HLT 94 – Human Nutrition: Assignment 1– Current Topics in Nutrition

Purpose: To help students evaluate the reliability and accuracy of nutrition information from professional publications, newspapers, magazines and/or internet sources.
Assignment: Obtain 4 articles related to the same topic in human nutrition (see topics list).
• 1 article from a newspaper or magazine
• 2 from internet websites
• 1 from a professional journal

DUE DATE: April 9
The assignment is worth 60 points (15% of your semester grade).
How to find articles:**
1. Newspaper or magazine article can come from its print source or its internet site (not a related blog). Print the article or make a copy to hand in with the assignment. Label this as your “newspaper” or “magazine” article.
2. The 2 internet sites can come from a google search. In choosing your internet sites, 1 site should be “.com” and 1 site should be “.gov” or “.org”. Print out the information/articles from each website and hand them in with your assignment. Label these as your “internet .com” or “internet .org” or “internet.gov” site. Do not use Wikipedia as a source.
3. Professional journal articles can be found using Google Scholar or the BCC Library / Learning Center Databases. Print out one full article (from either the databases or Google Scholar) and hand it in with your assignment. Label this as your “professional journal “ article. Instructions for accessing the BCC databases are below:
a. Go to the BCC Library home page
b. Under the quicklinks dropdown, click “Databases.”
c. Search Medline with Full-Text (note your search terms)

** For each of these steps, note the search terms that you had to use to find the relevant information for your assignment. Keep track of these so that you can answer question #1 below.

What you will turn in (3-4 pages total, double-spaced):
1. What was your topic? What were your search terms? Did you need to refine your search after the first try? Why?
2. Read the abstract of the professional journal article. What did you conclude from reading the abstract? Read the rest of the article and briefly describe what you learned.
3. What are the differences between the magazine/newspaper, the internet sites, and the research article? Which is easier to read and understand? Why? Use specific examples from your articles to illustrate your points.
4. Which internet sites did you select? (Compare the .com site with the .org or .gov site.) Were there any differences in the two sites in terms of content, believability and depth of the argument? Which one do you think is most reliable? Again, give specific examples from your sites.
5. Which source do you think is most likely to be read by the average person? Is it also the most reliable? Explain your answer.
6. Write a ½ page summary of the topic you chose based on the information gathered from your 4 sources.
7. Make sure to use APA citation guidelines for your 4 sources.

nobody will answer all of this. You are going to need to break it up into like, 10 different questions. All of this is not worth 10 points.

Current Topics In Nutrition

Answer 3

This is an easy one. If the world gets too hot, we've proven that we can survive it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in hot, dry areas. If the world gets cold, then we've already proven that we can withstand ice ages, and that's without any "high" technology. If the world gets overpopulated, it will, out of necessity, balance itself out. I don't think we need to worry about surviving the next 100 years. The real question is how to we keep the next 100 years from becoming the next Dark Age.
