Expanded Course Description
This class has been designed both to meet nutrition requirements for students seeking health science careers and to educate students about the importance of nutrition to their overall health and wellness. The course goals include mastery of the physiology related to human digestion, as well as an understanding of both macro and micro nutrients and their importance in human health. This class will then help students tackle the questions of how to gain weight, lose weight and prevent chronic diseases by examining scientific research and scientific reasoning. This course satisfies the criteria for group status in the sciences in that it introduces students to the foundations of human nutrition as a scientific discipline that overlaps with the science disciplines of human physiology, medicine, and public health.

Students will increase their depth of nutrition knowledge in discussion sections as they gain practical application and practice their verbal skills in relaying scientific information. They will also learn to use a critical eye when examining media recommendations of nutrition. Students will be encouraged to retain the information they are learning via one in-class examination, and a cumulative final exam.
