Schedule Adjustment

Hello Health students!

Due to the revised testing schedule next week, we will be moving the lectures on behavior to the following week and setting up the Poster and Running projects this week and next. I think this new schedule will make for a much more relaxed testing environment.

Good luck!

Announcements

Hello Health students!

Congratulations on completing the first Health exam of the year! Grades will be made available Wednesday, after those who were away for the football tournament have had an opportunity for a make-up.

Here are just a couple of announcements to keep in mind as we progress into more personal health content:

- The Calorie Counting Project will extend to the end of the 1st Quarter instead of through the end of the Semester.

- Information on the Running Project will be posted this Friday.

- The Health Poster project will also be introduced soon.

Hope all is well, and again, congrats on this first exam milestone!

SUPER SIZE ME WORKSHEET, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Exam 1 Rescheduled

Hello Health students!

Due to the shortened schedule we are facing this week and the football tournament this weekend, we will be moving the first exam to Monday of next week (Tuesday for those participating in the tournament). We will spend Thursday and Friday finishing the "Super Size Me" worksheet and reviewing relevant material for the exam.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

"Super Size Me" Worksheet Preview

Hello Health students!

Welcome back. I hope that you enjoyed the long weekend! We're going to get right back into things now that we have all returned, so I hope you're ready!

Below is a link to the questions you can expect to find on the "Super Size Me" worksheet we will be filling out later this week. Take a look at, and when doing so, keep in mind that while it looks very substantial, we will be talking about the movie in great detail in-class, so it is much less work than it seems to be.

We will be finishing up the film, completing the worksheet, and reviewing the material we have covered over the past two weeks as we prepare for Friday's exam. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
