Greetings!
(Listen to the greetings
by Professor Barbara Brennessel.)
Welcome to Biology 205, Nutrition. I am happy to be able to offer Nutrition as part of Wheaton's distance learning initiative. I have structured the alumnae/i version of this course so that relevant web sites can be used to provide some of the information that Wheaton students will be learning by coming to class and reading our textbook.
All the underlined sections of the course syllabus are linked to web sites which cover class topics in different ways. In order to derive the greatest benefit from following the course on-line, I suggest that you try the assignments described below. There are assignments for most of the topics that I will cover in the course. Please feel free to complete as many assignments as you wish; you may submit them to me via email (bbrennes@wheatonma.edu) and I will respond. Feel free to call with questions. I will generally be in my office on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Monday and Friday afternoons.
In addition to assignments you may also wish to be involved in the course via electronic discussions of certain topics that I will post. You have already been registered for these discussions. Information for participation in the discussions is provided via Wheaton's Home page or from Instructions for Participation in Discussions. The discussion itself can be reached from Wheaton's home page or from the Discussion Forum link below.
I hope you enjoy your participation
in Bio 205.
Please send a message to the tech support if you run into any techology problems.
