Forum Instructions

Respond to the following prompt, which assesses course outcome(s X and module learning objective(s) X [linked to outcomes/objectives chapter in syllabus]. Then, you must respond to 2 of your classmates' posts. After you post a response, you will be able to see other responses.

Your original post is due on [day of week] by [time] CST. Your responses to other students are due on [day of week] by [time] CST. [Adjust for number of posts required.]

Your resonses should be at least [length requirement] long. A simple “I agree” or “Yes” or “LOL” will not count. Please think about the questions and your peers' responses and reply thoughtfully and courteously, according to netiquette rules. Use good English grammar, correct punctuation, and complete sentences. While the posts will mostly be judged by their thoughtfulness and completeness, I reserve the right to take off points for grammatical errors, especially if they interfere with the clarity of the post.

Prompt

“You Are What You Eat” — But What Does That Actually Mean?

What we eat affects every part of our body — how we think and feel, how we grow and heal, and how we get older. Think about these questions:

1. How do your daily eating habits affect your digestion, heart health, and hormones?

2. How do things like culture, money, or personal preferences influence what you choose to eat? How do those choices affect your health?

3. Do you think using your BMI (a number that compares your height and weight) is a good way to judge health? Why or why not? What other things should we think about?

Pick one body system (like digestion, the heart, or hormones) and explain how what you eat affects that system. Then, think about your own eating habits, do they help or challenge that system’s health? Include at least one example from your own life or what you've seen happen.

Rubric

Details:

A forum for discussion promotes peer-to-peer and student-instructor interaction. Questions should be thought provoking and encourage detailed analysis of module topics. Include a rubric.

If you do not want students to see other responses before they post, set type to "Q and A forum." For this type, you must create a post first for students to respond.

Subscription: Set to Auto.

Due dates: You cannot set due dates for forums, so be sure to tell students when to post above. These dates will not appear on the Moodle calendar.

Ratings: will place the forum in the gradebook. You can set a maximum grade. Restricting ratings to a date range only affects when you can grade, and not when the activity is available to students.

Activity completion: Select completion criteria and an expected completed date.
