From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceThis course gives an overview of the scope of food science as a discipline. Students will learn about the fundamental principles underlying food science such as food chemistry, processing, packaging, and sensory evaluation as they relate to food formulations, quality, and safety of foods. Students will gain insights into the building blocks of food, crucial chemical reactions in food, preservation of the quality attributes of food, modern food processing techniques and sensory analysis. Midterm and final exams along with research papers on the effect of processing on the quality attributes of selected foods will be used to assess student’s application of food science principles.

What people actually got
Last observed Fall 20221 term observed
This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
The newest observation is from Fall 2022. Instructors, weighting and exam format may all have changed since — treat this as history, not a forecast.
This rests on 1 reported term. It is shown because hiding it would not make it less true, but one or two results are a datapoint, not a distribution — a single unusual cohort moves this number a long way.
