- Course Catalog Description:
- This is a laboratory course focused on biochemical methods for determining nutritional status. This course uses biological samples from the students themselves as the source material. In this course, students will develop a better understanding of the usefulness and limitations of the biochemical methods, as well as the principles behind the procedures and instruments used. Students will also expand their nutrition knowledge, improve their lab skills, develop their scientific writing abilities, and exercise their problem solving skills. Prerequisites: BIOC 3021, STAT 3011, Nutrition Major, or Instructor Consent
- Class Description:
- This course provides a laboratory experience in chemical and biochemical methods of analysis of nutritional status. The majority of lab experiences will be conducted to determine the student's own nutritional status. Students develop an understanding of the usefulness of various biochemical parameters in ascertaining nutritional status, become familiar with a variety of laboratory equipment and procedures, develop an understanding of the theory of operation of a number of laboratory instruments, and learn the principles involved in a number of chemical and biochemical procedures. There is one lecture and one laboratory period per week. The course is intended primarily for upper division dietetics and nutrition science majors and beginning nutrition graduate students, although it is appropriate for any student wishing to take a biochemistry-oriented laboratory course. Students must have taken courses in biochemistry and physiology. A course in statistics is highly recommended.
