3 BIOL 1322 Syllabus Nutrition Pathways Welcome to Nutrition Pathways! Nutrition Pathways is a survey course of basic concepts. Each lesson covered could easily be a course in itself. Many of you may be majoring in nutrition or other allied health programs that have an introduction to nutrition degree requirements; others may be non-majors who are interested in learning about basic nutrition as it applies to their own lives and the lives of their families. The text presents the nutrition concepts; the video programs personalize the concepts from the text in practical ways; and the student course guide serves as your daily instructor by providing specific guidance on what to study in the text and videos. Depending on your needs and degree requirements, the amount of nutrition information you want to master is up to you. Although this course covers the required nutrition concepts associated with a collegelevel introductory nutrition course, it is also designed to engage you in the lives of the individuals who are profiled in the video lessons. You will experience many of the same day-today challenges as the video subjects who make nutrition and lifestyle choices that impact their health and well-being. The Dallas TeleCollege Online hopes this course will ultimately help you modify your own nutrition and lifestyle habits in order to lead more successful lives. Important: Keep this syllabus handy and use it as a guide throughout the semester. Sincerely, Dallas TeleCollege Online Military Support Team NAVY@dcccd.edu NCPACE BIOL
