Unit 5 Project Expectations

Saturday, July 11, 2009
Hello all,

I hope you review postings as I all ready wrote about this project but having graded some, I want to review my expectations.

This is a college class and you are doing an "Analysis" of your diet. On the first day of class, I think that the majority of you would have agreed, you needed to improve your diet. You also knew that you probably needed more fruits and veggies and less fat in your diet. You do not need a college class and a big textbook to tell you that.

Thus, I do not accept that type of response.
I expect an analysis. Where you look at the findings from the diet analysis. You then look at the pyramid. You analyze your own pyramid via "food servings" which is not the same as amounts of food- see earlier blog where I talk about servings size.

This analysis means you really think about what you discovered. You write MORE than 2 sentences. I expect close to 500 words in the analysis. You go to the textbook and back up what you are saying about your diet.

This project is worth 100 points- it means that it takes longer. Yes, it will. It will take you up to 3 times as long as any other project- but it is worth 2.5 times more points.

Please think about what you are writing. Analyze, critique, be critical of your diet and see what you can do to make it better. Watch discretionary calories.

Good luck- you can all do it!!!!!!!!

Fondly,

Dr. Kathy
