NUTR
221
Human Nutrition
(no
prerequisites), is an approved 3-credit, non-laboratory, natural
science general education elective. A minimum of eight pages of
evaluated writing will be required in all sections of NUTR 221. The evaluated writing includes, in part, a required multi-day
diet analysis project involving the electronic nutrient database, Food
Processor. The multi-day diet analysis project counts
for 20% of the final course grade. Students in all sections of NUTR 221 will take a common
final examination (time, date, location TBA by individual course
instructors) measuring knowledge and skills related to the course
objectives and required chapters from the common textbook. The common final examination will be
comprehensive and cumulative, and count for 20% of the student's
final course grade. The remaining 60% of a student's course
grade will be at the discretion of each instructor of record and may
include additional examinations and assignments.
