Approved by Curriculum Committee in Fall 2013. 2. Changed required text book to better align the course for transfer to dietetics program to San Francisco State University, including unit on metabolism. 3. Continued to use Insight to tech-enhance this course, including features such as online quizzes and questionnaire to gather course evaluation data and students' self-assessment of mastery of course SLOs. |

Assessment Methods
| Methods | Course evaluation survey administered via Insight, for students to reflect and self-evaluate their mastery of course SLOs and to share relevant feedback. For each of the SLOs, students were asked to rate themselves on how well they think they achieved the SLO based on a scale of 1(lowest) to 10(highest). |

For SLO A (explain the role of nutrients in promoting health and preventing disease), 93% of students gave a rating of 7 or higher on achievement of the SLO 2. For SLO B (compare and contrast the essential nutrients, their functions in the body, dietary sources, and the effects of insufficient as well as excessive intakes), 87% of students gave a rating of 7 or higher 3. For SLO C (explain the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats), 86% of students gave a rating of 7 or higher 4. For SLO D (analyze the relationship of energy balance to body weight and body composition, and health implications), 87% of students gave a rating of 7 or higher 5. For SLO E (evaluate dietary adequacy using appropriate food guidance system and dietary guidelines, and make appropriate recommendations to promote and maintain health), 86% of students gave a rating of 7 or higher 6. For SLO F (critically evaluate emerging nutrition issues and controversies), 92% of students gave a rating of 7 or higher |
| Planned Improvements | Continue to add new resources and refine assignments and assessments as needed. Based on survey, quizzes, and student feedback, next time allocate more time for unit on Trace Minerals and one less session on energy balance/weight management. NOTE: This course has been approved to develop into a fully online course. Development is scheduled to begin in Spring 2014. |
| Program Review Link | Yes, the above future improvements require resources that will be requested during the next annual PROGRAM REVIEW cycle. Examples: additional staff, equipment, software, consulting services, etc. |
