Dear Human Nutrition Student,
Welcome to Human Nutrition Guided Study course. This course is designed to introduce you to the basic principles of nutrition with emphasis on personal nutrition. This course will enhance your knowledge regarding the role of food and nutrition and an application of therapeutic diets. You will have the opportunity to analyze your dietary habits and identify dietary deficiencies/excesses.
You have chosen to take HWE 1003A1 as a Guided Study course. The Guided Study format gives you maximum freedom and flexibility. There are no class meetings to attend; you do all the work at the time that is convenient for you. With the freedom comes responsibility; the people who succeed in Guided Study courses are those with self-discipline.
