FCS 270 Intermediate Foods (WebCT)

 

FCS 270 Syllabus


Welcome to FCS 270, Intermediate Foods. This course was developed by Dr. Laurel Branen and Mrs. Samantha Ramsay. Intermediate Foods is a very practical course intended for foods and nutrition and FCS education students. However, child development students and food science students also have found the course to be helpful. In fact, if you are planning to eat in the future, you will find the course to be valuable. Intermediate Foods includes modules on food safety, food preservation, meal management, communicating to the public, and food and culture. This is a practical, hands-on course with many projects. You will complete case studies, plan menus for families with limited income, write a feature article, and do a food demonstration. We have selected the assignments to maximize your learning. Remember that for every project you complete, we have to grade thirty, so we have chosen the assignments very carefully.

 

If you are enrolled in the course, you can access it via the internet: http://webct.uidaho.edu. You will use your University of Idaho ID and password to access WebCT. FCS 270 should appear on your WebCT list. I will be releasing the contents one week at a time, so you can’t get ahead of the rest of the class. Since it is a web course, you will be expected to participate in the discussion group (actually a bulletin board, for those of you who are familiar with this) and to submit your assignments via the web. Module assignments are due the Monday following the week that the module is made available to you. All assignments must be done in Microsoft Word or saved as Rich Text Format documents.

 

We will meet for labs about eight times during the semester. We also will meet for a live "lecture" class several times. Most of these meeting times are listed on the syllabus.
