Winter Quarter = Most time consuming quarter ever! Here's what I've been up to:
Human Nutrition 314-->I'm in class with pre-med, med, or medical dietetics majors. We learn about the chemical and physical aspects to food preparation and use. Every Wednesday afternoon, I have a food lab. In the labs we conduct experimentations. For example, in last week's lab, we made custards using 2 yolks, 2 whites, 2 eggs, 1 egg, 2 tbsp sugar, or 1/4 sugar. We then determined which variation made the stable/least stable custard, best looking/worst looking custard, best/worst tasting custard, etc. We also compared the results of fresh custard with frozen custard. I love participating in the labs, but I hate studying for the midterms because I have to memorize numerous amounts of materials.
Education 306.07 --> I have an awesome lecturer for this class. Definitely enjoy being in her class. We are learning about the history of education, the different education philosophers and their theories/philosophies, the roles of the school board, principal, superitendent, state board of education, etc, and all the legal aspects of education ranging from teacher's rights to student's rights to separate of school and church.
Family Resource Management 260 --> I'm taking this class online. I turn in homework and take a quiz every week. I've been learning about financial planning, real estate buying, investments, credit cards, taxes, etc. Since the class is online, I defintely have to make sure to read all the chapters in the textbook. :(
Family and Consumer Sciences Education 289 --> Field Experience for my education major. I am currrently observing Kilbourne Middle School 8th grade FCS classes. Last Thursday, I conducted my very first lesson plan. My professor was also there to evaluate my performance. :S I have many observation assignments and teaching logs to turn in by the end of the quarter.
