Class Format
This course is entirely online and is organized into 13 chapters, projects, forums, and tests. The 13 chapters follow chapters 1 through 13 of your textbook. Each of these chapters includes reading, an activity or two, a forum discussion and a chapter quiz. Generally, you will have 2-3 chapters to complete each week. This is an 8 week online course. It is recommended to set aside time each week for the course. Remember, a 3 unit course generally means 3 hours lecture and minimum 3 hours outside of class in a 16 week course. As this is 8 weeks, plan on more time per week but you will finish sooner. The major part of the grading will be for forums, assignments and tests. The tests are a very small part of the final grade. The projects/assignments and forums are very important for success in the course. I also check for weekly signing in to the site and for the assignments to be completed in a timely manner. This will provide potential bonus points for participation.

The quizzes will be part of the weekly learning modules. The quizzes will be available weekly or every other week depending on the content being covered.
When Will the Weekly Activities Be Given?
The weekly activity (which may include the following: Discussion Board comments, short summary, Internet activities, etc.) will be available at the beginning of the week. Please check the course schedule for due dates.
The Discussion Boards are very important to the success of the online course. This is the opportunity to interact with each other as you would in a classroom setting. Each topic will require an initial post of the topic and at least 2 follow up postings to respond to other students. The postings should all add to an overall discussion of the topic. You will not receive credit for “I agree”; “Good Post” or other post which does not add to the discussion. The discussion boards are a large part of your points and should not be missed.
The assignments are designed to enhance the subject matter that is being discussed. There will be one major assignment that allows you to research a nutrition topic of your choice. Plan on providing a written report and putting together a “presentation” to share with the other students in the online class. Power points, brochures, posters are all examples of ways to present to the class.
* NOTE : The weekly quizzes and activities will only be made available based on the module they are included in. There are 2-3 weeks per module. There are a total of 7 modules of learning. The initial module is a welcome. We will cover 13 chapters as outlined in the textbook. If you see a lock symbol on your Grades page, let me know immediately.

The Semester Projects
1. Is this Diet Adequate (15 points)
The scenario provided will give you the opportunity to review a lifestyle and eating behavior of a student. You will be asked questions that you can use to evaluate the student’s meals and lifestyle and indicate changes that may be beneficial.
2. Label Assignment ( 30 points)
The label assignment will evaluate how well you understand the current label found on foods purchased from the stores. The label is an important tool to aid consumers.
3. What’s On Your Plate: Carbohydrate, Lipids/Fats, Protein Assignment (60 points)
Using a one day’s food intake, find a computer based analysis. There are many apps and programs available. A list of various choices for the analysis will be provided, Enter the foods you eat from one or two days and obtain the analysis printout (you will need to submit the printout with your answered questions-this can be a pdf, screenshot, doc, etc). Answer the questions to analyze the carbohydrate, fat and protein you consumed on the assignment sheet. Submit both the analysis printout and the answered assignment.
4. Vitamin and Mineral Report (35 points for each-Total 70 points)
You will need to contact the instructor with your top 3 main choices for a vitamin and top 3 main choices for a mineral to report on. We will only use the vitamins and minerals from the textbook. You will prepare a report using the instructions found in the assignment section. This is meant to be both fun and informative.
5. Nutrition Research Report (50 points for written report turned into instructor; 50 points for presentation-online to students and 20 points for at least 3 responses or comments about the presentations for a total of 120 points)
1. Prepare a three to four page research report. The research report will be based on library research, Internet research, or news articles. The paper should use font size-12, double-spaced, have grammatically correct sentences, accurate spelling and include the following:
a. Introduction (why you chose the option to research)
b. Body
c. Conclusion/Summary
d. Include a “sources” list including any websites links, books, newspapers, or magazines.
i. Be sure that you have credible sources included in your research.
ii. Web sites are full of information but if you use a .com (commercial) website, you must balance the information with a .gov (government); .edu (education); or .org (organization) website.
iii. Magazines, newspapers, books may also be good sources, but analyze the author, credentials and authenticity of the information. Remember, textbooks, journal articles may be more reliable information.
2. Prepare a presentation to be shared with other students based on the information you gleaned from the report. Examples of presentation formats include (but are not limited to): Power points, Brochures, Videos, Prezi, Skits, Jeopardy-type, you decide…this is your presentation to your fellow students about a nutrition topic that has interested you. There must be a visual with your presentation format, picture, graphs, etc.
You can choose one nutrition topic for your nutrition report. When you choose the topic that you would like to write about, email me for approval. Be sure to look at the instructions in the course site for more specific grading criteria. This is an opportunity for you to look into an area of nutrition that is pertinent to you. It may be something you are curious about, something meaningful to a family member or friend, something you heard about somewhere…the options are limited only to it being a nutrition topic.
7. Energy Balance Report (35 points)
This assignment will give you the opportunity to see where you stand in relation to your health, body structure and risk of health implications.
8. How does a Fast-Food Lunch fit on MyPlate? (30 points)
This assignment evaluates a fast-food lunch against ChooseMyPlate. You will compare it to the nutritional needs previously determined for yourself and then you will also compare it to the needs of an 8 year old child.
