Hello again fellow bikers and class mates from Kaplan University! My two classes are coming to an end, and a new adventure will begin again. Food Science with Lab with Nanna Cross is closing in one week and Nutritional Counseling with Tamara Hein is too. These were very interesting class and I would recommend them to anyone. The labs were kinda tedious to write and some of the foods did not turn out the way I had expected, and one of my meat thermometers melted, but, all in all, I did learn quite a bit. Did you know that if the label says hydrogenated on the label, like Crisco shortening, and it says it does not contain any trans fats, that it really does, it contains like .5 % of trans fat. That is one thing I learned. Can you believe that? I can't.
Did you know that you can learn an awful lot about diet just by going to the website ADA? That is the American Dietetic Association, there are a lot of cool videos to teach you stuff there. Check it out.
Well, I hope I get to stay in contact with my classmates from that class, we had some very interesting discussions on the discussion boards. On line learning is good for fitting schooling to your schedule, but bad for seeing and getting to know your classmates. Also, it is kinda hard to get a little boost to your self-confidence when you are not there in person from your professors. Never the less, it has its advantages. I can still work and go to school and have a family life, somewhat, when I am not studying with my head in a book or on a computer.
