A Mixed Course-Based Research Approach to Human Physiology
Description: The Biology 256 Laboratory course was designed to provide students with hands-on access to modern techniques in human physiological analyses using the course-based research pedagogical approach. In this course, students will learn how to perform literature searches; generate research questions and hypotheses; design experiments; collect, analyze, visualize and interpret data; and present scientific findings to others. The Biol 256L curriculum offers a high-impact human physiology experience that fosters the critical thinking skills required to be a successful citizen in a modern world filled with misinformation.
NUTR251 Nutrition Through the Life Cycle
Author: Sabine Zempleni
Description: This book is designed to accompany NUTR251 Nutrition Through the Life Cycle. The course follows the introductory Human Nutrition and Metabolism course. During the introductory course students studied the corner posts of nutrition knowledge, nutrients and their food sources, recommended amounts, digestion, absorption and their metabolism. Students were also introduced to the interaction between eating and chronic diseases. Nutrition Through the Lifecycle will build on this knowledge and expand it.
