NUTR2001 Human Nutrition

Assessment - Part A, Report Plan

Learning Outcome 1: Describe and distinguish the complex nature of human digestion with specific reference to macronutrient absorption

Learning Outcome 2: Define and discuss the structure of the macronutrients and their biological role in human metabolism

Learning Outcome 3: List and recall recommended intakes and dietary sources of the various macronutrients

Learning Outcome 4: Demonstrate an understanding of the contributing factors that may lead to states of excess, insufficiency or deficiency of macronutrients

Learning Outcome 5: Recognise and interpret signs and symptoms associated with states of excess, insufficiency or deficiency of macronutrients

Context:

This assessment is aimed at developing the student's understanding of the macronutrients and the role they play in human metabolism.

By prescribing this assessment, students are able to develop their understanding of the structure of an academic report, the final of which is to be submitted as Assessment 2 Part B.

For this assignment (Part A), the student will develop a draft for the final report, focusing on report structure and content outline.

• The draft plan clearly defines the focus of the report, to express their ideas in a clear and logical manner, preparing for the final report product.
• The draft plan outlines the structure of an academic report, specific to the macronutrients, in order to develop their academic writing skills.
• The draft plan provides some examples of research to be utilised in the final report product, to develop their skills in sourcing and identifying reliable and credible information.

Instructions:
Students are to discuss all of the macronutrients and construct a draft for an academic report on these macronutrients; The Role of Macronutrients in Health.
For this assessment, students should be including the following features:
• The macronutrients to be discussed including brief description
• The overall structure of the report, including all headings and sub-headings
• A minimum of three (3) resources which will be used in the final report

Macronutrients:
• Protein
• Carbohydrates
• Lipids

The final report (Assessment 2 Part B) is due for submission at the end of Module 5.2 (week10) and should include the following:
• The composition of the macronutrients
• The biological functions
• Dietary sources
• Recommended Daily Intake (RDI)
• Factors contributing to states of excess

• Factors contributing to states of insufficiency and deficiency
• Signs and symptoms

Information may be sourced from primary, secondary and tertiary sources:
• Primary sources: original research articles, systematic reviews and meta-analysis from high quality journals, peer reviewed journals.
• Secondary sources: general review articles, summaries, abstracts of primary source articles.
• Tertiary sources: recognised, authoritative textbooks
Referencing:

It is essential that you use appropriate APA style
