I really enjoyed that class!
I had Dr. Stephens, don't think she is teaching at Mac anymore though. The course material is very interesting, you learn about food and diets, and how it affects the body, from an anthropological perspective.
When I took the class, we had a couple journal entry type assignments, an essay and a final. No tutorials either since it was a night class. It may be different now, but that was the general outline when I was in that class!
All in all, the work load is not a lot at all and definitely manageable
