Monika is a great instructor. The course content is boring but she tries to make it as fun as possible with games and activities. She is always there if you need help and gives constructive feedback on assignments. However, she is a tough marker. Boring class but an Easy A

OK let me be fair. She's very enthusiastic and engaging in her class. Very devoted to healthy lifestyle and you can learn a lot. I like her personal experiences. But the assignments are not easy.. Need to attend class to get an A

She's young and knowledgeable. I like her. You can ask her everything about food and she'll be very passionate to answer them. Very interesting course if you like healthy eating. Will recommend. You need to work in order to get an A

This class is not an easy A. But if you attend class and pay attention, you will be fine. There are no tricky questions on the exams. She makes the class fun and interesting so it is not too bad. I learned a lot about the food system and was inspired by many of the topics and lectures. I would recommend this class.

Monika is a very inspirational prof. She is very passionate about the topic of food and agriculture, and she is willing to listen to discussion and other view points. She is a fair marker, so if you take your time to study and put in some effort, you will be just fine.

The class is heavy in theory sometimes, but she does do fun things in class to make the content more interesting and more hands on. She does bring to class some interesting food, which made for some good discussions. She is very approachable, passionate about food, open-minded and understanding. If you stay on top of the work, you will be fine.

I adored Monika's passion throughout this course. She remains honest and objective while presenting somewhat controversial topics about the food system. She gets most of her test material from what she says in class, so don't skip! The readings aren't necessary but they are very interesting. One of my favourite soc profs to date.

An awesome teacher in general, very helpful and understanding with deadlines . It will make you care about the environment and what you eat if you're into that. She's also super accessible both through email and office hours. I would say it's an easy and enjoyable class if you put a little effort and just pay attention in class.

Overall great prof, final exam and assignments are extremely straightforward. Also very helpful and replies to emails fairly quick. Lectures are really interesting because of how enthusiastic she is about the topics.

She is an amazing prof, every lecture was super interesting. You need to really show up to class and take notes because the slides are usually images with little text. Aside from that, one of the best liberals I've taken so far. Exam and assignments are also very straightforward.

Professor Korzun is one of the best profs that I've encountered at Ryerson. She's very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and although it can be depressing stuff she finds a way to inject humour into class. She always keeps it interesting by bringing in food samples, having guest lecturers, or using fun online quizzes for review. 10/10!

Prof. Korzun is an incredible prof. You do have to show up to class to get a good grade, but the lectures are very interesting. She is passionate about the content and I wish I can take more classes by her. She makes classes interesting and fun by bringing in guest speakers, food and by playing games. One of the best classes I have taken.

She is extremely knowledgeable. I found the content extremely interesting. She teaches fast but if you can keep up & take good notes then you're set. Only 3 chances to get marks, so everything is weighed heavily. Final exam is pretty straightforward and I found it easy. I got the book for the class, but I didn't even end up reading it.

Prof. Korzun is one of the best profs at Ryerson. She is passionate and makes it easy to participate and be engaged. If you are engaged in the class and pay attention, you will be fine. She provides constructive feedback for every assignment. The class may not be the easiest, I've taken, but she is fair and provides clear feedback.

Took this course thinking it would boost my gpa but sadly, it didn't. She is a great prof and provides amazing notes (ppts don't have much text) and the content is pretty interesting BUT she was a hard marker for the group project and essay, although the final exam was easy. You will learn a lot but if you want an easy A, don't take it.

Awesome prof. Funny and easy to understand. I wish she taught more courses.

Shes amazing! Very caring and chill... 2 major assignments and an exam. Lectures are actually interesting. Soc of food and eating

The lectures are amazing. You learn things in this class that you can apply to the real world. A bit of theory at the beginning but the rest is all very interesting. She uses case studies and stories that are current and that students are interested in. One of my favorite classes.

She makes her lectures interesting and likes to get the class involved with discussions. Her grading criteria is clear and the amount of work that has to be done for her class is minimal. Overall, I like her teaching style and you can tell that she cares for others opinions.

Monika is one of the most understanding professors at Ryerson. Yeah she marks a little hard but her assignments are very clear and straight to the point. I messed up on one assignment (there are two in total worth 35% each) and i approached her in her office hours and she was VERY chill and understanding about it. I would take her again.

WHY isn't she teaching more classes? Amazing prof. Her lectures are interesting and you can apply the information to the real world. Makes you think about things in different ways. She cares about the students and if you put a bit of work into it, the course will be easy.

A LOT of people here are saying if you skip class you won't do well. NOT TRUE.I never went to a SINGLE class of hers (except the very first one) and still got an A. She posts everything on d2l, and theres only 3 assignments and she does not mark them hard. During the tour, just quote the OPIRG a lot, and she will give you an A. Final was very EASY.

Love the class and the prof. I don't know what it is exactly about the lectures, but they are so interesting. Monika lectures in a fun and engaging way. She should be teaching more classes. Assignments are a bit demanding but in the end, as long as you follow the directions, it will be fine.

I had her as a guest lecturer and it was amazing. I wish I could switch to her section. So passionate and inspirational. Makes you think about things in a different way. Makes sarcastic jokes throughout the lecture which keeps you on your toes.

If you're wondering whether or not to take this course, do it. It consists of 2 assignments + a final exam: 1 research paper + 1 video assignment - both are fine & ur likely to do well - it's super hard to fail this class Monika is straight to the point (best lectures + slides), funny and super knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend, my fav class ever

The class is not a GPA booster, but it is very interesting. I had a lot of fun in the class. Monika does not post a lot on the slides, but tells a lot of stories, which makes the class engaging and interesting. I found her instructions to be very clear. She provides a lot of feedback and provides a lot of help with the assignments if you ask her.

Amazing prof. There was 1 group assignment, a paper, a open book quiz and exam. Quiz was easy. She gave a lot of hints in class about what will be on the exam. Group assignment was fun. The paper she was tough on, but fair. I really liked this class and did not find it hard. But you have to come to class.

Monika is an amazing lecturer. She is very knowledgeable and caring. Life changing course with her.

Monika is an awesome prof. Passionate, very accessible and understanding. She wants her students to do well. You have to show up to class, but her lectures are fun and easy to listen to. Slides are minimal but that forces you to listen to the lecture. I learned a lot from this class.

Attending class is important but the lectures are fun and easy to pay attention to. She invites guest speakers and shows movie clips during lectures. The video assignment was a bit hard but ultimately it was fun to do. She is very accessible and explains everything very clearly. Straight to the point.

She is so nice, approachable and funny. She wants students to do well. It is not hard to get a good grade. You do have to come class though. Lectures a easy to listen to and she actually gives you information that is practical.

This prof is amazing. Yes, she is a tough grader on some things, but gives feedback that will make you better prepared for the next assignments. Lectures are very informative and you learn SO much. I absolutely LOVE this class.

Although she expects a lot from some of the assignments, the marking is fair and the lectures are great. She is very approachable and easy to talk to. She will help you out when you ask her. Very cool prof.

I loved this class. Although she expects more than some other profs, I learned more in her class than in any other soc class. She makes you think about things in different ways. She was very well organized during covid19. she tried to keep everything as normal as possible. everything was very clear from the beginning.

Lectures and content overall was really interesting- loved each class I went to. However, I found that she marked quite hard on all the assignments. The only thing that brought my grade up were the tests. She also takes forever to grade things and to respond to emails. Overall though, good lecturer and fun course.

Sweet, caring prof and an overall interesting course! Powerpoints are scarce - MUST come to class to add missing info - she gives out specific definitions, statistics, and facts that are testable. NO textbook, weekly online readings (you pick 3 of them to do reflections on). One online quiz. Supermarket video tour assignment + all MC final exam.

My favourite class so far. She makes the content fun and is obviously very passionate about food. Awesome lectures. You must come to class to get the blanks on the slides. The transition to online was seamless. She made everything clear from the beginning.

Not an easy A, but a very rewarding and fun class. I took a lot away from this course. One of the best classes and profs at Ryerson.

She's an amazing lecturing, she was engaging and did not read off the slides. However she's a difficult marker, you must have strong critical thinking skills for her assignments. She gives good feedback though, as long as you follow it you'll see higher grades for your next assignments. Not a bird course, but I enjoyed the content.

Amazing lecturer. Makes class so much fun and interesting. She is quite funny as well. A bit of a hard marker, but if you follow instructions and the feedback, you will be fine. She is easy to talk to and very accommodating. I would take classes with her again.

Best prof and lectures ever! She is passionate and enthusiastic about what she teaches. I did not get bored in her class at all. Fair marker. Gives good feedback. Very approachable and caring. I left this class with a new outlook on food.

Soc808 with Monika was awesome. She is helpful and understanding. She clearly outlines what is required for the assignments and gives good feedback. If you follow the feedback, you will do better on the next short paper. I found the transition to online during Covid very easy. Everything was clearly outlined from the beginning in one email. Great!

I liked this class and this prof. Some say she is a harder marker compared to the other instructors for this course, but I found everything clear and fair. She is helpful when you reach out and provides good advice and feedback when you ask her.

She is very nice, caring and approachable. She replies quickly to emails and engages in the class online discussions. The class is textbook heavy so readings are a must. Feedback is helpful. If you follow the feedback, you will do better on the following assignments. Overall, I learned a lot in this class.

great!

This Prof is awesome. The content was relevant and the assignments and tests were fair. She replied to emails quickly and was very supportive and understanding. Also, do not cheat in this class. Students were caught on the exam.

Awesome prof. Well organized and helpful. She can expect a lot but also helps you along the way. One of my favorite classes.

The class is well organized from the beginning. All the information you need is there from the beginning. The classes are structured in a very flexible manner so you can do it on your own time. She is a tough grader on the reflections but marks easy on the discussion board assignments as long as you do it on time. Awesome class.

This class is awesome. Yes, she marks hard but gives good feedback. If you follow it, you will be fine. She is passionate about the topics. Lectures keep you engaged. I recommend.

I really like this prof and class. Very helpful when you ask for it. She replies to emails very fast and addresses your concerns quickly. It is not the easiest of classes, but it is not bad. Just follow the instructions. Very interesting topics. I learned so much.

I think this class is awesome. We cover interesting topics and it is obvious she puts a lot of work into organizing the class. She is very passionate about the topics. I am not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I have done well in the class. Yeah, you have to put some work into it but she marks fair.

Really enjoy her lectures. Even though they are recorded, they are easy to listen to. You can tell she is really knows what she is talking about and really loves this subject. Not the easier of classes, but definitely learned a lot. Would take class with her again.

Dr. Korzun definitely knows what she's talking about and her recorded lectures were engaging and not a drag . However she's a tough grader and the sheer amount of readings you have to do makes her not the best prof if you're looking for an easy Upper Liberal. But if you're chasing knowledge over a good grade; she's a solid choice.

I don't get why there are so many bad reviews. Monika is awesome and you can learn a so much in this class. She marks really easy on the discussion board but a bit more tough on the reflections. You have to put effort into this class, but it is worth it. I would recommend if you actually want to learn something interesting.

She's very knowledgeable so her lectures add a lot of explanation from what's on the slides. There was a lot of readings/videos that are testable, but imo the interesting content made up for it. She marks easy with the discussion posts, but hard in the reflections (don't expect anything above an 80). Overall, a great learning experience!

This class with Monika was awesome. Lectures were amazing and she is quite funny. A bit of a tough class, but it was not bad. She is also very nice outside the class and is very helpful and understanding.

Monika didnt have the best ratings when I was taking her so I was nervous. Turns out she is a great prof. It wasnt hard to keep up with her class online. Tests were straightforward and I really recommend watching her lectures and doing the readings for good grades. A little tough on marking reflections but she helped me better my writing.

Monika was awesome. The lectures and amazing and the topics are relevant and very interesting. I learned a lot from this class. She gives good feedback and exams are straight forward. This class is not as hard as people make it.

Monika is kind and caring. She really wants students to do well and become better thinkers and writers. The topics are relevant and interesting and her lectures and materials are very engaging. I would take more classes with her in a heartbeat.

Monika was awesome. Lectures were engaging and videos were very interesting and relevant. She is also very helpful outside the class. I didn't find her to be a hard market. If you pay attention to the feedback, you will improve.

This prof is awesome. She marks fairly and if you listen to her feedback on the written assignments, you will improve your writing in general. She is easy to listen to and content is so interesting.

Monika cares about her students and she will dedicate herself to helping you if you ask. Lectures are amazing and she is quite funny as well. Monika makes you think about food in a different way.

Amazing Prof. She is caring and understanding. Easy marker on the discussion board. There are no surprises on the exams. Lectures are fun. She includes videos as part of the assigned readings, which is awesome. One of the best classes ever.

One of my favourite classes! Monika gives amazing lectures. They are a bit long for online, but they are fun to listen to. I did not find her a difficult grader. Very fair and no surprises. I learned a lot in this class and really made me think about food and other social issues differently. Highly recommend.

best class and best prof ever. she makes you think differently about the world. kind of funny too. not a hard marker. would like to have class with her in person.

Not sure why this prof is being evaluated so badly. The exams cover lectures and readings. This is made clear from the beginning. Overall the prof give clear feedback and is very helpful. The content is interesting. It is not the easiest class, but if you put some effort into it, you will be fine.

This prof cares for her students and is very accommodating. I found the assignments interesting and the exams fair. I contacted Monika several times and she was very helpful. Not sure why she is getting a bad rap. Everyone in my group enjoyed the course and the content. Very thought-provoking class.

Awesome prof. Wants students to do well in class. Very helpful if you meet with her. Book was boring but lectures were informative. Good course. learned a lot. I would take other classes with her.

She is an incredibly nice professor, and always responded to my emails but the textbook was absolutely useless, save yourself the money and don't buy it. The course is two tests and a 50% group project, it was an interesting course, i just thought the textbook was useless to the course.

The class was very interesting. Monika is kind and caring. I spoke with her a few times outside of class and she was very understanding. I would recommend the class and prof. There are two group assignments so choose your groups early. Overall, great experience.

Not sure why this prof gets a bad rep. She might be tough, but she is fair and feedback is good. She is serious about plagiarism and cheating so do not cut corners. The information in the course is useful and interesting.I learned a lot.

This class will be difficult if you don't make the time for it. The content is interesting and engaging with many interactive components. Make sure you really understand what is being asked in the assignments, take good *detailed notes*, and read the textbook. You NEED the textbook. Monika is a fair marker who gives direct, relevant feedback.

Professor Monika is very helpful when you need help or are stuck. She gives you good feedback so you can improve your next submission. Class is not stressful at all.
