1. Formative Evaluation: Reading and Understanding Ingredients label
After completion of the third module, the students will be given packaged snacks that clearly
display the ingredient labels. They will be asked to write down the ingredients, define what each
ingredient is and at the end determine if it is healthy or not. This formative evaluation is designed
for learning objective 6 of our course and will be marked out of 20 points.
2. Summative Evaluation: Reading Nutritional Label
At the end of the module students will be handed out several sheets with nutritional labels on
them. Students will be asked questions such as multiple choice questions and true false
questions. This evaluation is designed for learning objectives #4 and #5 of our course. It will
consist of 5 multiple choice questions and 5 true and false questions and it will be marked out of
10 points.
3. Summative Evaluation: How will I eat healthy?

3. After completing the course students will complete a project that will require the use of
knowledge acquired during the course. The students will work in groups of 4 to 6 and they will
create a presentation/display that would inform other students about how they can implement
healthy diets into their life. The presentation/display can be prepared using a variety of platforms
such as a poster, multimedia presentation, powerpoint/prezi, role playing etc. The purpose of this
Evaluation is to see if students are able to transfer their learning into their daily life style.
The evaluation of the presentation/display will take form of the presentation/display evaluation
and peer evaluation process. Students will be given two rubrics: one for the project evaluation
and one for peer evaluation.
