Human Performance and Nutrition

This course will use the current KIN 110 course content framework enhanced with additional problem solving, critical thinking, and student-centered learning activities and assignments. For example, for the topic on diet, exercise and weight control, students in the honors section will be asked to estimate their own personal energy balance by determining individual energy intake and expenditure and discuss the implications in terms of personal weight management. Students will be required to provide evidence from a primary research paper to support their answer and will be introduced to how to find research papers using library databases. This course is open to all majors.
