    I would like to become a dietician when I'm done highschool so this program would give me a good start. How ever do you think if i signed up It would be okay to just watch the lectures becausee i need time for homework, im always swamped.

    Another good course, offered through University of Pittsburgh via Coursera: Nutrition and Physical Activity for Health.

    https://www.coursera.org/course/nutritionforhealth

    I'm signed up for this one! So looking forward to it. I love coursera :)

    I agree that if everyone on these forums took one of these nutrition courses, this would probably be a much more enjoyable place hahah.

    This is the second offering of this course through coursera.org and University of California, San Francisco. If you have a little time, this is a good course. If you don't want to keep up with the actual class, you should enroll anyway and you can download the lectures to watch later. If you've never heard of coursera.org or edx.com and you love learning, you'll love these sites! Gogogo.



    Nutrition for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
    with Professor Katie Ferraro


    About the course: "This course covers the basics of normal nutrition for optimal health outcomes and evidence-based diets for a variety of diseases. Participants will learn the fundamentals of nutrition science and build upon these to explore emerging diet therapies, to analyze nutrition research and to plan well-balanced meals and dietary interventions for both healthy individuals and those with a number of diseases and health conditions."
    This is very cool.... loving the class I'm currently taking... Is there a limit to how many classes we're able to sign up for? I guess I should probably look under th QA section. lol

    One of mine starts the 24th and the other one.. Nutrition/Food Sustainability just started yesterday so I'm not far behind.

    Thanks so much...I love learning!

    No limit. I'm enrolled in a bunch of courses but only actually doing the work in two at a time. The others, I just download all of the materials for whenever I have time to do them. (I'm also fearful that this type of resource won't be free forever.)

    Definitely. Just enroll, watch the lectures when you have time, and learn. :) It will definitely give you a head start on dietitian studies.
