The tutorials/labs are COMPULSORY and will provide an opportunity for students to discuss the lecture/theoretical components, as well as develop practical skills for nutrition practice. The objective is to make the tutorial learning as interactive, engaging and practical as possible to allow the development of knowledge and applied practice.Tutorials will not only be summaries of the lecture. Reading lists will be available through TALIS and each module/week will have a reading to be completed.
