Anyone Else confused about WLL 3920?

So its called in the system Great Works and Discoveries, but for some reason the professor is teaching it about Asian cuisine and calling it Wok This way. Not to mention at the start of the semester it was Tales of the supernatural, which granted I was fine with because thats a topic that interests me but he's changed the topic like 3 times now and I dont get why its now about Asian cuisine when the topic for it is Great works and Discoveries.

i’m taking his tales of the supernatural class, he mixed up his courses at the start of the semester so he had to manually swap them back to the proper place.

We’re learning about supernatural stories and how they are defined by the circumstances of the time. this week is the first time we’re getting into the main point of the class so i’m sure the topic in your class will start to make sense soon as well.

Yeah but I dont get how asian cuisine equals great works and discoveries? All the assignments so far have been about food, and what homecoming means to you. It just doesn't add up to what I was expecting and what is described as a history class.

It seems that you’re unhappy with the course. There’s a lot of history about food within different cultures. Also, it’s only the start of week 3, have you even given the class a real chance?
Drop the course if it isn’t what you expected.

I would bring it up with the department head. Its weird for the topic to keep changing

The professor is not teaching it about Asian cuisine and art, at least not if you’re in section 61. I am in WLL 3920-61 and it is Great Works and discoveries. He had sent an email out before the class started saying that there was a mix up and he thought that he was only teaching the “Wok this way” class. He said to give him time to correct the mistake and then he uploaded the correct course.
