The workload is very extensive, however, it really allowed me to gain a lot of valuable knowledge about nutrition. I would spend on average 4-5 hours a week on homework/assignments/quizzes/essays. If you are expecting to take an easy class- do not sign up for it through Rio Salado. I would recommend a different college. I received an A in the class, however, I really had to work for it.

I took the midterm several weeks ago and scored a B on it. I was really worried about my grade going into the test, but the questions were really straightforward and pretty simple. There are two parts for multiple choice questions, each with 40 questions. The questions were worth 2 points apiece- 80 points for questions and then 40 points for the four essays for a total of 100 points all together. The teacher said beforehand that the exam was worth over 320 some points, but this was inaccurate info. (I should note though that the questions did not come from the quizzes at all.) The one thing that helped me prepare for the test was taking the various multiple choice chapter tests from the book companion website (11th edition). Here is the link: Book Companion Site There were four essays on the midterm. Three out of the four were ones that were previously assigned in class to to submit as essays for homework. If you like, I can tell you which ones were on my test. Also, if you need any other help, just let me know.

I was also wondering if anyone has a completed study guide for Rio Salado's Fon 241 Nutrition course? I have been working really hard to study for the upcoming midterm, but there is just so much material to grasp that I am worried I am not going to learn anything in time. Any help would be much appreciated.
