Biology 45Introduction to Human Nutrition. This 4-unit course is a detailed, scientific look into nutrition with an emphasis on disease prevention and treatment. We examine and evaluate many of the confusing claims made about nutrition in books, magazines, TV and the internet. This course if offered every quarter (including the summer quarter in a condensed 6 weeks). There are 3 midterm exams, a final exam and one major assignment (you analyze and assess your own diet) for this course.
Welcome Questionnaire - Print, fill out and bring to first class
Course Packet
This contains detailed instructions for completing your Diet Assignment, an extensive Study Guide for all exams, and handouts. The Course Packet does not need to be printed, but must be read and used throughout the course. This packet was revised this quarter (Winter 2012) so don't use one from a previous quarter.
Additional Handouts -- some are required reading!

(for Biology 45, you do not need to focus on the numbers of NADHs and the actual ATPs formed, though it does help to understand this!) Check out his other videos. Thank you Billy for making me aware of this awesome resource for learning!
Power Point Slides
I provide these slides to you to reduce the amount of information you need to write down during the lectures, however note-taking is still necessary! There is room next to each slide for you to take notes. The pace of the lectures is set with the assumption that you have these slides. But, having these slides does not replace coming to class! The slides here do not include all of the slides used in class, and a great deal of information is given in class is not on these slides.
The slides are in "pdf" format. You need to have Adobe Acorbat Reader on the computer you are using. If you don't have this on your computer, it is available for free from the Adobe website
It is recommended that you print the slides and bring them to each class.PP Slides: IntroductionPP Slides: ResearchPP Slides: Nutrition and Diet Assessment and Energy CalculationsPP Slides: DigestionPP Slides: CHO (includes Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome)
