FINAL EXAM 11:30 am-12:45 pm (Tentatively AGB)
C O U R S E C O N T E N T : This course will focus on how diet and exercise affect health, disease and performance. We will cover the
role of diet and exercise in chronic diseases, nutrients, food properties and exercise physiology. The goal
is to provide a foundation for prudent dietary and physical activity related decisions, to gain an
appreciation for the strengths and limitations of research in the field and how to apply this information
to one’s life.
E V A L U A T I O N : The exams will be multiple choice and short answer
• Midterm: 250 points ~40 multiple choice and T/F questions, ~5 short answer
• Final: 250 points ~40 multiple choice and T/F questions, ~5 short answer; final IS NOT cumulative
• Lifestyle Assessment Report: 100 points
• Exams must be taken at the scheduled exam times. No early or late exams permitted. If you are unable to take an
examination due to illness or other emergency, you must contact the professor before the examination. You are
required to have written verification regarding the illness or emergency.
• All 3 parts must be completed, or an F grade will be given
• The exam questions will come from the lecture material only
• Bring a #2 pencil to the exams
• There is a no tolerance policy on cheating, which will result in an F grade
• Course is graded on a curve (ave at B-/C+ cutpoint) and grades are assigned only at the end
L A B O R A T O R Y C O M P O N E N T : The laboratory component of this course is a lifestyle assessment project: (See handout
packet on course website)
1. 7 Day Nutrition Assessment Laboratory – to be entered using Diet Analysis 8.0
2. Body Composition Laboratory (at John Wooden Center)
3. Cholesterol Risk and Blood Pressure Screening Laboratory (at John Wooden Center)
4. Exercise Tests Laboratory: Health/Fitness Tests: BW and Fat (BMI, W/H ratio, BIA), Aerobic Capacity, Endurance,
and Strength
5. Discussion of all reported data, family history of disease and personal recommendations in a paper with data tables.
No late projects accepted. No exceptions
UCLA Student Conduct Code
102.01: Academic Dishonesty
All forms of academic misconduct, including, but not limited to, cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, multiple submissions or facilitating
academic misconduct.

102.01a: Cheating
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the use of unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise; or the
failure to observe the expressed procedures or instructions of an academic exercise (e.g., examination instructions regarding alternate
seating or conversation during an examination).
102.01b: Fabrication
Fabrication includes, but is not limited to, falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.
102.01c: Plagiarism
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the use of another's words or ideas as if they were one's own, including, but not limited to,
representing, either with the intent to deceive or by the omission of the true source, part of or an entire work produced by someone
other than the student, obtained by purchase or otherwise, as the student's original work or representing the identifiable but altered
ideas, data, or writing of another person as if those ideas, data, or writing were the student's original work.
102.01d: Multiple Submissions
Multiple submissions includes, but is not limited to, the resubmission by a student of any work which has been previously submitted for
credit in identical or similar form in one course to fulfill the requirements of a second course, without the informed permission/consent
of the instructor of the second course; or the submission by a student of any work submitted for credit in identical or similar form in
one course to fulfill the requirements of a concurrent course, without the permission/consent of the instructors of both courses.
102.01e: Facilitating Academic Dishonesty
Facilitating academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, knowingly helping another student commit an act of academic
