Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

Hi students!

This is a fully ONLINE (no scheduled meetings) course with no required meeting times. However, students should be able to engage with the content and fellow students an average of 2-3 times each week. The content in this course is so relevant and important to our daily lives and I really believe in your successful engagement with the information. 

This course operates in a weekly module format with structured content. Assessments in the course include a weekly discussion (where we get to learn more about the content and from each other while practicing items that will appear in the culminating assignment), a weekly quiz (open resource and no time limits) and 2 assignments (one requires watching a film and the other is a culminating lengthy assignment). Student assignments will ask you to engage with the content, apply concepts from the course, and reflect on the experience.

I will have office hours available to meet with students as desired (online or in-person at Sylvania on Mondays) and am typically available via email M-F. Should you register for this section of HE 264, you can expect to receive an email and a syllabus from me in the couple of days before the term will begin. 

The textbook for this course is Food & Society, 3rd edition and is available in digital (ISBN: 9781509542253) and print copies (ISBN: 9781509542246). Find more information on the textbook from the PCC bookstore.

Basic web applications/viewing technology needed. Most assignments are formatted in Word documents. Students should be able to engage with outside services like youtube or podcasts.
