Comment:
It is very obvious that Cook is passionate and cares about what he teaches. He really enjoys telling students about world nutrition. His lectures can be very long however, since he talks very slowly. There is also some reading required for this class, but I found all material to be interesting. There are only three exams, but there is extra credit.

Just a super nice guy. Class is super easy as long as you pay attention somewhat. Also quite interesting. Very father-like in personality. Geeky jokes and the like. If you need to fill a general ed and one of his classes are an option take it!

Comment:
His lectures are a combination of a sociology and a food science. It's not dry at all; he has a lot to say about social concerns that are going on right now. E.g. food stamp programs, AIDS, starvation, politics, envirnoment, food shortages, etc. Gives a broader perspective to fdsci.

Comment:
Don't listen to those who say he is boring. His voice is pretty monotonous, but if you listen you WILL BE interested. He includes many examples and cute little stories. The class is interesting, but can get fairly emotional when discrimination against women in poor countries is discussed.

Comment:
Hands down, the worst prof I've encountered at UMO.I had to keep correcting him b/c his info in certain areas was totally outdated, in some cases bordering on the offensive.His tests were a sham, and the group cooking assignment was a nightmare. When I see him on campus I run screaming the other way

Easy class with option for extra credit to get points added on to tests. Don't need to do the reading, just take good notes in class and you'll be fine. Definitely an easy A. I recommend taking the online version of the class.

Fine class. Don't really need to read all that's recommended, if you pay good attention in class and take notes. Eating the various foods at the end is very fun.
