Several faculty members in FST have course web sites that are desirable and educational. Here are the results from the UCLA study I mentioned. It was written up in the Columbus Dispatch last week, see handout. I like having the homework sets and solutions on line for my students. The food eng course is homework intensive - sets are assigned each lecture and due the following lecture.
Students can obtain lecture material prior to class.
If they are willing to do that, they can be prepared and do not have to spend time copying my transparencies. They have more time to listen. I can post assignments. Some of them will lose them and this way they can get a copy at their convenience. I do not have to worry about having a thirty page listing of the nutrient content of fast foods for an assignment.
