Homework Week #12

Week #12: (11-24-03) Finish Handout #2, On-Line Quiz #12, Finish Nutrition Journal Assignment

• Handout #2: Make adjustments as needed. Staple final draft on top with rough draft underneath.  For name under the title and references, use these formats:

  • (Your Name, Bakersfield College, Fall 2003)

  • References: (See previous HO #1 directions for specifics. Do not list vertically! Do not use bullets for references!)

• On-Line Quiz #12 (Posted 11-22-03 @3:10 PM!)

  • Print the PDF-format Quiz then complete the questions by hand. Turn in Monday at beginning of class.

• Nutrition Journal Assignment: Finish going over your journal entries using your check list as a guide for what you need to improve upon. Mark off problem areas then use these to help you write you essay.

  • Type of 1-2 page reflective essay (.12 font, double space, standard or default margins) about your learning experience with the nutrition journal. The first paragraph should reflect what you thought of this kind of assignment in general--was it hard to write all that stuff down?, did you enjoy recording what you eat?, etc. The second paragraph should be about what you learned about your own personal eating habits. The final paragraph should be about your strategies for improving your eating--what do you need to do and how will you do it? Use you knowledge of SMART Goals, behavior change psychology, nutrition science, etc. Come up with a plan "BEFORE" the holidays for improving. Some of you need more work than others but now you know how to set yourselves up for success!

  • You will not be graded on how you eat--just how you follow the directions for the assignment.

  • If you have more than three paragraphs that's fine.  I just tried to give you a simple three-paragraph 1-2 page guideline.

• Exam #4: Because we are running out of time, I'm just going to make the nutrition potluck an exam grade.  You will need to bring in a healthy food choice and give a very short presentation to the class about why this food is healthy to eat.  For example, if you brought in nuts and seeds you would explain that they are: easy to eat, good sources of protein, good sources of omega-3s, good for the heart, a good high-calorie snack that will keep the hunger pains away until your next major meal, and tell people about how much "one serving" of nuts and seeds will be, etc. The presentation should only take about 2-3 minutes. You need enough food for people to "sample" but you don't have to bring enough for a whole meal!

• Final Exam! I would start going over your first three exam questions for the final.  Anything new that was not on Exams 1-3 I will specifically highlight so you know to study it for the final. The most important parts of health are nutrition and physical activity which is what we have spent most of our time on this semester.  There will be NO surprises on the final--I'll be straight up with you about what to know and study.  The final will be mostly true/false questions.
