Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

Nowadays, we are flooded with too much information about health, disease, exercise, nutrition,
and what we should be behaving to be healthy. This course is designed to develop your knowledge
of the human body and to help you gain a scientific view of what health really means. The program
focuses on the different biomolecules, cells and systems that work together to keep us alive and
healthy. I will try NOT to use “jargon” but to illustrate on core concepts of physiology and
biochemistry in “lay-terms” throughout. I will also encourage you to participate in weekly
discussions as much as possible. By the end of the term you will be hopefully able to appreciate
how well our body is constructed and, furthermore, to raise critical questions to the claims
bombarded by the commercial world every day. The course format is lecture and small group
discussion.
