My advice is to stay organized and don’t wait until the last minute—small weekly tasks add up quickly in this course. Communicate openly with your classmates and instructors, especially when something feels unclear. Most importantly, treat each activity as practice for real industry communication, not just a grade. The more you participate, the easier and more enjoyable the course becomes.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for future FST316 students is to truly embrace the communication activities in this course. You might not realize it now, but learning how to explain food safety concepts clearly and confidently will help you so much in real industry situations. Stay on top of the weekly modules, practice your verbal and nonverbal communication skills, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or participate. The more effort you put in, the more these skills will support you in your future QC or production roles.

# data[].attributes.body
If I had to give one piece of advice to students just starting Advanced Topics in Food Science Technology, it would be this: stay engaged from the beginning, because this course is far more valuable when you actually participate in the activities instead of just completing them. The communication exercises are genuinely useful, and the weekly tasks are designed to build skills you’ll actually use in industry. Even the small activities like analyzing communication styles or responding to real workplace scenarios teach you how to think and act like a professional in food manufacturing. The course is well-structured and informative, but you only get the full benefit if you keep up with the weekly work and apply the concepts instead of memorizing them.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for future students starting this course is to participate actively and regularly in all activities and discussions. This will help your communication skills, which are a must for any professional with clear articulation of ideas and discussion. Participation is one of the quickest ways to build a wide network and professional momentum.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice to all the future students taking this course would be to take each activity as a part of learning something new rather than just completing it for grades, as due to pressure from other subjects, it is very easy to fall behind in this course as it is asynchronous. But if proper attention is given to all the activities and assignments in this course, it is one of the easiest yet really valuable courses.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to give an advice to all the upcoming students , and encourage them to take this course seriously and as a fun informative course that teaches you a lot about a lot of topics related to food science. The way this course is taught is very interesting, you can study and do the assignments at your own pace but you have to be consistent and catch up with the weekly material. All the videos, infographics and articles are very informative and interesting by making the lectures less boring and more understandable . I overall enjoyed this course and it's variety of topics that I am pretty sure will be very helpful in the future. I hope the other students will enjoy it too. :)

# data[].attributes.body
My advice to future students would be to properly manage your time, as its easy to let work in the course fall by the wayside as it is asynchronous. It doesn't take too long to catch up and read the weekly topics, and doing so builds up good study and work habits.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for new students is to manage your time properly. This is an asynchronous course which can be very beneficial with proper time management. You don’t have to strictly follow the week-by-week timeline for the course. Working ahead can help if you know that you have other assignments or exams coming for the following week/s. Assignments are also posted early so you can start planning or working on them way before the deadline. This doesn’t mean that you should be rushing through the modules, but it gives you the flexibility to take your time and complete this course stress-free.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for the next group of FST-316 students is to treat every communication task in this course as real preparation for the workplace. It's easy to think of assignments as "just schoolwork," but the scenarios you practice here are exactly the kinds of situations you'll run into in the workplace. Take the time to learn how to explain things simply, listen actively, and adjust your approach depending on who you're talking to. You'll be surprised how much these skills matter once you start working in the industry. Don't stress if you feel nervous or unsure in the beginning, everyone improves with practice. Stay open, be willing to try, and trust that the effort you put in now will make you a stronger communicator and a more confident professional in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for future students of FST 316 is to take advantage of this class to create a habit of time management skills, because you may feel confident that as it is assynchronous, there's no need to plan ahead and you will finish everything on the end. Think smarter than that because that lack of planification could led to work accumulation that may reduce the quality of your submissions. Also, I would really recomend to use the course information to learn how to succeed in the "not-scientific" areas of our career, mainly the last module about communication, as it is the most powerful tool to succeed in the capitalistic world.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for students starting this course is to stay organized and keep up with weekly tasks.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and use the examples provided they make the concepts much easier to understand. If you stay consistent, participate, and manage your time well, this course becomes very manageable and genuinely useful for your future career.

# data[].attributes.body
The best piece of advice that I can give someone just starting this course is to manage your time as best as you can! Sometimes you think you can get away with leaving some assignment or participation activity for later, but when you least expect it you have all the participation activities from the module piled up and no time to do them! The good thing is that they are short and easy to do after reading the material, but if you want to spare yourself that stress then its in your best interest to do them as the weeks go by instead of letting them pile up and having to do them all at once.

# data[].attributes.body
To the next group of FST316 students: my best piece of advice to offer is to work on your communication skills! One day you might be in a leadership role and realize that your communication skills are under-developed (this course helps A LOT with that). Being able to balance a professional tone with confidence and optimism seems like a lot, but this course helps prepare you for situations where you might have to lead or even present. It's never too late to develop and polish up your communication skills. It'll come in handy later in the industry (and outside of the industry).

# data[].attributes.body
The most important thing I could say to the incoming students, having successfully completed this Professional Practice course as a senior, is: manage your schedule systematically and participate actively every week. This course stresses soft skills relevant to communication and teamwork, and it is not just about knowing things out of a book. Thus, it is important to start early in breaking down each week's goals into tiny steps and not to try to cram assignments on the due date. It is not enough that you merely read the lecture materials; make sure to participate in discussions and never hesitate to ask questions. The practical skills you get from the group work and participation activities will mean so much more for your professional growth than the lecture content alone. Take every assignment not just as something to be submitted, but as an opportunity to practice and hone real-world skills.

after completing this course i can think of some tips that next batch should follow to make this course more immersive and intuitive. to begin with, try to understand each and every concepts taught in the course instead of just reading it and memorize it for the assignments. i know it sounds like a tedious task but trust me its worth every minute spend. as this concepts are very helpful in real life scenario's. secondly, try to perform the activities on time without any delay. in addition, try to use the techniques in the other subjects as well to deepen your understanding of it.

third, use try to learn and practice the all communication techniques as they are some of the best thing offered in the course.

pro tip: when you are provided with a scenario try to think like that person or position. for example in the business plan module. try to think like a good businessman. one thing that i did was try to think as a entrepreneur with limited fundings. for my plan this helped me to think some of the out of the box idea which can be implemented with very less budget. just like in real world. i personal think that the unlimited funding is not practical for the real world applications.
