wellbeing and own diet and this course also relate to my field of study which are Psychology
and Physical Education. In my majors I will be expected to teach learners about nutrition
therefore if I acquire a lot of knowledge about nutrition then I will be able to deliver a lesson
that will be educationalin a waythat firstly I will be teaching teenagers whotends to be obese
and during their lunch break they eat a lot of junk which is sold in their tuck shops therefore
I will extend their knowledge whereby they will be taught on how to take care of their health
and what certain foods can affect one’s health.
Expectations

understand the scientific basis of human information and gain the skills to evaluate nutrition
information from various sources and also to be able to apply the knowledge that I have
acquired to make informed choices about my own lifestyle and also be able to teach my
