Creative diagram or infographic on one macronutrient’s journey through digestion and absorption in the body.

Description

The learning objectives for this chapter focus heavily on mechanisms and processes involved in nutrient digestion and absorption, specifically how food molecules are broken down into their unique constituents and absorbed for usage in the body. This assignment requires students to create a diagram or infographic on a macronutrient (carbohydrates, lipids/fats, or proteins) of choice, and how it progresses through the body during digestion and absorption.

Students should be able to answer the following four questions:

  1. Macronutrient Source: what are some major food sources of this macronutrient?
  2. Digestion: how is this macronutrient digested?
  3. Absorption: how is this macronutrient absorbed?
  4. Limitations: are there any internal or external limitations on how this nutrient may be obtained for use in the body?

Students should also provide an organized list of APA-formatted citations and sources.

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
