thing I would change is the blogs it was new for all of us and was a bit more complex then the powerpoint but I think it is great for the new classes to come. If I had to give advice to new students coming into this class it would be to work your hardest do your work and listen to your teachers.
