The nutritional needs for normal growth and development, as well as the consequences of under- or over-nutrition at critical life stages and what major interventions have been implemented to address these consequences will be examined. We will also discuss how lifestyle factors and demographics play a role in meeting nutritional requirements at various life stages. Suggested Pre-requisites Introductory Biology, Introductory Chemistry Course Objectives Identify the macro- and micronutrients critical for normal human growth and development Develop an understanding for the biological basis of nutrient requirements during conception, pregnancy and lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and older adulthood (65+) Recognize the health consequences of under or excess nutrient intake at critical life stages Understand the rationale for major public health nutritional interventions Understand how additional lifestyle factors (e.g., sleep, exercise) can affect nutrient requirements Identify socioeconomic and cultural barriers to meeting nutrient needs NUTR 510 students develop an understanding of methodological aspects of the research regarding nutrition in the life cycle 1

2 Course Competencies Explain the importance of nutrient intake for normal human development and health maintenance throughout the life cycle Apply biological knowledge of nutrient requirements during critical life stages to address health consequences of a nutrient imbalance Explain the purpose of dietary guidelines in the United States Discuss the justification for major nutritional interventions that have occurred in the United States to address health concerns due to nutritional imbalance Evaluate lifestyle factors when considering nutritional needs of individuals across the life cycle Demonstrate knowledge and awareness of barriers in our society that prevent individuals to meet nutritional needs NUTR 510 students demonstrate interpretation of methodological aspects and results of the research regarding nutrition in the life cycle Required Textbook Judith E.

Extra Credit Opportunity for All Students - Interprofessional Teams and Team Work Module (total time to complete is estimated to be only 3 hours!) I encourage you to participate in an online interprofessional team-based module (note two in-person meetings with your teams) to better understand team dynamics and how to improve teambuilding skills. Throughout this process you will learn about your specific personality roles and strategies that you use while solving problems in an interdisciplinary team. This is module has specific due dates between the dates of January 15 to February 11 (see schedule below). If you agree to participate, you will be added to a Canvas site where you can access module materials and surveys. By completing this, you will earn 5 extra points added on to your lowest exam score.

Courtesy, honesty, and respect should be shown by students toward faculty members, guest lecturers, administrative support staff, and fellow students. Similarly, students should expect faculty to treat them fairly, showing respect for their ideas and opinions and striving to help them achieve maximum benefits from their experience in the School. Student academic misconduct refers to behavior that may include plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, falsification of records or official documents, intentional misuse of equipment or materials (including library materials), and aiding and abetting the perpetration of such acts. The preparation of reports, papers, and examinations, assigned on an individual basis, must represent each student s own effort. Reference sources should be indicated clearly. The use of assistance from other students or aids of any kind during a written examination, except when the use of aids such as electronic devices, books or notes has been approved by an instructor, is a violation of the standard of academic conduct (Standard of Academic Conduct, University of Michigan School of Public Health). - Source: Advisory Committee on Academic Programs (ACAP) in response to the Report of the Committee to Review Ethics in the School of Public Health (2004). Gender Inclusive Classroom: All people have the right to be addressed and referred to in accordance with their personal identity. In this class, we will have the chance to indicate the name that we prefer to be called and, if we choose, to identify pronouns with which we would like to be addressed. Remember that all students can and should indicate their personal pronouns via Wolverine access, using the Gender Identity tab under Student Business. I will do my best to address and refer to all students accordingly and support classmates in doing so as well. University Services: Students with Learning Differences or Special Needs: By the second week of class you must give me documentation from the special needs office.
