Question from a student 20140418

Q

From: Student SSSSS

May i ask if the topics

1) MICROBIAL FOOD SPOILAGE PATTERNS

2) CONTROVESIAL PERSERVATIVE METHODS(nitrite, antibiotics, and food irradiation)

Are included in our exam ? 

As you have mentioned anything haven't taught during your lessons aren't examed. I do think these two topics haven't been mentioned, however in the first topic, it includes the good spoilage evaluation of different bacteria and the second topic concerning  something like antibiotics which i don't quite understand . I am quite confused about the syllabus, may i ask are these two parts be regarded as exam area or not, please ? 

Thank you very much. 

I will work hard on the exam.

A

Food spoilage has been covered in lectures so it will be included in the final examination

Controversial food preservations have not be covered so it will NOT be included.

Coverage in lectures should refer to the topic, not literally mean the exact materials covered or not.
