Learning is enhanced by guest lecturer presentations, audio-visual materials and an e-Learning platform. During tutorial sessions students work individually and in small groups to analyse and critique nutritional elements of diet. Students are assessed on their ability to apply knowledge of factors impacting individual nutritional status to evaluate and interpret human nutrition requirements across various stages of the lifecycle. Students produce a professional report demonstrating their ability to evaluate the complex relationships between food intake, food supply, individual nutritional requirements and metabolic functioning.
