An introductory nutrition course intended for students interested in entering the allied health fields with emphasis on physiology, metabolism of nutrients, metabolic diseases and dietary modification to optimize recovery and health. Students will understand and evaluate dietary intake, nutritional assessment, and nutrition care commonly used at clinics and hospitals.
This class meets in person and is 17.5 weeks long. All coursework is completed on Canvas using an internet enabled device. WileyPLUS of Nutrition: Science and Applications, 4th Edition by Lori Smolin is required for this course. All enrolled students are automatically enrolled in Follett Access, which gives you access to WileyPLUS through Canvas, but you can opt out if you wish. You won't pay anything upfront, but later in the semester, you will be charged a discounted price of approximately $65 to your student account for WileyPLUS. If you opt out, you will need to get WileyPLUS at market rates, which will likely be (much) more expensive.
