Who is an Intro to Nutrition class for?

This nutrition course earns 3 credits. Introduction to Nutrition at StraighterLine is similar to the class offered at colleges and universities across the nation.

What kind of work and assignments should I expect?
Students can expect assignments that are clear, engaging, and even a little bit of fun. (Yes, science can be fun!) You will be graded on a series of short quizzes and have the opportunity to regularly assess yourself with ungraded practice tests. In Introduction to Nutrition, you’ll learn about nutrients and how the body uses them. You’ll assess how good or bad nutrition affects a person’s health, and how nutrient needs change at different stages of life. You will also learn how psychology, society, and your own values and beliefs can have an impact on how you eat.
How quickly will I have to complete assignments?
There are no homework deadlines or required hours; students work at their own pace. The courses are always available online so you can go as fast as you want, whenever you want.
