BULLETIN-BOARD PROJECT

Nutrition Education (NFS 333) is one of the 3-credit requirements of the didactic program in dietetics (DPD) at Hunter College. Ever since 1998 when Dr. Arlene Spark started teaching the course, students have been required to plan, construct, mount, and evaluate a bulletin board or display case that communicates a nutrition message to a specific audience. The board or display is worth 10% of the grade for NFS 333. (A written component of this project is worth an additional 5%).

Constructing a bulletin board or an educational display provides students with experience developing and evaluating nutrition education materials, using visuals to communicate nutrition concepts, and communicating with professional or lay audiences. This assignment helps students meet the American Dietetic Association's DPD competencies to attain a basic knowledge of lay and technical writing (A. 1.2) and of media presentations (A. 1.3).

Throughout the fall semester, students' bulletin boards are mounted for one week at a time on the second floor of the Brookdale Health Science Center, while students choosing to construct a display case have their work on display for an entire month. Shown here are selected projects that were on display during the fall 2003 semester. here.
