Synopsis

Nutrition: Science and Applications, 2e helps students develop the scientific understanding to support their personal and professional decisions.  Using a critical thinking approach, Smolin brings nutrition out of the classroom and allows students to apply the logic of science to their own nutrition concerns – both as consumers and as future scientists and health professionals.  The text and WileyPLUS course has been developed through a collaboration between the authors and the Nutrition Advisory Board, a team of dedicated nutrition instructors who help review and develop all of Wiley’s nutrition resources.

WileyPLUS

Different learning styles, different levels of proficiency, different levels of preparation―each of your students is unique. WileyPLUS empowers them to take advantage of their individual strengths:  Students receive timely access to resources that provide immediate feedback and remediation when needed, integrated multi-media resources―including audio and visual exhibits, demonstration problems provide multiple study-paths to fit each student’s learning preferences and encourage more active learning, many opportunities for self-assessment linked to the relevant portions of the content.

WileyPLUS empowers faculty with the tools and resources you need to make your teaching even more effective: customize your classroom presentation with a wealth of resources and functionality from PowerPoint slides to a database of rich visuals,  identify those students who are falling behind and intervene accordingly, simplify and automate tasks such as student performance assessment, creating assignments by learning objective, reporting outcomes of groups or individuals.

WileyPLUS is a powerful online tool that provides instructors and students with an integrated suite of teaching and learning resources in one easy-to-use website.  Organized around learning objectives, WileyPLUS allows instructors to assign homework and quiz questions that help students achieve specific learning outcomes.  A learning styles survey, developed by Wiley and the Institute for Learning Styles research, allows students to discover their blend of learning styles.  WileyPLUS resources and general study tips for each learning style are provided.  Resources, such as How It Works animations, have been developed specifically to strengthen student understanding of the most difficult topics in Nutrition.  These animations break difficult processes into manageable modules.   These animations have been developed by the Nutrition Advisory Board and are available, along with a host of other tools in WileyPLUS. 

Visualizing Nutrition comes packaged with Grosvenor & Smolin's Nutritient Composition of Foods ISBN: 9780470555019.
