Fall 2024 - I took the cluster course, but the courses clarity, workload, and "easiness" - depend on which instructor you have. Fall quarter is taught by Dr. Cleavland and Professor Jay. Professor Jay was all over the place with her instruction, and was probably the most difficult lecturer to grasp from all. Her quizzes were more difficult compared to all 3 other lecturers throughout the course. The slides were confusing, and she brought many guest lecturers, which kind of repeated the same thing. Her final project is actually a little fun, as you get to create your own online "website" style presentation (pretty chill tbh). Overall, she isn't the best lecturer herself, and probably had the most challenging "course" in comparison to the entire food cluster professors.
