Lectures are used to deliver content relevant to the specified course objectives. Lectures include the opportunity for open discussion, questions and problem solving activities.

Tutorials aim to develop and support the material covered in the lectures as well as provide a forum for acquiring skills and knowledge necessary to complete the assessment tasks. The tutorials take the form of class discussions, demonstrations and problems-solving activities. Additionally students are required to present their Group Presentation to the class during tutorial time.

Workshops are used to provide students enrolled in the Bachelor for Food and Nutrition Science an opportunity to ask questions regarding their course program, workload, career path, and issues related to their university study. In addition these workshop time-slots will be used to make up lectures and tutorials missed due to Monday public holidays falling during the semester.

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

Variations to this time table may occur

Minimum requirements for passing Food, Nutrition and Health I

To pass, students must gain an overall mark of at least 50% and no less than 50% of the possible mark for both i) the exam component and ii) the written assignment. Students are required to submit each assessment task.

Failure to meet the above minimum requirements for the course may result in a student failing the course or being offered an additional assessment task(s).

Task 1: Diet Diary 

Students will be required to keep a record of their dietary intake for five days. Further details of this assignment, including an example diet diary, will be given during the first tutorial. Students will be shown how to undertake a qualitative assessment of their recorded dietary intake using the Eat for Health - 最新糖心Vlogn Dietary Guidelines. Students will then be required to complete their assessment of their diet diary, outside of the tutorial, and comment on their analysis.

Task 2: Written Assignment

As a nutrition writer for a health magazine, students will be required to prepare a written response to a letter received by the magazine.The response will be in two parts:

Part 1: A referenced report (2000 words)
Part 2: A response to the letter that is published in the magazine (800 –1000 words).

Students are required to submit a draft of the Part 1 (the referenced report) electronically via MyUni. This is worth 5% of the overall mark for this assessment task.  The aim of this draft is to give students feedback on their progress with their report, which will assist with finishing Task 2. A hard copy of the final version of Part 1 & Part 2 must be submitted on teh Due date. An electronic copy of both Part 1 & Part 2 must also be submitted using Turnitin. 
 
Task 3: Group Oral Presentation

Students will be required to work in groups of four to five on an assigned topic.
Students will be required to work on this presentation outside of the tutorial time.
This oral presentation should last for 15 minutes including time allowed for audience participation.
Each group will be responsible for leading a discussion into a topic.
There must be clear evidence of teamwork with the presentation and each member of the group must present a section of the topic area to the class.

A hard copy of the references used by each Tutorial Group is required to be submitted at the end of the presentation.

Students will be allocated their group, topic and presentation date in the first tutorial.
 

Final Written Exam

A final exam will occur at the end of the semester to ensure knowledge and understanding of course material.

All material covered in the course is examinable unless otherwise indicated by the Course Coordinator and lecturer.

The exam is a 3 hour, closed book exam which generally takes the form of short written answer questions.
