Developing a Graduate Level Introductory Food Systems Course
The UW Master of Public Health (MPH) Common Core Curriculum was recently revised, which led to changes in course requirements for MPH and MS graduate students in the Nutritional Sciences Program for the upcoming 2020-2021 academic year. This created a new need for an introductory food systems course that fulfilled Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) competencies, which would be offered to MS students within the Nutritional Sciences Program and other disciplines within the School of Public Health.
This project’s goals were to:
- Co-develop NUTR 514, an introductory food systems course, for MS students in the UW School of Public Health.
- Co-prepare a complete draft of the NUTR 514 course syllabus to be circulated for additional feedback among Nutritional Sciences faculty and finalized for prospective students.
- Learn about and participate in the backward course design process.
Deliverables included identifying course learning objectives, drafting lesson plans, and designing assessments.
