Paper Description
This paper aims to provide students with an understanding of the key concepts of human nutrition, specifically related to health and exercise/sport. The ability to apply evidence-based strategies practically will be developed. This paper will also advance skills related to finding evidence-based literature and report writing (for both clients and professionals).
Paper Structure
The content of this course will be delivered through both the lectures and the tutorials. Lectures will be face-to-face each week, with lecture information also posted to Moodle. The workshop/tutorials will provide an opportunity for students to discuss the lecture/theoretical components, as well as develop practical skills for nutrition practice. We strongly recommend attendance at the weekly workshops/tutorials and actively participating in the labs is essential to academic success in the paper. The objective is to make the tutorial learning as interactive, engaging and practical as possible to allow the development of knowledge and applied practice.Workshops/tutorials will not only be summaries of the lecture. Journal articles and supporting reading material will be available on Moodle.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:
Assessment
Detailed assessment guidelines and marking criteria will be available on Moodle.
The internal assessment of HPSCI203 contributes 100% to the final grade. There is no exam.
There are three assessment tasks that contribute to the final grade: one case study, one group presentation and moodle quizzes (four quizzes).
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
